Current Events In Laos Recall Talks

UPI Foreign News Analyst Enough of the pieces have fallen into place now to remove any lingering doubts there may have been over Communist good faith in Laos. What events in that sorry little kingdom do add up to is simply the early approach of a new moment of truth for the United States in South Viet Nam and perhaps in Thailand as well. Communist objectives are both political and military and are unlikely to be changed by talks, whether they be held in Moscow. Washington or the Plain of Jars. The United Slates accepted neutrality for Laos for the very good reason that U.S. - trained and equipped Royal Lao forces turned out to be miserable fighters, although probably as good as their FOR PROPER INSURANCE PROTECTION PLANNED TO MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS CALL 3*3601 COWENS INSURANCE AGENCY 209 Court Street PHONE 3-3601 L A.

I opposite numbers in the Pathet Lao were—the latter not beefed I up by hard-core Communist troops from neighboring North Viet Nam. With the military stance abandoned, neutrality became the only thing left unless the United States were willing to commit its own forces on a scale far larger than anything yet attempted in Southeast Asia, including South Viet Nam. Current events in Laos recall vividly to this correspondent interviews in 1962 with two individuals who continue to play important roles in the Southeast Asia drama, one of whom proved correct and the other incorrect. Thailand Foreign Minister Thanat Kohoman said that neutrality for Laos would work only if guaranteed by Washington and Moscow. Moscow, he said, would have to guarantee withdrawal ot' Communist Viet Minh forces back to North Viet Nam. Because of the strained relations between Moscow and Red China, he did not believe the Russians could do it. In Vientiane, the capital of Laos, long-time Indian diplomat Avtar Singh also was considering Laotian neutrality- As chairman of the International Control Commission, it would be up to him to see it enforced. The United States, he conceded, was taking a calculated risk but he believed it a good one. Laos, he believed, would remain neutral rather than lose U.S. aid. The commission, he believed, could prevent transport of Communist reinforcements through Laos over the Ho Chi Minh Trail to South Viet Nam. Events proved Avtar Singh somewhat less than realistic. A glance at the map illustrates the military point. One area of recent fighting in Laos was the

market town of Luong Nang. It is near the eastern boundary with South Viet Nam, directly between the key towns of Tchepone and Saravane. Tchepone once served as a Russian air base for ferrying supplies to the Pathet Lao and Viet Mih. Saravane marks the beginning of the last leg of the Ho Chi Minh Trail through mountainous jungles into Cambodia and South Viet Nam. This trail the Communists mean to preserve and they will fight for it Politically, the Communists want, as they always have wanted, the two northern provinces of Laos and as much more as they can grab for a clear path into Thailand.

Cancer Fund Drive $386 Short Os Goal The Adams county cancer fund drive is just $386 short of its goal of $2,961, Mrs. Robert Krueckeberg, county chairman, announced today. Anyone who has not contributed, and wants to aid in the search to find a cure for the many types of cancer, and wants to help those patients who now have cancer, is asked to send in their contributions at once. They may be sent to Adams county Cancer Society, c/o Mrs. Robert Krueckeberg, 403 Bollman St., Decatur. As of today, $2,575.37 has been raised by the Adams county group. This includes a partial report from the first township-by-township drive in the country.

