Laos Warns Russio to Stop AirIift;
U.S.. Delivers First Armed Planes

VIENTIANEy Laos, Jan. II
AP).-The Laotian govern
ment has threatened to take
appropriate steps" unless the
Soviet government stops its
airlift o-pro-Communist rebels.
The warning to the Soviet
Onion, sent to the Soviet Am
bassador in London Monday.
was made public shortly after
the United States delivered the
Royal Laotian Army its first
armed planes.
-Four propeller-driven obser-
vation planes, each armed with
two .30-caliber machine guns,
were flown here yesterday. Two
more planes and a number
OF helicopters are also being
turned over to Laos by the
United States. The aircraft
will be flown by Laotian pilots.
> Until now Laos air force
a small number of helicopters
and aircraft used to shuttle
supplies to troops-has been

man said the new armed planes
had been requested more than
a year ago, and were now
needed to check on the move

sPathet Lao in the north CEN
tral Plaine des Jarres.
Geneva Pact Cited
A United States spokesman
said the delivery of defensive
weapons was authorized under
the 1854 Geneva agreement
giving Laos independence. But
protests are certain from the
Communist nations supporting
the Pathet Lao rebels and the
forces Of rebel Capt. Kong LIE.
The Laotian governments
note to the Russians said the
Soviet airlift to aid the rebels
had not stopped despite a pro-
test delivered December 81,
and that Soviet planes were +,
continuing a daily delivery at
air strips and by parachute "of
substantial amounts of war
material and other kinds of
unauthorized military assist
ance."
The note did not specifically
mention landing or dropping
OF military personnel for the
rebels. however.
The government charged 10
days ago that about 5000
troops from Communist North
Wet Nam invaded Laos, and
United States intelligence
sources later reported Soviet
aircraft had brought in a sub
stantlal outside Communist
force. Yesterday the govern
ment charged that Soviet as
well as North Wet Namese
troops were invading the coun-
Try. Few Western sources here
however, have. believed the re-
ports of invading troops were
well-founded.
Pathet Lao Has Plan

Lao has been in possession of
much of the strategic north

WASHINGTON CUPID - A
continental conference for law
yers from % American nations
will meet at San Jose, Costa
RIGA, June lila to organize the
legal fraternity in support of a
better judicial system to serve
world peace.
A working paper issued by
the organizing group indicated
a revival of interest in possible
establishment of an Inter-Amer-
lean Court of Justice, or alter
natively, a regional American
Chamber of the World Court.
The meeting will be the first
Of four continental conferences
conducted by lawyers to plan for
a greater use of judicial machin-
cry in settling disputes between
nations. The second meeting will
be in Tokyo Sept. 1920, the
third will be in Europe and the
fourth in Africa at places and
dates not yet decided.

proved facilities for commercial
arbitration.
The paper said that American
states have been studying the
feasibility of an Inter-American
Court of Justice since dissolu-
ton of the Central American
Court of Justice in 1918 after a
10-year life. A draft statute for
new court has not yet been
prepared for the San Jose meet
ing.
Some feel that such an TN
ter-American) court could have
a flexibility not afforded by the
statute at the World Court" the
paper stated. Others feel that
the need for regional court
can be met by special chambers
Of the World Court.
Advocates of this view feel
that the regional courts not di-
rectly part of the World Court
would factionalize international
law and its judicial system.
Another suggestion is that
perhaps there should be both an
Inter-American court and a
chamber of the World Court To-
Gated in the Americas.
THE need for some regional
court arises from the feeling in
most American states that there
is a serious gap in the present
dispute settlement machinery of
the Organization of American
States (OAS). Only if a contro-
versy constitutes a threat to
the peace does the machinery
! Of the GAS go into action"

