Talks on Laos

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
April % (AP).-United States
diplomats were said today to
have talked with other United
Nations delegates about the
possibility Of calling a meeting
of the Security Council on
Laos.
Diplomatic sources said they
expect the United States to
wait until tomorrow to see
whether the Pathet Lao rebels
arrange a cease-fire with Laos
pro-Western government.
They added that if no cease
fire results, the United States
delegation then may ask for a
meeting of the 11-nation coun-
Gil Monday or later.
But they stressed that Wash
ington has not yet decided
whether to bring the matter to
the United Nations.
The United States was said to
feel that the United Nations
Security Council might be used
to spotlight Communist failure
to respond to a cease-fire ap-
peal issued Monday by Britain
and the Soviet Union.
But Britain and France were
reported opposed to convening
the council for a meeting on
Laos. One informed diplomat
said the two United States al
lies doubt the council could
take any significant action and
question whether a meeting
might not cause more contro-
verSy then it would solve.

South Wet Nam
.GuerriI|as Held
Serious Threat
BY the Associated Press

United States officials esti-
mated yesterday that pro-Com-
muniSt guerrilla forces seeking
to overthrow the pro-Western
government of South Wet Nam
now have a total strength of
nearly 10000 men.
These forces, operating most
ly in small units of a few dozen
men, are said to be supplied
with arms and reinforcements
from Communist North Wet
Nam. The threat they pose to
the government of President
Ngo Dinh Diem is regarded by
President Kennedy and other
high officials here as extremely
serious.
The problem of providing ad-
ditional support for Diem, who
has received United States mill
tary aid for several years, was
one Of the Southeast Asian
problems discussed at yester-
days National Security Council
meeting at the White House.
Tied to Laos
1t is intimately related with
the military situation in Laos,
A report from the State De-
partment on the Laos civil wal
yesterday said two towns in
South Central Wet Nam "are
under very heavy (pro-Commu-
nist) Pathet Lao pressure. The
towns were named as Tchepone
and Muong Phin.
Informed officials said that
in the Tchepone area alone a
force Of about 1000 Pathet Lao
troops is concentrated.
Administration officials said
the situation in South Wet
Nam has been so far over
Shadowed by the civil war in
Laos that few people under
stand the dangers to Southeast
Asia which exist there.
Behind this concept of threat
apparently is a fear in Wash
ington that the real Commu-
mist objective - regardless of
what happens about a cease
fire in LaoS-is to seek by guer-
rilla tactics to take over all of
Southeast Asia is quickly as
possible.
Operate at Night
In South Wet Nam the guer-
rilla bands are said to be oper-
ating mostly by night and to
take a heavy toll in the lives
of officials, army and security
police forces, and loyal vii
layers.
United States officials put
the total of those killed each
month at several hundred, some
estimates running as high as
500 a month.
Diem has an army Of l50,O ,O0O
men and a civil guard of $4,000
but these forces, it was said
have been unable to bring the
guerrilla threat under control
mainly because the attackers
operate in small groups using
hit-and-run tactics, and mostly
at night. They are supplied end
reinforced from the north.
J About 18 months ago, the
strength of the o-Communist
guerrilla forces in South Wet
Nam was estimated at 5000
men.
If the present estimate OF
10000 is accurate, there has
thus been a fourfold increase
despite all Diem could do to
stop 1t.

annually. The situation in
South Wet Nam has been de-
