Laos
Reds Make
Thrust
VIENTIANE (AP) -
Communist battalions striking
at retreating royal forces in
Laos were reported Thirsday to
have thrust to within 2n miles
of the royal stronghold of Houei
Sai, on Thailand's border,
The defence ministry said a
rebel forces overran rearguard
units after a five-hour battle
Wednesday at Tha Fa, 2o miles
north of Houei Sai. The rebels
operated out of Nam Tha, Laotian provincial capital captured
by the Reds last Sunday in a
military action that threatened
to overturn thc delicate balance
existing since the year
cease-fire.
Malcolm Macdonald, British
co-chairman of the Geneva conference on Laos, said he hopes
Laotian leaders will be able to
overcome "an obvious difficult
political and military situation"
prevailing since the rebel capture of Nam Tha and another
northwestern town, Muong Sing.
He said that during a six-day
stay in Laos he had "very frank
and full" discussions with pro-
Communist, neutralist nnd pro-
Western factions. He said he
hopes the Laotians will soon
resume tripartite talks to form
a new government,

ALGIERS— European Secret Army gunmen Thursday killed 12 Moslem women in Oran—one of them a 12-year-old girl — and brought
the western Algerian city to the brink of mass communal violence.
In Algiers, another Moslem woman was killed and the total death-
toll in the two cities by early evening of 44, all but three of them Moslems.   At least another score were wounded.
In Oran, 300 angry Moslems enraged by the shooting of the
women, surged toward the European quarter bent on vengeance and
the frightened Europeans began evacuating their homes.

Ike  Supports
Foreign  Policy
WASHINGTON (API-Former
president Eisenhower expressed
strong disapproval Thursday of
the Kennedy administration's
domestic program. But he
called for full support for its
foreign policy.
The 71 - year - old ex president
told reporters at a press conference that no one, in or out
of office, has sufficient knowledge to criticize Preskent Kennedy on his handling of foreign
policy.
Without mentioning any .
clfic events, Eisenhower said he
applauded what he called "a
growing firmness in the administration's handling of its diffi
cullies with the Soviets."
j On the domestic front, how-
eve r, Eisenhower expressed
concern about "the strenuous
efforts of the administration to
increase greatly the power of
the executive branch of the government," and "administration
insistence upon Increasingly
heavy federal spending on all
fronts."

the largest field in Canadian
history,

Castro
Denounces
Escalante
HAVANA (AP)- Prme Minister Fidel Castro has pictured
disgraced Communist Anibal
Escalante as having practically
set up a new Cuban government
before he fell from power.
Escalante, denounced by Castro last March and stripped of
his positions, was last reported
in Czechoslovakia.
Havana newspapers Thursday
published new details of
charges against Escalante in a
speech by Castro before the Ma-
tanzas Province political committee.
He described Escalante as a
man possessed by a ravenous
craving for power who has "organized a true parody of government"
Castro said Escalane forced
II major adminislrat on deci-
ons to pass through lis office
as organizing secretary of Integrated Revolutionary Organizations, Cuba's provisional political organ. He thus controlled
all major government appointments, Castro said, and also attempted to make military .appointments.

Princess Sophia, who will
have to sign a document renouncing her rights to the
Greek throne, met Juan Carlos
in 1956 during a Mediterranean
cruise organized by her mother,
Queen Frederica.
Fair-haired and blue - eyed,
the 24-year-old princess combines the vitality and spirit of
an intelligent, artiste young
woman with the simplicity and
austerity of old fashioned royalty.
She. is an enthusiastic student
of archaeology and also is a
talented painter and an accomplished pianist, photographer, sailor and swimmer.

Vassar
PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) -
Behavior guidelines laid dowr
for the women of Vassar College-no premarital sex r«
lations and no excessive
drinking—have been endorsed
for the men of Princeton University.
Dr. Robert F. Gohecn, president of Princeton, says that
he agrees with the president
of Vassar, Miss Sarah Gibson
Blanding, that colleges arc
responsible for the morality of
their students.
Miss Blanding had told Vas-
sar's 1,450 students that-
women who could not live up
to the Poughkeepsie, N.Y.,
college's standards should
leave.
As did Miss Blanding, Go-
heen indicated that he did not
believe there was a serious
problem of immorality among
college students.

Lester Pearson likened the Liberal party Thursday to a detergent—ready, come June 18. to

years of Conservative rule.
"This is the time for spring
cleaning," said Mr. Pearson,
addressing a crowd estimated
at 250 at the steps of the Cayuga
court house during a 125-mile
tour of southern Ontario, climaxed by a big parade down
the main street of this city of
22,000.
'You  might  consider  me as
detergent," said the national
Liberal leader.
"Call me Cheer," he said with
a grin.
