otic Laos fighting units has,
acting on the proposal of Su-
preme Commander Capt. Kong
lie, ordered all military units
under its command to cease
firing as Of 8 am. Laos time"
the Pathet Lao broadcast said.
Delegates Asked For
Capt. Kong lie called on the
Vientiane government to send
delegates without delay to
negotiate at the village Of Ma
Mon, seven miles south of
Yang Vieng, or in the area of
Hin Keup, another village In
the no-man's land where the
Nam Lik river crosses the
north-south highway.
Urgency in the negotiations
was underlined by the ap-
preaching monsoon, the tor
rental jungle rains that are
due in mid-May and may con-
tinue for two or three months.
1t was in approximately that
area that the Vientiane govern
ment's representative crossed
the river yesterday and met
Pathet Lao representatives.
Boun Gums foreign minister,
Tiao Sopsaisana, said his gov
ernment's envoy, 1t. Col. Siho
olinthakhou, was in
structed to avoid political issues
and negotiate only for a quick
cease fire and a time and place
for further meetings Of Vien-
tiane representatives with those
Of the Pathet Lao and Sou
wanna Phouma.
The cease fire is supposed to
be the prelude to q 14-nation
conference scheduled to start
May IL in Geneva to work out
a permanent peace for Laos and
unity and neutralize the war
torn little kingdom. The
United States and Britain have
said they would not attend,
however, until an end to the
fighting is verified. A three-na- =
ton truce commission, made UP
of India, Canada and Poland,
is due in Laos later this week to
supervise the cease-fire.
Coalition Still to Come
The Boun oum regime and
the Pathet Lao still have to
work out a coalition govern
ment to represent Laos at the
Geneva conference, and West
ern observers in Vientiane fear
that peace efforts will break
down over this or the Commu-
nists will dominate the coali-
ton.
Prince Souvanna Phouma, in
his self-styled neutralist role,
is expected to play an important
part in the negotiations. He
is still regarded by the Com
munist bloc as premier, even
though he fled the country last
September when the Western
backed forces headed by Boun
Gum captured Vientiane from
Capt. Kong Les paratrooperS
whose coup in August had put
Souvanna in office.

WHY GROW OLD
Relax

The habit of doing one
thing at q time and thinking
only Of that one thing is
most relaxing. Many folks
feel pushed all day long by
pressure from the multitude
Of things which they must
eventually do.
We do not get one bit more
done by huffing and putting
and contemplating the work
ahead.
When we work in q relaxed
manner with wholehearted
attention to the task at
hand. We are much more ef-
ficient. We also skip much
wear and tear and have more
pep at the end Of the day.
One Of the best prescrip-
tionS I have ever heard for

One day recently, he said,
Caroline called, chatted elab-

President do you want to

midst of their talk, Grand
father Kennedy said the
President suddenly declared,
Caroline, what are you

it was already cut in two-even

Bouavan Norasing said in ef-
feet that Laos fate is in the
hands Of the big powers and

the royal government could not
hope to arrange a cease-fire by
itself because the Pathet Lao
is under obligation to the Soviet
Union which is supplying arms
to the rebels.
There were no outward signs
Of unusual activity in this quiet
capital as the SEATO meeting
