Sincerely, John F. Kennedy"
The President had a copy of
that certificate. bearing the
official seal of the Tomah
School District, in his hand as
he spoke to the assembled class
today almost under the revolv-
ing rotors of the helicopter.
He told them they were well
come at the White House, that
it belonged to them, and added:
you were very hospitable to
me when I was at your high
school"
A Winnebago Indian boy, one
of four full-blooded Winnie
bagoes in the class, presented to
Mr.. Kennedy a basket made by
his mother. The President
stared in astonishment at the
lads haircut, for his head was
shaved except for an inch-wide
strip from forelock to the nape
of the neck.
The school superintendent
introduced the lad, Ronald
Lowe, to Mr.. Kennedy, saying:
Hes a nice boy-he doesn't
ordinarily wear a haircut like
that"
Others explained that Ronald
had been "kidded into it," and
Ronald himself explained that
it was really a Mohawk hair
cut, not a Winnebago style.
Mr.. Kennedy proved his pop

President Kennedy today
kept a 15-month-old promise
to greet the senior class of
Tomah (Wis.) High School.
Ninety-four strong. including
a scattering of parents, the
seniors had a return visit with
Mr.. Kennedy on the White
House lawn and formed a
cheering section as he took off
in a Marine Corps helicopter
for Annapolis to deliver the
commencement address at the
Naval Academy.

Bjorge. HE kept his prom
Use. 1t was wonderful"
The class showed up at the
White House yesterday but was
too early to see Mr.. Kennedy,
flying in from his talks in
Europe.
The White House invited
them back this morning to
make good on a written pledge
the class exacted from Mr..
Kennedy when he visited their
school during the presidential
primary campaign in Wiscon-
sin last March.
After a half-hour talk in the
school auditorium, MIR. Kennedy
invited the students to ask
questions. The first one popped
was, Can we come and see you
in Washington next year?"
Mr.. Kennedy said they GER
tainly could-whereupon one
student dashed out of the hall,

A 25-year-old former moving

early today. He was rousted
out of bed at 2 am. and
charged with the theft of red
carpet from the Sheraton-Park

Eighth Precinct Detective
Wayne M. Hostetler said the
200-pound carpet, valued at
$500, was found in the attic of
the home of Jasper M. Holder
in the 600 block of Kennedy
street NV.
Holder was arrested and
charged with larceny in the
theft of the rug May 8 from
the important visitor entrance
of the hotel.
Police said the rug was taken

Recalls 1914 Ceremony
When President Woodrow
Wilson delivered the Naval
Academy commencement adj

the main thing expected of its
graduates was to know how
to handle a ship in a storm
and organize a landing force.
But now Navy officers must
be prepared to make great de-
examinations affecting the very
survival of the country. he
stressed.
This Nation salutes you as
you commence your service to
your country in the hazardous
days ahead" the President
concluded.
The President, flying from
the south lawn of the White

Red Drive i'm Laos Rocks Geneva
PadongFaI|s,

Talks Suspend
Blutont Violation
Of Truce Charged
In AII-Out Assault
BY the Associated Press


The Laos strongpoint of Pa
dong fell today under an all
out assault by pro-Communist
rebels supported by heavy ar
tillery. The tiny mountain vii
lage had been a symbol of gov
ernment resistance - and of
rebel violation of the cease fire
proclaimed five weeks ago.
An American military adviser
messaged from the front that
the Pathet Lao rebels laid down
an extremely heavy" barrage
and then attacked with in
fantry.
The fall of Padong, al
though expected by some,
shocked Western delegates at
the East West conference on
Laos being held in Geneva.
They called off today's meet
ing of the 14-nation conference
and called their capitals for
instructions whether to contin-
ue the talks. One spoke strong
ly of Soviet hypocrisy" A
State Department spokesman
said, however, that the United
States would not quit the con-
ference.
President Kennedy told the
American people only last night
that Soviet Premier Khrush-
chev had agreed with him at
Vienna on the Importance of an
effective cease fire in Laos. So
far the Russians have opposed
Western efforts to give the
International Control Commits
sion in Laos power to make the
truce effective.
Violation Called Blatant
The United States delegates
to the Geneva talks, w. Averell
Hartman, Immediately accused
the Communist forces of "bla-
tant violation of the cease fire"
And in Washington State De-
partment officials said they
viewed the fall of Padong as
"a serious development.
Padong had been considered
a symbol of the Laotian gov
ernment's resistance to the
Communist advance. p
State Department Press Of
ficer Joseph w. Reap told a
news conference here:
1--WE are aware of recent seri-
GUS developments, including the
fall of Padong, and our experts
are now consulting"
High-ranking officials said
the State Department considers
the fall of Padong an unmis-
taxable sign of Communist bad
faith and a deliberate, uncon-
cealed flouting of the cease
fire agreement.
Stronghold Falls
Rebel riflemen supported by
heavy artillery drove Royal
Army troops and Meo tribal
fighters from the Padong
mountain base 20 miles south
west of the rebel headquarters
at Xieng Khouang.
Angered Western delegates to
the 14-nation Geneva parley
called off today's scheduled
session. They cabled their
capitals for instructions on
whether there was any point in
continuing in view of this
major violation of the truce
proclaimed May 3 and violated
repedGcUly.
The British delegation issued
a statement recalling it had
agreed to attend the con-
ference on the clear under
standing that there would be
an effective cease fire through
out the negotiations"
No date was set for another
session of the conference,
which opened May 16 and
quickly deadlocked. The West
demanded that truce teams of
the three-nation International
Control Commission be given
greater powers. The Commu-

