Praphas Charusatiiieng said the American troops may be jomed by troops from.other members of the Soutti- east Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) if the situation grows worse.

Peipinii Airs Reaction Communist China's reaction came a commentary in the official Peipmg People's Daily newispaper, quoted by a Peipmg Radiobroadcast. It said the dispatching of American nulitair forces to the Southeast Asian area "obviously (is aimed) at extendmg the Laotian civil war and making the peaceful settlement of the Laotian question impossible." "To the threat of U.S. imperialism to embark upon du-ect uiter- vention in Laos and to use its mcreasmgly flagrant collaboration with and the use of the remnant Chiang Kai-shek brigands to extend the civil war that country, the Chinese people cannot remain indifferent," the broadcast said.

The rainbow would be of different colors and would show the progress of each of the seven divisions of the the billboard needs a slogan. Can you think of one oii this theme? Last year it was 'Tut Your Heart in Your Chest." Berkheimer speaks at Yueaipa "Premium payments for property and casualty insurance in the United States now exceed $12 billion per year. A. Ernest Berkheimer of Redlands told the eaipa Rotary club last night in an address on "The Economics of the Insurance Business." The role insurance plays in the national economy is a.vital one, Berkheimer emphasized. "With no msurance service for one week, 119,000 new and 300,000 used cars would not be sold; 27,000 new homes would not be built and repairs on 8,000 homes and businesses would be delayed pr impossible to make.

In addition, 8,000 new businesses would not be started and $1,000,000,000. in business loans would not be made." Although the primary function of insurance companies is to provide indemnity, they do more, he said. Nine-tenths of all business is transacted with the aid of credit, and insurance encourages its use by offering loss protection. "Take away insurance and hazards become too great, progress is slowed and the people suffer the consequences."

Community Chest seeks slogan for next fairs drive Who can devise a suitable slogan for next fall's Community Chest campaign? It has to conform somehow, to the design of the poster, pictured with this story. The Community Chest, being what'it is, can't offer prizes for the winnuig slogan writer. But it can offer its gratitude. And a special thanks would be offered by the Chest publicity committee. This group met last night.

It pondered and pondered. One suggestim after another was thrown out. The final answer, "Let's ask the public to give us some hdp." It's easy to enter the contest. Just call the Chest office, PY 2-3318. No box tops needed.

Last night's meetmg of the committee was the first to be conducted, by this year's chairman. Brig. Gen. RichardL. Scott director of administrative services at Lockheed Propulsion company.

He and his wife, have two children, both at Cope Junior high, and both active swimmers on the YMCA team. In discussing his committee's job. Gen. Scott noted that the task of creating a favorable image for the services of the eight member agencies "is simply a matter of informing the public and of, makmg people aware that these wonderful services affect the lives of each' and everyone of us in a OPEN SUNDAY 1:30 P.M. 4 to 8 P.M.

State Redlands County employes given pay increase Virtually all county employes will find more money in their pay envelopes next fiscal year. Bui the taxpayer will have to dig deeper into his sock. The Board of Supervisors, in a long session yesterday, approved pay increases which will cost abmit $1 million.

The increases included abnost every salary range, as recommended by the board's salary study committee. The major controversy was over mcreases for executive level employes. Mrs. Nancy Smith opposed a four-range increase for Robert Covmgton, admmistrative officer, and also wanted to hold off on increases for the public works director, the purchasing agent and the Board of Trade director. The hoard finally compromised, however, and put the ive officer's salary on a comparable level with the medical director, the public health director! and likely the county engmeer whose salary has not been finally determined.

The top would be $20, 628. reoppoinfs fwa commissioners Beanwintment of Uoyd Hnlbert to the Board of'Parkmg Place Commissioners and Dr. Sidney Milbank to the Park Conunission was coDfinned by the City Council last night Mr. Hulbert, who has served on the: Parkuig Place Board since it formed in 1959, was reappointed for another three-year term.
