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.

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.
