officials said Friday there is some evidence that Moscow may give its answer to an American-backed British proposal for a cease--fire in Laos within the next three days.

Officials disclosed for the first time that Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Menshikov told Kennedy nearly three weeks ago that the Soviet Union would reply in three days to Britain's ceasefire call. The three days passed without an answer. Officials here believe there are two possible explanations: 1. That a deliberate stalling operation is under way to allow tfta Communist-led Pathet Lao forces to expand their position in Laos. 2.

That the Soviet Union has run into difficulty with Communist China on agreeing to a ceasefire before a conference is convened. The Chinese are reported insisting that the Communist ground forces should push their present advantage as hard as possible on the theory that the United States would not dare to intervene.

Landing on both feet, even without tumbling, he walked up to the people who saw him first." Gurovsky, a biologist, is senior researcher of an Institute of the Soviet Academy of Science. Tass said Gagarin Janded on a collective farm, and added: Tractor driver Ivan Rudenko, working near his field station, saw the landing. saw well the landing of the space ship. He said the cosmonaut parachuted down close to where he was." "My comrades and I ran out to meet him." Rudenko said.

The evacuation wrote off as a failure one of the most spectacular operations of the civil war the April 5 air drop interpreted by Westerners as a warning to the Pathet Lao that government forces still were powerful despite a succession of defeats. Young American civilian pilots flying U. helicopters plucked the red-bereted paratroopers from a valley northwest of Muong Kassy Thursday and took them to the royal capital of Luang Prabang, The paratroopers had been dropped near the north-south highway between Luang Prabang and the administrative capital of Vientiane to counter paratroopers the Pathet Lao had thrown into the fight April 3 for royal military headquarters at Vang Vieng. Government officials claimed their paratroopers had accomplished their mission of the rebel drive southward.

But earlier this week Moscow radio reported the government paratroopers were encircled. It was reliably reported in Vientiane that the evacuation finally was forced by the failure of Gen. Boun Leuth. government commander in chief based in Luang Prabang. to commit infantry from the north to support the paratroopers and outflank Pathet Lao units.

Richards said. There has bees no compromise with safety." He said efforts to picture tempered glass as unsafe were part of a driv by retail replacement glass dealers to "create a monopoly for laminated safety glass." He said they couldnt supply tempered glass replacements from large sheets as they can with laminated windows. Proponents of all laminated glass appeared before the tut committee earlier this year. When Richards finished talking. Dr.

Joseph D. Ryan of the Lib-bey-Owens-Ford Glass Larry Keira of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass and Ormond I. Rogg of the Ford Motor started smashing glass. First, they cropped an 11-pound shot bag on panes of laminated glass and tempered glass. The laminated glass bellied out and splintered.

There was no effect on the tempered glass. Then they dropped a seven-ounce sharp-nosed steel dart on the two types. The tempered glass shattered into countless tiny pieces and the dart passed through. The laminated glass cracked, but the dart did Dot go through. They also showed either type could be broken with a hammer.

The laminated glass didn't fall into aa many pieces, but the shreds were sharp. The tempered glass broke up completely, but pieces didn't have as sharp edges. Everyone appeared satisfied with the demonstration with the possible exception of committee aides, who looked somewhat appalled at the glass covered floor of their room.
