Pothet Lao Asks
U.S. to Withdraw
Officers in Laos

TOKYO, Sunday, April 2
(AP).-The leftist Pathet Lao
has called on President Ken
nedy to withdraw what it
termed United States officers
from Laos and convene a a.
nation conference to bring
peace to the Asian kingdom,
the official New China News
Agency reported today.
The agency said the demand
was made in an open letter ad-
dressed to Mr.. Kennedy
through a broadcast over the
clandestine Pathet Lao radio
last Thursday. The belated re-
port, however, was carried by
the Red Chinese news agency
only a few hours after the So
Wet Union sent an answer to
an American-backed British
peace plan aimed at ending the
Laotian civil war.
THE only way to realize Lao
tian peace is to withdraw
United States officers, the ag-
gressive troops of Thailand and
the Chang Kai-shek clique and
United States aircraft out of
Laos and convene a 14-nation
conference" the Pathet Lao
rebels said.
IF you oppose a 14-nation
conference and continue to
launch open aggression against
Laos, you will meet with oppo-
sition from the entire Laotian
people and the powerful world
forces of peace"

u. S.Accepts
His Policies,
Nehru Says

NEW DELHI, India, April /
(AP). - Prime Minister Nehru
said today India greatly appre-
ciates changes in United States
foreign policies which "have
brought their policies closer to
ours"
Broadly speaking, it is our
policies that have been ac-
cepted by other countries as
the correct policies" Mr.. Nehru
told parliament.
He cited the United States as
an example, saying the new
administration has m a d e
changes which we appreciate
greatly"
He did not specify what
changes, however.
Some officials here feel
Washington has moved closer
to the Indian position on at
least three matters - support
for neutral Laos, condemnation
of Portuguese colonial rule and
more clearcut backing for the
United Nations in the Congo.
Mr.. Nehru reviewed the
world situation in a Commute
speech. He said there was hope
the Laotian problem can be
settled peacefully now that
everyone, including leaders of
the big powers. recognize the
only future for Laos is as an
unaligned neutral.
Il only say hope because so
many hurdles remain" he
added.

Service Commission Chairman
John Macy.
The group, which consults
with undersecretaries of all
agencies, expects to have a
memorandum on good behavior
ready at the end of April. About
the same time the President
will send to Congress a message
calling for stiffer curbs on
conflict = of interest offenders,
especially those agency heads
who, after leaving Government
service, do business with their
former departments.
Chairman Macy says that the
commandment-makers are con-
cerned with appearances" as
we'll as the substance of pro-
priety.
Thus, there seems no chance
whatever that Uncle Sam will
fork out for the little woman's
fare when her husband makes
an official trip.
Those conventions are often
held at plush resorts" he ex-
plains, land if there's a picture
of the two of them at the swim
ming pool it looks as though
they're having a vacation at
Government expenses.
Other Side Of Coin
The other side of the story
comes from a cabinet member
with a passion for anonymity
in this instance:
"After all, half the people ir
the world are women. My ex-
perience is that the presence OF
the wife makes a very substan.

in which the army squeaks out
a close victory over the Youth
Association.
The holiday ends with a
show staged by the United
Sta tes Information Service
consisting of an endless sing
song dialogue between a man
and woman. 1t combines prop
aganda, you are told, with
unprintable jokes, the latter
much appreciated by the large
audience.
In Laos, the pattern of life
does not change. Rebellions
and wars between rival princes
make little impression on the
people. Words such as COM
munism or democracy mean
nothing at all. Even during
the height of the fighting
around Luang Prabang, while
the Communist radio re-
peatedly announced the cap
ture of the Royal capital,
things went on exactly as be-
fore.
The most serious incon-
venience imposed by tn e
fighting was a stacking off of
the opium trade from poppy
growing areas in rebel hands.
One could search in vain for
any sign of nervousness
among the people or prepar-
alton for defense. Apart from
flimsy roadblocks set up
around town to prevent t
motorists from wandering too
far into the countryside, there
was scarcely a guard in sight.
People are Gentle
Even more impressive, how
ever, is the defenselessneSs of
the people themselves. They
have sometimes been called
lazy and indolent, but it is
their quality of natural gen.
tlenesS that provokes both the
admiration and despair of
foreigners. People in Laos
seem to be physically incap-
able Of anger. If two samlor
drivers run into each other on
the street they exchange jokes
and compliments while olsen
tangling themselves. Even the
Evening star., 1961-04-02

children never seem to f.
And if a foreigner gets ar1gss
at a Lao, the Lao will add
to his fury by laughing in his
face.
Charming as they are, these
qualities are something of a
drawback when it comes to
fighting war. Far more than
the difficulties of terrain, the
lack of roads or any shortage
of equipment, the soldier him
self presents a problem that
battles the experts on both
sides. Inhibited from violence
by both nature and religion
from the day ne was born,
the Lao makes, even by his
own estimate, a sorry warrior.
THE only kind of fighting
we really like" admits an Of
ficer with several Frenc h
medals pinned to his battle
dress, lis cock-fighting."
Easily Discouraged
Most of the damage in
flicted in the course of the
Iindecisive fighting has been by
long-range artillery duels and
land-mines planted along the
dirt highway between Wen
tiane and Luang Prabang. Cas-
ualties of 10 a day on both
sides are considered intolerably
high and many of those evac-
uated for medical reasons are
unhurt.
You don't actually have to
hit a Lao" a Western expert
explains. "A near miss knocks
the spirit out Of him and he
has to be taken out"
In fact, when it comes to
fighting, both sides have come
to rely more and more on
specialist" of one kind or
another. The Communists
have stiffened their Pathet
Lao forces with volunteers
from North Wet Nam. The West
has been giving special at
tention to the Meo tribesmen,
dropping them supplies Of
arms and equipment to step
up their guerilla activities be-
hind the Communist lines.
Even so, one cannot spend
many days in Laos without
coming to the conclusion that
it is about the last place on
earth one would choose to
fight a war. And to hope,
along with just about everyone
else in the country, that the
great powers would take them
selves and their quarrels some
where else.

