Named Matthew and Mark, the twins were youngsters No. 18 and 19 for Mrs. Mahoney, whose husband, Edward, is an week laborer at the Albro Packing Co. of Albion, Pa. The Mahoney family is an amazing one.

It now includes, in addition to the parents, 12 boys and seven girls. Counting the twins, 13 youngsters will be living at home in nearby Conneautville, Pa. Two sons are veterans of service in the Air Force. A younger boy is a freshman at Gannon College in Erie. A daughter, Mary Anne, was graduated recently from Edinboro (Pa.) State College.

Two of the Mahoney offspring are married and mamma and pap- pa Mahoney have one grandchild. A friend of the family said the older children who are working "pitch in" financially.

Both she and the new-borns were reported doing fine at the Hospital.

Resume Work For Space Shot On Thursday CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI)-Project Mercury officials geared today for another attempt on Thursday to send astronaut John on a globe-girdling H. Glenn Jr. flight.

Glenn was reported "rested and chipper" as he donned his silver-coated i suit and climbed into the capsule at 4 p.m.. EST, Sunday. Space agency officials said later that both the capsule and the towering Atlas missile were "checking out very well" in the preliminary stages. The Thursday go-ahead was ordered by Mercury Operations Director Walter C.

10. Red Rebels Make Moves Into Laos Black Dressed Troops Fight Within 6 Miles Of Provincial Capital LUANG PRABANG, Laos (UPI) Pro-Communist rebels' dressed in black fought to within six miles of Nam Tha today, threatening the provincial capital from three sides. Laotian commander-in chief Bounleut Sanichan deployed his loyal troops for a last ditch defense after determined rebel soldiers smashed through a vital ridge east of town over the weekend. A three-pronged attack was expected at any time. Fresh reinforcements and four rocket carrying fighter planes were rushed in Saturday to counter the expected assault from the northeast, east and south.

An uneasy quiet enveloped most of the front today. U.S. military advisers said fche letup probably meant the pro-Communists were moving up mortars and ammunition for a final assault. One Red column was reported six miles northeast of Nam Tha, inside the last ridge of the defense perimeter, another crossed the ridge from the east and a third was maneuvering down a southern slope. Reconnaissance pilots reported the enemy had moved in three big mortars.

They said the rebel troops that overran the ridge wore black, the color of the clothing worn by some Laotian tribes and also by Communist troops from North Viet Nam. The Nam Tha air'strip remained open to planes loaded with reinforcements which continued to ferry out most of the civilian population. But the military advisers warned that the rebels needed to advance only a few thousand yards further to bring the strip within range of their mortars. A heavy bombardment could knock it out. A Communist New China news agency broadcast said "Red Prince" Souphanouvong, leader of the Pathet Lao rebels, conferred in -Peiping" Sunday with Chinese Communist Premier Chou En Lai.

Human Rights Bill Planned DETROIT (UPI)-A bill recommending establishment of a human rights commission will be sent to the state legislature this week, Gov. John B. Swainson said here Sunday night. Swainson, addressing a testimonial dinner, said that the bill would extend the idea of the Fair Employment Practices Commission to other fields.

His bill, the governor said, "would refer to all facets of human life and endeavor. It is important not only to the state, but to the nation," he added. Honored at the dinner were three prominent Negroes, Judge Wade H. McCree, Michigan Supreme Court Justice Otis Smith and Assistant Deputy Postmaster General Christopher C. Scott.

The proceeds of the $10-a-plate affair were slated for the Tom Mboya Scholarship Fund for African Students at Wayne State University. Swainson said, "As we stand before the world, our relations with other nations now start with the questions, how about Little Rock--how about Montgomery or how abut Detroit?" Other speakers at the dinner included Detroit Mayor Jerome P. Cavanagh and president of the City Council, Ed Carey, who served as master of ceremonies. Sen. Thurmond Blasts Censorship of Military Nuclear Test Ban Talks Break Down Conference OAS RECESSES Hemisphere Foreign Ministers have decided to recess for a cooling-off period before tackling the Cuban question again.

The recess was precipitated by the insistence of the United States that Cuba's subversion of Latin America must be stopped. Foreign Ministers of some of the larger South American nations who have been advocating that a softer line be taken needed the recess to consult with their governments for new instructions. Here, U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk (far left side of table facing camera) confers with a small group of foreign ministers iti an attempt to iron out their differences. Fail to Reach Accord on Cuba PUNTA DEL ESTE, Uruguay (UPI)--Stymied in its efforts to get Fidel Castro's Cuba kicked out of the Organization of American States (OAS) immediately, the United States pressed today for a face-saving declaration of principles and a quick end to the conference here.

The hemisphere's foreign ministers prepared to vote on a watered-down resolution saying the Castro regime should be isolated from the inter-American system but leaving it up to the OAS Council to determine how it should be done. U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk appeared to have missed by one vote the necessary two-thirds majority needed for immediate explusion. When the chips were down Argentina and Haiti, which had shown interest in the plan to suspend Cuba promptly, each failed to pledge the vital 14th ballot. Authorized sources said Rusk decided to settle for a resolution which would: --Declare the Castro government a Communist regime incompatible with the inter-American system.

