Minor Point
About Laos

GENEVA, June IL (AP).-
A minor concession from the
Russians brought Western ma
tionS back to the 14-nation con-
ference on Laos today but Thai
lands delegate walked out and
announced later he would not
return until the matter of seat
ing Laotian factions is re.
arranged to Thai satisfaction.
1--WE cannot sit while the
conference is discussing sub
stantive matters, until ths
question of seating Laos is set
tied, said a spokesman for the
Thai Foreign Ministry.
Ambassador Direk Jayanama,
the Thai delegate, took a walk
after declaring that if such q
nongovernmental group as the
Communicated Pathet Lao can
sit at the conference table then
other political factions also
should be seated, such as anti
government groups in
Vientiane.
Thailand View
The proposal first was pre-
Sented when the conference
opened but no action was taken
on the point then. The Thai
idea is that if nongovernmental
groups leaning to the left are
seated, there should be an even
ing up by seating nongovern-
mental groups from Vientiane,
either for or against the royal
government, but presumably
pro- Western.
Mr.. Jayanama was gaveled to
order several times by British
Foreign Secretary Lord Home
and drew fire from Soviet For
eign Minister Andre Gromyko
after his presentation today.
But United States Ambassador
w. Averell Hartman supported
the Thai delegate and said he
thought the point raised should
be discussed soon.
The International Control
Commission also reported IL

tionS in Laos to get truce teamn

previously had refused, but ons

New Appeal Planned
The Russians agreed to Join
the British in another appeal
to the warning factions to stop

mission. The Russians and
British, who are co-chairmen
Of the conference, made a SINH
lar appeal April "a. before the
cease fire was proclaimed.
The Western nations also had
been urging the Communist
side to send new and sitter in
structionS to the commission,
but nothing was said about this
today and presumably the de-
mand was abandoned at Soviet
inSiStence.
Mr.. Hartman, the chief
United States delegate, told to-
days session, the first since
last Wednesday,, that he would
bring any new truce violation
before the conference.
Mr.. Hartman read into the
record a commission report say
ing the three-nation truce or
ganization expected to make
the first of a series of visits to
sensitive areas today.
"The commission has been
deeply perturbed and con-
cerned," the report said, about

GOVERNOR CoNFERS ON PLANS FOR
v. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

A program for community improvement will be prepared
for the Virgin Islands, Governor Ralph NJ. PaieWonsky an
nounced today. During the course Of a conference held at
Government House on Thursday this week with Eiseo Font,
Regional Administrator, Housing and Home Finance Admin
istration, and other Federal and Local Government officials,
it was emphasized that such a plan is a prerequisite to the
Virgin Islands receiving benefits under the Housing Act OF
1861.
, 1961-09-22

There is a blueprint for CO
ordinated action without
which no community can
achieve the detectives of de-
cent housing in sound neigh
borhoods for all its people. The
action to be taken and the time
schedule for progress are what
the program sets forth. In the
process of developing its pro-
gram, a community examines
its total problems Of slums and
blight, evaluates what has
been done to meet the prob
lens, determines what must
still be done, and works out a
program and a schedule for
doing it.
Valdemar A. Hall, Special
Assistant to the Governor for
Housing, has been assigned to
prepare this plan, correlating
the data from various perth
nent Government agencies. It
is expected that a preliminary
plan will be ready by January,
1862, for submission to the
Housing and Home Finance
Administration.

Alexander Humilton
High School Begins
Second Year in C'sted

OO@O44A AOA4 = 0kGA
The Alexander Hamilton
School has begun its second
year as St. Croix's only indie
pendent high school. Located
this year in Christiansted in
the building formerly used as
The Jungle Casino, it has a
student body of fourteen and
a faculty Of five. The school
was established to provide pre-
paration for college, and its
one graduate last year, Peter
Ten Eyck, is now attending
Mitchell College in New Lon
don, Conn.
The Director, Karl Riley,
moved to st. Croix over two
years ago after teaching
Science at Hanover Park High
School ia New Jersey for three
years, and in the New York
City school system. An under
graduate at Dartmouth and
Reed college, Mr.. Riley grad
uated Magma Cum Laude with
Special Honors in Social
Science from the College Of
the City of New York in 1854
and was elected to Phi Beta
Kappa. He received an MA. in
Secondary Education from
Columbia Teachers College in
1856, and was appointed part
time Instructor in the teaching
of Science there for the year
$3.50. AS a result Of a science
teaching award given him by
the National Science Teachers
Association in 1858, Mr.. Riley
gave a demonstration Of an
original teaching method at
the National Convention held
at Atlantic City in April, 1859.
The other members Of the
faculty are Thomas Jeltrup,
