Philippines Reassured
Meanwhile, in Manila, Mr..
Johnson pledged America never
will desert friends who have the
will to survive the threat of
communism. He warned the
Reds are testing this will in
many places.
America will honor her
commitments to the cause OF
freedom throughout the COM
munity of free nations" he told
a joint session Of the Philip
pines Congress. "Our friends
can count on America, and we
know we can count on our
friends-none more than our
old and cherished friends, the
Filipino people"
Later, Philippine President
Carlos P. Garcia, in a toast to
President Kennedy. declared,
Destiny united the United
States and the Philippines in
heroic defense Of freedom and
democracy during the Second
World War.
Destiny will keep us ever
united for the same cause" he
said.
Mr.. Garcia said the Philip
pines looks on Mr.. Johnson's s
tour Of Southeast Asian nations
"as a positive demonstration OF
the unwavering resolution OF
the American government and
people"
Mr.. johnson responded with
the strongest statement he has
made in the Philippines since
arriving:
I'VE will continue to honor
our obligations and will pro-
coed either alone or with our
free world friends to preserve
our position in Asia"
This appeared to answer
Philippine anxieties that the
United States was easing its
commitments in Asia!
Refers to Cuba
In his speech to Congress,
Mr.. johnson told the packed
chamber. Communism is test
ing our good will by many tao
tics in many places"
He mentioned Cuba, where
"a demagogue has turned a
peoples dream of a better life
into a nightmare Of Communist
dictatorship" and South Wet
Nam, where Communist guer-
rillaS hide in the jungles to
strike by night against families
who have chosen freedom"
Mr.. johnson made clear the
United States will not restrict
itself to fighting communism
militarily:
Americans will continue in
the future-even more than in
the past-to march with you
in the war against poverty, IL
literacy, disease and other need
less Affections upon the people.
Americans stand with and
beside Asians in determination
that our mutual cause of peace,
justice and freedom will prevail
will succeed and will win"

support the seating. Of the
Pathet Lao at the conference
table with full rights.
A spokesman for Souvanna's S
Ineutralist delegation said that
only this group had a full legal
right to participate in the
Geneva conference.
But to prove our good will
for a peaceful settlement in
Laos we are also disposed to let
the other two delegations (Boun
Gums group and the Pathet
Lao) participate at the con-
ference with equal rights" the
spokesman said.
The Americans have stressed
that Boun Gums cabinet con-
StituteS the royal Laotian gov
eminent and operates with the
legal blessing Of King Savang
Vathana.
Diplomatic Merry Go Round
1t was a diplomatic merry
go-round in Geneva, with pri-
vate meetings following each
other in quick succession. High
light of the day was the con-
frontation of Secretary Rusk
and Mr.. Gromyko.
The American Secretary and
Mr.. Gromyko met for more
than an hour without solving
the problem of who will repre-
sent Laos at the conference.
Mr.. Rusk had his major allies
Lord Home and Frances
Maurice Couve de Murville-
along with him for support.
1t remained to be seen, how
ever, whether Mr.. Rusk's posi-
ton was being weakened behind
the rebel lines in Laos in a
rt-floored schoolhouse, where
representatives of all three
Laotian factions-the Pathet
Lao rebels, the neutralists and
the royal government-agreed
to order a formal cease-fire
and begin discussions on the
formation of a coalition gov
eminent.
From the Western point oi
view, reports of the meeting
in the Laotian village of Bar
Namone contained one omi-
nous detail-the Pathet Lac
was accorded the same treat

Rival Groups in Laos
Sian Formal ruce

BAN NAMONE, Laos, May 13
(AP).-The warning factions
in LatoS signed a formal cease
fire today and set up political
talks that may help resolve
the EaSt-WeSt tangle on who
will speak for Laos at the
Geneva conference.
The agreement marked at
least a step forward after more
than a week Of haggling while
diplomats in Geneva held back
on negotiations about the po-
litical future Of Laos. The Com
munists and the West are
backing different factions at the
stalled l4-nation conference in
the Swiss city.
Sitting at a U-shaped table
placed on the dirt floor of the
schoolhouSe in this jungle vii
lage. representatives of the pro-
Western government in Vien-
tiane, the Communist backed
Pathet Lao rebels and the re-
bells neutralist political allies
agreed to order all field COM
manders to enforce a strict ban
on all fighting unless attacked
New Meeting Set
They also agreed to meet
here in this rebel-held village
tomorrow to talk. about the
possibility of setting up a coali-
ton government and sending
a unified Laotian delegation to
Geneva to Supersede the three
Laotian groups already there.
Diplomats in Vientiane have
suggested that if all goes we'll

the political talks could develop
INTO top-leVel negotiations with

That would bring together
the three key figures in Laos

Four Of the five rapes were
quickly solved but police are
also faced with four unsolvec

Commissioner Walter N. To.
briner said he had under con.
sideration a proposal to hi,
fellow Commissioners to ask
the universities here to under

Scope of Study
The study, he said, would &c

crime and poor housing, lack Of
job opportunities, unstable liv.

