Pro-Western Lootion Troops
Seize Strategic Rebel Base

V1ENT1ANE, Laos, Jan. II
c(AP). Pro Western govern
ment troops pushed their way
into Wang vieng yesterday and
captured the strategic rebel
base on the road to the royal
capital Of Luang Prabaig after
only slight resistance.
A dispatch from Associated
Press Cameraman Fred Waters
said the town fell at 1925 am.
yesterday after only a 30-min-
ute battle.
Another government column
was inching south from Luang
Prabang, with plans for a
linkup and then a turn east
toward the rebel-held Plains
des Jarres. But the govern
ment's prospects were seriously
dimmed by reverses on the
southern front, where pro-
Communist forces on Friday
captured Ia Vieng, one Of the
governments staging bases for
the planned offensive against
the Plaine des Jarres.
The situation around Tha
Thorn, another government
staging base, was. confused.
French sources said Tha Thorn
fell Sunday to rebels advancing
from Ia Vieng. Other sources
said it was still in government
hands.
Planes Aid in Battle
Mr.. Waters reported rebel
Capt. Kong lie had left 500
defenders in Wang Vieng and
that they fell steadily back
before a determined govern
ment push launched at dawn
yesterday. The government
force was supported by rocket
and machinegun fire from the
Laotian Army's four United
States-supblied trainer-fighter
planes. The battle for the town
itself lasted only 80 minutes.
The attacking columns came
under rebel mortar and artil-
lery fire south Of Wang Vieng
Sunday and early Monday. But
as an armored Car led the gov
ernment force into the out
skirts Of the village. the rebel
rear guard could be seen scat
tering north and west into the
hills.
The armored car raked the
retreating rebels with machine
gun fire. The governments

the Soviets may be planning
to give jet training to the so
pro- Communist Laotian pilots

they would train.
"It would be entirely in keep

United States officials said
that pilots of the pro-Western

of handling jets.
Mr.. Kuznetsov told Mr..

President Joseph Kasavubu's
demand that he recall his
special representative in the
Congo. Rajeshwar Dayal of

Mr.. Hammarskjold wrote
Mr.. Kasavubu that Mr.. Dayal
was not a diplomat accredited
to the Congolese government
but a senior U. N. official, and
that therefore he was not sub

Mr.. Kasavubu had charged
