and more likely to be confronted
with unpredictable crises where
leaders will be all-important, than
are the other countries on the Far
Eastern perimeter Of Communist
power.
Indo- China, for instance, Is the
only place among Americas Orien-
tai allies where royalty still exer-
cises any significant amount of
power. This is principally because

either authoritarian or democratic.
At the end of World War II, when
the Japanese evacuated Indo-China
and left vacuum, the Communists
came dangerously close to rushing
in and taking over.
The French, with British and
Chinese Nationalist help, finally
propped up a few weak royal fam
lilies to take over administration OF
the countries so that they would not
fall to such Communists as Ho
chi Mimi by default.
Each of the Associated States in
Indo-C China has its own leadership
picture, however.

ciated States. with population Of
only about 1.5 million, u the most

Sisavang Wong il one Of the Oldest
ruling monarchS, rounding out so

Royalty symbolizes the leadership
of the country and rules with the
aid Of an elected legislative assem-
bly,. Because Laos is so small and
most dependent Of the three states
on France for military, economic
and technical assistance, there is no
great friction with the French. Nor
is there any great agitation from
new native leadership.
The Communists, since they be-
gan their invasion of Laos in the
spring Of last year, have been try
ing to awaken political awareness
-oriented toward Moscow and Pei
ping-with little effect.
The King rules with the aid Of his
son and Prime Minister, Savang
Vathana, who probably will succeed

CI0 Chiefs Cheered
By Reaction Here 10
Tax Cut Proposals
BY james Y. Newton

CIO leaders today were opti-
mistic that Congress would grant
further tax relief in the form
Of larger income tax exemptions.
That word was brought back
from the Capitol by several
hundred union representatives
attending the CIO Full Employ
ment Conference. The dele
gates talked to nearly 200 men,
bers Of Congress yesterday in the
course Of Pumping for the CLOS
anti-recession program. r..
A major point of the program
is to secure passage of the
George amendment to the adj
miniStration tax bill raising per-
sonal exemptions from the pres
ent $500 to $500. The tax bill
is now before the Senate Finance
Committee. If the amendment
is beaten there, Senator George,
Democrat. of Georgia, is ex-
pected to introduce it on the
floor.
See Good" Chances.
The consensus of the CIO
delegates was that there is a
very good chance Of the Senate
raising tax exemptions. if not
by 5000. certainly by $10O. And
they were sure the House would
follow suit if the Senate acts
favorably. The House narrowly
defeated a move to lift exemp-
tions to $700.
Raising the exemption to $500,
union leaders say, is the equiv
alent Of a wage increase of 81a
cents an hour to workers.
Its better to get it that way
than on the picket line" John
v. Rife, CIO executive vice pres
ident, told the employment con-
ference.
The administration strongly
opposes raising exemptions. Of
flcials contend it is not needed
to stimulate purchasing power
and combat the business slump,
and would throw the Federal
budget further out of balance
by reducing revenue.
Held Cause of Slump.
On the other hand the CIO
maintains that a lack of con-
sumer purchasing power is the
q main cause of the slump and
that the quickest way to stim-
ulate buying is through a tax
cut that would give relief to low
incomes.
In any event, the CIO dele
gates were headed home to con-
tinue pressure from there for
their program which also in
cludeS public works spending and
other antidoteS to recession.
Joseph A. Beirne, CIO vice
president. referring to the coun-
try's economic troubles, de-
scribed the situation this way:
I'VE know there is a disease
and we are treating the symp-
toms. We don't know whether we
are treating cancer or three-day
measles. But in any event, the
cure is back home"
Mr.. Beirne exhorted the CIO
representatives to organize let
ter-writing campaigns to con-
gressmen about the organizations

campaigns. he said. I'VE must

ments offer more proof of
what already had been OBJ
served-or suspected.
With telescopes, scientists
could infer there Is a layer of

moon, but they could not tell
much else about 1t. They
could calculate temperature
by optical methods, too, but
they could 60 no deeper than
the top Of the dust layer.
What they were measuring
was reflected sunlight. When
the sun was not shining di-
rectly on the moon. the tenn
perature dropped from ITO
degrees above zero to 500 be-
low. They concluded the moon
was dead matter, heated only
by reflected light.
As far as It went, their
conclusion was right. But
radio has penetrated that top
dust layer for the first time.
and now there Is more infor-
nation about weather condi-

from which temperature can
be calculated, indicate that
the moon does store a little
heat Of its own. It Is cold
enough still, but the tempera-
ture does not drop quite as far
without the sun as was sup
posed.
The dust layer, which can
not store heat, has been
measured. It's 10 to 20 CEN
timeters thick-"that's rela-
lively thick" DR.. Hagen says.
Because the moon Is in q per-
feet vacuum, the dust just
settles, with nothing to stop it.
without an atmosphere to
act as a cushion, the moon is
exposed, too, to attack by
meteoriteS and cosmic ray
particles. So far as we know.

Patrons will have to deposit a

public telephones after the call.
That system didn't work. But,

neither did the telephones

In japan Times Are Tough:
No More Phone Calls on Cuff

"deadbeat" calls were wrong
numbers.
The new coin boxes are SINH
lar to those in use in the United
States - with one interesting
variation. This is a bow to those
pesky wrong numbers.
To guard against a customer
losing a coin every time the com
pany turns up a wrong number,
gadget gives the patron 10
seconds to discover if he mas
the right party.
Here's how it works:
The patron slips in a coin
and dialS his number. If he gets
the light number, he pushes a
button and his coin drops into
the box. # he does not push
the button. the telephone goes
dead after 10 seconds and the
coin is returned.
The new coin boxes have an
other advantage. There is no
slot FOR nasty notes or used
facial tissue.
