Sailor Lost in Subway
Fights Deportation

Under immigration laws, a de-
ported person can go to any
country he wishes, if it accepts
him. Mr.. Teo, who had Dutch
seaman's papers, chose the
Netherlands.
Neither he nor American Of
ficialS suggested he should go
back to his homeland Com
munist China. He told them he
fears persecution" there.
Mr.. Teo's choice of the Meth
erlands was all right with the
immigration Service. It was
also all right with the Dutch.
But then a hitch developed.
David Carliner, Washington
attorney representing Mr.. Teo,
learned that the Netherlands
would accept Mr.. Teo only
temporarily and that the gov
ernment intended to send him
on to Singapore. Mr.. Carliner
learned from Singapore Off
cials that Mr.. Teo would not be
allowed entry there.
He filed suit in District Court
to stop deportation proceedings.
He lost the case in January.
Mr.. Carliner then filed an
appeal, which will be heard by
the United States Court OF
Appeals on May %.

A young Chinese seaman
claims he may become a man
without a country. all because
he got lost on a New York
subway.
Teo Chat Tam, 26, says that
if the United States Immigra-
ton Service deports him to
the Netherlands, he will have
Ito sail the seven seas end
lessly."
This is his story, according
to papers filed in District Court
here:
Mr.. Teo, who originally
comes from the Chinese main
land, landed in New York in
August, 1858, as a crewman
on a Dutch ship. The day after
his ship docked, he went off
sightseeing. Later that day, the
ship sailed without him.
New York is a big place. I
got on the subway. I just got
lost" Mr.. Teo later told Immi-
grafton officials who wanted to
know why he had overstayed
his leave.
Because he was in this coun-
try illegally, the immigration
Service ordered him deported.

Spider Monkeys at Zoo Will Get
Island Home in Wi|d-FowI Pond

eter. 1t will be equipped with
trees for climbing and a new
wooden shed to keep the little
fellows warm and dry in Wash
ington'S changeable weather.
The island, of course, is al
ready there. 1t is presently in
habited on a part-time basis
by ducks, geese, pelicans and
other feathered denizens of
the Zoo.
DR.. Reed believes the fowl
population of the pond will
give the monkeys a wide berth
once the simianS are installed.
The monkeys, for their part,
are not expected to bother the
birds, barring a possible initial
encounter.
The spider monkeys or capu-
chinS-Dr. Reed hasn't decided
which-will be kept on their
island by the surrounding wa
ter. The pond reaches a depth
of about 6 feet around the
islet. Neither variety of mon
key is considered much for
swimming. In fact, both types
are arboreal, which means
they hardly ever come down
out of the trees.
Naturally, Monkey Island
will be inhabited only during
the summer months, DR.. Reed
pointed out.

Losing Cancer Fight

HOLLYWOOD, May 13 (AP).
Gary Cooper died today of
cancer after q deathbed fight
that rivaled in courage the
heroic roles he played in 35
years in motion pictures.
The tall, silent screen hero
was so a few days ago.
He had fingered at deaths
door for days and was heavily
drugged to ease the pain that
racked his once-powerful, g.
foot-3-inch body.
He died at 1927 pm, Pa
cific daylight time.
At Mr.. Cooper's side when he
died were his wife, Rocky, his
daughter, Maria, and his ply
sician. The Right Rev. Msgr.
Daniel Sullivan, a longtime
friend of Mr.. Cooper's, was
nearby.
Msgr. Sullivan said Mr..
Cooper had been unconscious
all day and died while sleeping
peacefully under sedation.
He said the wife and daugh-
ter took the death calmly. He
said Mrs. Cooper had known
since last December that her
husband could never get well.
Both doctor and priest
praised the actors courage.

his name not be used-Said Mr..
Cooper was near death several

Roadblocks to effective crime

early release Of criminals-will
be the main targets Of this
weeks hearings into Washing
tons current crime wave.
Chairman Davis Of the House
District Subcommittee which

Wednesday made it plain that
the Capitol hearings will cover
the whole field Of crime and
punishment here.
He disclosed that he plans to
reintroduce, before the hear
ings, two bills aimed at clari-
flying controversial court de-
cisions dealing with confessions
and the insanity defense. Both
measures, he said, would go a
long way toward remedying the
city's present crime problems.
If necessary, he said, he
wants to spotlight inadequate
sentences and the fact that
criminals and thugs are being
released too soon through pro-
baton and parole"

lying in their accusations that
the United States was trying to
sabotage the conference.
British Foreign Secretary
Lord Home, still hopefully seek
ing a compromise that would
get the conference into session
on Monday, had a blunt ex-
change in a private meeting
with Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko.
Charges Sting Rusk
He told Mr.. Gromyko a way
must be found to get the con-
ference started soon or the for
eign ministers gathered here
would look ridiculous.
Mr.. RuSk obviously was stung
by the charges Of a spokesman
for Red China's foreign min
lister, Marshal Chen vi, that the
conference troubles all could be
laid at the doorstep of the
United States.
Lord Home was reported,
however, to have got along we'll
with the Chinese foreign min
lister in another of the feverish
diplomatic exchanges here to-
day.
British officials described
Chen as in a philosophical"
mood and said he conducted
himself in a calm, polite and
restrained" manner.
Cease-Fire Supervision
Even if the deadlock over
Laos representation were re-
solved, another obstacle loomed.
There were indications that
talks might begin in Geneva on
military questions involving
supervision of the cease fire in
Laos even before the conference
is formally inaugurated.
American sources did not
deny this possibility.
The foreign ministers failed
for the second day to get the
conference under way when
Mr.. Rusk rejected Soviet de-
mandS for full government
status of the Communicated
Pathet Lao at the conference
table.
On the opposite side of the
world, however, the Laotians
themselves took one small step
toward sorting out differences
that have blocked the forma-
ton of coalition government
and a single delegation to rep
resent the country here.
Mr.. Rusk'S position is that
the Pathet Lao cannot be ad-
mitted on an equal basis with
the pro-Western royal govern
ment of Premier Boun Gum
because it is not even recog-
nized as a government by the
Communist bloc.
Ridiculous" Says RuSk
The notion that we are
sabotaging this conference is
ridiculous" Secretary Rusk told
neWSmen.

