In a dispatch from Washington, the Soviet news agency Tass accused the United States of plans for new military actions in Southeast Asia, which hold nothing in store but scandalous failures. From Laos came a report that right-wing troops were on the move in the Mekong River area about 90 miles northeast of Vientiane and had regained some territory from the Pathet Lao near the town of Muong Huong.

MAN FOUND DEAD BELIEVED SUICIDE An apparent self inflicted wound was cited by city police Wednesday as the cause of death of Fred Morrison, 57, who was found dead in his home at 2416 Lafayette by a neighbor. Reports by another neighbor, Steven Clark, a barber at 2401 Lafayette of hearing several gunshots early in the day, led police to theorize the death occurred at about 8:30 a.m.

Morrison was found by Frank Cade, 2410 Lafayette when he went to the home at about 12:30 p.m., to give him a telephone message from his wife. Investigating police officers said they found a .12 gauge shotgun lying by Morrison, which had apparently been fired six times. Five blasts had been fired into the ceiling of the Morrison home, they said. Surviving with the widow, Thelma, are: a daughter, Mrs. Mary Lou Scully, Terre Haute; a son, Jack, of Marshall, a brother, William, of Tarpon Springs, three sisters, Mrs.
