In a note to Britain, the Soviet Union requested revival of the 1954 Geneva control commission to consider the situation in Laos. Britain and the Soviet Union are cochairmen of the Geneva confer ence. The note, broadcast by the Mos cow radio, reiterated Soviet insis tence that the fighting in Laos is caused by U.S. interference, al though the Soviet Union has open ly been flying arms to leftist forces fighting the pro-Western re gime of Prince Boun Oum, the premier; and Gen. Phoumi No savan. U.S. Pours Millions The United States has poured millions of dollars into Laos, es pecially military aid to defend its independence and to help wage the six-year-old war against the pro-Communist Pathet Lao guer rillas. This aid has continued since Phoumi's soldiers captured Vientiane, the capital, from left ist forces. The note added that the Soviet government fully shares the con cern of Prime Minister Nehru of India with developments in the Asian kingdom. Asks True Commission Nehru has suggested recalling a three-nation truce commission lo try to halt civil war. Lord Home, British foreiun secretary, announced earlier this week lie had called Nehru's suggestion to the attention of Moscow. The Soviet Union does not rec osnize Bonn Gum and made this clear in ils note. It relerred to Prince Souvanna Phouma, the neutralist premier, and his Cab inet as the lawful government of Laos. Phouma fled to Cambodia Dec. 9 at the height of the struggle between pro-Com;nunist and anti- Commiuiist forces, . . Cynical Maneuver (In Washington, officials said privately the Soviet note to Brit am seemed to be a cnical dip lomatic maneuver designed to promote the Soviet's propaganda I campaign against the United I States. They noted that the call ed Slates has repeatedly chagred ! the Soviet Union with using sub- version and rebellion in efforts to destroy the independence of Laos. ) Cook Says Crosby Not Child's Father LOS AN'GKLES (AP) A chef says he, rather than crooner Bum Crosby's son Dennis, may have fathered divorcee Marilyn Miller Scott s daughter.

This is the beauty that is made even more beautiful by the eyes of those whose young minds can clearly intermingle the solemn spirit of the birth of Christ with the rollicking laughter of Santo Claus and whose 'hearts have not yet learned the dispair that con come with the feelings cf doubt that eventually creep into many minds. The two Roseburg youngsters who see this tree as the symbol of both the Christ they have learned of in Sunday School and the Santo who'll bring them presents on the birthday of that Christ are Brad Christensen, 5, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Christensen, 1452 SE Lane Ave., and Beck Ann Brown, 4, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Al Brown 715 SE Terrace Ave. (Chris Photo) Reds.
