Newspaper Page Text2A Tuesday, February 21, 1961 Register-Guard, Eugene, Oregon U.S. Proposal Backs Neutrality of Laos ' By SPENCER DAVIS , ' , , , Of tile Associated Preu WASHINGTON Wl The United States is ready to submit all future aid to the royal Laos government to the screening of neutral nations' watchdog commission. This evidence of full U.S. support for a genuinely neutral Laos was made known Tuesday by authoritative government sources. They said the offer had been transmitted to King Savane Vat thana of Laos, the Soviet Union and neutral nations in Southeast Asia. The king has called for the neutrality of Laos. If the neutral government of Laos decided to accept Commu nlst aid, diplomatic sources said it would be expected that such aid I also would be subject to screen- Morse Raps Colonialism WASHINGTON Wl-Scn. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., said Monday "the United States branded itself as a supporter of colonalism" by its voting record at the United Na tions General Assembly last falL He blamed this on the influ ence of the Pentagon and some U.S. allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) particularly Great Birtain. Morse, a member of the U.S delegation, submitted a detailed report to the Senate Foreign Re lations Committee on his assign- ment to the trusteeship commit tee of the assembly. He said he regretted to report that on the major issues involv ing colonialism, "the U.S. delega tion was directed by our State Department to side with the colo nial powers, and against the pro posals to end colonalism. This opposition customarily took the form of an abstention from voting, which on these is sues still amounts to placing the United States on the side of the colonial powers." Morse called this very costly . to U.S. standing and prestige within the U.N. He said it must be changed at the next General Assembly session "if we are to have any hope of winning the confidence and goodwill of the many non-Communist, neutral and uncommitted nations. , ." "This record was especially un fortunate because- it contrasted sharply with our opposition to the Communist brand of colo nialism," he added. Morse said he suspects that "in the background of many wrong votes by the United States on anti-colonial resolutions there ex ists a supported military need for base or a missile tracking sta tion." "There is a growing reaction in many parts of the world that American foreign policy is dic tated too much by the military policies of toe Pentagon," , he said. "I share that fear." Projects OK'd At Willamette PORTLAND (UPI) The Wil lamette University Board of Trus tees meeting at First Methodist Church here Monday approved campus projects totaling nearly $100,000. The board authorized develop ment of a new intramural play ing field and four new tennis courts in the new South Campus area. . ' . The area is -to be named for Dr. Frank Brown, first athletic director f the school. The im provements will be financed from the university's share in Dr, 1 Brown's estate, estimated to be more than $300,000. Board charges will be raised $20 per student a semester next year, the board said. The boost would meet increased charges in a new contract with Saga, a food service firm which handles all dormitory meals. Astoria Woman Killed in Mishap ASTORIA MV-A car struck and killed Mrs. Susan Allen, 76, of Astoria, as she walked across a street in the rain here late Mon day night The driver of the car, Earl Byron Stoner, 32, Astoria," was quoted by police as saying the woman loomed suddenly in front of him and that he tried to swerve the auto but was unable to avoid hitting her. Police said Mrs. Allen, who was wearing dark clothing, was dead on arrival at a hospital. It was Oregon's 63rd traffic fa tality of the year, and the inth in February, in the Associated Press tabulation. ing by the Neutral Nations Com mission. The U.S. action was discussed by Secretary of State Dean Rusk in a 30-minute meeting Monday night with Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Menshikov. Rusk gave Menshikov a trans lation of King Savan's message proclaiming that Laos "will not join in any military alliance and will not have on its territory either foreign forces or military oases. CEASE-FIRE NEEDED U.S. officials said the United States would be prepared to with draw its more than 100 military advisers now training the roval army and turn over the job to mllltray experts from neutral countries. This proposal would de pend upon a cease-fire in the fighting between leftist and gov ernment forces and a withdrawal of any foreign military advisers or tecnnlcians now aiding the leftist Pathet Lao. The U.S. decision represented a considered judgment by Presi- aent Kennedy and his top advis ers, officials said. The United States has provided more than $310 million to keen the Laos government afloat since its 1954 Geneva agreement on In dochina. u.a. omciais sam the new Washington position goes farther tnan the United States ever pre viously indicated it would go in an effort to ensure an independ ent and neutral Laos. , Malaya and Burma have indi cated willingness to serve on a watchdog commission. Cambod ia's Prince Norodom Sihanouk has not yet indicated if he would permit Cambodia to serve as chairman. Cambodia adjoins Laos. However, the proposal of King Savang is close to ones Sihanouk himself has made. OFFER WELCOMED U. S. officials said the United States consulted with Cambodia, Burma and Malaya before King Savang Issued his neutrality ap peal last weekend. Britain. France and the Asian members of the Southeast Asia Treaty Or ganization (SEATO) also were consulted. i A British diplomat here wel comed as . "most generous" the American offer to have all of its future aid screened Menshikov told newsmen after his meeting with Rusk that the Soviet Union has always thought Laos should be neutral in accord ance with the 1954 Geneva agreement Menshikov said no agreements or decisions were reached in his conversation with Rusk. "It was a preliminary kind of talk," he said. Season's Heaviest Snowfall Hits Southwest Br (SOCIATEO PRESS The season's most severe snow storm hit the plains of west Tex as and southwest New Mexico Monday, isolating some communi ties and causing widespread traf fic tieups. Flood waters from swollen riv ers and streams menaced areas in Iowa, Mississippi, - Pennsyl vania, Alabama, Virginia, Mary land and Florida. The Southwest snowstorm erupted in freezing temperatures as rain splashed across most of Texas eastward in warm air to the Atlantic Coast. In Texas, up to 20 inches of snow fell in the small town of Clauene, near Levelland, where the snow depth was 19 inches. Scores of children were rescued from seven school buses which stalled in the Levelland area. Lubbock, a city of 128,691, was virtually paralyzed by a foot of snow and Lovington, N. M., was stranded by a 16-inch fall. Visibility was reported near zero during the height of the storm. . Snow mixed with rain fell dur ing the morning In Lubbock, with temperatures at freezing. Fifty students and 13 teachers, were forced to spend the night in a school in nearby Woolfortb. Roads were virtually Impassable. Two traffic deaths in the Lub bock area were blamed on the storm. Other heavy snowfalls in Texas included 13 inches in Plains, 14 in Denver City and 10 in Morton. In Hobbs, N.M., the fall measured 9 inches. .Early thaws of heavy snows and recent heavy rains overflowed many streams in the East, South and Midwest The swollen, Allegheny River, carrying a 15-mile-long ice gorge, crested well below flood stage in Pittsburgh Monday night. The gorge appeared to be thinning out as it moved downstream. The Allegheny reached the 21.5-foot level and then began falling. Flood stage in Pittsburgh is 25 feet Ice jams also threatened flood ing on the Des Moines River up stream from Ottumwa, Iowa. Thousands of acres of land were under water in Calhoun and Chickasaw counties in Mississip pi, hit by 10 inches of rain in three days. The lower Potomac River was near flood stage north of Wash ington, D.C., due to the melting of heavy snow in Virginia and Maryland. Minor overflows were reported on the James River near Richmond. Several streams in Alabama have risen as much as 30 feet in three days. Rain and storms raked areas in the South Monday night. Small tornadoes damaged a few build ings and uprooted trees in scat tered areas of Mississippi and Marengo County, .Ala The rain belt spread into the Ohio Valley and middle Atlantic Coast states.
