o o o 0 o MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORE. MONDAY. JANUARY 9, 1961 1 O Effectiveness of SEATO Pact May Be Put To Test if Moves Continue United States' Obligation May Result in War Washington (UPD Six years ago, with only one dissenting vote in the Senate, the United States took on an obligation which now might draw Amer icans into war in the obscure little kingdom of Laos. The obligation is the South east Asia Treaty Organization pact against Communist ag gression and subversion. The Chinese Communists call SEATO a "paper tiger." That contemptuous judgment may be put to the test if cur rent political moves to halt the East-West proxy war in Laos fail and the Soviet-armed Red rebellion grows. SEATO boasts at its annual ministerial meetings that not an inch of territory or a single government in its treaty area has been captured by the Communists since the alliance was formed In early 1955, fol lowing the Indochina armi tice. Helps Discourage Reds SEATO has never gone to war to maintain this record, but its eight members believe their pledge of collective mili tary action has helped dis courage Communist ambi tions. ' The late Secretary of State John Foster Dulles sparked the movement to create SEATO. One of his main ob jectives was to assure some chance for survival of the three new nations of former French Indochina, all weak, vulnerable and under the shadow of Communist China. The Indochina states - Laos, Cambodia, and the Republic of (South) Viet Nam - could not join a military alliance, according to the prevailing in terpretation of the Indochina armistice terms. Dulles' solu tion was a protocol attached to the SEATO pact putting them under what he called OSC Scientists Get Grants for Russian Meeting Corvallis - Two Oregon State college scientists, Dr. Vernon H.