u. S. Stand
At PurIey
Called Weak
BY CROSBY S. MOVES
Foreign Correspondent Of The Star

SoEelBn NOEEeSpOnuenI VI 4n0 Guar
GENEVA, May IS. - The
painful weakness of the United
States position at this con-
ference on the fate of Laos is
being dramatically illustrated
by a procedural dispute going
on before the conference itself
is formally opened.
The argument involves a
great deal more than just the
question Of who is to represent
the government of Laos at
the conference. It also shows
how the IA nations represented
here can be expected to line
up in the course of the coming
negotiation. And the makeup
Of the Laotian delegation may
well determine the composition
and the political leanings of
the future government of Laos.
This is the reason the Rus
sianS-and the Americans also
have decided to make a capi-
tai issue of what might seem to
be a purely legalistic point.
The Russians have publicly
announced their conditions for
attending the conference:
There must be three equal
delegations from Laos. One
would represent the royal
Laotian government of Prince
Boun Gum. The second would
represent Prince Souvanna
Phouman, who is recognized by
the Communist powers as the
legal" head of the government
Of Laos. The third would repre-
sent the Communicated Pathet
Lao rebels, whose forces now
occupy about half of Laos.
q. S. Rejects Red Terms
The Laotian triumvirate, ac-
cording to the Russian terms,
would all be present at the
conference table with full rights
to take part in the discussions.
BY Communist logic this would
provide q classic and necessary
balance between the contending
parties in the Laotian dispute.
The Americans, somewhat
less publicly but no less firmly,
have rejected these Commu-
mist conditions for the confer
ence. The invitations to come
to Geneva, they argue. were
sent to governments. The
Pathet Lao is not recognized
by anyone as the rightful gov
ernment of Laos. It is not even
a political party, but simply
an armed gorup of insurgents
supported by outside aid.
The American delegation,
therefore, refuses to accept the
Pathet Lao on the basis of
equality with the royal Lao
government. It would prefer,
Of course, to have only the
royal Lao government seated
at conference table. But since
this is obviously unrealiStic, a
series of possible compromises
have been suggested in meet
ingS Of Western leaders dur
ing last two days.
Sit In as observers"
These include the possibility
Of having both the royal Lao
government and Souvanna

Johnson Visit
Raises Hopes
OfFormosans
Outer Mongolia
Seen as Subject
Of Disagreement

TAIPEI, Formosa, Sunday,
May IA (AP).-ChineSe Ma
tionaliSt officials confidently
expect closer cooperation with
the United States to result from
Vice President Johnson's visit
here today.
AS Taipei bustled with Rep-
arationS for Mr.. JohnSon'S ar
rival from Manila, there ap-
pears to be, however, the posi-
bility of disagreement on Outer
Mongolia.
The United States repeatedly
would like to recognize that
territory sandwiched between
Red China and the Soviet
Union and see it admitted to
the United Nations.
In 1945, Chang -Shek's
government, then master of the
Chinese mainland, agreed with
the Soviet Union that a plebis-
cite should be held in Outer
Mongolia. The Outer Mongo-
lianS chose independence by a
nearly 100 per cent vote, but
the Soviet Unions domination
of the land continued.
President Chiang'S govern
ment later denounced its agree
ment with the Soviet Union.
and since has strongly resisted
moves to grant Outer Mongolia
U. N. membership. President
Chang considers Outer Mon
golia part of his China.
Weak Basis Seen
President Kennedy's admin
iStration is reported to believe
Nationalist China's stand has
a weak legal basis. But senti-
ment in Taipei is that Mr..
johnson will fail to change
President Chiang's mind, if he
attempts to.
It is seriously doubted Mr..
johnson will touch on the
question of a possible National
iSt withdrawal from the off
shore islands.
Nor is it considered likely he
will bring up any such question
as the creation of two Chinas-
unthinkable alike to the Com
muniStS and the Nationalist
or any other change in the
status of President Chiang's
administration.
Any such topics would be
considered by the Nationalists
to be incompatible with assur-
ances Mr.. johnson is making
to on-Communist Asian lead
ers of continued United States
support.
Mr.. johnson, in fact, is ex-
pected to sound out President
Chiang's views on the best
methods of arresting any fur
ther advance by communism
in Asia.
Alert for Smelling
President Chang has had
longer experience in fighting
communism than any other
head Of government. He start
ed in 1927.
Quemoy Island defenders
were on the alert for any major
Communist bombardment in
protest against Mr.. Johnson's
