Laoiian Forces
Nearing RebeIs

VIENTIANE, Loas, Nov. 20
(Apl-Government forces and
scattered units Of the pro-
Communist Pathet Lao today
were reported closing in on
rebel-held Luang Prabang.
Pathet Lao radio reported
skirmishes 20 miles from the
drowsy. ungie-fringed village,
residence Of King Sayang Watt
hama, which detected to the
right-wing rebel regime Of Gen.
Phourni Nosavan more than
two weeks ago.
So far. however, there has
been indication that q major
battle for Luang Prabang is
imminent. Skirnishes were re-
ported In an arc stretching
from west to south Of the city.
The main body Of govern.
naent troops. two infantry COM
panies, were last reported at
Mupong Kassy In the foothills
IS miles south Of Luang pra-
bang. Four companies Of
Pathet Lao were reported ring
ing the capital to the north and
east.
Two tortuous mountain trials
unsuitable for transport Of
heavy guns lead into Luang
Prabang from the west and
south.
The nation is awaiting some
indication Of King Savang
Vatthana'S attitude toward q
projected coalition government
made up Of rightists rebels,
Pathet Lao and neutralist ele-
ments.
The King received the pro.
posal Thursday from neutralist
Premier Prince Souvanna Pho
una and his Communist half
brother. Prince Souphanouvong,
head Of the Pathet Lao.
Prince Souvanns said If ne
gotiations failed it would mean
full-scale civil war.
Most Westerners see little
hope for such a coalition, but
with the Laotian's penchant for
compromise. there still is hope
Of q solution.

Fashion
Notes

Spring. 1860, looms ahead.
How you greet the new fash
ion season depends on what
you find appealing to fit into
your wardrobe plans. You
might consider a short "trou-
ser" skirt. New skirt look
for 1860 leisure sessions is
the short skirt something
like a harem type. 1t hugs
the knees and comes in pale
colored silk taffeta.
+
A flowered bolero. Sleeve
less sheer bolero completely
covered with multicolored
flowers can work magic for
the basic sheath or long
flowing evening dress.
Silk foundations. Looking
more like a naughty dance
hall costume is the pantie
corselette in black power net
with bra and front panel in
black val lace over nude.

Pleated skirts. The pleated
skirt branches out into many
fabrics-chiffon, crepe and
silk linens. They're perma-
nent and pretty.

The hooded cape. A new
look for evening cover-up is
the elbow-length cape with
its own hood which is worn
close to the head and
wrapped and tied about the
throat.

ative Mack, Democrat of nli-
nois. charged: THE pattern is
well established that some
lawyers, and non-lawyers too.
seem to have the ear Of some
commissioners, while others do
not"
Mr.. Mack is a member of
the House Legislative Oversight
Subcommittee, which heard
testimony last week that Mr..
Corcoran contacted Mr.. Kline,
Mr.. Connole and FPC Chair
man Jerome K. Kuykendall last
october on a gas pipeline case
involving Midwestern. An FPC
ruling issued seevral days after
the off-the-record contacts was
a compromise between the COM
pany's demands and the COM
mission stairs recommenda-
tions.
The main issue in the Octo-
Der case was whether Midwest
ern should be allowed a return
Of 614 or Z per cent on it's in
vestment. The commission staff
said 6A per cent would be
adequate. Midwestern con-
tended in arguments October
20 that 7 per cent would be
needed to cover financing costs
and a reasonable profit. There
was no dispute about authoriz-
ing construction of the pipe
line.
In arguing for a 6A per cent
rate Of return. the commission
staff said Midwestern could
borrow money to finance the
pipeline at relatively low in
terest rates, because it is a
wholly owned subsidiary of
Tennessee, which is an old es-
tablished company with a good
credit rating.
Corporate Shift Cited
Mr.. Kline said he agreed with
this reasoning. But, he said,
Mr.. Corcoran visited him and
said Tennessee planned to
divest itself Of controlling in
terest in Midwestern. Mr.. Kline
said Mr.. Corcoran argued that
divestiture would leave Mid
western on its own in obtaining
financing for the pipeline, so a
7 per cent rate Of return would
be required.
Checking the record, how
ever, Mr.. Kline found that Mr..
Symonds had testified that
Tennessee could not divest it
self Of control of Midwestern.
Mr.. Kline said he still thinks
the FPC should limit the rate
Of return to 6A per cent, unless
Tennessee actually does out
Midwestern loose. Prices a COM
pany may charge for gas are
calculated to yield a specific
rate Of return on investment.
A higher rate of return, there
fore, results in a higher price
for gas.
The commission was divided
on the rate issue, Mr.. Kline
said. November was the dead
line for a decision, he con-
tinued. because the Canadian
gas supplier could raise its price
after that date. Rather than
risk killing the project, he said,
the commissioners agreed to
authorize the pipeline and leave
the rate Of return unsettled
until later. The ruling was
issued October 81.
