I want to say again I have made no deals, nor will I make any." Goldwater, who ran third to Rockefeller and Lodge in Ore gon, said he saw no visible signs of Lodge strength in California.

GOOD NEWS Average Pay In Nevada Tops In U.S. Gazette-Journal Carson City Bureau Nevada's per capita income in 1963 again led the nation, the U.S.

Commerce Department reports. Figures place per capita income in Nevada at $3,372, or 38 per cent above the national average. The figure represents a 2.9 per cent increase over 1962. Mississippi had the lowest per capita income in 1963 $1,379 or 44 per cent below the national average. Attacks By Reds Proceed WASHINGTON (AP) A spokesman said today the Unit ed States is "not ruling out' any measures possibly includ ing military moves which it may rind necessary to pre serve the neutrality and independence of Laos." That was the answer given when the State Department's press officer was asked at a news conference whether the United States might send troops into inauana as was done in a period of crisis ei Laos two years ago.

ATTACKS CONTINUE Press officer Robert J. Mc- Closkey said the latest reports to the State Department show that Communist Pathet Lao at tacks are continuing in the Plaine des Jarres against forces loyal to the neutralist government of Premier Souvan- na Phouma. Other officials said the at tacks could result in destroying the neutralist forces under Gen. Kong Le and wrecking the whole internationally agreed neutralization program in Laos. McCloskey declared the Path et Lao attacks, which offio'sls say are supported by battle- hardened elements from Com munist North Viet Nam "have seriously threatened Souvanna Phauma's government and the raDric or the Geneva agree ments neutralizing Laos in 1962.

DIPLOMACY So far, McCloskey said, U.S. activity has been concentrated on diplomatic efforts to stop the fighting. The United States has alerted its Southeast Asia ireaiy urganization allies, ap pealed to Britain and the So viet Union for cooperation, and asked Britain, France and Pakistan to intercede with Com munist China. At this stage, key officials said today, they are trying to evaluate the intentions of the Pathet Lao to gauge how hard and how far the pro-Reds are likely to push. Meanwhile, the United States is making a strong diplomatic bid to cool the situation.

The ef fort includes roundabout approaches to Red China. Any thrust by the pro-Reds to ward the administrative capital of Vientiane or Paksane, right across the Mekong from Thailand, might well trigger some U.S. move like that of two years ago. In 1962, the United States rushed 6,000 soldiers, Marines and airmen to Thailand, sup ported by Marine and Air Force jets. The infantrymen were posted in northeast Thailand, in position to defend the border against the Pathet Lao, which had broken a truce and driven Royal Laotian troops from northern Laos.

An Air Force spokesman said a squadron of F100 Supersabre fighter bombers, perhaps 18 planes, has been maintained in Thailand since that 1962 threat. Otherwise, there are no U. S. combat forces in Thailand.
