Reliable sources said the king made his position known in talks Monday with Souvanna, who was accompanied to the royal Capital of Luang Prabang by the two coup leaders, Gen. Kouprasith Abhay and Gen. Slho Lanphouthacoul. The sources said the king suf fered to meet the leader of the third Laotian faction, "Red Prince" Souphanouvong, who controls strong pro-Communist forces, to prevent civil war from breaking out. Souvanna's status in the gov ernment was unclear today. There were no signs the coup had collapsed, despite reports Monday that the generals had reversed themselves after de posing Souvanna.

Ambassador Leonard linger clung to a fence to shout words of encouragement to Sou vanna when he appeared on his balcony. Right-wing Col. Aitam con ferred with neutralist military leaders on the Plain of Jars, where their main forces are, and said they were sticking by Souvanna although they agreed "in principle" with the aims of the coup.

Phoumi Nosavan, the leader of the right-wing faction, accom panied Souvanna in his talks with the king. Gen. Phoumi ap parently had not been directly Involved in the coup.

Ind. (UPD- Sen. Barry Goldwater said Mon day nignt tne Jonnson adminis tration has talked "dangerous nonsense" in defending its de fense policies from critics. The Arizona Republican, mak ing his sole appearance in In diana for the May 5 Hoosier pri mary, also praised the "brink manship" of former resident Eisenhower and the firmness of the late President Kennedy in the Cuban missile crisis. He told 5,000 cheering sup porters in the 7,200-seat South port Gymnasium that he may get tne wr presidential nom ination on the first ballot if he can overcome his "last hurdle" Richard M. Nixon. Goldwater said Eisenhower and the late Secretary of State John Foster Dulles showed "strength in their international policies and their brinkman ship" in the crises over For mosa and Lebanon. He praised Kennedy for his action in the buildup of Soviet missiles in Cuba. "In those trying times, through firmness, we came closer to peace," Goldwater said. Goldwater accused the John son administration of "defense mismanagement." He said the administration emphasized U.S. superiority over Russia in the size of the intercontinental bal listic missile arsenal but failed to mention the Russian advan tage In the number of Interme diate range missiles. "The administration has jug gled its figures," he said. "It has stacked the deck. It is talk ing double talk. It is talking dangerous nonsense." Ted Kennedy sets Portland visit PORTLAND (UPI)-Sen.

The cardinal, at times his voice ready to break, bitterly withdrew an alleged letter of endorsement he gave four years ago regarding the Birch society and its founder, Robert Welch of suburban Belmont. "If the statement was made that I endorsed the John Birch Society then I want to retract It. Since 1960 the John Birch Society has gone to extremes that I could never endorse," he said. A spokesman for radio station WNAC said Cardinal Cushing's remarks were prompted by a radio broadcast which originat ed in New York Sunday morn ing during which the moderator asked Scott Stanley Jr., editor of the Birch publication "Ameri can Opinion," said attorney Thomas Davis, a Birch coordi nator, whether there was any religious backing for the organ ization. Stanley reportedly said It had the endorsement of Cardinal Cushing. In answering the allegation, Cardinal Cushing said, "i was never a member of this society. "In view of the extreme state ments and articles printed or approved by this society in re cent years, I could not in con science endorse this organiza tion nor would I be affiliated with it in any way."

In an exclusive Interview Monday, Leitao said Brazil "is studying a possible rupture of diplomatic relations with Cuba." The foreign minister's state ment, made just after his first meeting with Interim President Humberto A. Castelo Branco, in dicated that a change in Bra zil's foreign policy may be in prospect. When Leitao was appointed foreign minister by Provisional President P. Ranieri Mazzilli after the armed forces ousted President Joao Goulart earlier this month, he said Brazil would maintain relations with the Communist world including Cu ba "for the time being."

The foreign minister said Castelo had instructed him to recall Brazil's ambassador from Venezuela, leaving one diplo matic official in that country to maintain consular contact.

The strengthening of the long, remote border coincided with reports that the Soviet-Chinese frontier talks in Peking have run into difficulty, with little prospect of a settlement. The Soviets already have told the Chinese and the world that any major border revision Is out of the question, although minor changes may be dis cussed. But Peking recently has re vived old complaints about the territorial expansion of czarist Swimsuit firms draw fines PORTLAND (UPI) - Fines totaling $68,000 were levied Monday against four women's swimwear manufacturers who had been accused of price fix ing.

The Soviets were understood to have reinforced their side of the border some time ago, charging Peking with 5,000 bor der violations from Sinkiang Province alone. The border quarrel has thrown more light on the seri ousness of the Sino-Sovlet con flict, which now goes far be yond the mere ideological dif ferences between the former Communist Allies. The Peking border talks were initiated at Moscow's suggestion in February. A speech by the Soviet Union's chief theoretician Mikhail Suslov, released in Moscow earlier this month, dis closed that Russia proposed the talks "In the belief that no ter ritorial issues exist between China and the U.S.S.R., that the Soviet-Chinese border took shape historically and that only some sections of the border are concerned where it may be nec essary to describe the frontier with greater precision." Peking, however, has put for ward the idea that "when con ditions are ripe for It" It might stake a claim to important areas cded to Russia under "unequal treaties" during the past century. These include Important por tions of Central Asian parts of Russia, Including southeast Si beria, with Vladivostok and some of its vital Far Eastern Industrial centers.
