New Korea May Be Brewing in SE Asian Kingdom Of Laos By RONALD P. KRISS UPI SUM Writer TOKYO UPI i Is a new Korea brewing in the pivotal Soul I least Asian Kingdom of Laos? All the elements are there. Pro-Communist rebels, anywhere from 600 to 4.000 of them, are waging guerrilla warfare in the wild mountains of the northern provinces. Government paratroopers are trying, without much luck so far to ferret them out and capture them. Red China and North Viet Nam are making thinly masked threats of intervention and hint ing that they will dispatch "vol unteers." The Laotian govern ment charges that North Viet Nam already is channeling arms and men across the border into Laos. Nevertheless, most observers doubt that an all-out war will erupt in the landlocked kingdom. They see the current flareup as part of a Red pressure campaign to persuade the pro-Western gov ernment of Prime Minister Phoui Roseburg Blast Hearing Begins ROSEBURG I UPI I A precedent-setting three day hearing conducted by the Interstate Com merce Commission, opened here today in an investigation of the Aug. 7 Roseburg explosion and fire. The fact-finding probe is aimed at the determination of what new regulations are necessary to avoid this type disaster in the future. Rupert L. Murphy, ICC com missioner from Washington, D.C., presided over the hearing. The hearing is believed to be the first ever held by the federal agency in connection with a motor-carrier disaster of this type.

But these observers are s'ill nervous, for a flare-up in Laos could touch off other, bisger explosions in the tinder box of Southeast Asia. Laos is in the heart of this strategic area, an accident of geography that has caused noth ing but trouble (or the little kingdom for the last 12 centuries. i-is hemmed in by two fierce ly Communist nations China aid Nwtb Viet Nam; two fiercely aoti-Communist nations Thai land and South Viet Nam; and a'tfa'r of neutrals Burma and Cambodia. IThe nation, shaped something like a barbell and only 89.000 square miles in area, has been invaded at one time or another by all these neighbors. Thais, Cambodians, Burmese, Vietnam ese and Chinese all had a crack at it from the eighth century on. Late in the 19th century, how ever, the French took over and made it part of their Indochinesc empire. Laos won indenendence in 1949 as a constitutional monarchy within the French Union, but its troubles were far from over. The Communists were yet to be heard from. Throughout most of the Indo china War there was little fight ing in Laos. The nation's rugged terrain high mountains with deep gorges carved out by trib utaries of the Mekong River made it unsuitable for la-ge-scale engagements. But in 1953 the Communists decided to lop off the northern tier of Laos for themselves. They found this wild geography ideally suited to the type of guerilla warfare for which they were trained. An army of Laotians trained ' 3 Kan. Old ways are still good 12-inch walking plow in 1912. ia North Viet Nam swarmed across the border into I-aos. seized the provinces of Pho.ng saly and Samneua and hung on to them after the Geneva agree ments ended the Indochina war in 1954. With Communists running two of the northern provinces and Communist nations occupying 020 miles of common border, Laos had little choice in the direction of its international politics. Explosion Inevitable As long as the government in Vientiane, the capital, main tained a policy of docile neutral ity, somewhat tinged by Red, it was reasonably safe. The mo ment it abandoned that neutral ity and began leaning toward the West the fuse was lit and some sort of explosion was inevitable A year ago, Sananikone came to power and tilted his nation toward the West. He was alarm ed at the inroads the Commu nists were making in the govern ment and decided to root them out. The explosion has followed Reports coming from the northern provinces are sketchy, but they indicate that the rebels are wag ing classic guerrilla warfare, seizing an outpost here and a radio station there, burning them and fleeing into the mountains as soon as loyalist troops approach. The Laotian government says it wants nobody to intervene ex cept, perhaps, for the United Nations. Laos' Communist neighbors, China and North Viet Nam, are howling for anybody and every body to get Into the act, except for the United Nations. - Hanoi and Peiping already have urged the Soviet Union. Britain, India. Indonesia, Cambodia and Burma to send missions to Laos to investigate the situation. La Grande Observer , Established 1898 Entered Second Cl Matter at the Poat Office of La Orana.
