British and Soviets
Postpone Formal Opening
OF Geneva Conference
BY Carl Hartman

GENEVA tR = Foreign minis
tiers of Britain and the Soviet I'm
ion failed today to agree on ar
engagements for a 14-nation parley
on the future of Laos and decided
to postpone formal opening of the
conference it had been scheduled
to start today.
Britain and the Soviet Union
co-chairmen 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 accepted
a report from the Truce Com
mission in Laos that cease fire
exists.
A spokesman for the British
delegation said he still hoped the
conference could start Saturday.
but even that is not certain. The
official spoke after British Foreign
Secretary Lord Home held an
hour-long conference with Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gro
myko.
When the conference was call
ed, Britain had said Laos would
be represented by coalition
formed by the Western-backed
Royal Government in Vientiane
the pro-Communist Pathet Lac
guerrillas, and Prince Souvanns
Phouma, considered by the Com
munist bloc countries as the lega
premier.
Since the cease-fire was pro
claimed last week, however, the
Vientiane government and the
rebels have been unable to agree
even on a place to discuss for.
nation of a coalition.

Castro's Militia Hats
All Automobile Traffic
Into US. Naval Base

WASHINGTON Up = The Navy
disclosed today that Prime Minis
ter Fidel Castro's militia has halt
ed all Cuban automobile and bus
traffic into the u. S. Naval Base
at Guantanamo 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 harass American occupancy of
the 45-acre base.
AS soon as the Navy learned
that vehicular traffic had been
stopped, all base buses were press
ed into service and the workers
were met at the main northeast
gate and then hauled to work.
The Navy said all work on the
base was proceeding normally.

robber and kidnaper, today was
granted parole from Statewide

one of the nations toughest, has
served nearly 80 years for the
1888 kidnapping of John Jake the
Barber) Factor in Chicago. His
99-year sentence later was COM
muted to As years, making parole

The Illinois Parole and Pardon
Board said Banghart would be
released from prison when there

ment and a suitable home. A
board spokesman said this prob
ably would take about week.
Banghart has said he would
like to live the rest of his days
in Port Angeles, Wash, with his
wife, Mae, 40. The Parole Board
said it would not object to his
leaving the state with the boards
approval.
Banghart was chief lieutenant
of the late Roger Toughy, Chicago

termed "a most shocking and
glazing" effort to get Civil Serv-
ice workers to buy 500 tickets to
the political birthday dinner for

Kennedy, the Presidents brother,
should investigate published re-
ports which indicate violations
Of the Hatch Clean politics law.

forms in federal election and cam
paign laws questioned the basis
for the Curtis blasts.

Elections subcommittee which was
holding the hearing, said there
was no violation of the Hatch
Act if officials sending out let
tiers to Civil Service workers were
not themselves government Off

Sen. Claiborne Pell. ORD,
told Curtis the names of the gov
eminent workers could have been
obtained from the federal registry
which lists most top officials.
Sen. Maurine Neuberger, Cd
Ore0, who was testifying at the
time in behalf of her "fair cleo
ton finance bill, said Curtis had
just made zone of the best argu-
ments' for it.
Mrs. Neuberger said Curtis anc
all other participants in polite
well know that Republicans ant
Democrats alike resort to "bo1
lunches and dinners for $500" tt
pay off campaign costs.
She urged legislation which
would permit the federal govern.
ment to pay up to half the multi,
