LARGE NUMBERS of .North Vietnamese troops have unac-
countably withdrawn from the strategic Plain of Jars easing
a threat in northern Laos.
However, Laotian military leaders, the U.S. and other Western
diplomats say the North Vietnamese still pose a serious threat in
the central and southern parts of Laos.
MIKE MANSFIELD, senate majority leader, advocated com-
plete U.S. military withdrawal from a neutralized mainland
after peace is achieved in South Vietnam.
Mansfield said Vietnam and the adjacent nations should be
left "under the umbrella of a guaranteed neutrality," with the
United States, Communist China and the Soviet Union joining
in the guarantee.
All foreign troops should be withdrawn from Vietnam, Laos,
Cambodia and Thailand, he said, so that "any outside fears any
of these countries have would be alleviated."

RIVAL SCHEMES of the United States and the Soviet Union
for settling the Middle East conflict have become known in
London.
The Soviet Union supports a new Big Four commission, con-
trolling a U.N. force, to act as a watchdog over the phased fulfill-
ment of an Arab-Israeli peace.
The U.S. is keeping the door open for agreed adjustments of
the Israeli-Arab frontier and a new status for the Gaza Strip. It
has also suggested demilitarizing all Arab territory that Israel oc-
cupied in the 1967 war.
RADICAL JAPANESE STUDENTS invaded Prime Minister
Eisaku Sato's residential compound where other student mili-
tants were under arrest.
Right now the Union Board of
Directors are directly responsible
to the Regents.
According to Stanfield Wells,
the Union manager, unions
around the country are generally
responsible to their university's
financial officer.
Ladner's committee has met
with Pierpont. "He is not trying
to make a power struggle," says
Ladner, rather "his concern is
that the Union stay in the black."
Ladner praised Pierpont for his
"tactfulness in dealing with us."
Stromberg's commitee on space
allocation expects to complete its
final proposals in two weeks. Lad-
ner says his committee on gov-
ernment hopes to make its report
in November. Both will be studied
by the University's executive of-
ficers and hopefully, says Strom-
berg, will be voted on by the Re-
gents in December.
Cyclamate

Grocery-shelf
removal by Feb. 1
WASHINGTON 4 - Acting
on new evidence of a cycla-
mate-caused cancer in an!-
mals, the government ordered
yesterday an immediate pro-
duction halt of all foods and
drinks containing the artifi-
cial sweetener, and grocery-
shelf removal by Feb. 1.
But in issuing this order, Sec-
retary Robert H. Finch of the De-
partment of Heath, Education and
Welfare added, "we have no evi-
dence at this point that cycla-
mates have indeed caused cancer
in humans."
The widely used cyclamates, de-
scribed by Finch as a $1-billion-
a-year industry, are found in both
diet and non-diet substances.
The secretary said at a news
conference 'he sees no need f cr
families to stop using such arti-
ficially sweetened products as diet
soft drinks they now have in their
homes.
"My decision to remove cycla-
ars. mates from the list of approved
tary substances in no sense should be
r - mterpreted as a lif e-saving or
the emergency measure," Finch said.
and "I have acted under the provis-
an ions of law because it is impera-,
tive to follow a prudent coursein

ated health."
