American helicopter crews ran

'Frank' Discussions
Malcolm MacDonald, British co-
chairman of the Geneva Confer-
ence on Laos, said he hopes Lao-
tian leaders will be able to over-
come "an obvious difficult politi-
cal and military situation" pre-
vailing since the Rebels captured
Nam Tha and another Northwest-
ern town, Muong Sing.
He said that during a six-day
stay in Laos he had "very frank
and full" discussions with pro-
Communist, Neutralist and pro-
Western factions. He said he hopes
the Laotians will soon resume tri-
partite talks to form a new gov-
ernment.
No Indications
Af$er talking; to newsmen, Mac-
Donald flew off to Bangkok to re-
sume a tour of Southeast Asia.
There were no indications,
meanwhile, of what the Rebel re-
action might be to a request cabled
by Neutralist Prince Souvanna
Phouma from Paris to abandon
Nam Tha and Muong Sing and
withdraw behind the original cease
fire line.

Of Wiretap
WASHINGTON (M-Local law
enforcement leaders urged Con-
gress yesterday to give them even
a freer hand than the Kennedy
administration proposes to employ
wiretapping in catching and pros-
ecuting criminals.
Gambling especially should be
added to the list of crimes for
which wiretapping would be per-
mitted under court order, several
witnesses told a Senate Judiciary
subcommittee. They pictured gam-
bling as the main source of capi-
tal for criminals to carry on their
other underworld activities.
'Essentially Local'
Frank S. -Hogan, New York
County (Manhattan) district at-
torney, said "syndicated gambling
enterprises, although widespread
and likely to be interstate, are
based upon operations that are es-
sentially local."
"Yet the bill in its present form
permits Federal wiretapping in
gambling investigations but denies
similar authority to the states,"
he said.
New York City's deputy police
commissioner. Leonard E. Reis-
man, suggested also that robbery,
burglary and certain larcenies
might be included in the list. Ho-
gan also suggested including lar-
ceny.
Primary Responsibility
Daniel P. Sullivan, operating di-
rector of the Crime Commission of
Greater Miami, gave testimony
similar to that of Hogan and Reis-
man.
Sullivan said congressional in-
vestigating committees have "re-
iterated time and again the pri-
mary responsibility for the sup-
pression of gambling and vice rests
with local communities."
The administration bill, as pro-
posed by Attorney General Robert
F. Kennedy, would limit wiretap-
ping by state authorities to inves-
tigations of murder, kidnapping,
extortion, bribery and narcotics
traffic.

Cites Care
Over Profits
HOT SPRINGS, Va. (P) - The
Kennedy Administration will seek
to assure top industrialists meet-
ing here that it is as concerned
about profits as they are-and is
doing something about it.
The Treasury was described by
administration sources yesterday
as preparing to offer a pledge that
it is working at a top speed to is-
sue substantially liberalized tax
writeoffs on business outlays for
industrial machinery and equip-
ment.
Secretary of the Treasury Doug-
las Dillon had planned to deliver
this assurance in person to the
spring session of the business
council, which opens today.
However, he cancelled the ap-
pointment yesterday so as to be
able to complete testimony in
Washington before the Senate Fi-
nance Committee on the Kennedy
Administration's tax bill. Arrange-
ments were made to have Under-
secretary of the Treasury Henry
H. Fowler apear with Dillon's
message.
The Secretary's report on his
overhaul of depreciation sched-
ules, Administration sources said,
is intended to refute charges that
the Administration is anti-busi-
ness or insensitive to the cost
squeeze on corporation profits.
Many businessmen who were an-
gered by President John F. Ken-
nedy's dramatic and successful
crackdown on the attempted steel
price increase last month have said
Kennedy's subsequent assurances
of good will would be more effec-
tive if backed up by concrete evi-
dence. Most have cited the de-
preciation allowances as a case in
point.
Dillon is expected to assure the
business council that his revision
of "Bulletin F," the tax bible on
depreciation of some 5,000 cate-
gories of industrial equipment, is
only six or seven weeks from com-
pletion.
Steel Makers
Plead innocent
On Price Fix
NEW YORK ()-The nation's
two largest steel producers, Unit-
ed States Steel and Bethlehem,
pleaded innocent yesterday to Fed-
eral charges of rigging bids and
fixing prices on $100 million a year
worth of metal forgings.
Two smaller steel companies, a
trade association and four execu-
tives also entered pleas of inno-
cent before Federal Judge Sidney
Sugarman. He released the indi-
vidual executives without bail and
without setting a trial date.
Besides Bethlehem and United
States Steel, the companies indict-
ed April 26 under the Sherman
Anti-Trust Act are Erie Forge and
Steel Co., Midvaleheppenstall Co.,
both steel firms, and the Open
Die Forging Institute Inc., of New
York, a trade association.
The individuals arraigned be-
fore Judge Sugarman were Erb
Gurney and Robert S. Barnes of
Bethlehem's forgings division;
Emil Lang, board chairman of Erie
Forge; and R. B. Heppenstall, Sr.,
president of Midvale-Heppenstall.
GENEVA CONFERENCE:
Zorin Drops Demand
For Location Change
GENEVA (W-Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian A. Zorin
yesterday suddenly dropped his demand that the 17-nation disarma-
ment conference be transferred to New York after a two-month re-
cess.
Zorin also told an informal plenary meeting of the conference
that the American proposal for progressive zonal inspection of a
world disarmament treaty is completely unacceptable to the Soviet
Union. United States officials said
he, was "quite offensive" in reject-
ing the plan offered as an Ameri-
can compromise attempt.

For the past week Zorin has
campaigned privately among the
Western and neutral delegations
to seek support for moving the
conference back to United Nations
headquarters in New York.
He suggested that the two-
month old conference should be
recessed after drafting a report to
the United Nations at the end of
this month and then be reconven-
ed in New York in August.
Western delegates suspected that
Zorin wanted to recess the con-
ference while the Soviet Union sets
off its projected new series of at-
mospheric nuclear tests announc-
ed as a reply to the current Amer-
ican series.
Zorin told delegates he wanted
the conference moved to New York
so he could continue to head the
Soviet delegation both to the con-
ference and to the United Nations
General Assembly.
They objected to a long recess
and a transfer to New York where,
they claimed, it would be subject
to constant interference from the
United Nation's own conference
schedule.

ATROCITIES IN ANGOLA
A pregnant mother is clubbed to
death. A laborer is thrown in prison
for missing a day's work. Hundreds
of Angolans are slaughtered in cold
blood. In this week's Post, an Amer-
ican missionary describes this
butchery. He tells how the Portu-
guese keep 4,000,000 Africans in
near slavery. And how he himself
was jailed on trumped-up charges.