Al Jackson Is Winner Third Game For Mels By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Casey Stengel, master of the non sequitor, reserves one of his best for pitcher Al Jackson of the New York Mets. “If he wasn’t a left-hander,” says Stengel, “you’d think he was a ball player." What Stengel means is that the 27-year-old native of Waco, Tex-, moves with such grace that he would be mistaken for a shortstop or a second-baseman — except, of course,, for the fact he’s left-handed. As it is, Jackson is a pitcher and he's turning out to be a mighty good one, too. A 20-game loser for the forlorn Mets of 1962, Jackson posted his third win against two defeats this year when he beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 3-1, Tuesday night. Jackson allowed 11 hits, including three doubles and a triple, and the Phillies had a runner in scoring position in five of the first eight innings but they didn’t score until Bobby Wine homered in the ninth. Homers Provide Runs Charlie Neal hit an inside-the-park homer and Frank Thomas hit a two-run homer in the first inning to provide all three runs for the Mets, who have won four of their last seven games to achieve a respectability they never had in ’62. Nobody is rating them a first-division threat in the strong NL but they’re no longer the patsies that drove Stengel whabky last year. Sandy Koufax and Bob Purkey, two pitchers who could be of key importance in the pennant race, provided encouraging news Tuesday night for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds. Koufax, sidelined since May 23, pitched a five-hitter for eight innings as the Dodgers clobbered the St. Louis Cardinals, 11-1, while Purkey, out since spring training with a lame arm, yielded four hits and one run in 5 1-3 innings and left the game with the lead even though the Houston Colts rallied to top the Reds, 3-2. The San Francisco Giants went back into first place with a 5-2 win over the Milwaukee Braves and the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-4, in other NL games. In the American League, the Detroit Tigers defeated the New York Yankees, 6-2, the Boston Red Sox downed the Baltimore Orioles, 5-1, the • Chicago White Sox shaded the Kansas City Athletics, 2-1, the Cleveland Indians topped the Washington Senators, 7-3, in 11 innings and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Minnesota Twins, 2-8. Washburn Loses First The Dodgers backed Koufax with a 13-hit attack that included three hits by Ron Fairly, a homer by Tommy Davis, a triple by Johnny Roseboro and three doubles. Ray Washburn, who had won five straight games, was routed in three innings and suffered his first defeat. Purkey turned over a 2-1 lead to his successor but the Colts rallied for two runs on singles by Jim Campbell, Johnny Temple, Bob Lillis and Rusty Staub in the eighth to hand Joey Jay, a 21game winner in each of the last two seasons, his sixth straight defeat of 1963. Juan Marichal pitched a fourhitter and Felipe, Alou, Ed Bailey and Jose Pagan homered for the Giants, who replaced the Pirates in first place. Hank Aaron homered for the Braves, who saw Lew Burdette's record squared at 3-3. Larry Jackson pitched a fivehitter and struck -out seven and Ernie Banks homered for the Cubs, who have won seven of their last eight games. Roberto Clemete and Smoky Burgess homered for the Pirates.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1963

Red Sox Back Info lead In American Loop UPI Sports Writer There are two words needed to explain why the Boston Red Sox are off to their best start in 10 years: Pesky and pitching. Rookie Manager Johnny Pesky has instilled a new spirit and a strong young pitching staff completes the new look of a team that so often in the past has been all muscle at the plate and all thumbs in the field. The combination has the Red Sox occupying first place in the American League today —a heady experience for the survivors of last season’s eighthplace bumblers. The Red Sox reached the top rung for the second tinme this season when they beat the Baltimore Orioles, 5-1, Tuesday night to give them six victories in their last eight games. Earl Wilson, 12-8 including a no-hitter last year, fired a three-hitter and struck out seven to raise his 1963 mark to 3-2. Roberta Loses Again Lu Clinton homered, Frank Malzone had three hits and Chuck Schilling, Carl Yastrzemski and Roman Mejias had two each to lead the Red Sox’ 12-hit attack that dealt 1962 comeback of the year star Robin Roberts his fourth consecutive loss of 1963. Boog Powell doubled home the Orioles’ run. The Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees, 6-2, the Los Angeles Angels topped the Minnesota Twins, 2-0, the Cleveland Indians defeated the Washington Senators, 7-3, in 11 innings and the Chicago White Sox edged out the Kansas City Athletics, 2-1, in other AL games. In the National League, the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-4, the New York Mets shaded the Philadelphia Phillies, 3-1, the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the St. Louis Cardinals, 11-1, the San Francisco Giants beat the Milwaukee Braves, 5-2, and the Houston Colts topped the Cincinnati Reds, 3-2. Bill Freehan, SIOO,OOO bonus catcher, scored three runs and drove in two with a homer, triple and double to lead Detroit’s ninehit attack on Bill Stafford and two successors. Don Mossi, beating the Yankees for the second time this season, allowed seven hits, no walks and struck out four. Pitches Three-Hitter Ex-Yankee Bob Turley pitched a three-hitter to win his first game for the Angels, who purchased him conditionally from New York last October. Turley, a 21-game winner in 1958 who has had a variety of arm ailments for the last three years, struck out nine and didn’t walk a batter. Leon Wagner continued his fine hitting for the Angels with two singles and a run batted in. Pinch-hitter Johnny Romano’s two-run double and Al Luplow’s two-run single were the big blows of a four-run llth-inning rally that carried the Indians to their fifth straight win. Bob Allen, the fourth Cleveland hurler, was the winning pitcher. Four Senators were ejected from the 3:23 struggle by Umpire Al Salerno. Johnny Buzhardt, aided by Hoyt Wilhelm's ninth-inning relief, won his second game for the White Sox, who knocked the Athletics out of first place- Buzhardt singled home one White Sox run and Floyd Robinson had a run-scoring single and a double to extend his hitting streak to eight games.
