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.
