E|ates Premier

GENEVA, Jan. 20 (AP).-
Premier Prince Boun Gum left
for Laos today praising a bet
ter understanding" with his
two rival princes that led to
formula for unified, neutral
list government.
The premier and his strong
man deputy, Gen. Phoumi No
savan. however, emphasized
that the agreement is by no
means final, and it appeared
some tough bargaining re-
manned.
Prince Souvanna Phcuma,
the so-called neutralist who
would be premier of a unified
government, expressed hope the
new regime could be installed
this month. But western Off
Gals thought this optimistic,
and Prince Boun Gum said:
Some important work re-
mains to be done"
Royal government suspicious
that the third prince would
eventually assume dominant
role have stalled negotiations
for months. He is Prince Sou
vanna's half-brother. Prince
Souphanouvong, leader of the
pro-CommuniSt Pathet Lao
guerrillas.
In the formula worked out at
a two-hour conference of the
princes Friday night, 10 of 10
government posts will go to
neutrslistS and four each to the
other two factions.
The agreement contained this
provision: Boun Gum and Nosa-
van will have to obtain au-
thorization from their rightist
supporters in Laos for giving
up their claims to the key min
iStries of defense and interior.
The United States assistant
secretary of State for Far East
ern affairs. w. Averell Harri-
man, was at Geneva Airport to
see Prince Boun Gum and
Prince NoSavan leave. He said
the agreement was good step
forward" for a Laos peace
treaty. Mr.. Hartman was to
leave tonight for Washington
to report to President Kennedy.
Mr.. Hartman planned a brief
Stopover in Paris Sunday for a
meeting with United States

Storms Close
Roads in West
BY the Associated Press

A blizzard blasted most Of the
West yesterday, with heavy
SHOWS temporarily closing
transcontinental U. S. High
ways 40 and so at a number of
places from Utah to CALIFORNIA;
Sierra Nevada.
Gradually clearing weather
was in prospect for today.
Bitter cold gripped the north
ern half of the Nation, night
temperatures dipping to as
much as SO below zero in Min
nesota. Record sub-zero marks
were recorded in some cities.
Treacherous pavement, gale
force winds and low visibility
caused traffic deaths and prop
erty damage from Canada to
Central California. Motorists
in some mountain areas were
stranded few hours.
A 30-inch snowfall forced
postponement of a professional
ski meet at the Sugar Bowl
near Norden, Calf. Winds there
reached 10 miles per hour.
AS the storm crossed the
Continental Divide the Weather
Bureau issued warnings to
Stockmen and motorists in
Southeastern Montana, Wyo-
ming and Western Nebraska.
Blowing and drifting snow
was spreading into those areas
and was expected to continue
into Colorado today.
California, Oregon, Nevada
and Utah bore the brunt of the
sudden storm. In Northern
California sections of U. S.
Highway 40 were closed awhile
in the SierraS, with traffic
backed up for miles on both
sides of Bonner Pass.
The Utah highway patrol
halted westbound traffic on
U. S. 40 and so at Grantsville,
some 80 miles west of Salt Lake
City.
Chains were required in most
mountain areas from there
westward.

BATTLE LINES DRAWN
Meanwhile. most postal and
Government employe union
leaders are serving notice that
President Kennedy'S forthcom-
ing pay raise proposal is unac-
ceptable to them in its present
form. They feel the proposed
raises for lower-salaried en-
ployes are too low and they also
object to tine effective date of

the President. They also feel
that spreading the raise over
three years is too long. al
though there are some indica-
Gions they would be agreeable
to two pay raise increments
over q two-year period If the
raises were big enough.
Jerome Keatins. vice presi-
dent Of the National Association
