Laos to
Geneva Pact
By PETER ARNETT
Of the Associated Press
VIENTIANE, Laos Pro-Communist Prince Souphanouvong
will take temporary command of Laos' new coalition government
late this month.
Neutralist Prince Souvanna Phnuma, premier designate of
the new government, said Tuesday he and right-wing leader
Gen. Phoumi Nosavan will be in Europe at the same time. During
their absence, he said, "the whole burden n state affairs will
fall on Souphanouvong."
Phoumi, like Souphanouvong slated to become a deputy pre
mier, will lead a Cabinet delegation to Switzerland June 24 or
25 to ratify the 14-nation Geneva agreement on Laos pledging

Presidential
Vote Results
LIMA, Peru (DPI) Police
armed with submachine guns
patrolled the streets here Tucs
day night, alert for violence
arising from uncertainty over
the outcome of Sunday s presi-
riential election. No trouble was
reported.
All three of the principal prcs
idential candidates middle-of-the-roader
Fernando Belaunde
Terry, moderate leftist Victor R.
Haya de la Torre and rightist
ex-President Manuel Odria
claimed victory in the vote.
Most of what impartial in
formation there was appeared
to support Belaunde's claim of
victory. The independent news
paper La Prensa, however, re-
ported Wednesday that Haya
was ahead with S70.600 voles to
.166,800 for Belaunde and 487,
250 for Odria. These figures
gave Haya about 35 per cent
of the total vote, a safe mar
gin over the 33 per cent need
ed to insure election.
If none of the three leading
candidates receives a third of
the vote, Congress will choose
a president from among them.
Official vote-counting did not
begin until Tuesday, and it was
reported proceeding slowly. The
official results of the election
will not be known for days.

Souvanna said he is going tn
France to attend the wedding of
his daughter.
Just what powers Souphanou
vong will be able to wield while
running Laos was not clear. The
bulk of the Cabinet posts are in
vested in neutralists, and the
coalition agreement stipulates
that all decisions related to the
ministries of defense, interior
and foreign affairs must have
the unanimous agreement of the
Ihrce faction leaders Souvan
na, Souphanouvong and Phou
mi.
Pressure Welcomed
Souvanna, Sou phanouvong's
half brother and ally in pre
coalition maneuvering, wel
comed the American pressure
that forced the right-wing Vien
tiane regime lo give way to the
coalition. But Souphanouvong
has shown no softening in his
anti-American position.
The next step In what the
United States hopes will take
Laos out of the cold war will
be for Souvanna to present the
new government to King Sav-
ang Vathana. He plans In do
this in the royal capital of Lu
ang Prabang Monday.
Prince Bnun Oum, the prime
minister of the. pro-Western

Obstacle to Space
Soviet Cites Solar Menace
By JOSEPH L. MYLER

WASHINGTON A Soviet sci
entist warns that the Sun may
be firing deadly nuclear bullets
hroadsidc at any astronauts who
try to visit the Moon from 1968
through 1970.
This is precisely the period
in which the United States hopes
tn land three-man Apollo crews
on the Moon and bring them
safely home again.
A spokesman said the Nation
al Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration (NASA) was well
aware of the solar menace to
space travel mentioned by the
Russian scientist, Prof. G. Pok
rovskiy of Moscow.
NASA, the spokesman said,
hopes means of forecasting so
lar bombardments, and thus
avoiding them, may he found
before the first Apollo crews
are sent into orbit around the
Moon in 1966.

On Test Run
EDWARDS AIR FORCE
BASE, Calif. X15 Pilot Bob
White, testing a new control
system 34 miles above the earth,
says that for the first time he
saw whiffs of steam from tiny
jets that stabilize the rocket
plane in space.
"I don't know why the jets
should be visible," the Air Force
major said after the flight Tues
day. "Perhaps there is more
air, more moisture at that alti
tude than we have thought."
Scientists have stated that the
atmosphere, for all practical
purposes, ends at about 90,000
feet. In the near vacuum ex
pected above that altitude, the
hydrogen peroxide steam from
the jets should disintegrate be
fore it can condense into visible
vapor.
The X15 has exceeded 80,000
feet on more than 20 flights.
None of the pilots, however, had
reported seeing the exhaust
from the peroxide jets, similar
to the ones that stabilize Mer
cury astronaut capsules in orbit.
In two of the three X15s, the
jets must be operated manually.
The advanced model flown Tues
day has a system that makes
their control almost automatic.
White said the new system
will simplify the pilot's job
when the X15 tries for a 400,000
foot altitude later this year.
White's flight, starting 218
miles north of here in Nevada,
lasted 10 minutes.
The XI 5 reached an altitude
of 130,000 feet and a speed of
3,545 miles an hour Tuesday. It
previously has gone to 246,000
feet and 4,093 m.p.h.

Youth Listed AWOL
Korea Reds Claim
GI on Their Side
SEOUL, South Korea lift
Pyongyang radio says an Ameri
can solider has taken refuge in
Communist North Korea and
likes what he has seen "peo
ple leading free, happy and
peaceful lives."
The soldier was identified as
Pvt. Larry A. Abshier, 18, of
Cleveland, Ohio. The U. S. Army
said he apparently was the first
American defector to the Reds
in Korea since the end of the
Korean War.
Red Carpet Reception
Abshier, serving with a recon
naissance squadron along the ar
mistice line, was last seen run
ning across the no man's land
toward the north on May 28. He
ignored calls to turn back.
The North Koreans said they
gave the young GI a red carpet
reception, taking him to the
capital of Pyongyang and other
cities.
Pyongyang radio quoted Ab
shier as saying he was fed up
with the "doings of the U. S.
Army in South Korea" and call
ing on American troops to "op
pose the war machinations of
the American rulers and de
mand that they be returned to
their homeland at once."
The youth's father, George,
told of the comments attributed
to his son. expressed doubt that
I his son actually made the state
j ments. The elder Abshier said
his son had written a few
months ago that he liked the
Army and was considering mak
ing the Army a career.
Father Doubtful
Contacted at his home In Gar
field Heights, a Cleveland su
burb, the father told newsmen
the language used in the state
ment didn't sound like his son's
vocabulary.
Abshier has served in Korea

after he joined the Army in

The Pyongyang broadcast said
Abshier was surprised at what
he found in North Korea.
U. S. Army authorities in
Seoul had no comment on
Abshier's purported remarks.
He was officially listed as still
AWOL absent without leave.
Normally, a soldier is not con
sidered a deserter until he has
been missing a month.
U.N. Faces
Fund Crisis
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. OPI
The United Nations may have
to borrow up to $3 million with
in the next 10 days to meet ex
penses for its emergency force
in the Congo and Middle East
and its routine operations, offi
cials said Wednesday.
They said, however, that the
United Nations hopes to avoid
such borrowing by the sale of
U.N. bonds and the receipt of
new governmental contribu
tions. Officials said the U.N. cash
position is much better than it
was at this time last year be
cause eight countries already
have purchased $20,870,000 of
the $200 million bond issue au
thorized by the General Assem