Assembly Approves

that the House has turned
down a beer tax bill which was
opposed by administration
leaders. The beer tax bill had
been dubbed the Hooker Rock
er" after George Hooker, friend
and adviser of Gov. Tawes and
spokesman for the beer in
dustry in Maryland.
"The beer industry was de-
Tended in this house the other
day." Mr., Linton said. 1T was
stated that the beer barons
would look with disfavor on
Maryland if the tax were
passed. In comparison with
the beer industry, we are in
much more jeopardy if this
cigarette tax is approved"
D 6 a tie John Hanson
Mitchell, Democrat of Charles,
said the beer industry "has
been practically untouched" by
taxes. He claimed that the Gig
arctic tax is "a direct threat
to our economic existence in
Southern Maryland"
MitchelPS Pleas Are Futile
Mr.. Mitchell noted that the
urban legislators had wooed
Southern Maryland during the
recent reapportionment fight
and that several of the dele
gates from Southern Maryland
voted for reapportionment.
He called on the urban area
legislators Ito help us now"
But the pleas were rejected
after administration leaders
said the tax increase was part
of Gov. Tawes' program.
Senator Edward F. Northrop
Democrat of Montgomery, was
still trying last night to get a
vote on reapportionment, al
though there was little chance
Of the Senate approving any
measure on this subject.
The House has approved a
bill calling for a constitutional
convention to deal with reap
portionment, but rural area
Senators have managed to keep
the bill off the Senate floor.

termed loss of Tha Thorn, IS
miles northeast of Vientiane, a
major strategic and psychologi-
cal defeat for the pro-Western
government.
THE situation is bad, very
bad" said one high-ranking
royal army officer. There are
signs the Communists may
start moving all over soon" !"
Another said, THE way is open
for the Communists to move
with little resistance.
Tha Thorn was the govern
.ment's primary southern ap-
proach to the large rebel-held
areas in the Central Plaine des
Jares and Northeast Laos. It's
capture by the rebels would
seem to cancel any chance the
government had of mounting
an offensive and capturing the
plain.
In addition. rebel conquerors
of the Tha Thorn stand Just Is
miles from the government city
Of Paksane on the Laos-Thai-
land border. Paksane is a key
control point on the main road
from Vientiane to the royal
military base at Savannakhet
in Southern Laos.
Thailand Alerted
Capture Of Paksane would
have the effect of slicing Laos
in half, but this would have
psychological rather than stra-
Itegic Importance, in the eyes
of Western military men. Rebel
guerrilla units are given little
chance Of stretching a we'll
defined line across the narrow
waist of this jungle nation and
defending it.
Western observers said a
sweeping rebel advance to the
Thailand border is not expected
because there are no passable
roads between Tha Thorn and
Paksane.
Thailand, nevertheless, kept
a wary eye on the rebel ad-
vances and one high-rankine
government official in Bangkok
described two northern Thai
provinces, Loey and Prae, as
endangered.
He said Laotian civilians are
crossing the Mekong River al
night seeking refuge in Thai
Land and then returning to
Laos to carry on daytime
Operations.
The Tha Thom battle was
the second major fight reported
in a month-and the govern
ment lost both. The other was
the March 7 loss of Sala Phou
Koun road junction that gave
the rebels a 50-mile stretch OF
the highway between Vientiane
and the royal capital of Luang
Prabang.

bill to give the teachers a siz-
able pay raise and to change
the financing from the sales
tax to the income tax. His
proposal was to drop the per-
Sonal exemption on the income
tax from $500 to $500.
The Lee amendment, backed
by the State Teachers Associa-
ton, was rejected, So to 35.
Voting with Mr.. Lee from the
suburban Washington area,
were Delegate Edna P. Cook,
Democrat of Montgomery, Del
egates Paul Garbelman, Hervey
Machen, Lansdale G. Sasscer,
jr,, and Carlton R. Sickles,
Democrat of Prince Georges.
Against it were Speaker Perry
o. Wilkinson and Delegate C.
Phillip Nichols. Democrats of
Prince Georges, The other four
Montgomery delegates refused
to vote.
Beer Tax Effort Fails
After the Lee amendment
failed, there was an attempt
by Russell c. Hickman, Demo-
crat of Worchester, to raise
the starting point from 25 cents
to 33 cents. This was defeated,
80 to 20.
There also was an unsuccess-
full attempt for the third sue
cessive day to bring a beer tax
bill before the House.
On the final vote, the Gov
ernor's sales tax bill won ap-
proval by a vote of 83 to 35,
with Mr.. Lee and Mr.. Sickles
maintaining their opposition.
Mr.. Hickman warned that in
creasing the sales tax would be
a political liability for the
Democrats in the 1862 state ell
ection. He recalled the pen
nies-for-Lane" slogan which
helped defeat former Demo-
crat Governor Preston Lane in
1850 after his administration
had enacted the sales tax.
Tobacco Men Fight Tax
Opposition to the cigarette
tax was led by tobacco growing
counties of Southern Maryland.
The cigarette tax bill was
passed by the House today rs
to 80 after legislators from the
Southern Maryland tobacco
growing counties made a deter
mined effort to defeat it.
The cigarette tax was passed
yesterday in the Senate after
southern Maryland Senators
tried for seven hours Thursday
night to talk the bill to death.
Separate bills have been
passed by the Senate and the
House and before the legisla-
ton can finally be enacted one
