Pentogon Cites
Mark Watson,
Military Writer
By the Associated Press

Mark S. Watson of the Balti-
more Sun received from Secre-
tary of Defense Mcnamara
yesterday an official citation
as a distinguished military
correspondent, historian and
scholar"
The occasion of the cere-
mony, held at the outset Of
Mr.. McNamara's news confer
ence, was the eve of Mr.. Wat
sons 74th birthday.
Mr.. Mcnamara, reading the
citation, told of Mr.. Watson's
years of reporting with Incl
sive perception and analysis
the activities of the armed
forces of the United States"
and said he had recorded the
battles of World War II and
Korea as part of our Ameri-
can heritage"
The defense chief noted that
Mr.. Watson is a Pulitzer Prize
winner and recipient of the
Medal of Freedom.
Mr.. Watson, a little startled
at the ceremony, recovered
enough to say:
I'm my decrepit state and
my advanced stage, I had not
expected I would be crossing
a new frontier this year.
For the next IA years I will
try to do better"
Mr.. Watson's coverage of
military activity runs back
through World War I, when
he was a member of the staff
of the old Stars and Stripes
service paper.

Many observers said if the

Gizenga's rebel regime in
Stanleyville. They envisage
the combined armies of Mr..

plan and a rival Soviet draft.
Under the new plan, the COM
mission truce teams would be
empowered to investigate al
legged violations of Laos neu-
trality only at the request of
the Laotian government. This,
he said, was closer to the spirit
of the Soviet plan than that of
France.
The Cambodian plan pro-
vides that the commission
would then be empowered to
Investigator not-by a ma
jority vote of two of the three
members.
The three Laotian princes
called a meeting today to try
to find some agreement on the
commission, designed to guard
the Kingdoms neutrality.
Powers and duties of the COM
mission are the most contro-
versial isue facing the Geneva
conference on Laos.

Russia'S Yuri Gagarin and

short of the crafts design

Mai. White radioed that

back the Cambodian plan when
it is presented to the 14-nation
conference on Laos in Geneva.
Communist delegates to the
Geneva conference have re-
fused to consider any proposals
for the International Control
Commission that do not con-
tain a veto provision.
Split Reported
The West claims the Com
munists are trying to cripple
the commission-composed OF
India, Canada and Poland
with a built-in veto that could
be welded by the Polish mem
ber.
Prince Souvanna Phouma
has never publicly expressed
his views on the organization
and powers of the commission.
The Cambodian spokesman
said Prince Souvanna Phouma
has split with his pro-Commu-
mist half-brother, rince Sou
phanouvong, over the new pro-
posals. He said Prince Sihanouk
of Cambodia believes it will
be impossible to get Prince Sou
phanouvong to agree to the
plan.
He added that Western
backed Prince Boun Gum, head
of the royal Latoian govern
ment, also has not agreed and
is sticking to a French plan
that would give the commission
much broader powers than the
Cambodian proposals.
