There are alarming indications, a British note said, that the Communist-backed Pathet Lao faction may be getting ready for more attacks on the so-called neutralist forces.

The British made the warning public Friday night here and in London as the Soviet Union released another note in the diplomatic battle over Laos. The Soviet Union proposed that Britain join it in sending another message to all Laotian factions. The message asserts that the United States is stirring up trouble in Laos by supplying anti- Communist elements with arms. The British have refused to sign the proposed message. Britain and the Soviet Union were cochairmen of the Geneva conferences on Laos and have primary responsibility for bringing peace to the Asian kingdom.

Plans for Western military maneuvers in Thailand, near the borders of Laos, were denounced today by the Soviet press. IOWA TRAFFIC DEATHS By The Associated Press June 8, 1963 June 8, 1962 229 197 planned will make it difficult to operate at a profit. The new liquor law requires holders of licenses to buy their stock from state liquor stores. The commission has planned to charge regular prices for its liquor to all purchasers, regardless of how much liquor they buy or whether they have a liquor license. However, the law provides that the commission could allow discounts on large purchases if the discount was made available to everyone and not just license holders.

Homer Adcock, commission chsirman, said Saturday that the commission is studying the possibility of making discounts when large quantities of liquor are purchased at one time. "If we want to, we could give a discount for purchases in large lots," Adcock said. "For instance, we could give 10'per cent off the regular price for purchases of 10 cases or more of liquor. "Private citizens also would be able to buy liquor at this discount rate if they bought 10 cases at a time," Adcock said. "However, this would be unlikely, so the benefit generally would be to bar owners." Adcock said that no decision has been reached yet and said "we are still studying the matter, along with a lot of others.

"We plan to procceed with caution, studying all aspects of the price situation." Adcock said the commission had received several inquiries from persons planning to apply for liquor licenses, asking if it would be possible to buy large quantities of liquor at discount rates. "A few private clubs also have inquired," Adcock said. Gov. Harold Hughes also has received complaints that the cost of liquor at regular rates, plus the 10 per cent sales tax on drinks, will make it difficult to operate at a profit. "Most of the complaints have Liquor See Page 5 Late News Off the Wire VATICAN CITY cardinals of the Church named Roman Catholic two commissions today to supervise arrangements for the conclave that will meet June 19 to choose the successor to Pope John XXIII.

"In some cases, my visits will not be announced in advance to institution officials," Hughes said.

One landed only a short distance from busy Second Avenue. Three large tanks were torn off their concrete bases and nine smaller ones exploded. Robert Patterson told firemen he was loading one small tank with 'gas and as he shut off the pump switch a sheet of flame arose.

He said he lost no time getting out of there. Fire set off explosions in a row. Two boys hi the area, John Coxe and Gary Gieffer, said they were knocked to the ground. Two firemen fighting the blaze in 92-degree weather were nearly overcome. Officials gave no estimate of the damage.

More Blistering Heat for lowans By THE ASOCIATED PRESS Another day of blistering temperatures was on tap hi Iowa at- urday after the mercury soared to record readings in many sections of the state Friday. Highs Saturday afternoon were expected to be mostly in the 90s again, about like Friday's highs which ranged from 92 degrees at Des Moines to 100 degrees at Cedar Rapids and Shenandoah. The weather Friday was the warmest of the year, and the highs at Shenandoah and Cedar Rapids were records for the date, as was Waterloo's high of 98 degrees and Sioux City's high of 94 degrees. The lows early Saturday ranged from 64 degrees at Mason City to 76 degrees at Ottumwa. The forecast for Sunday and Monday called for clear to partly cloudy skies, with scattered showers and thunderstorms likely in the north and east.

"It is not my intention that these visits be swift, guided tours," Hughes said. "I want to talk not only with administrative officials but also with the people who live and work in these institutions." Hughes said he feels that his responsibility as governor is "not only with the problems of the able-bodied, normal and mentally sound taxpayer and voter, but also with the persons walking through the dark caverns of mental illness with the mentally retarded child the convict, the blind, the handi capped and the abandoned young ster." Programs of rehabilitation thai further "this development are noi starry-eyed do-goodism," Hughes said. "They are the very essence of good Iowa common sense.

Holland, one of thr original Senate sponsors of the bill, said it was introduced with the aim of making it "as broad in its approach as possible, always nonpartisan and always welcoming those who do not believe in the strict regimentation and governmental control of fanners." The two senators, agreed that the feed grains bill was rushed through the Senate without reasonable consideration. They contended it vested too much power in the secretary of agriculture. Turning to the recent wheat referendum, Holland said he felt this "shows that actually the sizeable majority of the wheat farm jers did not want to go into the complete regimentation which was "involved in that Miller added: "Some cynics have said now that the farmers made this choice they made their bed and now they should lie in it.

But others who take a much broader, and I thinl a fairer view of the thing, believe that Congress should face up to its responsibilities and provide the wheat farmers with a decent program or certainly decent choice." Holland said the latest bill woul offer a voluntary approach. They said the secretary of ag riculture would determine how many acres, nationally, shoul be retired, what a fair and rea sonable rental for cropland wouk be and then offer this to farmers who could bid in as much of their acreage as they wished.

Only two survived. The defect was a ballooning of spinal cord tissue at the base of the spine, a meningomyelocele. It leaves a child open to infection of the nervous system and to hydrocephalus, the trapping of fluid in the cranium, causing enlargement of the head and some- tunes brain damage. Doctors knew that the spinal cord forms in the first 28 days of pregnancy, often before a woman knows she is pregnant, before she has seen a doctor. The question that haunted doctors was: Did some common drug or in all the cases? They got on the case early, in September, while the trail was still hot.
