Praise Conclusion Os Laos Conference GENEVA (UPD—Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko said today the declaration of Laos as a neutral state is a direct outcome of President Kennedy’s Vienna meeting with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev 13 months ago. Gromyko and Secretary of State Dean Rusk joined in praising the successful conclusion of the 14nation Laos conference at its final meeting today and Rusk offered Laos economic and technical aid to eliminate the wastes of war. The session of the conference today saw the foreign ministers of all 14 participants accept the neutrality declaration of Laotian Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma—thus setting up Laos as an independent and neutral state. Gromyko and Rusk addressed the conference a few hours before they were scheduled to meet together for their first session on the major cold war topics of Berlin and disarmament. All 14 foreign ministers hailed the Laotian agreements this morning as an example of international cooperation which should be followed in future major conferences. Even Communist Chinese Foreign Minister Chen Yi was comparatively mild, although he once again attacked the United States for sending troops to Thailand and called for “extinction of the flames” in South Viet Nam.

View Tax Cut As Political Mistake WASHINGTON (UPD — Many congressional veterans of both parties think President Kennedy will be making a political mistake if he decides to push for an elec-tion-year tax cut. Unless the economy undergoes an unexpected and sharp slump, these lawmakers believe many voters would take a dim view of a Democratic drive to slash tax revenues in the face of the government’s present red-ink spending. The question which Kennedy must answer is whether a quick tax cut is needed to stimulate the lagging economy and head off a possible recession. He has postponed a decision until mid-Au-gust, when more economic indicators will be available. The House Ways & Means Committee also is expected to hear economic $ arguments for and against tax reduction this year. The committee has polled a number of non-governmental economists, to determine whether they would be available to testify next week, should public hearings be scheduled. Some lawmakers in both parties are clamoring for tax cuts. But a large number of members believe that the best politics — as of now—would be to vote against a tax cut. One thing is certain, Kennedy will not recommend a tax cut unless he is certain Congress will enact it.

SHAKEUP (Continued from Page One) announced these shifts: Army Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer, 62, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, will succeed Norstad as U. S. commander in Europe. NATO ,is certain to select him also as supreme Allied commander. His two-year term as Joint Chiefs chairman expires Sept. 30. Taylor, 60, who retired as Army chief of staff in 1959 in disagreement on strategy with President Eisenhower and his joint chief colleagues, will succeed Lemnitzer. Kennedy recalled him to active duty last year as his personal military adviser. Army Gen. Earle G. Wheeler, 54, deputy U.S. commander in Europe and a rising star, will succeed Gen. George H. Decker as Army chief on Oct. 1. Decker will retire. Wheeler took up his post in Europe only last March and his elevation to Army chief was seen as a boost towards future chairmanship of the Joint Chiefs or NATO commander. Both the Lemnitzer and Taylor appointments could be for short terms. Both are beyond normal retirement age. The Air Force Chief of Staff, Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, and the chief of naval operations, Adm. George W. Anderson, are Kennedy appointees. Only the Marine commandant, Gen. David M. Shoup, is a holdover from the Eisenhower administration Joint Chiefs. ,

Space Laboratory Launching Delayed CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) - An errant radio signal in the rocket booster early today forced the United States to postpone for 24 hours an attempt to launch a ispace laboratory to study the planet Venus. Scientists said the difficulty was ‘‘very minor” and it was expected to be cleared up with in a matter of hours. The Marinershot tentatively was rescheduled for 4:44 a.m. EDT Sunday. The countdown for today’s launching had progressed to within two hours of the planned blastoff when it was stopped at around 3:15 a.m. EDT. Scientists said the trouble was in the radio transmitter in the Atlas-Agena rocket. They said an errant signal was being transmitted. The shot must be made within Hhe two-hour period from 4:44 a.m. to 6:38 a.m. EDT, scientists said, because of the advantageous position of the earth at that time. This position gives a trajectory angle permitting the fullest utilization of rocket thrust, they explained. Care Is Urged In Wrapping Parcels

