The capture of the 25-mile-long plain 105 miles northeast of Vientiane opens new possibilities for the North Vietnamese and Pathef Lao, giving them a base threatening the royal capital at Luang Pra-bang and other government outposts. Intelligence officers in Vientiane believe their first move will be to consolidate their troops throughout the plain and bring in more supplies from North Vietnam.

You'd be wise to trim your beard, if a man, and, young woman, lower your hemline a little, and please, no see-through blouse. A study by the American Society for Personnel administration and the Bureau of National Affairs Inc. of management and the generation gap offered the advice, which was supported by personnel directors in the Dayton area. "Personal appearance is always a factor you evaluate in interviewing a job applicant," said Donald Biermann at Chrysler Airtemp. "Within propriety, industry has accepted the dress and life style of today.

I think the least objectionable on the men is the sideburns or mustaches." NEARLY four-fifths of the companies surveyed nationally indicated that they would regard a beard on a male applicant as either a reason for not hiring him or at least a negative factor. On the other hand, the same percentage of companies have either no objection to a beard worn by an employe, would object only in extreme cases, or might suggest moderation. E. J. Gray, of Top Value enterprises said, "We don't get that many guys wearing bell bottoms and there have been no see-through blouses that I know of." All of the directors wondered if the see-through blouse were a myth.

Gray said, about beards, "It depends on the job under consideration. If the individual has to create an impression for the company, that is another matter. Most offices also do not want an employe to be distracting to other employes." Richard Holzer of the McCall Printing Co. said, "Some of the guys come in well-groomed with short hair, then might let it grow after they are hired." Most noticeable among men was longer hair and, for women, shorter skirts, he said. FOR FEMALE applicants, nearly three-fifths of the national firms indicate they would turn away the applicant who came in wearing a mini-skirt.

Employers tend to be more tolerant of girls already on the job wearing mini-skirts. But as one Dayton personnel man said, "Who See DRESS, Page 2 MAP LOCATES PLAIN OF JARS Critical Area Now Held by Communists DAYTOX CASE ABC Aide Faces Bribery Charge A former regional manager of the American Broadcasting Co. has been charged with soliciting a bribe from John Kemper, chairman of the board of Kittyhawk Television to obtain the ABC affiliation contract for Channel 16 here. missing. From Saigon came reports from military sources that the United States has diverted its B-52 bomber fleet to the plain for raids against the estimated 16,000 Pathet Lao and Hanoi soldiers who now control it.

The commander in chief of the Laotian armed forces, Maj. Gen. Ouane Rathikoun, said the 1,500 government de-fenders of Xieng Khouang were outnumbered by as much as four to one in the two-hour battle that began at 1:40 a.m. HE SAID "approximately one-third" of the men could not be accounted for after the battle, many of them apparently hiding in the jungle trying to make their way to friendly territory. No government casualties had arrived at the nearest hospital.

Military sources said two North Vietnamese regiments, up to 6,000 men in all, attacked the outpost behind tanks and captured it within two hours. Some of the defenders stayed behind to call in government gunship strikes on their own positions. Two North Vietnamese attempts to capture the base earlier this week, one of them involving tanks, had been thrown back with the help of the U.S.-supplied gunships and American fighter-bombers flying out of Thailand. THERE WERE no immediate reports of direct U.S. involvement in this morning's battle.

The report of B-52 "For example, some of your bigger parishes in Dayton St. Rita, St. Helen, and Immacu-1 a Conception even with three priests Communion can last as long as 15 minutes," the chancery official said. "For a person first in line, it is a long time." MANY parishes with long Communion lines may not have the luxury of three priests and the need for help at the front rail is greater, it was pointed out. Until the rules were relaxed out of need, the precepts of the Catholic religion since the Last Supper of the New Testament held that only ordained priests touched the host before it was swallowed by those of the faith.

Altar boys were schooled not to pick up a falletS Communion host but to guard it until a priest could recover it.

Volunteer Army Urged WASHINGTON (UPI) -President Nixon receives a report today that recommends creation of an all-volunteer armed force in peace time, smaller but more efficient than one composed of draftees. The report has been prepared by the President's com-m i i on an all-volunteer armed force which was set up last March under chairmanship of former Secretary of Defense Thomas Gates. The report is expected to recommend that a volunteer force is feasible if pay is sharply increased up to $200 a month for recruits who now receive $110 and numbers are kept well below current strength levels. THE LOSS in numbers would be made up by an increase in efficiency which is now low because of rapid turnover of short-term and unen-thusiastic draftees, according to the report. During the 1968 presidential campaign, Mr.

