Current Laos Dividing Line Acceptable to U S
President Kennedy said a cease-fire in Laos should be worked out along the existing line between government and Pathet Lao forces. He noted a withdrawal toward the previous line would be preferred, but peace along the current line is essential. The Pathet Lao have advanced to control about two thirds of Laos. The US pressures the royal government toward coalition talks as the objective of policy. Nearly 300 newsmen attended Kennedy's 33rd news conference.

Carpenter's Aurora 7 Flight Delayed To Check Parachutes
The Aurora 7 orbital flight of Navy Lt. Cmdr. Malcolm Scott Carpenter is postponed to Tuesday to upgrade parachute deployment reliability after lessons from John Glenn's three orbit flight. A second aneroid barometer switch will ensure the stabilizing parachute deploys at 21 000 feet, with the main chute at 10 000 feet. A Nairobi crash killed 14 Air Force technicians supporting recovery ops, but NASA says the delay won’t affect Carpenter’s plan.