--Suspend Cuba immediately from the Inter-American Defense Board. This would ratify what already is the board's practice. a hemisphere-wide embargo against arms shipments to Cuba. Such shipments by OAS members are negligible, but the United States wanted the action as a first step in getting other free nations to stop peddling weapons to Cuba, already Latin America's largest military power. --Declare the present Cuban government "must be deprived" of participation in all the organization's inter-American system.

This clause as drafted at present- would leave it to the OAS Council in Washington to "determine proper measures carrying out this resolution." --State general principles of opposition to Communist penetration of the Western Hemisphere --Reaffirm the hemisphere's faith in President Kennedy's Alliance for progress program as the best long-range answer to communism. WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen. Strom Thurmond, has charged that censorship of military speeches showed the State Department "sold our leaders on the idea that we do not, want to win the cold war." Thurmond, whose charges of military "muzzling" triggered the current Senate inquiry, said Sunday night that speech changes brought out in the hearings reflected what he called "a no win policy." The Senate armed services subcommittee is scheduled to resume the censorship hearings Tuesday with testimony from the chiefs of staff of the Army, Navy and Air Force. Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and retired officers testified last week.

The senators also plan to call the assistant secretaries of state and defense for public affairs, 5 LBS. SUGAR 29c With $5 purchase. Bread West Side Food W. 17th Adv. Roger Tubby and Arthur G.

Sylvester, and their aides. Thurmond said the inquiry already had proved "productive and enlightening." "From my study of the censored items and my acquaintance with recent and past policies in dealing with the Communist methods, I am convinced that these actions reflect what I call a 'no win' policy," he said. "Our State- Department policy planners have sold our leaders on the idea that we do not want to win the cold war." Thurmond described as "shocking" some comments, that State Department censors were disclosed to have made in blue- pencilling speeches. "What remains to be answered is whether the censors are acting capriciously on their own or acting in accordance with established national policies which have not been made readily available lo the public," he said. "There is strong evidence indicating the tatter."

(UP!) President Kennedy was scheduled to fly back to Washington today for a busy week which will include transmitta! of three highly controversial messages to Congress. One will be aimed at the city folks--some two-thirds of the nation's population--and will have important ramifications among Negro voters and southern lawmakers. This is his plan for creation of a new urban affairs department which the President has said would be headed by Housing Administrator Robert C. Weaver, who would become the first Negro Cabinet member. This was expected to be sent to Congress Tuesday, along with another message which has the rural population in mind--a new agricultural program which Kennedy has said is designed to solve American farm problems for this decade.

The third message, already a source of great controversy, will ask Congress to approve U.S. purchase of half of a $200 million CLOSED 'TIL FEB. 10 4 P.M., Eton House Adv. long-term bond issue to finance United Nations operations in the Congo.

Kennedy signed the transmittal message which will accompany the blueprint he will send Congress for creation of a new urban affairs department.

In sending the reorganization plan to the House and Senate, Kennedy will invoke powers granted in a 1949 act providing for governmental changes to become effective within 60 days of transmittal unless either house casts a veto by majority vole.

There was no immediate comment from A i a delegate Charles Stelle or Britain's Sir Michael Wright as they walked grave-faced from the conference room. The United States had asked during today's meeting that the talks be recessed indefinitely since there was no common ground on which could continue. Stelle said during the session that the Soviets were shedding 'crocodile tears" over the resump- of nuclear testing by the United States.

He said the Soviets "always conveniently forget that they have it their power to bring about a cessation of all weapon tests at an early date." He called on the Russians to "resume honest negotiations" and "cancel their repudiation of all the agreed articles (of a test ban treaty! and other language." Steiie said" that "whether we like or not the negotiations are, in fact, in a state of deadlock." Stelle said the United States was prepared to go on working for a nuclear test ban through normal diplomatic channels or through informal contacts in Geneva. Representatives of the American delegation will remain here, he said, "to respond to any formal approaches which the Soviet government or delegation may make to work out this problem." Stelle said the United States. therefore, "formally proposes that Lhis conference recess immediately until a common basis for negotiations can be re-established either at the forthcoming meetings of the 18-nation disarmament conference, through diplomatic channels or through informal a among delegations at Geneva." There seemed little likelihood of the latter, however. Asked if he was going back to Moscow, a a i said, "Of course, at once. What is the use of staying here?" The Soviets had set off a series of nuclear tests in the atmosphere last September despite the talks here.

The United States followed by resuming underground tests. Both sides came back to the conference table after that, with the United States and Britain determined not to prolong the talks indefinitely unless there was discernible progress. There was none, and the impasse developed which led to the break-off today. Judge Blocks Annexation Vote GRAND RAPIDS (UPD-Circuit Court Judge N.
