Invasion Of Laos Still Big Mystery HANOI, Indochina lP) A single powerful division left behind in Laos bv the Communist-led Viet- minh was proving a headache Wednesday to the French and Lao tian defenders ol the little moun tain kingdom. All that remained to write finis to Moscow-trained Ho Chi Minn's invasion of Laos was for the de fenders to uproot the Vletminh's crack Division 304 but It appeared a tough proposition. This division, behind a newly erected strong defense line, was concentrated around the town of Xiengkhouang, 18 miles south of the Plain of Jars In the heart ol the kingdom. The French had no explanation why they didn't attack from their entrenched position on the plain where tney have concentrated su perior power in armaments sup plied by the U. S. Instead, they seemed to be watt ing for the lone enemy division to withdraw from Laos, as the other divisions have done, or make a direct assault dh French positions. The division shoved spearheads southward toward the Mekong Riv er. Reaching the Mekonar would live the division access to rich rice-producing lanlTUe jTenoh would be faced with the problem of building up new defense posi tions all along the river from Pak Sane to Vientiane, the Laos gov ernments capital, so miles to tne west. The French have admitted that Vietmlnh troops are within 3o miles or Pak Sane and some are north of Vientiane.

The local chapter can process inquiries for health and welfare and Red Cross inquiries have got ten results where other means failed. play began when a high-flying multi-engined plane approached Klamath Falls from the south. The big ship was leaving what ap peared to be a long vapor trail. But suddenly, astonished watchers noted the supposed vapor trail was turning a brilliant pink, gieen and orange. And then suddenly, Ihe trail abruptly ended and the big plane continued on northward without leaving any trail at all. A short while later, persons at Ihe airport reported seeing a few swift pursuit planes enter the area, break formation and zoom off on tangents as if they might be form ing an aerial search pattern. From this, It may well be pre sumed the Oround Observer Post here notified some defense base which dispatched the pursuit planes to have a look at the funny things floating about the Klamath sky. But, of course, such presump tions are lust that and chances are Ihe whole thing was mere much- ado-about-notning. However, there were some funny things going on in the sky this morning. S i.
