Capital Of
Set 10 Fight Off
Red Invaders
French and Natives
Alert as Wet Mimi
Push Near City
BY the Associated Press

SAIGON, 1ndO-Chlna, Feb. 3.
French and Laotian defenders
of Luang Prabang braced today
for an imminent" attack from
the Communicated Wet Mini.
The rebel invaders were reported
within Is miles of the royal Lao
tan capital on the banks of the
Mekong River.
French military sources here
said small advance units of the
Wet Mini had probed to within
8 miles of the royal seat. but the
main rebel body was still several
days march away.
Laos rheumatic old King
Sisavang Wong vowed once more
the city of $4,000 would be de-
Tended until the end" He made
the same pledge last spring when
the Wet Mini invaded to with
in IL miles of Luang Prabang.
then Withdrew without a major
battle.
This time there was every in
dication the fight would be
joined.
The French said they had
completed their ma ior defenses
against the onslaught.
The Wet Mimi invaded Laos
from the north early last week,
sending at least a division
through the jungles and down
the valleys of the Hou and Suong
Rivers toward the capital.
Rice Stocks Burned.
AS the rebels advanced the
French and Laotian forces and
many civilians withdrew under
the cover of intensive French
air bombardment, leaving rice
stocks burning behind them in
an effort to destroy food the
Red fighters need.
Though the Wet Mini were
reported officially within Is miles
of Luang Prabang, it was possible
their advance troops were closer.
Officials said yesterday the in
vaders had been stopped. at least
temporarily. as they tried to
force a crossing of the Suong
in the area of PAX Seng. 81 miles
northeast of Luang Prabang and
strategically located at the juno
ture of the Suong and the Seng
Rivers.
Today military authorities said
1t appeared likely the French
Laotian forces had abandoned
PAX Seng, though there was no
confirmation of this. That point
is a key to the Suong, which
empties into the Mekong a few
miles north of Luang Prabang.
Able Bodied Men Alerted.
In Luang Prabang all able
bodied men were ordered to dig
shelters against mortar fire and
build defense works. Govern
ment workers were enlisted for
civilian defense and firefghting
work. The beating of gOngs in
the sacred pagodas was to be the
signal for the danger alert.
The kings son. Prince Savang,
IN public statement declared
the fall of Luang Prabang to
the Communicated forces would
not only be a national catas-
trophe but would have enormous
repercussions on world opinion"
In defending Luang Prabang,"
he added. 1--WE are protecting the
gateway to Thailand, Burma and
all Southeast Asia"
Meanwhile most of the city's
Inhabitants remained calm and
went about their business as
usual.

Serious Reasons
The Holy Father told the Bish-

fortunately" he said, certain
teachers care little for conformity
with the living teaching authority
of the Church, pay little heed to
her commonly received doctrine
clearly proposed in various ways;
and at the same time they follow
their own bent too much and re-
gard too highly the intellectual
temper of more recent writer's and
the standards of other branches of
learning.

There is no right to deprive

nuns as public school teachers was
filed here last October.

in Baptist Church affairs in this

stated:

their theological knowledge, but by
reason of the mandate which they
have received from the lawful
teaching authority. Their faculty
always remains subject to that au-
thority, nor is it ever exercised in

BY granting faculties to others,
the Holy Father stated, Bishops do

The Pontiff gave assurance that
the Church does moi intend Ito ex-
tend the prescriptions Of canon law
on previous censorship of books TO
include all kinds of teaching; for
there are many other ways and
means at hand for investigating
and acquiring accurate information
on what professors are teaching"

Both certain clerical teachers

the Pontiff as being in dangerous

There are times when the

The members of the Hierarchy
applauded enthusiastically when
the Pontiff was borne into the hall
on his ornate portable chair. Be
fore the Pope spoke, the dean oi

nence Eugene Cardinal Tisserant

tiff'S continuing recovery from i'll

strength, and congratulated him on
his name day, the feast of st. Eu

The Pope struck the keynote
of his message in his first words
by quoting from christ's com.
msnd 10 81. Peter: "lf you love
me feed my lambs :" The
Pope said his purpose was TO sx-
plain THE triple office and priVi-

For lack of time, the Holy Fa
ther said, he would comment only
on the first, putting off the other:
to another occasion, if God so per
mits."
In defining minutely who shares
in the teaching authority of the
Church, the Pope spoke on a sub
iect which has been occupying the
mind Of the Holy See in recent
months. Little over a month age
the Holy Fathers Pro-Secretary oi
State, Msgr. Giovanni B. Montini
emphasized in a letter that the
right of priests to preach the Cos
pei is dependent on the approval
of their Bishop. The letter, address

of France, declared that the mis-
sion of preaching belongs properl,
to the Bishops and no priest car
assign himself to this function.
A Mandate
The Pope repeatedly noted in hi
audience address that in the work O.
tecahing the Bishops may associate
others with themselves. But ht
stressed repeatedly that these
teachers enjoy their position not b.
virtue of their knowledge but b.
reason of the mandate they receivt

The Pontiff stated that th'
Church may, does and intends L
