In Laos, the warning factions

the frontline village of Hin
Heup that negotiators for the
royal army and the Pro-Com-

for a second time to agree even
on a site where permanent del
egations will meet.
Negotiators talked for 78
minutes in two tents, made of
red and white parachutes, set
up on the north bank of the
Nam Lik River at Hin Heup, 55
miles north of Vientiane.
Insisting on Cease Fire
Royal officers said future
meetings should be held in Hin
Heup. The rebels prefer Ban
Namone, a village 5 miles north
and nearer rebel territory. The
negotiators reached an impaSSe
Friday on the same issue.

Doctrine Criticized

Political activity is certainly
contemplated among American
paramilitary experts. A memo
circulated in the Pentagon last
month by 1t. Gen. Arthur G
Trudeau pointed out that Amer
lean paramilitary doctrine was
Sterile" in that it did not
match the Communists in COM
bining military and political
action.
"The United States still
maintains a wall of separation
between politics and the mill
tary," the memo said. This is
fine for our domestic problems,
but it does not work against
Communist-supported guerrillas
where political and military
action are one"
1t is assumed in the Pentagon
that the memo was circulated
with the blessing of the White
House.
The memo pointed out that
the Philippine Army was most
successful against Red paramil-
itary operations when it "un-
dertook civic action programs
designed to win over the viii
layers"
I'VE must find a way to over
throw a Communist regime in

Mansfield to try to place before

Mansfield promised to make

Sea Drill Cutting Path to Timer Space

SAN DIEGO, Calf. Mar. 10
(AP).-The first step in the
exploration Of Inner space"
has been taken and scholars,
who have wondered for years
what's inside the world. may
learn how life began and how
the earth itself came into being.
The project is operation Mo-
hole and is being conducted off
the coast of Southern Cali
fornia.
The first step yesterday was
the lowering of more than 5000
feet Of drill pipe to the ocean
bottom, then drilling a few feet
into the sediment. Operations
are conducted from a special
drilling ship.
Cores punched from the
ocean bottom will be Of great
interest to scientists. The
material comes from a kind Of
earth layer, never more than
specifically penetrated, which
may have been this worlds sur
face a billion or so years ago.
Getting samples from that
level will take several years,
several million dollars and con-
siderable experimentation.
Late drilling will be in deeper
water-12,000 feet and more
off the coast of North America.
II the tests succeed fully
reaching the original surface
where life began 49, scientists
may uncover the course Of the
evolution of life, age by age.
The core material is believed to
be a very hard kind Of rock 31a
to 10 miles below the top crust.
Previous drilling at sea has
been done through shallow
water about 400 feet deep.
