Reds Invade

LONDON, Sept. 4 tAP,.-
Laos has appealed to the
United Nations to send troops
to help repel Communist at
tacks. the Laos Embassy said
today. Britain at once an.
nounced it favored United Ma
lions action if aggression in
Laos is proved.
In its appeal. Laos accused
Communist North Wet Nam Of
intervening on the side of the
Red rebels Of Laos.
A Foreign ONCE spokesman
told a daily news conference
after the Laotian announce
ment was issued:
If aggression is established,
the British government would
obviously be in favor of the
United Nations taking action
to deal with that aggression"
Urgent Appeal Made
Laos Ambassador Prince
Khammao said in a statement:
Facing the characteristic
aggression Of the Democratic
Republic of North Wet Nam.

ritory. the royal government

Council Not Mentioned
The appeal made no mention
Of the Security Council, the
only U. N. body empowered to
send troops for use against ag.

The commander of Laotian
forces fighting rebels in North

insurgents are being supported
by a battalion of regular North
Wet Nam troops.
The rebels launched an Of.
fensive Sunday after a bonn
bardment from guns the Lao
tians said were based across
the border in North Wet Nam.
Britain Told Of Plan
The Foreign Office spokes-
man said the Laotian govern.
ment had informed Britain
some days ago it was consider.
ing an appeal for U. N. military
help as one method of coping
with the spreading Red revolt.
The official expectation in
London is that the Laotian ap-
peal will first be considered by
the U. N. Security Council. II
Russia vetoes any proposal for
U. N. military intervention, the
issue then probably will be
placed before the General AS

Qualified informants said
President Eisenhower and

AS expected, none Of these
conclusions has received the
slightest support from officials
Of either government. There is
some reason to believe that
apart from the two Presidents

these officials have little more
real knowledge of what went on
in the private conversations
than other people. The final

impression providing only
enough in way of general sub

speculations.
Stories Knocked Down
The officials indeed are spend

them for one reason or an
other as particularly mischie-

deny reports in evening papers

address the United Nations

put aside his official cares to-

honorary citizen Of Scotland.
He had accomplished his mis-

Western alliance against COM

With the nine days Of di-
plomatic work in Bonn, Lon
don and Paris behind him,
the President arrived, looking
rudy and fit, for q Labor Day
week end of rest and golf at
Culzean Castle, his Scottish
vacation home. Scotland gave
him a 16-room apartment there
in appreciation for his services
as commander Of allied forces
In World War II.
He tackled the beautiful

miles from the castle, this
afternoon.
