LONDON (UPI) Britain and
the Soviet Union, after weeks
of negotiations, announced Mon
day an agreement on a cease-fire
in Laos and appealed to the
warring factions, to lay down
their arms in the interest of
international peace.
The announcements, made
here and in Moscow, called for
the reconvening of the Interna
tional Control Commission for
Laos and a 14-nation foreign
ministers peace conference in
Geneva on May 12.
In New Delhi it was an
nounced that the r control "com-;
mission would . be reconvened
Friday. The commission-comprised
of India, Poland and
Canada would proceed to Laos
to verify the ceasefire.
Britain and the Soviet Union
told the warring factions that
failure to halt hostilities would
pose a "serious threat to peace
and security in Southeast
Asia." The two governments
acted in the cease-fire appeal as
co-chairmen of the 1954 Geneva
conference that settled the In
dochina War.
Urged Laotian's Cooperation
They also urged the Laotian
people to cooperate with the
control commission in exercis
ing supervision over the cease
fire. The three-stage British plan
for a settlement of the Laotian
strife had the backing of. the
United States.- Bath - govern
ments stressed that a cease-fire
must be in effect before the 14
nation conference can take
place.
In Washington, State Depart
ment spokesman Lincoln White
said the United States will not
attend any conference on Laos
until it is assured that a cease
fire is in force. However, he said
"our initial reaction is one of
satisfaction."

Air Force Orde
To Shoot Om Shrhb
PARIS (UPI) President Charles de Gaulle Monday
imposed an economic blockade on insurgent Algeria and
mobilized army reservists and a civilian militia for a
showdown with rebelling French geenrals and paratroop
ers in the North African territory.
The French air force went on combat footing with
orders to shoot down any planes "on sight" from Algeria,
now isolated totally from metropolitan France. Parisian
airports, opened during the day, were ordered closed for
the second night Monday night
and barricaded to prevent still-
threatened landings by Foreign
Legion paratroops from Al
geria.
Troops, gendarmes and riot
squads fanned out to defense
posts as night fell.
Putting aside their quarrel
with De Gaulle, the Moslem
rebel Algerian government-in-exile
in Tunis, Tunisia, called
all Algerian Moslems to arms
and urged them to fight anti
Gaullist white insurgents.
Kennedy Supports De Gaulle
De Gaulle received a message
of total support from President
Kennedy who offered "constant
friendship and solidarity." West
ern European nations were
solidly behind him and his plan
to grant Algeria independence
which the insurgents oppose.
A de Gaulle spokesman said
the district army commander in
Oran, Algeria's western port
city, was refusing to cooperate
with the insurgents, although
the rebel radio boasted it con
trolled Oran, as well as Al
giers, Mostaganem and Con-
stantine.
Some troops in Orleansville,
Medea and Mostaganem also
were remaining loyal, he said
Although air force units at sev
eral bases declared themselves
loyal, the government admitted
the insurgents held the air
fields.
Civilian volunteers thronged
by the thousands to De Gaulle's
support in Paris and declared
themselves ready to fight any
invasion.
The blockade of money and
shipping by De Gaulle was
total and was expected eithcr
to bring the insurgents to their
knees or goad them to desperate
action.
Stage Supporting Strike
Ten million French union
members of all political colors,
including Communist and mod
erate staged a one-hour strike
to demonstrate support for De
Gaulle in this greatest threat
to his Fifth Republic.
Nine French warplanes flew
in from Algeria during the day
to join the loyal forces, but the
rebels were reported holding
seven French ships at Algerian
ports. One cargo shi pwas al
lowed to leave from Oran and
the rebels sent home a troop
ship with draftes whose service
periods had expired.
De Gaulle's economic block
ade, issued under . dictatorial
powers he assumed Sunday
night, included a ban on all
shipping and a cut-off of all
lunds. -
Government spokesman Louis
Terrenoire said police received
authority to hold sufspects for
15 days without charges.
Today's totals in the Ugly
Man Voting are as follows:
Whit, 16; Yogi Bear, 15; Ge
orge 27; Pretty Boy, 24; Ro
dan 437; Lob, 392; Smoke, 8;

