MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OtEGON FRIDAY. MAY 25. 1982 B 3 Tatterei! Baiitlits Pay Give Red China Excuse To Intervene in Laos Vientiane-; IUTO -Communist China may seize on a handful of Uttered bandits as an ex cuse to intervene in the trou bled kingdom of Laos. . The bandits are former members, or allies, of the Nationalist Chinese guerrillas who were driven out of Burma a year ago. : Now, Peiping claims these remnants are a "component part of the Laotian rebel (Royal Government) troops," hanging on to a shred of ter ritory in northwest Laos. : China "can not remain in different" to them, the Peip ing Peoples daily warned on May 16. . It charged that America had involved itself in Laos in ''flagrant collaboration with .-. . a remnant of the Chiang Kai-shek brigands to extend the ' civil war in that coun try." The Western Powers and Laos' right wing government have actually given the for mer guerrillas a wide berth, to avoid giving Peiping an opportunity to make just such charges. Excuse Used in Buima They recall that Red China used the bandits' presence in Burma last year as an excuse for bringing communist troops Into that country's northern border region. . Sources with contacts in northern Burma claim that the Chinese never quite got their foot out of the Burmese door, and still keep about 4,000 troops in Burma with the reluctant permission of the Burmese military govern ment. " The Nationalist government evacuated about 9,000 of these guerrillas from Laos and Thai land 13 months ago, despite a request from the Laotian government to integrate some of the tough soldiers into the Royal Laotian army. " Taipei pointed to the situa tion in Burma, and told the Laotians they would merely Invite Red Chinese intervene tion . if they put Chinese troops into Lao uniforms. ' But about 800 fighting men decided to remain behind on the borders of Laos, Thailand, China and Burma. 1008117 Recruited About half of these hold outs were locally recruited Lu tribesmen who had no ties with Taiwan. The rest were Chinese who had married lo cal women and saw a better future in banditry and opium running than in returning to the Nationalist army. The remnant bands quickly began causing trouble in all nearby countries. - Instead of joining the Lao tieh army, they fought at least two skirmishes with it, according to French and Lao tian sources, when the regu lar troops tried to disarm the Chinese. -' 'Instead of fighting the com munists, they raided pro western Thailand so severely that Bangkok newspapers re cently reported the complete evacuation of two tribal vil lages to escape the bandits' -depredations. Defense Offered for Fee ; The closest the bandits ap pear to have come to cooper ating with the Laotian army was during last week's gov ernment retreat across north west .Laos to the Thai border at Ban Houei Sai. ; -Several bands came for ward then, reliable sources lay, and offered to defend the town-for a fee. They were turned down because the Lao army already had decided to abandon the city without a fight. The dis gusted bandits reportedly kill- j ed one Lao soldier and then fled into Thailand or the sur rounding hills. ! This small incident seems to' be the only foundation for a Red Chinese claim on May 16 that 2,000 Nationalist guer rillas are grouped alongside Xoyal Lao forces around Ban Houei Sai and in northern Thailand. Diplomats Frightened The Chinese Reds also claimed that 100 Chinese ir regulars also fought in de fense of the Laotian town of Muong Sing when it was oc cupied by pro-communist reb els May 3. In some ways this charge Is more frightening to diplo mats than all the others. It seems to show that Peiping is 10 eager to establish the , presence of the Nationalists In. Laos that it is willing to sacrifice the Laotian rebel claim that Muong Sing was taken without any fight at all. This eagerness is most dis quieting to officials here. They wonder whether Red China Is trying to build the guer rillas remnants into a stand ing excuse for future inter ference in Laos. Total Food Supply To Continue Large During Coming Year Washington (UPD - Total food supplies will continue large in 1962, but there will be variations in the amount of different types of food as com pared to 1961, according to the Agriculture Department. A department study showed that prospective gains in meat supplies will be small and cur rent indications point to less poultry, both chicken and tur key. Production of milk is ex pected to be larger in 1962 and little change is expected for eggs. Some what smaller supplies of fresh vegetables and pota toes are in prospect, but sup. plies of fats and oils, cereals, and most other foods will con tinue plentiful. On balance, the department said, retail food prices in 1962 may average only slightly higher than in 1961. Pattern To Vary ' Although food consumption will increase about in line with population growth in 1962, the pattern of change among individual foods will vary rather widely. The supply of red meat in the second quarter of 1962 probably will average about 3 per cent below the first quart er and slightly below year- earlier levels. For the year as a whole, meat consumption per capita will be close to the 1961 rate of 161 pounds per capita. Meat will be slight