that Fidel Castro's militia has
halted all Cuban automobile
and bus traffic into the United

tanamo Bay.
Most of the 5000 Cuban
workers on the base have
reached their jobs in the past
by commercial bus and through
car pools.
The object of the traffic cut
off last Monday apparently was
to harrass American occupancy
of the big base.
AS soon as the Navy learned
that vehicular traffic had been
stopped, all base buses were
pressed into service and the
workers were met at the main
northeast gate and then hauled
to work.
The Navy said all work on

Geneva Talks
On Future Of
Laos Delayed
Unable to Agree
On Delegation
To Be Seated

GENEVA. May IL (AP) -
Foreign ministers of Britain
and the Soviet Union failed to-
day to agree on arrangements
for a 14-nation parley on the
future of Laos and decided to
postpone formal opening of the
conference. It had been sched-
uled to start today.
The British and Russians
cochairmen of the conference
were unable to reach an agree
ment on which delegation
should represent Laos at the
table. The United States had
refused to sit down for the
talks unless this question was
settled.
The United States had ac-
cepted a report from the inter-
national truce commission in
Laos that a cease fire exists.
A spokesman for the Brit
tsh delegation said he still
hoped the conference could
start tomorrow-but even that
is not certain. The official
spoke after Foreign Secretary
Lord Home held an hour-long
conference with Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko.
Activity Behind Scenes
Leadership Of Britain and
the Soviet Union in arrang-
ing the conference stems from
their craftsmanship of the
Geneva conference Of 1854.
That conference sought a live
and-let-live agreement to set
tie a long war in French Indo-
China, Of which Laos was a
part.
Efforts were under way be-
hind the scenes to patch up
difficulties over the representa-
ton of the rival Laotian fac
tions, who have failed at home
to agree among themselves even
where they should meet to
consider q coalition.
Groups representing the
Communicated Pathet Lao
rebels and the neutralistS of
,ex-Premier Prince Souvanna
Phouma are already in Geneva.
The royal government Of
Prince Boun Oum has named
II men to represent it in this
city, and five Of that group
boarded q Europe-bound plane
today at Bangkok, Thailand.
Gromyko Pushes Start

Phoumi Nosavan, was not
among them. The group in

situation would ensue because
Of Mr.. Kirby's large stock

This is nearly $50, 900 shares

With YOUTH;
One Is Shot

A former convict and a 1o-
year-old youth were charged
today in the rape and robbery
of two women in a Brightwood
area speciality store Wednesday
afternoon.
Working hard to head off a
mounting crime wave, sex and
robbery squad detectives first
connected the pair with a dairy
store shooting, then pressed the
more serious charges.
Five rapes and numerous
holdups since Monday have
aroused District and Federal
authorities to the point that a
special House District Com
mittee hearing is scheduled on
Capitol Hill next week.
Assisted by the detective work
Of an off-duty private, police
moved quickly last night to ar
rest Ronald K. Payne, 81 of
the 5000 block of North Capitol
street. Payne is under condi-
tional parole until 1866 for
armed robbery in the District.
Bullet Dug Out of Arm
In Payne's upper right arm
was a cash made when a friend
dug out a bullet which police
said was fired in a gun battle
at Highs Dairy Store, 1882
Trinidad avenue NE, Wednes-
day night.
Capt. Nunzio Bonaccorsy Of
the robbery squad said George
Mcdaniel, SO, Of the 1400 block
of Euclid street NV, admitted
removing the bullet with a
scalpel taken from a physicians
kit.
The kit was in the Highs
robbery getaway car, which po-
lice said was driven by the 16-
year-old juvenile under arrest,
and was stolen from DR.. Mel
vile Fisher of 2737 Devonshire
place NV.
The bullet was removed, Capt.
Bonaccorsy said, at an apart
ment in the 300 block of v
street NV. In the same apart
ment detectives found evidence
used to accuse Payne and the
youth in the Brightwood store
robbery and rapes.
Store Slip Found
Capt. Bonaccorsy said police
recovered there some children's
socks, and a sales ticket with a
price code indicating the socks
we're bought at the Brightwood
store.
Also found were some chill
dren's panties and mems slacks
identified as the stores stock.
Payne has denied everything.
Capt. Bonaccorsy said the
16-year-old at first denied all.
but when shown the garments
from the speciality shop admit
ted everything. This included
the admission that he recog-
nized the store manager and
customer of the Brightwood
store at a police lineup last
night.
The youth said he was about
to leave the store Wednesday
afternoon when he wondered
what had happened to the other
man, identified by him as
Payne, Capt. Bonaccorsy said.
Going to a rear room, he
found the women, both white,
had been stripped of clothing
and that one was being at

All 141 members of the Met

ing School will begin patroling
the streets today in an all-out
effort to combat WaShington's
current wave Of violent crimes.
Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray said all classes at the rookie
school have been suspended un-
til further notice so the young
officers can join the battle
against the recent outbreak of
murder, rape and robbery.
In addition, Chief Murray
disclosed, several hundred de-
tectives and policemen from all
precincts have volunteered to
work one night a week extra,
without compensatory time off
or pay, to put down the surge
Of violence. Sixty men volun-
teered for extra work from one
precinct alone, Chief Murray
said.
Congress Aroused
Meanwhile. aroused by the
crime situation, members of
Congress next week will hold a
public hearing to seek a solu-
ton and consider legislation to
put armed police reservists on
the street with regular patrol
men.
The crime investigation will
be conducted. on a day still to
be set, by a House District sub
committee headed by Repre-
sentative Davis. Democrat of
Georgia. The Davis subcom-
mittee probe, reporters we're
told. will not be an investiga-
ton of the police department
but will be a sounding board for
testimony from officials in all
phases of law enforcement.
Announcement of the in
vestigation came in the wake
of a number of major violent
crimes and another statistical
report Of an increase in the
crime rate
One major law enforce
ment problem, the impact of
the Mallory ruling, is expected
to be investigated.
The Mallory ruling limits the
length Of time that a suspect
may be held by police before
he is arraigned.
