Geneva Talks
On Laos Issue
Still Stalled

GENEVA, May 20 (AP). -
British and Soviet co-chairmen
of the 14-nation conference on
Laos announced today the
negotiations will stand in recess
for another day or two. The
announcement came as some
thing Of a surprise, since a
British spokesman earlier had
said the talks would resume
today.
There has been no meeting
since last Wednesday.
A British spokesman said
Malcolm Macdonald, head of
the British delegation. asked
for the additional recess, after
a meeting this morning that
lasted almost four hours with
Georghi PuShkin, head Of the
Soviet delegation.
Presumably they were dead
locked on the key issue Of send
ing new instructions to the In
ternational Control Commits
sion truce teams supervising
the spotty ceasefire in Laos.
New Instructions Sought
The British spokesman said
there was no sign Of agreement
yet on whether to respond to a
truce commission request for
new instructions from the
Geneva conference co-chair-
men.
Sir Frank Roberts, British
Ambassador in Moscow, is seek
ing Soviet consent to send new
instructions to the Indian-Ca-
madam Polish control commits
sion. The Western powers want
to tell the commission in Laos
specifically to investigate re-
ports of major cease-fire vio-
lations there.
The United States says the
Communist Pathet Lao is
violating the cease fire by con-
tinuing offensive operations
against the pro-Western royal
Laotian government.
In Laos, the contending
forces have appointed repre-
Sentatives to work with the
truce commission on the cease
fire. There was no word to-
day, however. on how well they
are cooperating.
Gains without Fighting
The United States would like
to see a "cease-movement" as
we'll as q more effective cease
fire. In some places, Western
sources say, the pro-Commu-
nists are making considerable
advances without serious fight
ing.
The delegates go back into

same two problems that delayed
them at the start-strengthen-
ing the cease fire and getting

BAN NAMONE, Laos, May
20 (AP).-Truce talks by three
rival Laotian groups made a
modest step forward today with
agreement on agendas for po-
litical and military comittees.
This technical agreement

proper answer to the same in
quiry.
II believe he feels as If he

But concentration on his
KhruShchev and De Gaulle
meetings stripped the day of
any real festive atmosphere.
The First Lady stayed in
Glen Ora, their country estate
near Middleburg, Va, to rest
up for the trip to Europe which
carries them to London next
week end. Attorney General
Robert F. Kennedy, the Presi-
dents brother, was here with
his wife and seven children.
They occupy one of three
homes on the Kennedy's shore
property. The President stayed
with his father, Joseph P. Ken
nedy, in the largest of the
three while his own is being
Irepainted.
Tourists Kept Away
Ted Kennedy, the Presidents
youngest brother, was also on
hand with his wife after re-
turning from a trip to Italy. So
we're his sister, Jean, and her
husband, Stephen Smith.
Mr.. Salinger said there was
no party yesterday, but that
the clan probably would gather
to sing a birthday song some
time today. Mr.. Salinger re-
fused to say how many or what
kind of presents Mr.. Kennedy
received.
Hundreds OF tourists drove
and walked around the neigh
borhood, hoping for a glimpse

necessarily in that order. the
NASA scientific chief said.
Col. Glenn and Capt. Girls
som are the two astronauts
selected with Comdr. Shepard
as the special trainees in the
Mercury program.
Glenn Next in Line
Col. Glenn, who lives at 3683
North Harrison street, Arling-
ton, is widely regarded as the
likeliest candidate for the next
suborbital mission about q
month from now.
DR.. Dryden said an orbital
flight is still possible this year,
but most experts said early
1862 is a more probable time.
The NASA decision to re-
strict the orbital mission to
Redstone riders appears to
leave the other four astronauts
out in the cold, as far as early
glory is concerned. They are
Air Force Maj. Donald K.
Slayton, Navy 1t. Comdr
Walter M. Schirra and Malcolm
Scott Carpenter, and Air Force
Capt. Leroy Gordon Cooper.
All the astronauts are ex-
pected to participate in later
Mercury missions, including
27-hour flights involving 1S
earth orbits. Some may go on
to longer, more complicated
flights in Project Apollo, in
which teams rather than in
dividuals will do orbital flights
and later trips around the
moon and back.
No definite plans have yet
been made for teams which will
land on the moon. It is con-
sidered unlikely that the pres
ent astronauts will take part,
however. If President Ken
nedy's deadline Of late 1869
is met. the youngest of the
seven will then be 43 and the
eldest 48.

close to the situation say the
day of free parking on vacant
lots is nearly over.
With all the new buildings
Government and non-Govern-
ment going up all over town
the number of vacant lots for
parking is shrinking rapidly
And Federal officials say the
situation will get worse, not

More car pools and greater
use of fringe parking space are
some of the remedies sug-

The General Services EN-

more possibilities for improv-
ing the situation.
One is that employe associ-
ations make term contracts
with commercial lot owners
operate the lots and collect
from the members. It says
some of the bigger lot oper-
ators have indicated theil
willingness to enter into such
contracts.

AS the good jobs becam e
harder to find. youths still had
the desire for better things.
They didn't have the advantage
of growing up in a home where
books and music were impor-

much about studying. Soon
they were getting poor marks;
t h en- they dropped out OF
school.

They feel they should get bet

they're not equipped for it
They feel the world owes them
a living.
And they still want to 60
to their parties and have a
big time. At home their parents
find their bills are piling up
and they can't make it. The
next thing you know the kids
are snatching pocketbooks and
rifling a cash register.
Then two or three Of them
talk it over and decide to 60
together and steal. And you'd
be surprised what they do with
that money. They want to
dress nicely, so they'll go in
the best store in the District
and buy the latest clothing
fad. They run down and get
a $35 pair of shoes and a SIC

Nov where are they going
to get that kind of money!"