ibrary Thefts To Be Curtaile
d
Student theft of more than 700 so
cial science reference books "repre
sents a partial decay in the honor
. system," said Attorney General Allen
Cronenberg yesterday.
The current dormitory room-to-room
check by dorm managers is an
attempt jointly organized by the at
torney general and the Office of Stu
dent Affairs to retrieve these books
and to bring honor system action
against persons caught with ' books.
Since Thursday afternoon, when
the checks began, more than 100 books
have been " retrieved, and 45 to 50
people's names have been taken.
System Operative?
William G. Long, assistant dean of
student affairs, stated in reference to
the mass long-term theft, "This type
of mass stealing indicates a real ques
tion of whether the honor system is
actually operative at this institution."
These books are General College
social science reference books, which
either were not checked out or were
checked out under false names. Some
of the confiscated books had been in
the person's possession since last Sep
tember. 1 - Attorney General
The plan to check dorm rooms for
missing books was first "requested"
by the attorney general, and then
."endorsed" by the Office of Student
Affairs, said Dean Long.
Attorney General Cronenberg called
it a "cooperative effort."
"The primary purpose of the check,"
said Long, "was to give some con
crete evidence of the fact that people
cannot, with impunity, steal books."
A request , was made .to Pat Hunter,
dormitory manager supervisor, ask
ing the dorm managers to look for
missing books in their regular checks
& -checks for damages to University
property.
"No order was given," said Long.
No library officials directly, request
ed, the action, said Long, but previous
ly they had made complaints to the
attorney ' general. '
Dean Henderson
Entire responsibility for the check
ing action was assumed by Dean of
JERIIOLD ORNE
. . Head Librarian
Students Charles Henderson.
The dorm managers are commis
sioned to "check" only. This does not
entail opening of colset doors or
searching through drawers or per
sonal belongings, according to Long.
Not all dormitories were inspected,
said Long. Connor and other dormi
tories, which are occupied predomi
nantly by graduate students and up
perclassmen (who would not use. the
General College books), were not
checked.
As to why the investigations were
begun without warning, Long said,
"This type of activity is useless if an
nounced in advance."
Right Reserved
Long explained the University's
"justification" for requesting this
check . . . "The University must al
ways reserve the right to protect its
property . . . and books are Univer
sity property."
Cronenberg said, "We couldn't let
this type of thing continue. Action
had to be taken."
When a stolen book is found in a
person's possession, the dorm manager
leaves a mimeographed slip of paper
in his possession. The note, signed by
Cronenberg, says that the person
"will be contacted in the future."
Accused Persons
The attorney general has made a re
quest to all persons who were given
those slips:
"According to honor system proce
dure, any student who is guilty of
taking these library books should turn
himself in to the Office of. Student
Affairs at the first opportunity."

Eichmann Is Sane
JERUSALEM Adolf Eichmann's German defense attorney
said Monday that his client has been pronounced completely
sane by two psychiatrists and has no intention of pleading
insanity at his trial for the murder of six million Jews.
Lawyer Robert Servatius, in an interview with UPI, de
scribed Eichmann as "my best assistant." He has been making
valuable contributions to his own case the attorney said.
Kennedy To Have Led Parade
MIAMI The people of Cuba were told Monday that Prcsi-
dent Kennedy intended to be a spectator aboard an American
warship at last Monday's invasion and then lead a "victory
parade" into Havana.
"But at the last moment, when the attack developed into
a retreat and the retreat into a defeat, the Yankee president
cancelled his plans to witness that spectacle," a broadcast over
a nationwide Cuban network said.

McNamara Cites More Defense
NEW YORK Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara told
the nation's newspaper publishers Monday that the American
economy could sustain greater spending for defense, if neces
sary. "We can and must expend whatever is needed to protect
the lives and substance of our people," he said.
McNamara spoke at the annual lunch of the Associated
Press at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel during the opening day
festivities of the 75th annual American Newspaper Publishers
Association.
Nixon Likes Guerrillas
WASHINGTON Former vice president Richard M. Nixcn
thinks the Cuban invasion fiasco means the United States must
develop strong guerrilla-type forces to smash Communist sub
version in Cuba, Laos or Latin America.
Nixon strongly supports President Kennedy's decision to
aid the anti-Castro rebels. But he feels it was a mistake not to
decide in advance what the United States would do if the
invasion failed.
