The Senate's top man. on
military affairs conceded today
that circumstances might arise
which would require that
United States troops now stiff
.ening the defenses of Thailand
move across the border into
troubled Laos.
But I do not anticipate any
such event." Chairman Russell
Democrat of Georgia. Of the

mittee, haStened TO add in a
televiSion interview.
In fact, he ventured what
he specifically labeled as 6
guess that the current lull IN
fighting in Laos means the So
Wet Union has called off at
least temporarily the Commu-
mist rebel drive thai triggered
the United States move into
|neighboring Thailand.
Senator Russell declined to
speculate on circumstances that
might send the United States
across the Mekong River bor-
der.
But, in response to a question
on whether q Communist on
slaught against Laos royal

The 5,000-man United States

courage freer trade.
Senator Hruska said that
since the textile bill is receiving
"acroSs-the- board" suppor
from administration agencies,
"one can rightly question
whether HR9900 (the general
trade agreement bilD is ad-
vocated in compile te good
faith"
Senator Douglas, Democrat of
Illinois, said he had no fault to
find with the Administrators
recommending the bill, but sug-
gested that because 1t is polit-
ically powerful, the textile
group, held a pistol at the
head of the President and said,
there will be no trade ex-
pansion bill unless you take
care Of cotton and WOOL I sus-
pect that is exactly what hap
pened. and under that pressure

u. S. Move Into Laos
Seen Remote by Russell

II would regard that as a
very serious situation 1t
could lead to very serious
events"
He expressed hope that the
Soviet Union will see that that
does not happen"
Senator Russell said the Red
Chinese are talking much like
they did just before they moved
into Korea in support of Com
munist forces there, but he
said he does not think they in
tend such an action in Laos.
They viii not do it unless
they desire to precipitate an
all-out war;" Senator Russell
said.
AS for the Laotian royal gov
ernment's forces. which fled
before the Communists, Senator
Russell commented:
They must be about the
poorest fighting men that are
under arms on the globe /.
They have the least heart for
fighting Of any troops in recent
history"
The Red rebels on the other
hand. Senator Russell said, are
bolstered by a hard core from
Communist North Wet Nam.

LEEcHES HELD KEY
PROBLEM FACING
THAILAND TROOPS

There are only two
things we worry about fly
ing over Thailand," a
veteran Marine pilot said
today: ''Leeches in the wet
season and tigers when
it's dry"
The rainy season Is Just
starting in 'Thailand. so
the Marine and Air Force
flyers who viii be ferry
ing troops and patrolling
the Mekong River can stop
worrying about tigers un-
til d-October when the
dry season starts.
But those leeches are
worse" the pilot now back
on Pentagon duty. said.
THE Thai maps are poor,
and there's not much to
guide you except the rivers.
If you have trouble and
have to bail out or land
you usually end up In q
swamp. The leeches can
be all over you in a minute.
They're big and can suck
a lot of blood.
I'm the dry season the
pilots go armed because
that country is full of tigers
that roam around when
the ground dries out"

BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer

The Defense Department
the Governments largest en-
ployer with more than a mil
lion civilian workers-has mod
nied substantially its original
intent to ban most of its super-
usors from holding local or
national union office.
Under the directive Just
signed by Defense Secretary
Mcnamara, it's expected that
most supervisors in Army. Navy
and Air Force and the office Of
Secretary Of Defense will be
able to hold union office.
f. Defense's action in modifying
les original draft of the regu-
lations is in keeping with the
Kennedy administrations lib
eraliZation Of its own ORIGINAL
Interpretation of President
Kennedy's executive order. The
administration modified its
position following complaints
from Government employe
unions that a general ban
against supervisors holding
union office would severely
cripple them or put them out
Of business.
A number Of Defense officials
credit Vaux Owen. president of
the National Federation of Fed
eral Employees. in playing a ma
jor role in bringing about the
easing of the restrictions
against supervisors holding
union office. Mr.. Owen made
a major issue of it and con-
vinced administration officials
that the original Interpretation
was much too harsh.
For example. the Defense
Departments original draft
called for barring virtually al
Defense supervisors in Grade
and above.
Now. however. the directive
signed by Secretary McNamars
automatically excludes from
union office only top official:
down to the unit head leve
and their immediate subordi-
mates, personnel officers anc
others who carry on direct ne.

enable President Kennedy to
regulate cotton textile imports
more effectively for the pro-
lection Of the domestic textile
industry.
Under the 1856 law. the
United States already has made
an agreement with 18 countries
handling 80 per cent Of free
world cotton textile trade to
control their imports to the
United States.
But 1t was feared that i'm
ports from the non-participat-
ing countries might disrupt the
agreement. The pending bill
was drawn up to enable the
President to control imports
from these non-participating
countries. ..
Steps Seen Justified
Defending the Western
amendment, Senator Hruska
agreed that the steps proposed
for the textile industry are JUS
titled by the distressing and
receding state" Of that indus
try in this country.
But Senator Hruska called 1t
a strong protectionist measure
and charged it is a complete
negation" Of the philosophy of
the administrations main trade
agreement bill, which seeks to

rotations with union groups.
Regarding the unit head level,
this refers to officials who are
in charge of an activity which
for purposes of union recog-
milton is considered a unit.
Defense's regulations also
provide that employees shall be
barred from union office where
a conflict of interest exists,
but this isn't expected to bar
many supervisors from union
office since most Of them
aren't involved in conflict-of-
interest situations. For ex-
ample, a conflict Of interest
would exist where a supervisor
or management official was
an officer Of a union local and
in the capacity Of his Gov
ernment Job had to deal with
the union on its complaints
and demands.
In the relatively few cases
where supervisors will have to
give up their union offices, the
Defense Department will allow
them to finish their present
terms or serve until next jan
uary !.
