Shoe. They both had too darned many 'chil-

often forget who was in the game and who wasn't.
One day he suddenly looked around desperately
for Irv Noren to send him in as pinchhitter, but
couldn't find him. Noren was sitting right next to
him on the bench. At other times he'd suddenly
holler for someone to ''get in there who was

payroll robber who escaped
from a Maryland institution
earlier this month, was ar

POLICY

Continued From First Page
ground forces should push their
present advantage as hard as
possible on the theory that the
United States would not dare
to intervene.
Authorities here stress that
there is strong determination
in Washington not to be pushed
around. One authority put it
this way:
mo one should underesti-
mate our determination. We
feel strongly about seeing any
country cut up piecemeal and
we do not intend to stand for
it."
The picture is expected to
be clarified by the time Prince
Souvanna Phouma, the deposed
.neutralist premier, arrives here
Tuesday. He will talk with Mr..
Kennedy and with Secretary
of State Rusk.

Communist Pathet Lao rebel
leaders.
The evacuation wrote off as
q failure one of the most spec
tacular operations of the civil
war-the April S air drop in
terpreted by WesternerS as a
warning to the Pathet Lao that
government forces still were
powerful despite a succession of
defeats.
Young American civilian pi-
lots flying United States-made
helicopters plucked the red-be-
reted paratrooperS from a val
ley northwest of Muong Kassy
Thursday and took them to the
royal capital of Luang Prabang.
The paratroopers had been
dropped near the north-south
highway between Luang Pra-
bang and the administrative
capital Of Vientiane to counter
paratroopers the Pathet Lao
had thrown into the fight April
3 for royal military headquar-
tiers at Wang Vieng.
Government officials claimed
their paratroopers had accom-
plished their mission of halt
ing the rebel drive southwark.
