BY STEVE GUBACK
star staff Writer

The 1868 major league base
ball season opened today at
flag-draped D. c. Stadium with
President Kennedy, a high
salaried righthander. making
the traditional first pitch with
vigor.
Dressed in q medium-gray
suit, a dark-striped tie and, as
usual. hatless. the President
strolled through the Senators
dugout 13 minutes before game
time and then fired q shoulder
high fast bali as his opening
pitch.
Under the new baseball rules,
with the enlarged strike zone,
the pitch would have been con-
sidered perfect, and it even
went to a catcher-Ken Retzer
of the Senators.
Pretty Good Pitch"
THAT was a pretty good
pitch without having spring
practice" Retzer told the Pres
ident seconds later. sit hit me
right In the mitt and that's
more than some Of our pitchers
can do"
Retzer was in the first row
Of a flock Of players from both
teams who crowded along the
first base line. He bumped one
player from tine Orioles and
caught the pitch in stride run
ming toward the President.
Actually. it wasn't Refers
first time at being first today.
He was the first player out to
take batting practice during
the Senator'S warmup drills
some three hours before game
time.
Boys Club Guests

"It would send the defense
budget soaring and add to the
taxpayers burden an amount
many times the cost Of the
military assistance which
makes possible the accomplish
ment Of our forward strategy
with minimum expenditure in
men and money" the Secretary
asserted.
He said it also would require
the drafting Of many more

STA Billion Requested
The military assistance re-
quest for the fiscal year that
starts July is sl.4 billion. Mr.

a "phasing down trend"

I'VE have no detail or late
information on how serious the
fighting is in the Plaine des
Jarres.
However, the fighting now
going on not only appears to
be a serious violation Of the
cease fire, but If 1t continues
will endanger the implementa-
ton Of the Geneva accords with
all the dire consequences that
such q breakdown will mean
for Laos.
"In these circumstances we
consider it incumbent on the
co-chairmen OF the Geneva ac-
cords and .he International
Control Commission to take
prompt and effective action to
stop the fighting which has
been instigated by the pro-
Communist Pathet Lao and to
insure that the cease fire Is
restored.
"Such action is essential in
order to preserve the indepen-
dence and neutrality Of Laos. !"

U. S. Charges
Violation of
Cease Fire
BY the Associated Press

The State Department said
today Communist forces have
committed "a serious violation
of the cease fire" in Laos.
It called on Britain and
Russia for prompt and effec-
tive action to stop the firing" "
The State Department state
ment was issued as official re-
ports began arriving in Wash
ington about an attack by Red
forces against neutralist Gen.
Kong Les army in the stra-
tegic Plaine des Jarres.
Press officer Lincoln White
said there are indications that
some Communist troops from
neighboring Red North Wet
Nam were in on the assault,
which he said had been "in-
stigated by the Communist
Pathet Lao faction in Laos"
Appeal for Halt
Britain and Russia-plus the
three-nation International Con-
troll Commission-were called
on to halt the firing because
those two nations are co-chair-
men of last years Geneva con-
ference which worked out the
international agreement for an
independent and neutral Laos
The agreement provided fol-
withdrawal Of outside forces
a provision which Mr.. White
slso accused the Reds Of vio-
lating.

EXCLUSIVELY YOURS =

ATHENS, Greece - Her
Majesty, the Queen Of the
Hellenes, is coming to Amer
lea a month after the birth
of her first grandchild.
Princess Sophia, who was
married to Don Juan Carlos
of Spain at a brilliant we'd
ding here over a year ago, is
anticipating her first blessed
event in December.
Said Queen Frederick at a
palace garden party the other
afternoon apropos of the
coming birth, lit is a law. is
1t not, that the first child be-
longs absolutely to the grand
mother?"
Absolutely" I replied.
1.-THE grandmother can give
chocolate to it when she
wants." continued the spark
ling Queen, still with a
straight face, as she began
listing the ways grandmoth-
ers can spoil their grand
children.
HER DAUGHTER SOPHIA,
who may be Spain s future
queen, smiled indulgently. If
there's one thing I can't
stand" she said, "it'S a spoil
ed child"
She was sitting on a table
in the shaded garden pavil-
lion by the rejecting pool,
resting after shaking hands
with two or three hundred
guests. The entire royal fam
lily had stood in the receiv-
ing line-King Paul in uni
form, the Queen in a gold
printed pale green dress with
a dazzling diamond necklace
conferred by a marvellous Ca
buchon ruby; handsome
Crown Prince Constantine,
Princesses Irene and Sophia,
and, last in line, their visit
ing second cousin, Princess
Tatiana Radziwill. She comes
from another branch of the
Radziwill family than the one
Jacqueline Kennedy's sister
married into.
Frederick then began to talk
about her proposed trip to
America next January. Bar
nard College wants to confer
an honorary degree on her
for her interest in an ad-
vancement of the study Of
nuclear physics in Greece,
and the Queen is most
pleased with the idea of
coming.

Sitting there in the cool

ing at the Parthenon, "alone
in majesty of beauty among
all the temples and cathedrals
and palaces of the world" its
golden m arble cleaning
against the black starlit sky,
was an unforgettable expert
ence.
Later we stood on the top
of Philopoppus hill and saw
the whole Of Athens spread
out in golden lights before us.
There are no tall buildings
in Athens and what few neon
signs there are so softened
by the incredible light Of the
city as to be inoffensive.
Greece is "the country Of
the gods" said a guide, and
looking at the white city Of
Athens capped by a cloudless
blue sky, backed by low
mountains that turn violet at
sunset and surrounded in al
most every direction by blue
water, one had to agree.
Whether it was this beauty
that made Athens the birth
place for freedom of thought
and the dignity of man, or
the proportions of the to-
Biography that do not dwarf
man but complement him, or
the air that seems to obviate
the need for more than six
hours of sleeps an occa-
sional topic of conversation.
But beauty was ever present.

that the stories that went

the booing that was done by
a small number and not the
cheering that was done by
thousands.

she said, went out Of their
way to give them a welcome,
both before and after the
booing episode.
1T have never seen any,

six miles we we're cheered,
but outside the theater a
group of 500 booed us and
that's all that most Of the
papers wrote about. How do
you explain why the press
does this?" she asked.
Alas, it is the unusual that
makes the news, replied your
correspondent, and the Com
munists always know how to
make the most with the least.
Why we of the Fourth Estate
let them get away with it is