HoiI-But Not Farewell

Just about a year ago 1000 members
OF the District Bar assembled to pay
well-deserved tribute to Judge E. Barrett
Prettyman. And on that occasion the
Judge said he was looking forward
fondly to the time when may turn out
to pasture with some of my cronies of
the law"
Well, however much one may regret
the fact, that time has arrived. After
long years of diligent and distinguished
service to the law, to the bench and to
this national community, Judge Pretty
man is retiring from the United States
Court of Appeals. AS much as we, not
to mention his very large company of
friends, will miss him, there can be no
appeal from his decision. After 10 years
in the thick of things, fighting the good
fight for one worthy cause after an
other, Barrett Prettyman has every rea-
son to feel that it is time for someone
else to carry the torch, while he enjoys
those various things that man may
do when he turns himself out to pasture.
Since trade secrets cannot be tightly
held forever, perhaps this is as good an
occasion as any to reveal one of our own.
Some years ago Judge Prettyman, stat
ing that he used to be newSpaperman
(no credentials were produced), agreed
to file an occasional dispatch to The
Star from his summer retreat at Ocean
City. The understanding was that these
reports, dealing with such topics as the
interesting shapes sometimes seen at the
seashore, would be carried under the
signature: "Our Summer Correspondent
at Ocean City"
There "ame day when one of The
Stars regular staff correspondents hap
pened to be at Ocean City. A large whale
had been cast up on the beach and left
there in the hot sun for several days.
Our staff correspondent wrote a piece
about it, which appeared in the paper
Under his by-line. Somehow, the stranded
and quite dead whale had not been de-
tected by our summer correspondents
nose for news. But the dispatch from
the staff correspondent did not escape
his attention. Indignant at this poach-
ing on his territory, he enclosed a clip
ping and got off sharp note to the
Editor, which read: This story stinks!"
We mention this little incident be-
cause it is revealing of a sense of humor
which, with many other things, prompts
us on this occasion to say: Hail!-But
Not Farewell.

Goo end Mr.. Nehru

1t must be hoped that Prime Min
lister Nehru will respond affirmatively
to President Kennedy's reported per-
Sonal message eXhorting the Indian
government not to resort to force in
its long-Standing dispute with Portu-
gal over the status of relatively tiny
Goa and the even smaller areas of
Damao and Diu. Within recent days,
New DelhiS armed forces have been
deployed in a way that has led Lisbon
to fear that an attack is imminent,
and so the Presidents letter seems
we'll timed and very much to the point.
Located on India's west coast, Goa
and the two other enclaveS add up to
some $500 square miles, with a popu-
lation OF little more than $4,000.
They are thus altogether insignificant,
economically and otherwise, in terms
OF the power and prestige of the vast
indian Subcontinent, which is inhab-
tied by we'll over 400 million human
beings. Yet, ever since attaining in
dependence after the Second World
War. Mr.. Nehru and his government
have been insisting that these minus
cule territories Lisbon refers to them
as provinces" and Integral" parts of
PortugaD must be surrendered by the
Portuguese as remnants of colonial
ism" that India cannot tolerate.
For its own part, Portugal argues,
with considerable fervor and cogency,
that these small bits of land have
been possessions since 1910, more than
$50 years ago, and that the people
who live in them have no desire to
be placed under the governance of
New Delhi. Beyond that, the Salazar
regime in Lisbon has advanced the
additional argument-a somewhat SEN
timental one, but still persuasive in
many reSpects-that the Portuguese
have a juridical and moral duty to
hold on to these enclaves for several
reasons, among them the following:
U They are associated with "some of
the greatest names that the Portu-
guese nation was able to give to
world history" (2) They are predom-
inantly Portuguese in race, religion
and culture. And (3) They serve as
a kind of memorial to Portuguese
discoveries and small hearth of the
spirit of the West in the East"
Looked at in this light, the prob
lem as whole seems to be a minor
one that hardly calls for the military
preSsures being exerted by New Delhi
AS the Portuguese themselves have
suggested, why not invoke the princi-
pie of self determination and let the
people involved settle the matter for
themselves in a plebiscite enabling
them to decide whether to adhere to
Portugal or place themselves under
India'S authority? Mr.. Nehru would be
we'll advised, we think, to favor such
action rather than resort to the armed
force that he so frequently inveighs
against as far as other countries are
concerned.
