NEWPORT, KY, May 90
(AP).-Charges against George
Ratterman, reform candidate
for sheriff of Campbell Coun-
ty, were thrown out of court
today after the defense pro-
duced surprise testimony by a
commercial photographer.
The key testimony by Thom-
as Withrow was that a man
with an interest in the Glenn
Hotel where Mr.. Ratterman
was arrested asked the pho
tographer on April IA to be
ready to take picture Of a
man and a woman under un-
usual circumstances.
Judge Joseph Rolf agreed to
dismiss the charges against
Mr.. Ratterman at the request
of prosecutor Thomas Hirsch-
field, who said he had no ad-
vance knowledge the photog-
rapher would testify.
Mr.. Ratterman, former pro
football player. was charged
with breach of the peace, re-
siSting arrest and disorderly
conduct after a vice raid in a
Glenn Hotel room early last
May 9 in which he was arrest
ed with a strip tease dancer.
He said he was drugged and
framed.
Mr.. Hirschfeld said that
had he known of the Withrow
connection in the case, there
probably wouldn't have been
any prosecution whatsoever"

Agreed on Objectives
All delegations appeared
agreed on the objectiveS of the
Laos conference: international
and internal agreement on Lao
tian neutrality supervised by in
ternational machinery, and the
channeling of all aid to rebuild
the nation through interna-
tional facilities. Mr.. Rusk would
like to see the international con-
troll in the hands of the South
east ASians.
The differences come in the
Interpretation and in the kind
of control machinery. Mr.,
Gromyko presented a detailed
proposal Thursday which most
Western delegates considered
loaded with veto traps. At the
same time, the West has been
surprised by the relative mod
Grafton of the Soviet delegate
so far. They see the Russian
position at the conference as
that of a middleman between
the West on one side and the
Red Chinese and Wet Namese
radicals on the other.
The Laos conference, like the
neighboring meetings on nu-
clear test bans, is expected to
continue operating under the
shadow of the Forthcoming
meeting between President
Kennedy and Premier Khrush-
chev in Vienna June 3-4. Dip
lomats here are expected to
mark time until afterward.
Arthur Dean. head of the
United States delegation to the
deadlocked nuclear talks, left
Geneva shortly after Mr.. Rusk
to report to President Ken
nedy. The nuclear talks are
expected to be raised by Pres
ident Kennedy in his meeting

neared the end of the first
phase of its work-preliminary
statements of policy by all dele
cations. Foreign ministers Of
Burma, Cambodia and Poland
present their cases Monday,
with Thailand winding up
Tuesday.
The conference began with
a 6-Western, 5-EaStern and
3-neutral lineup. The Eastern
and Western blocS remained
unchanged today but many
delegates express belief the
three neutrals, Burma, Cambo-
dia and India, were consider
ably more friendly toward the
United States as result Of Mr.
Rusk's work at his first East
West conference.
Rusk Makes Friends
The tall, unaSSuming. always
smiling secretary made friends
in the council chamber at the
Palace of Nations and in pri-
-vate talks.
India's defense minister, the
usually fiery V. K. Krishna
;Menon, was reported especially
impressed. "He's a man you can
talk to-" Mr.. Menon was quoted
as saying after a private meet
ing.
Diplomats said Mr.. Rusk had
reason for losing his temper
at the start of the conference
when Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei A. Gromyko abruptly
demanded the seating of Laos
pro-Communist Pathet Lao
rebels.
It turned out Britain's for
eign secretary, Lord Home, un-
Willingly had given Mr.. Gro
myko the go-ahead on inviting
the Pathet Lao without inform
ing the United States. Faulty
staff work was blamed for the
blunder but there were no pub
lie recriminations from Mr..
Rusk, and the neutrals as well
as Americas allies appreciated
it.
Reply to Reds Praised
Neutrals also liked Mr.. Rusk's
handling of the anti-United
States abuse by Chinese Com
munists, Pathet Lao and Red
Wet Namese.
OF the Chinese attack, Mr..
Rusk merely said in a speech he
had Listened with interest to
the remarks of the representa-
tive from Peiping. He made
certain statements about the
United States which were not
true and not new. We have
heard them before. Indeed, I
rather thought that his state
ment of them on this occasion
was less violent than the Ian
guage to which we have become
accustomed"
Prince Norodom Sihanouk,
u
Cambodian chief OF state who
formally opened the confers

Mr.. Rusk's speak calmly-but-

had several private talks with