ly higher in price through the spring and early summer than in the first part of 1962. In the second half, beef is ex pected to be in larger supply and prices should be lower than in the first quarter, Pork prices are not expected to change much for the next couple of months, but may drop in the late summer and fall. Broiler production will in crease in the second quarter, but not as much as in 1961. Retail prices are not expected to drop as sharply in coming months as they did a year earlier. Egg production in the first three months was limited by severe weather. Output m April, May, June will increase more than seasonally, with retail prices below the same quarter of 1961. Egg consump tion for the year will be close to the 1961 total. Drop in Fluid Milk Total consumption of dairy products is expected to rise above 1961, but the rise will be slightly less than the rise in population. The indicated slight decline in per capita consumption would come from a drop in fluid milk and cream. Retail prices of dairy products may average slight ly below last year. Consumption of food fats and oils will continue the sea sonal decline through the summer, but the annual con sumption rate is expected to be close to that of last year. Supplies will be record large. Export demand will be strong er than last year. Retail prices are expected to be relatively steady throughout the year. Supplies of fruit, both fresh and processed, are expected to be moderately larger this spring than last. Fresh vegetable supplies will be substantially smaller this spring than last and re tail prices materially higher.

This provision is in conjunc tion with language approved earlier by the full commis sion, which sets up machinery for creation of an Oregon cab inet system. There would be a maximum of 20 executive agencies in stead of the present hodge podge of boards and commis sions. While giving the governor authority to name cabinet of ficers, the subcommittee fa vored ratification of the ap pointments by a majority of the state Senate. This is like the federal government. Such officers would serve a maxi mum of four years, and pure ly at the governor's pleasure. Merit System Other state employees would be hired on a merit system, like the present civil service. The subcommittee also rec ommended that a person be allowed to run for governor and the ' legislature at the same time. If elected to both, he would resign one and accept the other, lhe vote again was unanimous. Law professor Hans Lindc, Eugene, who proposed the plan, said it would allow po litical talent in the legislature to try for governor without loss of the legislative seat as a penalty. There is no prohibition now in the constitution for run ning for both offices at the same time. But the right to do so isn't spelled out, either. An understanding public which rccognii.es that mental illness is an Illness from which the patient can recover and the tmporlar.ie of ade quate facilities in each com munity were stressed by a team from Oregon State hos pital at the annual meeting of the Jackson County Mental Health associ tion this week at the Rogue Valley hospital. Dr. Thad Furlong, psychia trist, said the trend in care for the mentally ill is toward decentralization in state hos pitals and more emphasis on local facilities. He said modern treatment methods at Oregon State hos pital include use of tranquil izers and group therapy with restraint and shock used only in special cases. Pilot Program Noted Dr. Harry Doyle, psychia trist, noted that a pilot pro gram is unde way on a unit system in which patients from a given area such as Jackson county would be grouped to gether for treatment. This will facilitate working with local agencies, he staled. Mrs. Gertrude Stoltenberg, director of the social service department said a great many 1 CUTTER INSECT REPELLENT New cream formula is concentrated so that a little bit goes a long, long way.

"T" INSECT REPELLENT people believe patients are sent lo the Saleri hospital to stay, but this is not so. They enter for treatment as in any hospital, she noted. The read- mission rate is about one- third. Plans for discharge of a patient begin the day the pa tient enters the hospital, Mrs. Nadine Nunn, social service worker, pointed out. An ef fort is made immediately to contact families and agencies which might help, but many times patients must remain in the hospital because there is no one who will assist. Moderate Panel Discussion Dr. A. E. Merkol. Jackson said it is hoped that under the new community mental health clinic act, the Family and Child Guidance clinic will be expanded so more people can be helped and mat it will eventually become the Jackson County mental health clinic. He pointed out that under the law a patient cannot be retained in jail unless there are no other facilities avail able. In Jackson county, these facilities include a m ximum security room at the Jackson County Farm Home, three at Rogue Valley hospital and one at Ashland Community hospital. Proposed programs for fos ter home care and half-way houses also were explained by panel members, who all noted the lack of facilities, particu larly nursing homes, for cld- couniy health officer, modcr- erly patients in southern Ore aled the panel discussion, and gon.
