nakhet, a major army base in
the south.
The leaflets were signed by
"the committee against the
coup d'etat" and claimed the
decision to retake Vientaine
had been made by the council
of ministers" in the royal capi-
tai of Luang Prabang. One Of
the leaflets accused Capt. Kong
LIE of opening the country to
Communist threat and called
on the people to rise against
him.
BY council of ministers, "
the leaflets presumably meant
the Somsanith's regime. But
Mr.. Somsanith returned to
Vientiane Monday and retired
to his home under an armed
guard. And King Savang
Vathana bowed to Capt. Kong
Les demand and directed Sou
wanna Phouma to form a gov
ernment.
Rebel forces in Vientiane

The allegiance of the rest Of
the 30,000-man royal army has
been in doubt, observers say.
The leaflets said the Nosavan
forces had been assured of CO.

BeryIIium Found
In Idaho Runde
By the Associated Press


Discovery Of beryllium In the
Sawtooth area of south-central
Idaho has been announced
jointly by the United States
Bureau of Mines and the Idaho
State Bureau of Mines and
Geology
The Bureau of Mines said the
discovery is potentially of great
significance because of the i'm
portance of beryllium as a
space-age metal. Biologists and
engineers of the State and Fed
eral agencies made the discov-
cry on the basis of a lead pro-
vided by a local prospector.
Beryllium, a relatively scarce
metal with a high melting
point. great stiffness and light
weight, is priced for its alloying
properties, and is finding use in
nuclear reactorS, missiles and
space vehicles.
Deposits occur in about Is
States but principal production
comes from the Black Hills of
South Dakota.

VIENTIANE, Laos, Aug. II
(AP).-The Laotian National
Assembly today unanimously
confirmed the new government
of Premier Souvanna Phouma
despite leaflets from a holdout
general promising to overthrow
rebel forces controlling Wen

The ratification of the new

eye of rebel leader Capt. Kong
lie, the paratroop officer who
engineered the coup last week
that forced the resignation of
pro-Western mier Tiao
Somsanith.
Souvanna Phouma said yes

Interest Cut Seen
Proving Slump
By the Associated Press

Federal Reserve Board moves
in the last two weeks lowering
the rediscount rate and making
more money available for loans
are little more than "a belated
recognition that the country
is headed toward a recession, /"
labor leader James B. Carey
says.
1T may be coincidental, but
1t is worth nothing that these
moves are being made as a ma
tional presidential election
campaign gets under way" Mr..
Carey, secretary-treasurer of
the AFL-CIO Industrial Union
Department, said in a state
ment yesterday.
He referred to a reduction in
the reserves which the Federal
Reserve requires its member
banks to carry, and a cut in
the rediScount rate, which is
the rate the board charges the
banks on money they borrow.

Friction Seen
AsSoviet Bars
China journals

Washington officials today
were studying reports of in
creased friction between the
Soviet Union and Red China.
The latest indication of fur
ther deterioration in Moscow
Peiping relations stems from
the failure of two Chinese
propaganda journals, to appear
on newsstands in Moscow.
While officials here said the
details were fuzzy" as to why
the publications no longer are
for sale. they conceded it looked
like a good possibility" of new
evidence of friction between
the two major Communist
powers.
One theory advanced holds
that the Russians felt the
Journals were not following the
Moscow line"
The two nations have been
at odds over the key issue of
nuclear war. China has taken
the position that such a war
would not necessarily be de-
structive, and that in the long
run it would strengthen the
Socialist camp.
Russia. on the other hand.
contends a war could result in
total destruction.
Adding to the speculation in
Washington are reports that
Chinese students in Moscow are
leaving for home. At the same
time Soviet technical experts
have been returning to Russia,
apparently on Moscow orders.
The Chinese have been
showing greater self-conf1dence
in being able to phase out grad
ually from dependence on So
Wet technical assistance" one
official here said today. This
may be one Of the, reasons for
the departure of Russian ex-
perts."

OAS Ministers Divided
On Dominican Action

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Aug.
II (AP).-Venezuela prepared
today to ask Western Hemi-
sphere foreign ministers for a
history-making quarantine of
the Dominican Republic.
The Dominicans promised a
counterblast of their own at
the foreign ministers con-
ference Of the Organization of
American States, which opened
last night.
A sharp split seemed to be
developing among other foreign
ministers on what to do about
the Venezuelan Dominican dis
pute. in which Venezuela has
charged the regime of Domini-
can Dictator Raphael Trujillo
with masterminding as asSassi-
nation attempt on Venezuelan
President Romulo Betancourt.
AZ Sanctions Involved
Diplomatic informants said
Venezuela had ready a draft
Resolution asking to invoke all
sanctions in the 1947 Rio
Treaty short of armed inter-
vention. The treaty says the
ministers, by a two-thirds vote,
can suspend diplomatic re-
lations and impose communi-
cations bans, but this has
never happened.
Dominican Foreign Minister
Porfirio Herrera denied the
Venezuelan charges and said
in a news conference late yes
terday he had some surprise
testimony and proof of his own
to submit.
Venezuela's call for sanctions
is supported in varying degrees
by a substantial number of
Latin american nations, in
cluding those which have
broken off relations with the
Dominican Republic. But a
number of others, including
Uruguay, Chile, Ell Salvador
and the United States, are ad-
vising a more cautious ap-
proach.
U. S. Sanction" Cited
One argument against eco
nomic sanctions is expected to
be that the United States, in
effect. already has applied them
by not buying about 100000
tons of sugar which the Domin-
leans could ship as a result of
the cut in Cuba's quota to the
United States.
Also affecting the situation
is the fact that the ministers
next week are slated to con-
slider observation-disclosures

Dogwood History
Stresses Vitul
Uses in Industry

Dogwood trees, which George
Washington planted so exten-
sively, once were among the
most useful trees in America.
The wood was in high demand.
DR.. Philip L. Rusden of the
Bartlett Tree Research Labora-
tories says that during the lat
ter part of the 10th century,
80 per cent of the wood went
into making shuttles for the
textile industry because it
wouldn't crack under continu-
Gus strain and the more it was
used the smoother it became.
Wood from dogwood was the
favorite for years as heads Of
golf sticks. pulleyS, spindles,
sledge runners. hay forks, bar
rel hoops, hubs Of little wheels
and even rake teeth. One time
jewelers. used sticks Of dogwood
to clean deep-seated lenses be-
cause they didn't scratch the
glass.
Before that. Indians chewed
the aromatic bark to combat
malaria. Pioneers went them
one better: They stepped dog
wood bark in whisky and slipped
it for the shakes" Today
autumn migrating birds get
drunk" when they eat over
ripened fieshy fruit of dogwood
that becomes fermented.
Scarlet and crimson are the
dogwood's colors in the fall.
So, Indians derived a scarlet
dye from the roots and with it
colored porcupine quills and
eagle feathers for their medi-
cine men.
