Cabinet Posts
Hold Key 10
Neutral Laos
BY EARL II. VOSS
Star Staff Writer

Whether Prince Souvanna
Phouma as coalition Premier
in Loas can set up a genuinely
neutral government depends
heavily on how he fills three
key posts in his cabinet. Amer
lean officials believe.
The three crucial appoint
ments are the Ministers Of De-
tense, Interior and Foreign
Affairs.
If pro-Communist Pathet Lao
men, or others friendly to this
faction are named to any one
of these jobs, officials here say,
1T would cause a lot of raised
eyebrows"
The United States is mot
about to indorse anything that
is a farce" these sources add,
Prince Souvanna Phouma
does not enjoy full confidence
among professionals in the
State Department who have
worked with him. They have
found him too willing to CO.
operate with pro-Communist
elements.
Finally Agree
Three Laotian princes, Sou
wanna Phouma, Boun Gum and
Souvannavong, have been meet

land, Cambodia and Laos since

Murder Issue Raised
In Bong-Jensen Death
BY the Associated Press

A Senate subcommittee has
raised the question, Suicide or
murder?" in the mysterious
death two years ago Of Povl
Bang-JenSen. Danish diplomat
and former United Nations Of
fetal.
The Senate Internal Security
subcommittee challenged the
New York police verdict Of sui
eide and suggested the POSSIBLE
ity that Mr.. Bang-Jensen might
have been killed by Soviet
agents.
There are too many solid
arguments against suicide" the
subcommittee said yesterday,
too many unanswered queS-
tons, too many serious reasons
for suspecting Soviet motiva-
ton and the possibility of So
Wet implication"
In New York, a spokesman
for the police department said
of the subcommittee chal-
lenge:
I'VE don't make the verdict,
That's done by the medical ex-
aminer's office. The case is still
open as far as we're concerned"
Probed Hungarian Revolt
The 100 page report de-
scribed the 50-year-old diplo-
mats role as secretary of the
United Nations special COM
mittee investigating the 1856
Hungarian revolution. his sub
sequent quarrel with United
Nation superiors. and finally
the circumstances of his death.
About the most that can be
said on the basis Of informa-
ton available today" the re-
port said, lis that it is still
unclear whether it was suicide
or murder"
The report held that the So
Wet terror apparatus may have
had adequate motivation for
the liquidation of Mr.. Bang
Jensen.
Mr.. Bang-Jensen left his
home on Monday morning, No
vember %, 1859, for his office,
He was employed at the time
by CARE, a charitable organi-
zation. Three days later, on
Thanksgiving morning, his
body was found in a Queens
park. He had been shot in
the right temple with his own
gun and there was a suicide
note in his pocket.
Time Element Mystery
There was no satisfactory
explanation Of what happened
between Monday morning
when the diplomat was last
seen alive, and Thursday morn
ing when his body was found
The Soviets, the report said
had good reason to spirit away
Mr.. Bang-Jensen to find out
how much he knew about Com
munist infiltration in the
United Nations and in United
States intelligence agencies
and how much of this knowl-
edge he had conveyed to Amer
lean authorities.
And if Bang-Jensen wa:

Interrogation, his liquidation
would have been an inevitable
sequel" the report said.
If this theory is correct, it
continued, then it can be as
sumed that the Soviet agents
employed the technique Of
simulated suicide" The report
listed a number Of other cases
to show that the Russians have
ample experience in this tech
nique.

luctance may be due to the fact
that Mr.. Khrushchev has stated
repeatedly that he could not
believe anyone would start test
ing during the moratorium in
effect since 1858.

ing after the announcement
ending the moratorium, Mr.

been possible without a great

NOTE
Continued From First Pag

COIlIIHucu rTOm rlTSL rage
West German Communist
agitators and trouble makers
to West Berlin. The United
States has denounced such
charges but also said that it
really was none of Russia's
business.
| Today's warning was the
second hands-off admonition
delivered to the Soviet Union
in two weeks. The previous one
was in a statement by the
White House which told the
Russians that any aggressive
action against the air corri-
doris would have the most seri-
Gus consequences.
Air access to Berlin along
the three corridors from West
Germany is and has been I'M
restricted since the end of
World War II in 1945," the
notes said today.
West Germans who make
use of this means of transpor-
tation to Berlin do so in pur-
suit of a variety of business,
cultural. political or other nor
NAL detectives, individually
chosen, in a manner which is
familiar and well understood in
societies where free men regu-
late their own lives in accord
ance with free choice. That the
USSR should characterize such
activities as criminal does not
make them so.
Moreover these ties with the
Federal Republic and the out
! side world are of vital impor-
lance to the viability and well
being Of West Berlin. The atti-
tude of the USSR and the East
German authorities toward
freedom of travel is plainly
shown in the recent actions by
which a prison wall was built
across the heart Of Berlin. The
authorities of the East German
regime have fired on, and even
killed, their fellow countrymen
who were seeking no more than
to enter West Berlin"
The operation of the air cor
ridors which run between Ber-
set up by four-power agree
and Frankfurt-on-Main was
set up by four power agree
ment. Since Soviet participa-
ton in the management of the
air control system is impor-
tant to aircraft safety the three
Western powers would like to
keep the Soviets cooperative,
officials said.
Much of the note, therefore
was concerned with argument
as to the legal basis for the
allied assertion of unrestricted
flight rights.
The three Western notes said
that on February 5, 1857, the
Soviet Union blocked a pro-
posal made many times previ-
ously by the West for addi-
tional air corridors to handle
civil air flights to Berlin. The
Soviet Union argued that tn
