Laofians in Geneva
For Wet Mini Talks;
Early SeIIout Seen
BY ths Associated Press

GENEVA, July 2. Defense
Minister Kou Varavong Of Laos
and three Laotian officers ar
rived here today for talks with
Wet Mimi representatives amid
growing American fears a SELL
out In Indo- China is imminent.
The Laotian representatives
arrived shortly before the 9th
session of the Indo-C China peace
talks opened in the Palace Of
Nations. They were accompanied
by the French adviser to the
Laotian defense ministry.
They were met by members of
the Laotian delegation here and
by Philip Bonsal, director OF the
United States State DEPART
ment's Office OF Philippine and
Southeast Asian affairs.
A Cambodian military delega-
ton headed by Gen. Nhiek Tiou-
long is due to arrive here
tomorrow.
Speedy Conclusion Seen.
With the top Cambodian and
Laotian military representatives
in Geneva. it Is expected that
the military phase OF the dis
cussions here can be brought to
a speedy conclusion. Both the
Cambodians and Laotians have
stated they will walk out Of any
discussions in which the Wet
Mini try to claim parts of their
territory.
Both contend they are victims
OF open invasion by Wet Mimi
elements and the only solution is
the withdrawal of these forces.
Today's conference session was
the first since the evacuation OF
the southern portion of the Red
River delta began. an action
whose implications hung heavily
over the conference.
Evacuation Independent.
The evacuation in the delta,
it was learned on high authority,
was taken independently of the
negotiations here.
1t was understood the action
did not come as a surprise in
Western delegation circles and
apparently the French had kept
their Western allies advised Of
events in Indo- China. The
United States State Department
said yesterday 1t had no advance
information.
The evacuation served to un-
derline United States fears the
negotiations here are headed for
a sell-out to the Communists
on Wet Nam, Ii not on Laos
and Carnbodia.

from $4,000 to $125, 900 the
previous June.

The land deal in which Mr..
Glueck and his father bought
about AS acres for about $50, 900
took place late in 1948. The
next Spring. Tri-City villages,

MIR. Glueck said he sold the
stock in these projects to one
Alfred Poland for $3.50, 900. The
assets Of each company were the
land and 500. 900, the minimum
amount for incorporation re-
quired by FILA. There were also
