King condemns
Laos generals
who staged coup
VIETIANE, Laos (UPI) King
Savang Vathana has condemned
the right-wing generals' coup
and demanded the return of
neutralist Premier Souvanna
Phouma to power, It was re
ported today.
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.
Under Guard
The generals returned Souvan
na to his residence after the
trip to Luang Prabang and put
him under guard again. Troops
refused to allow Western diplo
mats to enter his villa.
U. S. 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.
Aitam said there had been no
new pro-Communist attacks as
a result of the coup.
Join In Talks
Gen. Kouprasith, who headed
the takeover, his No. 2 man, Po
lice Chief Gen. Siho, and Gen.
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.
The generals first announced
that Souvanna had resigned as
premier, then, under pressure
from the United States, Britain
and France, were reported to
have reversed themselves.

INDIANAPOLIS! 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

"The administration has jug

dangerous nonsense."

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."

Brazilians may
break off its
ties with Cuba
BRASILIA (UPI) - Foreign
Minister Vasco Leitao da Cunha
says Brazil's new anti-Communist
government may break off
relations with Cuba.
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."
As for Cuban Premier Fidel
Castro's charge that the ouster
of Goulart was engineered by
the United States, Leitao said
All lies... the usual language
of my bearded friend."
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. Ven
ezuela has refused to recognize
the new Brazilian government.
Leitao said non-recognition of
the Brazilian regime resulted
from "non-comprehension on
Venezuela's part."
"They (Venezuelan otticiais)
appear to be completely igno
rant of what Is happening in
Brazil," he said.

Joan Merriam said to
day she plans to go ahead with
the 1,500-mile hop to Guam on
her around-the-world solo flight
despite some reports of bad
weather along the route.
Miss Merriam was following

China reinforces its border with Russia
LONDON (UPI) - Commun-i
1st China today was reported to
have sent reinforcements to Its
berder with the Soviet Union In
Central Asia, where frontier in
cidents have been frequent in
recent months.
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

Russia In Asia, and has hinted
it might claim Far Eastern por
tions of the Soviet Union, in
cluding the Vladivostok naval
base.
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.
