At the same time, Mrs.

Slaw ton served as a community development leader in a smal West Pakistan village. Slawson met his wife on the day she arrived in Pakistan am married her on the day they both left. Their courtship was fairly unusual by anybody's standards. Slawson's duties in the city ol Daka and his frequent inspection trips to tiny, out-of-the-way villages left little time for visits to Komono District, Mrs. Slawson's headquarters 1,200 miles away.

And Mrs. Slawson's 24-hour-a- day schedule of sanitation and community development projects gave her little time for trips to Daka. "But we were finally married on Dec. 26," said Slawson. Two year's service in the sunbaked villages of.a sweltering Asian nation would hold little attraction to most people.

Votes Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller opened another presidential campaign swing through New Hampshire today with a verbal swipe at Sen.

Barry Goldwater. The two leading Republican contenders in the state's first-in- the nation 1964 primary disagree on importance of the primary. Rockefeller, soon after arriving at Pease AFB, issued a statement in Dover criticizing Goldwater's opinion that the March 10 results will be unimportant. "It Is very important because it is the first opportunity or the people, not only in New Hampshire but throughout the country, to learn where the various candidates stand on the mportant issues of the day," he said. Rockefeller's arrival at Pease was about a half-hour behind schedule.

After brief greeting here for Air Force personnel and some supporters, he left immediately for a day of cam- jaigning in Stratford and Rock- ngham Counties. His schedule called for a 3-4 coffee hour at Rye Town Hall. This three-day Granite State swing by Rockefeller includes 27 activities in nearly as many different towns and cities by Friday night.

By EDWIN TETLOW London Daily Telegraph KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) Fidel Castro only pinpricked the Americans but dealt himself out of precious U.S. dollars with his water cutoff of the naval base at Guantanamo Bay hi eastern Cuba. Water facilities at the U.S. base were almost back to normal only seven days after Castro turned off the taps in retaliation for the seizure of Cuban fishermen charged with fishing inside Florida waters. By improvisation and with abundant help from Jamaica, the Americans now have enough water for everything except washing cars, watering lawns or wasteful uses.

Abandoned was the strict rationing that gave them water only three times a day for periods of one hour each hi the first days of the crisis. Castro's action deprived him of $14,000 a month under a contract for the water. The speed with which he had been cashing this regular American check testified to the pinch caused by the shortage of U.S. currency. It appears that the Americans are not going to use Castro's water again even if it should be offered.

The plan is to make the base completely self-sufficient. Millions of gallons of water had been stored at Guantanamo for just such an emergency. The American community of 10,000 persons, including 2,500 women and children, was prepared when Castro cut the pipeline from the Yateras River five miles away. More than a week's supply was on hand when the water was cut off and more water is on the way from Jamaica and the United States.

Previously, his New Hampshire visits were mixed with trips to other states in which he is competing in primaries --California and Oregon. Rockefeller was asked last night at a news conference in New York whether he agreed with those who contend the New Hampshire primary i be meaningless because of large number of entrants. The governor replied: "To those who lose, that probably will be the conclusion.

But to the ones who win, it is going to be a very significant primary." lis week's visit --and a five day swing planned next week will offer Rockefeller ample opportunity to reply to a new charge of his chief declared opponent, Sen.

Jones of 221 Circuit Road, Portsmouth, today, as Rockefeller arrived at Pease AFB to open a three-day campaign swing through the state. The School Board did an about-face last night and voted to allow a "hot lunch" progi-am in a pro' posed addition to Pease Elementary School. Reversing its earlier policy of refusing cafeteria facilities for the city's elementary schools, the board voted 9-2 to approve construction of a cafeteria in tha new addition--but amended its approval of the Peasa proposal to exclude construction of a second cafeteria in the present elementary school building. The vote came after a stormy session In which the board voiced its determination to "sit here until we arrive at a decision." Raimond Bowles tried to withdraw an earlier motion, requesting acceptance of the Pease proposal for two cafeterias, but Mrs. Eileen Foley refused to withdraw her "second" on the motion.

741-UN FOYE'S On Tht Portsmouth CLOSED FOR VACATIONS Will Re-Open Monday, February 17th Mrs. Foley said she thought 11 was high time the School Board approved the proposal. Another request by Bowles, 'or a 'closed door session to discuss the Pease cafeteria question, brought a quick retort from chairman, John W. Durgin "There won't be any executive session as long as I'm chairman of this board!" Several board members said they had heard nothing new to warrant further discussion of the matter and voiced opinion that the whole controversy was way out of proportion to its worth. "What we should really be concerned about is the education of the children," said one member.

Wyman P. Boynton brought the whole matter to a head. Said Boynton: "I don't like the site that Pease is proposing for the new addition. In this day and age, children should walk to school and the new addition is loo far for them to walk. "But since it's the only site possible and since we've got to provide additional facilities for these children, I think we'll have to build a cafeteria for them."