Nixon criticized the draft as unfair and said that a volunteer force would be "more than worth" the added cost, unless it proved to be prohibitive. Grand The ABC official, Thomas Sullivan, 43, ws fired Thursday in New York City, according to Manhattan District Attorney Frank S. Hogan. The complaint against Sullivan was made by ABC Vice President Robert Kaufman. IN THE complaint, Kaufman said Sullivan had told Kemper WKTR would have to pay $50,000 to a "consultant" identified as John L.

TODAY, Channel 22 General Manager George Mitchell was mum on whether the ABC pact might be taken away from WKTR in, view of the bribe charges. "Until all the facts are in," he said, "I don't think it would be prudent to say anything." Awarding of the contract to Channel 16 had surprised insiders because Channel 22 had been carrying 70 per cent of the ABC lineup. MEANWHILE, Kemper's at torney in 1 Craig Wright, released a copy of a letter from Kittyhawk to the Federal Communications commission explaining the transfer of money from Kemper to Sullivan.

TAKES OVER HELM FROM YOUNG New Guard Steps Out Front of Old Party By JOHN THOMAS, Daily News Staff Writer The man who took control of the Montgomery county Republican party organization in 1949 without knowing the difference between a ward and a precinct stepped down Friday night, handing a smooth-running machine to a man he describes as "smart as hell." Charles Ross, a patent attorney who directed U.S. Rep. Charles W.

Whalen two successful campaigns, is the new county GOP chairman, succeeding Howard G. Young, 58, president of Davies-Young Soap Co. IF ROSS is able to carry out his personal political philosophy, it may be tough to tell any difference in the leadership. "I'm of the Ray Bliss school," says Ross. "That philosophy holds that it's the Republican party first, regardless of the candidate." The same philosophy has been used by Young, who has always insisted the reason many Republicans in a Democratic county have been successful is because the party offers better candidates.

Ross' selection as the new party chairman came as 100 members of the executive committee and officeholders met at party headquarters. THERE WERE NO other candidates. A 12-man advisory committee, headed by Miamisburg Atty. Russell Yeazell, met this week to consider Ross as Young's successor. "It would make life much easier not to become party chairman," Ross said.

"It Is a challenge. I think you owe something to the party, and I hope to strengthen it." Ross assumes his new post immediately. Young was given a seat on the executive committee. Young said he will also retain his seat on the Montgomery county board of elections. His turn on the board expires in 1972.

Young said there were two reasons he stepped down after 21 years. ONE REASON is personal. The other is that I believe it's time to turn the party over to a younger man, a man with new ideas, a new way of doing things. "Charles Ross is going to be an excellent chairman and the party is lucky to have hira." Young, who says he didn't know a ward from a precinct when he took over in 1949, counts the 1952 and 1968 elections as high points in his political career. In those two years, the Republicans gained control of the courthouse and sent a majority to the state Legislature.

YOUNG TOOK over a party $600 in debt in 1949, and leaves it financially healthy, "although we're not as rich as the Democrats," he says. "I'll do whatever Chuck wants me too," Young said when asked how he would function in the party in the future. The only serious challenge Young faced to his leadership was in 1952, when a bitter precinct-level battle was waged. He won that battle handily. Two firsts were marked up during the Young years.

In 1952, after being unsuccessful in 1950, Young convinced the party to endorse candidates in the primary. He credits that policy with being able to attract good candidates. IN THE SAME year, the Republicans for the first time used television to present their candidates. The Democrats didn't, he said, because they didn't have the candidates. He counts the most enjoyable aspects of his job the contacts and friends he's gained during his tenure.

Young doesn't leave completely happy, however. "The only thing that's made me mad is that this Howard E. Young is running against James Pippenger in the 86th district and trying to win on my name," he said. Young, who the retiring chairman said is trying to capitalize on his name, is running against Pippenger, who is the incumbent representative in the 86th. Young said he would campaign for Pippenqer, and hopes "that everyone in the 86th who sees Howard Young's name on the ballot will vote against him (Young)." A 1.