When a postal patron receives a damaged parcel, the comment is Sometimes made that ‘‘lt must have been run over with a steamroller.” The post office department operates approximately 85,000 vehicles of various types but no “steam rollers,” according to postmaster John Boch. “In fact, every effort is made to avoid damage to mail while it is in the custody of the post office. The greatest single cause of damage that does occur is from cartons collapsing under the weight of other mail. “Plenty of care and good common sense is the rule to follow when mailing anything of a fragile nature,” the postmaster stated. He offered these important tips to assure that parcels arrive at their destination in good condition: 1. Select a container that is the right size and strong enough to retain and protect the contents from weight of other mail. Boxes or cartons of corrugated or solid fjberboard, or kraftboard, are recommended. Small articles may be mailed in a chipboard carton if it is of sufficient strenth to withstand the pressures of other ijaail. SUIT boxes or SHOE boxes do not provide adequate protection and are not recommended. 2. Sufficient cushioning material should be used to protect the contents from outside impact. If two or more items are mailed in the same carton, each should be wrapped and cushioned to avoid damaging one another. Fragile items should be cushioned with at at least two inches of shredded paper or excelsior on all sides. 3. Parcels containing fragile or delicate articles sue h as glass, chinaware, radios, etc., should always be marked “Fragile.” 4. Place a complete and legible address on ONE side of parcel only. If address labels are used, secure them to clean uncoated wrapper or carton, and as an added precaution against loss, enclose a duplicate label inside the parcel. A few extra moments spent in properly preparing a parcel for mailing will greatly enhance the prospects of its delivery in good condition. Patrons desiring to know more about the “art” of proper packing may obtain the post office department's booklet, “How to pack and wrap parcels for mailing,” by calling 3-3205.

Amini Had Losing Battle In Iran

By MICHAEL CLAFFEY United Press International Dr. Ali Amini, who quit as Iranian premier this week with a blast at U.S. aid policies, apparently made too many enemies in his losing battle to wipe out corruption and inefficiency in Iran. Amini’s ambitious program, ranging from tax reforms to redistribution of land to peasants, drew better attacks from both right apd left. The ex-premier battled back. He fought the despotic landowners, the army, the outlawed Tudeh (Communist party) and the left-wing nationalist followers of former Premier Mohammed Mossadegh. He apparently even antagonized Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi himself. At the same time Amini, a former ambassador to Washington who was considered pro-Ameri-can, came under near constant fire of Moscow Radio because of his pro-Western policies. “Dr. Amini never had a chance,” one Iranian source said-. “The only thing he could have done to set the country straight was to shoot everybody in power and then start with a clean slate.” See It As Game There was some speculation, however, that Amini’s dramatic resignation may have been part of a desperate game aiming for stronger support. According to his line of thought he may have hoped that by creating a crisis he could convince the United States and the Shah that he was the only man capable of running the country and solving its problems. On Thursday the Shah, in what some regarded as a temporizing move, appointed a close friend of Amini, 43-year-old Assadolah Alam, as premier-designate to succeed him. Amini came into power in May, 1961, promising reforms to end monumental corruption and pledging support for the West. He was vigorous and quick of step, and his puckish grin gave confidence to many who had doubted anything could be done with the ancient kingdom. Hits At U.S. He resigned Wednesday complaining of broken health and lashing at the United States. He charged the United States had undermined his position by cutting down military aid to Iran, a country that has a common border with Russia for more than 1,000 miles. At this point, it appears that Amini resigned because he found

too many people against him and not enough with him. His term in office also undoubtedly taught him that the most drastic measures are needed to pull Iran out of its lethargy* Amini took over from Dr. Sharif Emami, whose government fell because of blatant election frauds, with a massive reform program. Amini put into effect a land redistribution plan, immediately alienating the rich land owners. He had the Shah dissolve the Majlis (parliament) and this set off in full try the nationalist elements which rally around the name of former Premier Mossadegh. The Tudeh party, working underground and from bases in Russia and Communist East Germany, joined the nationalists. Demand Elections They protested the suspension of the Majlis and Amini’s failure to hold elections. The Westerneducated lawyer fend economist said no elections would be held until a new election law, which would make it impossible to cheat, was drafted. He held firm on this point. His fall hu'rts the West. Iran is a key member of the Central Treaty Organization. Its ancient enemy — Russia — is poised on the other side of a long border, growing stronger by the month. Government trouble in Iran means a general dislocation in the Western defense posture in the Middle East. Prolongation of the crisis in Iran would serve the purposes of the Soviet Union. 1,000 Sparrows Are Drowned In Storm The wind and rain storm that struck Decatur Friday evening apparently blew more than 1,000 sparrows up against the west wall of the Decatur General Electric plant, and drowned them, according to reports from the plant.
