The Kennedy administration
was reported today on the
verge of important decisions
dealing with the strife in Laos
But officials ruled out any
possibility United States troops
would be sent there now.
The officials made clear
however, that every other
range of action is under con-
sideration. And President Ken
nedy was expected to discuss
possible courses of action at
a meeting with the National
Security Council today.
Mr.. Kennedy described the
Laos situation yesterday as
most serious it Is a mat
ter of the greatest concern to
US
Addressing the American
Society of Newspaper Editors
the President said the fact
that pro Communist forces
have not needed the call oil

Phouma to halt attacks or
neutralist troops raised the
question of the imminent de-
struction of the Geneva &C.
cords"
I'VE will have a chance tC
see in the next few days" Mr.
Kennedy added.
The Geneva accords, signed
by IA nations, guaranteed Laos
neutrality under a coalition
government.
But fighting has broken out
again. Pathet Lao pro-Commu-
mist forces are driving to smash
neutralist troops in the stra.

A. Whitney GriswoId,
President of Yale, Dies

NEW HAVEN. Conn, April
20 (AP) "A. Whitney Griswold,
a lean, dedicated Yankee who
brought a new look at the Yale
University campus during his Is
years as president, is dead
at Sc.
Mr.. Griswold. champion of
academic freedom, liberal arts,
modern architecture and higher
pay for teachers, died at his
home yesterday of cancer.
He graduated from Yale in
1929, received his doctorate
there in 1888 and taught his
tory at Yale until he was tapped
for the presidency in 1850.
Mr.. Griswold was an out
spoken critic of the late Senator
Joseph r. Mccarthy and once
referred to "McCarthism' as
"uninformed vigilance; the
watchful eye in the empty
head"
Leading Opponent
In 1859 he was a leading OPP
ponent Of the disclaimer affi-
davit required of students who
applied for aid Under the Ma
tional Defense Education Act
The affidavit, in which APP
plicants were required to swear
they were not affiliated with
the Communist Party, cannot
create loyalty Mr.. Griswold
said.
Yale, along with other lead
ing universities, refused to par
ticipate in the program until
the disclaimer clause was re-
moved by Congress last year.
Although he was often in the
thick of controversies-such as
that generated in the mid
1950's by the publication of
God and Man at Yale an
attack by conservative William
F. Buckley on his alma mater
- Mr.. Griswold was able to
marshal alumni support for a
massive construction program
in which SIS million worth Of
buildings were begun.
Commission to Saarinen
He engaged Zero Saarinen to
design hockey rink and two
new residential colleges.
1--WE must trust the creative
spirit and impulse Of our era's
greatest architects he said.

CTORM, SLEET OR SHINE, at 7:3O
- every week day morning, as regularly
as the Congressional Records rolls oft
presses, blue car enters an alley behind
the Government Printing Office and Mrs.
Hilda ingalls, steps out carrying paper
bags Her husband, John, a GPO press
man, parks the car
There is no bark, no meow but at
once animals begin to appear from ma
sOnry cavities, from corners, from under
back porches. Some come trotting, some
creep up, some halt braced for flight Mrs
ingalls, has brought them breakfast.
The scene has been enacted five days
a week for years.
The cat called Little Grayface swal-
lows slowly, painfully; her throat is
Scared from rat poison.
Others come sleek, the Scrawny,
the mannerly, the mean. ALI are fed. Silky,
Tinkerbell, Hitler, Sphinx, Velvet and
their kittens gObble last nights string
beans. Grimy Whitley, one shiny eye topaz
yellow, one China blue, could be snowy
beauty if her lush fur were washed. For
drinking water these stray creatures lap
at rain puddleS or in winter eat snow Mrs.
ingalls, fetches water in tin cans.
Other automobiles now turn into the
cinderpacked backyards or the weedy
spaces where houses used to stand.
Printers emerge, call a CHEEKY Good
morning to Mrs. ingalls,, add jovial jeer
at the cats, then head for their jobs.
At 7:55 the workbell sounds and Mrs.
ingalls,, as chief receptiOnist for the GPO,
must be at her desk by 8. At 4:3O, when
some 1000 day-Shift employees leave for
home, Mrs. Ingalls, spends another hour
as the elected assistant director of the
employees Recreation Association.
At $50 she returns to the alley with
food scrapingS from the employees cafe
terra. This time she goes to a different
area and feeds different set of animals.
For puppies and kittens that beat the
alley mortality rates. Mrs. ingalls, often
finds homes. Adoption by printing plant
people has produced some inly names
like Prints, Devil, Dash, Type High and
Etaoin Shrdlu.
"Hilda," GPO garageman joshed re-
Gently, IF you don't make it to peoples
heaven, you'll be mighty welcome in cat
and-dOg heaven, that's for sure!"
Those who know Mrs. ingalls, think
she's pretty good prospect for peoples