he added with a grin that his
rapid rise from a reserve lieu
tenant to Commander Chief
was because I didn't follow
that advice"
With the free world under
siege by "a state committed to
the destruction of liberal civili-
zation," he said what is ex-
pected of Americas military Of
ficers today is far different
from what it was a few decades
ago.
Responsibilities Growing
The revolution in the tech
nology of war, he added, de-
mands judgments and RESPONSE
bilities that go far beyond tao
tics and strategy.
He warned the young men
that they must understand the
limits of military power as we'll
as know all they can about
military power.
During the "long, slow strug-
gle" ahead in meeting the Com
munist challenge, the President
went on, the young men gradu-

need for Americas foreign aid
program to save less developed
countries from communism.
Five times in his television
report to the Nation last night,
Mr.. Kennedy used the word
sober" or "somber" in describ-
ing his talks with the Soviet
Premier in Vienna last Satur-
day and Sunday.
THE somber mood that they
conveyed was not cause for ella
ton or relaxation nor was it
cause for undue pessimism or
fear" he summed UP.
Briefs Legislators
The President spoke earn
estly and partly without text
as he recounted the high spots
Of his 9,120-mile trip to Europe
from which he returned yester-
day morning. During the after
noon, before going on the air
at z pm, he spent ~ hours
briefing congressional leaders
Of both parties at the White
House.
He said a serious blow" was
dealt his hopes for an agree
ment banning nuclear tests and
slowing down the arms race.
He reported Mr.. Khrushchev
said the negotiations for a test
ban appear futile. He indicated
after his televiSion report there
would more news on this sub
ject soon.
His most somber" talks with
Mr.. KhruShchev concerned
Berlin. the President said with
out going into detail. He en-
.phasized that he made clear to
the Soviet Premier that we are
determined to maintain access
rights to West Berlin "at any
risk" He said there will be fur
ther communications" about
Berlin.
No Secret Deals
To any who might suspect
secret deals, Mr.. Kennedy said:
mo advantage or concession
was either gained or given;
no major decision was either
planned or taken. No new
aims were stated in private
that have not been stated in
public on either side"
Mr.. Kennedy reported that
Laos was the one area touched
upon in his talks with Mr..
Khrushchev that afforded
some immediate prospect of ac-
cord"

Senate Democrats
Expect Quick OK
By ]. A. O'LEARY
Star Staff Writer

Democratic leaders were con-
fident today of. passing the
$40 billion omnibus housing
bill without substantial change
as the Senate prepared to start
voting on the measure.
The Senate met today with
a limitation on debate that is
expected to bring final passage
late this evening or tomorrow.
Although the bill obligates
nearly SIS billion over a period
of years. the impact on the
1862 budget will be only $122
million of additional spending.
Attached TO the bill is a
separate authorization of $1.2
billion for direct housing loans
to war veterans over several
years. OF this amount, $500
million would be spent next
year. These veterans loans
probably will be dropped from
the general bill before it goes
through the House, and passed
as a separate law.
Sees Fight on 2 Issues
Senator Sparkman, Democrat
of Alabama, who is handling
the measure for the admins
tration, said he expects the
opposition to center its attack
on two new features recon-
mended by President Kennedy
These are:
Authority to experiment with
40-year mortgages and no
down payments to stimulate
the building of more homes
within the means of moderate
income families.
Expansion of the FHA-in-
sured home improvement pro &,
gram to cover repair loans up
to a limit of $4,000 for Is
years. Present law limits such
loans to $500 for five years.
Senator ,Capehart, of Indi-
ana, ranking Republican on
the Housing Subcommittee will
lead a fight to scale down both
of these proposals and to mod
