Cold War Turning Hot in Laos, Strategic Southeast Asia Point Tokyo -TCPD-The cold war is taming hot in the tiny king dom of Laos, strategic heart of Southeast Asia. it could turn red-hot in a moment, or even explode. For Laos has become a miniature cockpit in which the forces making for tension in Asia are in direct open conflict, American-armed troops of the Royal Laotian Army are battling in the remote, moun tainous north with Commu nist rebels who are armed by Communist China and North Viet Nam. Not many men are Invol ved, probably fewer than 2, 000, but this makes the situ ation no less explosive. -Laos Is Dead Canter Land-locked Laos is virtual ly in the dead center of South east Asia. The borders of this 88,000 - square -mile nation touch on Red China and North Viet Nam, neutralist Burma and Cambodia and pro-West ern Thailand and South Viet Nam. For 620 uneasy miles it shares its border with Red China and North- Viet Nam. And, by no coincidence, it is along these borders in the northern provinces that red rebels are now fighting with government troops. The rebels, at least 600 strong, are remnants of a Communist army that swarm ed across the North Viet Nam ese border into Laos in the closing days of the Indochin ese war. Seized Provinces in 1954 Since then, the government has been trying to absorb the Communist Lao troops and Neo Lao Hakxat politicians without being swallowed it self. This attempt has kept Laos simmering for five years, and it is impossible to say wheth er the situation will finally come to a boil -now. It might. Pro - Western Prime Minister Phoui Sanan ikone has cracked down on the Reds as no -other Laotian leader has before him. The Communists, who feel Sanai kone is driving them to the wall, may be attacking in the northern provinces in the be ginning of a last stand. The current crisis grew out of an agreement reached in November 1957 by two half brothers Neutralist Prince Souvanna Phouma, the pre mier, and pro - Communist Prince Souphanouvong, a su ave, mustached man with great popular appeal. Plan To Integrate They worked out a plan to integrate the 6,000-man Path et Lao army with the 25,000 man Royal Loatian army and to bring Communist Neo Lao Hakxat : party members into the government. The tide quickly began run ning strong for the Commu nists. It looked as if Laos would have a Communist gov ernment by 1960, when the next general elections were scheduled. But a government shakeup in August 1958 stemmed the tide and began turning it against the Reds. Sanaikone, who had no faith in any coalition govern ment that included Commu nists, became premier. He moved swiftly to sap the Com munists of their power. In January the National As sembly scrapped the constitu tion at his request and gave him special powers for 12 months "to save the nation from disaster." He decided it was time that the Communist soldiers who were still on the loose in Laos either were assimilated into the nation or disarmed and disbanded. The same went for Commu nist politicians. He clapped Souphanouvong and several other Neo Lao Hakxat leaders under house arrest in May. Unconfirmed reports from Vi entiane, the capital, say Sou phanouvong is now under for mal arrest. ago when one battalion pf Pa tent Lao troops resisted inte gration and fled one night to the mountains near the Viet Nam border. Two weeks ago the rebels stepped up their scale of op erations, previously limited to a few small raids. They at tacked towns in San Neuva province in battalion strength, cutting roads and destroying a radio station.

Non-Rerun on Desilu TV Show Said Curious Choice By WILLIAM EWALD UPI Correspondent New York (DPD You may have heard of the non-rerun. It's a peculiar specimen, found throughout the United States, which goes into hib nation during the summer months. It is either black and white or colored and s o m e t i mes sends out a oueery c r v William EwaU that sounds something like: "Remember the residuals." Monday night, through a quirk, a non-rerun came out of hiding and nestled in the boughs of CBS-TV's Desilu Playhouse. The occasion was Westingh use's 500th spon sored TV drama and It was marked with an exercise lab eled, "Two Counts of Mur der." It was a rather curious choice for a celebration a squashy colloid composed of equal parts of non-soluble dialog and pasty plot. It had something or other to do with the grandson of a political boss who was accused of murder and who was prose cuted by a young district at torney, who the boss thought he had in his pocket and who . . . and who ... aw, the heck with it. The cast, engulfed in this clabber, kind of paddled around uncertainly. The swimmers included Raymond Massey, David Janssen, Larry Dobkin and Whitney Blake.
