U.S. Policy Makers Confer On Southeast Asia Strategy
HONOLULU—(UPI) —America's top policy makers met today in a top-secret conference room overlooking Pearl Harbor to chart a new and unified diplomatic and military course in Southeast Asia.
The meeting was the first since the overthrow of the Ngo Dinh Diem regime in South Vietnam—and was also the first to include the senior spokesmen for the White House and the defense and state departments.
There was speculation here that inclusion of the three spokesmen at the meeting was an indication of
concern in the Kennedy administration about previous conflicting reports and predictions on the war in South Viet Nam.
ON HAND FOR the talks were the men immediately responsible for implementing U.S. policy in the area, as well as those who must insure that it coincided with America's global strategy.
This was the third such meeting here at intervals of about six months, but the two previous meetings had a less distinguished roster of participants.
Band, Queen Candidates Chosen for Military Ball
The band and six queen candidates have been chosen for the annual tri-service military ball which will be Dec. 6 in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
The band chosen is the Airmen of Note, the official dance orchestra of the United States Air Force. This 15-piece band is directed by Lt. Johnny Oseekee and was organized in 1950 to carry on the tradition of the Glenn Miller Army-Air Force band.

Kansas City, Mo., junior; Sue Morrison, Wichita sophomore; Sharon Rogers, Prairie Village sophomore; Karen Schwartz, Pratt junior, and Judy Fraser, Larned senior.
The military ball is the annual project of Scabbard and Blade, a tri-service military honor society.
Judges of the queen will be Henry Shenk, professor of physical education; Carl Fahrbach, assistant director of admissions; Kenneth Anderson, dean of the School of Education; Rutsy Springer, Lawrence mayor; and Chester Jones, president of the Douglas County State Bank.
Today's meeting included every top man in the Kennedy administration, with the exception of the President himself.
In from South Viet Nam were U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge and the Chief U.S. Military adviser, Gen. Paul D. Harkins.

AND THERE WERE Roger Hillsman, deputy secretary of state for far Eastern affairs, and David E.Bell, international development administrator.
Host for the one-day conference was Adm. Harry D. Felt, commander in chief of Pacific forces.
