Mr.. Baulkwill conceded there

He stressed that the Scouts

which budgets UGF money for
local agencies. But he said they
are prepared to go on without
IUGF support if necessary.
Mr.. Gore reiterated the

Phillips, president of the United
Givers Fund, declared, People
contribute to the UGF with the
implied guarantee that with
certain minor exceptions, bene-
fitting agencies will not go
separately to the public for
contributions.
The proposed action of the
Boy Scout Board would violate
this guarantee and if the pro-
posed public fund raising
campaign is carried on, it
would seem that they will make
impossible their continuance as
a member of the UGF family.
I sincerely trust that they will
not take such action"
Challenge to Bylaws

Phillips declared, would amount
to an open challenge" of the

are based"
He said he felt the Scouts

| The row between the youth
full army officers and Mr.
Phoui developed when they &C.
cused him of adopting an ap-
peasement policy toward the
Communists and jeopardizing
the electoral system.
The CDIN had called upor
the King to name a non-party
cabinet, including themselves
to prepare for new election,
fixed for April, 1860.
Mr.. Phoui had accused some
Of the CDIN members of seek
ing dictatorial powers. A cabi-
net minister close to Mr.. Phoui
said the Premier felt menaceo
politically and physically"
Katay Was Strong Man
Mr.. Phoui first sent his resig-
nation to the King in Luang
Prabang December %, after the
sudden death of Deputy Pre-
mier Katay Don Sasorith. When
it was rejected, he sent a Sec
ond offer to quit.
Mr.. Katay was the strong
man in the cabinet as preSi-
dent of the ruling Rally of the
Laos People party, which con-
trolls So seats in the 59-mem-
ber National Assembly. Mr.
Phoui, the party vice president,
has the personal allegiance of
only about a fourth of the
members.
Earlier this month Mr..
Phoui defied a challenge from
the CDIN, which held seven
posts in the cabinet at the
height of the fighting against
the pro-Communist rebels. The
CDIN ministers walked out of
the government December Is
after Mr.. Phoui switched to a
|neutralist international policy,

VIENTIANE, Laos, Dec. 81
(AP).-The Laotian govern
ment of Premier Phoui San
anikone resigned today and the
tiny Asian kingdom threatened
by Communists was placed
under the control of the army
King Savang Vathana twice
rejected Mr.. Phoui's resigna-
ton, then sent him a sharply
worded letter accepting it.
"It is apparent that in face
of the poWerlessneSs of the
government to control an ex-
ploSive situation, it is not
morally possible for us to leave
the nation in uncertainty of
the future" the King told his
reluctant Premier.
An official at the Premier's
Office said "the security of the
country has been Immediately
placed under control of the
army until a new cabinet is
formed"
DiSruptS SieSta
The official added with a big
smile: please don't dramatize
the situation. It's a coup d'etat
Laotian style, and not on the
South American level. It's all
'en famille.' No bloodshed."
Vientiane was enjoying the
usual calm of the sieSta hour
as the government radio broad
cast the Kings letter.
The King was believed back
ing a politico-military anti
Communist reform group, the
right-wing Committee for De-
tense OF the National Interest,
which includes top military
commanders.
For some unexplained rea-
son, three armored cars were
drawn up beside the royal pal
ace in Vientiane. The Pre-
mier's Office said they were
there for protection" and had
apparently been summoned by
the Kings chamberlain. The
monarch himself had come to
Vientiane from the royal capi-
tai at Luang Prabang for a pre-
Christmas meeting of the Ma
tional Assembly.
