Pothet Lao Warns u. S.
It Will Attack Planes

Mr.. vongvichit snapped that,
Before signing, Souvanna
must have an accord Of the
three factions"
He suggested the United
States should follow the eX-
ample of the Soviet Union,
which backed the Pathet Lao
in the Laotian civil war AMI
gave Laos several transport
planes.
American officials feel a
moral obligation to continue re-
lief flights TO the tribesmen,
Meos, who fought the Pathet
Lao. They believe that If these
flights were discontinued the
refugees would either starve or
be left at the mercy Of the Red
guerrillas.
Prince Souvanna said he Is
sorry the planes are being shot
at and that a meeting Of fac
tional leaders will be called tc
discuss this question.

Teachers Urge
$500 Pay Raise

Montgomery County's School
Board, its conservative ma
iority elected in November on
an economy platform, today
heard without comment a re-
quest for an increase in teach
ers' salaries.
Arthur d. Simonds, jr., ex-
ecutive secretary of the 1900
member Montgomery County
Education Association, asked
the board to raise salaries Of
beginning teachers from their
present $4,7O0 to $4,000 a year,
He also asked the board to pro-
vide additional school person
mel to relieve teachers of
duties in lunchtime and play
ground supervision of their
pupils.
Mr.. Simonds made no esti-
mate of what his proposals
would cost or how many of the
county's teachers would be af-
fected.
The scale in the District OF
Columbia already begins al
$4,000, he said.

He assumed the Laotian gov
ernment would take necessary
measures to stop the attacks

bean and in liquidating the
existing tensions"
This concluding act in the
Cuba drama thus reflected
many Of the previous acts in
that it found Moscow and
Washington in substantial
agreement, while Havana stri-
IDENTIFY disagreed.
Sources close to the long
private negotiations often have
described the triangle in those
terms, once Soviet Premier
Khrushchev decided to pull his
missiles out of Cuba.
The Moscow Havana differ
ences, now publicly acknowl-
edged. intensified speculation
that Mr.. Khrushchev may rot
indefinitely go on Subsidizing
Mr.. Castro.
United States policy toward
Mr.. Castro has been left un-
clear. President Kennedy re-
Gently has denied that the
policy is one of containment-
Cuba, he told the Bay of Pigs
prisoners, must again be free
on that it is one OF overthrow
by means of invasion.
Only Revolt Seems Left
This leaves overthrow BY
other means, including subver-
sion, palace revolt and guer-
rilla warfare, as the only al
ternatives visible to observers
Just how practical these meth
ods will prove to be is not YET
clear.
i Another major element ii
the picture which remain,
clouded is what, if anything
Moscow and Washington in,
tend to do to seek the genera
easing of tensions" which they
said might now be on the hori,
zon.
Only one glimmer of ligh
so far has emerged on Berlin
A hint by Mr.. Khrushchev tha
the continuing presence O
American, British, and French
troops in the city might nov
be negotiable.
Gloom still hangs over Gen,
eva arms talks, in which tn,
Soviet Union has not made {
significant forward step sine
the spring of 1860. Laos ant
Wet Nam remain stumbling
blocks. Moscow still has don,
nothing to help ease the Cong
crisis, and much to intensity il
U. N. diplomats are watching
the upcoming party congress il
East Germany for signs o
tangible movement. They fear
however, that Mr.. Khrushche'
is too preocupied with Ret
China to open a really mean
ingful negotiation with tn
West at this time.
Image Watched
Thus few here attach grea
significance to the studied dis
play of good fellowship in tn
Stevenson -Kuznetsov letter OF
Cuba.
U. N. diplomats think it i'm

There has been no promiS
by the United States not to in

TOURIST FACILITIES FOR ALL

THE VIRGIN ISLANDS are receiving Tremendous pub
licity in the United States. This has come in the form OF news
paper advertising, magazine articles, books, travel material,
and personal contact. Now, even radio and televiSion are be-
ing added to the long list, and the mainlander can turn on his
televisiOn set any day and hear comments, and see scenes from
any of these Islands.
THE OUTCOME of all the publicity has been a rapid
increase in the number of tourists, for people naturally tend
to want to 60 to those places which they see and hear about
most often. Time was, and not long ago, when a trip to the
Virgin Islands would create little str, and people would not
seem to know, or care. Not so today. 1t is the thing to fly
down to the Virgins" either for honeymoon, OF a quicke
vacation.
BUT A PROBLEM still remains which is not seeming to
receive too much serious attention. These Islands, whether we
are aware of it or not, are still in the strictly luxury class.
It seems as if all our tourist facilities are geared almost en-
tirely to the needs : and the pocketbookS OF the very
wealthy. This is not to say that this approach is necessarily
wrong. Not at all. The problem, however, is with the seeming
lack Of facilities for the mddleincome groups, which may
think in terms of heading in this direction.
AS A NATTER of business, and good business at that,
the needs Of the greatest number should always be provided
for. One need go no further than the great automobile indus
try. There are compact cars, and there are the extreme luxury
and prrestigecars. But by far the greatest number, the greatest
effort, and the great attention is given tothe "bread4SSzbutter
class. And why should there be any difference in tourist facil-
tiles, so far as these Islands are concernedFP ssss
HAVING MADE considerable mroads 1ip tourist in
