issued to the Control Commits
sion so it can get out in the
field to observe the truce.
The American Secretary,
speaking at the second confer
ence session, declared:
Information from Laos indi-
Gates that rebel forces continue
to attack in a number Of local
tiles and that rebel troop move
ments are occurring which are
Iprejudicial to an effective
cease fire"
After considerable diplomatic
dickering, the conference final
ly opened yesterday on the
basis Of a report from the truce
commission that in general
| fighting had ceased between
the Pathet Lao and the pro-
Western Royal Laotian forces
of Premier Boun Gum. The
commission reported at that
time, however, that local flare
ups were occurring and could
not be prevented.
Neutralist Speaks
During the afternoon session
QUINN PholSena, delegate Of
the self-styled neutralist group
allied with the Pathet Lao,
made his first conference
speech.
He demanded that the West
disband the Southeast Asia
Treaty Organization. This
echoed the speech made at
the conference yesterday by
Red Chinese Foreign Minister
Chen vi.
Mr.. Pholsena also demanded
that the United States stop
sending military supplies to the
royal Laotian government. He
made no mention of the fact
that the Soviet Union has been
supplying the Pathet Lao.
Mr., PholSena charged that
the downfall of neutralist Prince
Souvanna Phouma as Premier
Of the Laotian government in
December was "the direct re-
suit Of action by the United
States Central Intelligence
Agency and the Pentagon."
The Communists still recognize
Prince Souvanna as the legal
Premier Of Laos.
The American Secretary said
the most serious cease fire vi
olations are taking place in the
Padong area near Xieng
Khouang. the rebel capital.

ing daily attacks on Padong.

I'VE do not believe" said Mr.

properly constituted without
due provision for the delegation
Of the constitutional govern
ment of Laos

backed British Foreign Secre'
tary Lord Homes four-point
proposal yesterday for a neutra
Laos and put forward his owr
three-point program which
closely paralleled the British
proposal.
One fresh point Mr.. Rusk
made was that economic and
technical aid to Laos should be
administered by neutral ma
tons from the area"-meaning
Cambodia and Burma-and
that it should be supported "by
contributions from many states
and agencies"
I'VE do not believe that a
neutral Laos should become a

through foreign aid programs
on a national or bloc basis" ("
Mr.. Rusk declared.
The United States Secretary
Endorsed Lord Homes call for
an embargo on arms shipment
into Laos and said all foreign
military personnel should be
withdrawn from both sides. He
stressed that this meant the
North Wet Nam elements with
the Pathet Lao as well as the
American military advisers to
the royal government.
I'VE have no desire to send
military equipment into Laos if
international arrangements can

Canadian Foreign Minister

the conference to lay down

insisted that the commission

Senate debate on aid to ed.
ucation shifted today to the
segregation issue, with uncon-
firmed reports circulating that
the administration is willing tc
accept an amendment that
would bar Withholding of funds
from States for any reason.
Senate Majority Leader
Mansfield and others close tc
the strategy talks said. how
ever, they knew Of no such
agreement.
The reports were based in
part, on a speech prepared for
delivery by Senator Talmadge,
Democrat of Georgia, pledging
support to the bill if it is
amended to prohibit the with
holding Of funds.
Withdrawing Rider
The Georgia Senator had
prepared an amendment to this
effect, but he said he was with
drawing it because another
Senator would offer a similar
proposal.
The other lawmaker was un-
officially identified as Senator
Metcalf, Democrat Of Montana,
long a backer of Federal aid.
Senator Metcalf told a re-
porter that I'm not sure, "
about sponsoring such a move.
The purpose of the amend
ment would be to assure
Southern Congressman that
funds authorized by the school
aid bill would not be withheld
from their States because Of
segregated schools.
1t is couched in broad terms,
however. and makes no spe-
cific reference to segregation.
Seen as Test
In his prepared speech, Sen
ator Talmadge, said the amend
ment will serve as a test Of
the sincerity of all those who
say they want to advance the
cause Of education with this
bill.
Its rejection" he warned,
could be interpreted as no less
than a declaration that this is
a bill which aims not to help
education but to control it."

County Supervisor William
H. Moss, the Fairfax repre-.
sentative. the council recon-.
mended approval but suggested
that the staff Of the council
the National Capital Planning
Commission staff and HEW's
own staff, look into the three
Fairfax sites. That, however
is not expected to affect HEW's
choice Of the Montgomery
County location.
Mr.. Moss motion was ap-
parently designed to call to
the attention of Federal au-
thoritieS the fact that metro
politan governing bodies want
the chance to suggest suitable
sites when a Government
facility is being planned.
The Fairfax supervisors
have expressed criticism OF the
Governments actions in the
past in locating new facilities
without consulting local plan
ming government bodies.
Richard H. Kraft, director oi
the Regional Planning Coun-
Gil, said he could not comment
on the councils action, since
selection Of the site was @
matter up to HEW.
| DR.. Robert j. Anderson, as
Sistant surgeon general in the
Public Health Service, who
earlier revealed plans for the
environmental center, said
yesterday he was not aware
that HEW had made a final
selection.
IL Tracts Studied
However. it was learned that
HEW told the Regional Plan.
ming Council last month it had
studied II sites and had settled
on the tract in Montgomery
County as the most suitable.
Local Government officials
were not notified, they con-
tend, and did not even learn
Of the selection until eig hit
days before the April meeting.
The site Is expected to cost
in the neighborhood Of So mil
lion-$5 million.

ficials told the council Monday
they were recommending three
suitable sites, including on e
the Government already owns.
The recommended conSidera-
ton Of a tract on the access
road to Dulles International
Airport. one in the Lorton area
and a third in the Hybla Valley
area Of the county. The latter
is on land owned by the Federal
Public Roads Administration,
Fairfax officials said.
The Regional Planning Coun-
Gil acted on Monday because
HEW officials said they wanted
q decision that day, it was
learned.
Under the law, suggested
sites must be considered by the
regional council, but 1t is not
clear whether the council may
veto tracts or suggest others.
The site near Rockville meets
standards set up by the council
concerning water, sewers, access
and drainage.
The next step is for the HEW
to obtain approval of the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission. and after that 1t can
go to Congress with a request
for funds.
Mr.. Moss said yesterday he
would take up the matter with
Fairfax supervisors and deter
mine what they want to dc

ignored local governing bodies

Gagarin Orbit
Doubt Grows
BY the Associated Press

Air Force 1t. Col. John
Shorty Powers. press officer
for the Mercury astronaut

doubts that Yuri Gagarin was
aboard the first manned Soviet
craft to orbit the earth.
Col. Powers told a Sigma

the Soviets did have a man
aboard the craft. .
Col. Powers added that there
was less reason to doubt that
Cherman Titov was aboard the
second orbital space ship. and
it was believed likely that he
performed as planned.

Questioned at the journalism

declined to 60 into detail on
the reasoning regarding Maj,
Gagarin.
He said all the indications
are that the Soviets did orbit
the vehicle at the time and
under the circumstances they
claimed.
I'VE still don't have evidence
Of how Gagarin came down.
Col. Powers said.
I'VE have some question
whether it was Gagarin or not.
There have been so many in
consistencies in the reports by
Gagarin, in connection with
program details. as to lend
doubt as to whether he was the
guy who went into orbit.
There is no doubt, however,
that they made the flights"