changes of schools, lack of birth

relationship to illegitimacy anc

Mr.. Tobriner also said he haC

Crime Up 9 Per Cent
Asked for a current assess

CONFER ENCE

Soviet Union had injected a
new element by insisting on
the representation of the Pathet
Lao.
1T is absurd for them (the
COmmunists) to suppose that
anyone not accepting their
thesis is dragging his feet.
1T is utterly false to say that
we are interfering in the in
ternal affairs of Laos.
1--WE have aided in assisting
Laos in agreement with sue
cessive governments"
Disputes Reds Claim
The American secretary de-
scribed as a fiction the claim
that the Pathet Lao rebels con-
trolled two-thirds of Laos. He
added that the Pathet Lao had
sent troops down two roads
"but there is an awful lot OF
territory not under their con-
troll"
A Chinese Communist spokes-
man claimed Prince Souvanns
Phouma. a former premier who
claims to be a neutralist, heads
the only legal government in
Laos. The spokesman said the
cabinet of Boun Gum, sup
ported by the United States
has no legitimate basis.
But even the Chinese Com.
munists did not maintain that
Pathet Lao constituted a gov.
eminent. They described these
rebels as constituting IAN i'm.

three-nation international Con-
troll Commission, which had
already reported earlier to
Geneva that a cease fire was
in effect.
Pheng Is Chairman
The chairman Of the confer
ence was Pheng Phongsavan,
former president of the Ma
tional Assembly and head of
Prince Souvanna's neutralist
delegation.
Mr.. Pheng and his delegation
sat at the head Of the table.
with representatives Of the
Pathet Lao and the government
ranged on either side.
They took their place in the
center in keeping with Prince
Souvanna's contention that he
still is entitled to govern Laos.
despite the fact that King Sa-
wang Vathana recognized the
present Vientiane government
as legal after it's troops chased
Prince Souvanna into exile last
December. The neutralist prince
recently has made his head
quarters in rebel-held territory.
During one break in the talks,
Mr.. Pheng called over newSmen
and said he considered himself
as a mediator from the only
legal government.
Il am a neutralist trying to
make peace between right and
left" he said. This left no doubt
he expects the political talks
to lead to a coalition headed by
Prince Souvanna. With his
Communist allies, Prince Sou
wanna thus finds himself in an
undoubted position of strength.
Violations Noted
The cease-fire agreement
noted that all sides ordered the
fighting stopped on May 3 but
that there were certain viola
tions in certain places"
1t said that Ito give the
cease fire a firmer character"
orders would be sent to all COM
manding officers on all fronts
to enforce it.
This still does not settle the
touchy questions Of actual
cease fire lines or what will
happen in pockets Of strong
guerrilla activity behind enemy
lines. These will presumably
come up at the political talks.
Chairman Samar Sen Of India
and other top officials have
been invited.
Some members Of the gov
ernment's delegation already
have left Vientiane for the Ge-
neva meeting. But Gen. Phoumi
and other top members have
been waiting in the capital
pending developments.
Gen. Phoumi has shown a
particular interest in holding a
Laotian summit meeting. He
proposed on Thursday that he
and other two top leaders meet
in Phnom PENN, Cambodia. This
was politely turned down by
Prince Souvanna, an informed
source said.
Atmosphere Friendly
Two American-piloted hell
copters with white banners flew
the governments delegation,
commission men and Western
correspondents here over jungle
mountains from Vientiane.
Welcome arches and smiles
greeted commission members. A
few Pathet Lao guards carried
Chinese and Russians, but the
atmosphere was extremely
friendly. Members Of the vari-
Gus Laotian delegations chatted
and laughed like old friends,
which many of them are.
The governments political
Representatives were assembly
deputies Ou Voravong and
Thong Sing, plus a six-man
military group.
The Pathet Lao delegation
was led by Nouhak Phoum-
savan, No. 3 man in Pathet
Lao.
The royal government is ex-
pected to upgrade its political
side for the political talks.

Those 90 to 100 migratory
workers who follow the winter
golfing trail from Los Angeles
through the South have now been
at each other for five cons ecutive
weeks. AS always, it is fascina-
ting at this stage to try to handi
cap some of the newer faces who
may soon join the front ranks.
One such, although at the age
of 81 he can hardly be rated a
neophyte, is Charlie Sifford.
When he won the Long Beach Open
in 1857 he was the first Negro
ever to do so in a PEA event.
A roly poly fellow in a peaked
golf cap, Sifford trudges along the
fairwayS with burned-out cigar
stub inhis mouth, for all the world
as if he were playing just for
kicks with his friends. Yet last
year he won nearly $l4. 900, al
most SO, 900 of it on the PGA tour.
And there's the rub for Sifford.
Once the tour leaves Arizona and
pushes into the South, he has to
leave it, and he can't rejoin the
pros until they get back above
the color line.
Since he is no crusader of the
Jackie Robins on stripe. Sifford
has suffered more than eight
years of semisegregation with
out blowing his top.
1t is probably too late in his
career for Sifford to expect to
challenge the top golfers on the
circuit, but this year he has done
except onally we'll in the four
tournaments he has entered. He
turned in some fine early rounds
at San Diego and San Francisco,
and if the burden he has to carry
is not too heavy he might very
well win one of the big ones.
