Ceose-Fire Efforts

VIENTIANE, Laos, April 5
(AP) about 500 Royal Lao
tian parachute troops dropped
into the area northwest of
Muong Kassy today to counter
pro- Communist rebel threats
north of this capital, Western
sources reported.
The parachute troops, headed
by Commander in Chief Boun
Leuth, took off before dawn
from the royal capital of Luang
Prabang in at least 10 trans
port planes and II or more
helicopters, some of the latter
delivered only a week ago from
Thailand by United States Ma
rines, the informants said.
The move followed reports
that Communist Pathet Lao
forces dropped 300 parachute
troops on the vital north-south
highway 20 miles south of
Muong Kassy yesterday. The
royal forces action would be
an outflanking move. Muong
Kassy is about 100 miles north
of here.
Cease-Fire Efforts Rise
The stepped-up military op-
erations appeared to be part of
efforts by each side to consoli-
date its position as interna-
tional diplomatic maneuvers
increased the possibility of a
ceaSe-fire.
Britain today obtained the
assent of the royal government
to cease-fire proposals and as

Political Moves
Within NATO
By EARL HI. VOSS
Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy and Brit
ish Prime Minister Macmillan,
agreeing on the need for closing
Western ranks against Soviet
threats and preSsureS, today be-
gan a search for ways to inten-
sify political consultation with
in the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization.
The President and the Prime
Minister met for two hours at
the White House in the first of
series of conferences that will
continue until Saturday. They
then lunched at the White
House and resumed their dis
cuSsion this afternoon, with the
relationships of the Atlantic
community and the worlds un-
derdeveloped countries as the
topic.
Former Secretary of State
Dean AcheSon. a Kennedy ad-
wiser on NATO problems, par
ticipated in today's discussion.
The talk covered the creation of
a nuclear striking force under
the NATO command, made up
OF United States-supplied, sub
marine-based Polaris missiles.
But informantS said that was
not discussed in detail.
Monetary Problems Discussed
American and British officials
agreed, in separate talks with
reporters after the meeting,
that the President and Prime
Minister were in accord on the
need for greater consultation.
Indications were that they
might reach some conclusions
on how to remedy weaknesses
in allied decision-making be-
fore their meeting here winds
up on Saturday.
Among the subjects also eX-
plored this morning was the
need for cushioning the effects
OF sudden movements of capital
within the Atlantic group.
Secretary of the Treasury
Dillon participated in that dis
cusSion. Also explored was the
problem of strengthening the
free world economically through
the international Monetary
Fund, the Organization for In
ternational Cooperation and
Development and central banks
of Atlantic Community powers.
Mr.. Macmillan welcomed the
initiative of the United States
in strengthening the Atlantic
partners aid to underdeveloped
countries through the new de-
velopment assistance group,
which recently met in London.
| Laos Not a Topic
| Mr.. Atcheson reported on
Kennedy administration think
ing on NATO's global role and
gave the British delegation a
picture of American intentions
for h elping to strengthen
NATO. Rowing Ambassador
Hartman also joined the meet
ing for the NATO discussions.
The crisis in Laos was not
discussed. The two leaders were
understood to be awaiting word
from Moscow of British Soviet
preparations for a joint appeal
to get a cease fire in the trou-
bled Southeast Asia kingdom.
How to bring peace to Laos
and establish a unified, neutral
and independent country there
was still expected to be a major
topic in later talks.

Foggy Bottom
Renewal Plan
Moves Ahead
City Heads Okuy
Luxury Building
With StipuIutions
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

The Columbia Plaza urban
renewal plan, a luxury apart
ment development in the Foggy
Bottom area, has been ap-
proved informally by the Dis
trict Commissioners, with some
technical stipulations.
The plan calls for a $25 mil
lion development on acres
bounded by Virginia avenue. E,
G, and Twenty third streets
NV.
The Commissioners today
sent the National Capital Plan
ming Commission a letter listing
proposed technical revisions to
the plan. The letter to A. NJ.
Woodruff, NCPC chairman,
said that if the planning agency
agrees to the recommended
changes the Commissioners
will consider approval" of the
project plan.
Engineer Commissioner Fred
erick j. Clarke explained that
the Commissioners have in
dorsed the concept" of the
proposed Foggy Bottom de-
velopment.
The NCPC will take up the
Commissioners recommended
revisions at its regular meeting
tomorrow.
Siegel Withdraws
In another, development to-
day, a Washington builder
withdrew a claim that the
project could be constructed
without urban renewal finan-
cial aid.
At a public hearing on the
Columbia Plaza plan last
month, the real estate man,
Meyer Siegel, said he could
handle the project with private
money if he got FHA assist
ance.
In a letter to the Commits
sioners. however, Mr.. Siegel to-
day said he had been under a
misunderstanding on the fl
nancing details. He went on to
formally withdraw his testi-
mony and to urge the Com
missioners to approve the
urban renewal plan.
Big Gap Noted
Urban renewal officials have
said there would be a SIS
million gap between the cost of
assembling land and the price
it would bring when sold to a
development syndicate. The
Federal Government would
make up 81 million and the
District Government the $780,
900 balance.
At the public hearing, the
Commissioner had questioned
urban renewal officials closely
as to whether the project could
not be built without this public
money. The reply from John
