and an evening Of song in
June.

their energies into helping
the foreign missions. Afiili-
ated with the national asso-

ute the results of their
efforts to this organization
as well as to their adopted

ate nearer at hand Is the
aim Of the Louise de Maril-
1acs. These students prepare
entertainment and favors for
convalescent homes, hospi-
tails and institutions where
the girls visit the patients

Eight Allies
Pledged to
Assist Laos
BY the Associated Press

The Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization, Of which the
United States Is q member. is
a 6-year-old alliance Of eight
nations.
SEATO, as it Is commonly
called, was established to op-
pose Red subversion and Com
munist aggression in Southeast
Asia.
The eight members are Aus
tralia, France, New Zealand.
Pakistan, the Philippines, Thai
land, the United States and
Britain.
The treaty setting up SEATO
was signed at Manila. Septem-
ber 8, 1854. but the SEATO or
ganization did not come into
being until a conference the
following February in Bangkok.
Under the SEATO treaty
each nation that signed "recog-
nizes that aggression by means
Of armed attack in the treaty
area against any Of the parties
or against any state or terri
tory which the parties by unan-
imous agreement may hereafter
designate, would cndanger its
own peace and safety"
Each member nation also
agrees "that 1t win in that
event act to meet the common
danger in accordance with its
constitutional processes.
In addition to pledging to
protect each other, the SEATO
nations signed a special proto-
col agreeing to go to the aid
of Laos, Cambodia or South
Vietnam If one Of those nations
should ask for aid against prov
able Red aggression.
The three 1ndo-China states
are not members Of the SEATC
alliance because under a 1854
Geneva agreement they are
treated as neutrals in the cold
war.
Besides being organized To
counter Red aggression in
Southeast Asia. the SEATC
nations are pledged to aid in
economic development Of the
area.

Nikifor Levchenko. an assistant
to Soviet Ambassador Mikhail

He couldn't reach the Pres

room.
He read Mr.. Smith the
message to Mr.. Kennedy from
Mr.. Khrushchev while the
crowd in the dining room was

All he knew about Mr.. Smiths
identity was that he was talk
