THURSDAY. APRIL 26. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Communist Activity Indicates Trouble Ahead for Shaky Laotian Truce Tokyo - (UPO Stepped up Communist activity in Laoi Indicates that the Reds may be planning to shatter com pletely the shaky Laotian truce. So far, no major haul's have been reported between Royal Lao forces and the Pathct Lao rebels. But a se ries of small, sharp clashes held the portent of bigger fights to come. The most daring Commu nist raid in months came last week when 300 pro-Communist guerrillas attacked a village only seven miles from Vientiane airport and attempt ed to lure a relief column in to an ambush. The ambush failed as the column's infantry screen broke up the ambush before the rebels could explode de molition charges intended to destroy armored cars belong ing to the loyal forces. The attack and ambush cost the rebels at least 35 killed or wounded, according to American sources in Vienti ane. But the audacity of the at tack so close to the adminis trative capital pointed up the confidence of the rebel guer rillas. In the north, aerial photos mouane who does not have close relations with the rest of the country. What worried Western of ficials, however, was evi dence that the Communists intend to extend the highway to the town of Cuong Sai, a jumpoff point for rebel at tacks on the village of Nam Tha and probes toward the royal capital of Luang Pra- bang. The Chinese Communists currently are building a cause way over the Nam Bang river disclosed that thousands of valley six miles Inside Laos, Chinese Communist laborers according to the aerial pho- had entered Laos to build highway linking Red China to Laos' provincial capital of Phongsaly, an area dominated by a warlord named Hkam- -7 ;:! ,Lv.t' -L x III iflrl-- 111 ''IK' M tm , V in, ' ' 4 -. f tos. The Chinese Reds agreed to build the road under a pact with the rebel "government' in the Plaine des Jarres. Activity by foreign troops also was reported In southern Laos. DISCUSS SHIP STRIKE - Robert Moore, left, deputy direc tor of the Federal Maritime Service, confers with J. Paul St. Sure, president of the Pacific Maritime Association, at San Francisco in an attempt to mediate differences between shipowners and the seamen's unions.

Tchepone is tha jumping off point on the so called "Ho Chi Minh Trail" leading into South Viet Njiti and which is used to reinforce Communist Viet Cong rebels. Sources said, however, the North Vietnamese battalions appear to be a permanent gar rison at the base. Two Pathet Lao rebel bat talions also were reported in the southwest of the provin cial capital of Attopeu which they attacked last Tuesday. The rebels cut the road be tween the "old town" and the "new town" and held it for 72 hours before they finally melted away into pro-Communist territory to the west. American officers believe the attack was actually a re connaissance in force to de termine whether Communist forces could bring Attopeu under seige. The Communists also step ped up their activity In cen tral Laos, cutting off the vital Mekong river supply route to Luang Prabang. A rebel com pany seized the riverside vil lage of Pak Beng for the third time in five months with a flanking attack which cut off a large government force between rebel front lines and the river. The village of Nam Tha was still under seige by the rebels. Royal troops ha ddriv en Communist forces back two or three miles and out of mortar range, but the rebels still were able to shell the Nam Tha airstrip by using newly acquired artillery. On the non-military side of the Lao situation, pro-western Premier Prince Boun Oum planned a visit to Thailand and South Viet Nam soon to seek technical and economic aid. The Lao economy has stag nated following withdrawal of American aid to the royal government. The U.S. took the move in an attempt to force the government into a coalition with the Pathet Lao and followers of so-called "neutralist" Souvanna Phou ma, a former premier. Boun Oum and strongman Gen. Phoumi Nosavan hope eventually to ask for aid from every anti-Communist nation in the Far East. Soviet Ambassador Alexan dre Abhamov, left for a vaca tion in Russia. To some observers, Abram ov's departure was sign that nothing was likely to happen in Laos for the next few months, despite the stepped up tempo of small clashes.
