U. S. Begins
Taking Troops
From Laos
By the Associated Press

The State Department said
today withdrawal of the United
States Military Advisory Group
from Laos has begun.
Press Officer Joseph Reap
said he had no information
about the withdrawal of an
estimated 10000 Communist
North Wet Namese troops who,
like the United States advisers,
are due to be out of the neu-
trail Southeast Asian kingdom
by October 6.
I'VE intend to abide by the
letter and the spirit Of the
Geneva accord on Laos, and we
expect others to do the same, &"
Mr.. Reap said.
There are approximately 800
United States military advisers
in Laos.
Their pull-out will be spread
over the next three weeks.
United States officials said
some Wet Mini (Communist)
troop Withdrawals are reported
to be going on, but the move
ment is hard to document. The
Geneva accords setting up a
neutral regime in Laos call for
the departing foreign forces to
be checked out through the
three nation International
Control Commission composed
Of Indian. Canadian and Polish
representatives.

I'VE feel there is no justifica-

Mr.. O'Connor said the foun-
dation. despite the Canadian
action, does not question the
Sabin vaccine-"aS far as we
know it's all right"
He added that advocates of
the mass immunization cam
paigns apparently have failed
to recognize that in the seven
years that the killed virus has
been given, both polio and
paralytic polio have been re-
duced 81 per cent in this
country"
In the District of Columbia,
the foundation head told The
Star. only three cases of polio
were reported in 1861 while, in
1862. only one case has been
certified. He said the national

Mr.. Kennedy's list of possible

given by the Cuban resolution

In answer to questions, the
President stated fatty that IF
Cuba should possess a capacity

against the United States, the
United States would act"
II that time comes, he said,
"the country and the Congress

that Cuba had joined the Red

Court Order
At Meridian, Miss, Federal
District Judge Sidney Mize
ordered the university today to
admit Mr.. Meredith for the fall
term.
Judge Mize, who previously
had refused to issue such an
order, said he acted now only
because he was directed to dc
so under a mandate from the
United States 5th Circuit Court
Of Appeals at New Orleans.
The permanent injunction
restrains university officials
from refusing to admit Mr.
Meredith and requires them to
admit him on the same terms
and conditions as applicable to
white students.
Judge Mize's order told Off
cials not to interfere in any

Gov. Barnett quoted the 10th
amendment to the Constitution
Of the United States, under
which powers not delegated to
the Federal Government are
reserved to the States, and said
the operation Of schools was a
State responsibility.
His proclamation concluded:

Of this unwarranted, illegal and
arbitrary usurpation of power.

InterpoSition efforts have
been voided by Federal courts
