Laos or all-out warfare.
According to this theory, the
identity Of the center must be
preserved in order to have a
buffer between left and right.
This view. not shared en-
Enthusiastically in the United
States Embassy, produces a
kind Of defeatism. Every new
indication that the troika is
impractical discourages still
more those striving for the
troika as the best of all feasible
worlds.
Backstage Maneuvers
1t also puts the free world at
a disadvantage in the backstage
maneuvering. The Communists
have a clear-cut policy. They
want a Communist Laos.
The West does not have a
clear-cut attainable policy. It
wants a troika.
One is reminded of the old
political adage you can't beat
somebody with nobody" This
is not intended as a reflection
on Souvanna personally. He is
undoubtedly the best Prime
Minister available at this time.
But the troika policy is a moth
ing policy which shows no
promise of licking the Com
munists.
Its justification has been and
is that, since a troika is what
the Laotians want, backing q
troika is the strongest an d
most popular line to take.
This has proved true to some
extent, in that relations be-
tween Souvanna and the West
and between Kong lie and the
West have vastly improved.
But it does not give real prom
Use Of keeping Laos free and
independent.
The troika policy came under
very severe test last month.
Had the Communists pressed
their attacks it might have
been abandoned.

which should not be overlooked.

charged today that pro- Com

threatened to abandon peace

The attack - called totally
'unprovoked" by q Western dip

Prince Souvanna blamed the
Pathet Lao for the incident
after his return from truce
talks at Pathet Lao headquart-
ers. He said he may not resume
the negotiations.
II don't know yet" he said,
looking grim and tired. But
may not return to the Plaine

Prince Souvanna was shaken
by the attack yesterday on the

diplomat said.
Fired Point Blank
Prince Souvanna said the
Pathet Lao who shot point

the site of the attack, near the
neutralist-held plain, ITO miles
northeast Of Vientiane.

ForLaosFade;;
Alliance Shaky
BY WILLIAM r. FRYE
Star Rpecial Writer

VIENTIANE, Laos, May A.
Once again Laos appears to
have pulled back from the
brink of disaster. But each
such brush with death leaves
this unhappy kingdom weaker
The tragedy of Laos is the
lack Of a visible future-a goal
toward which reasonable men
can realistically strive. Neutral
ism was to have been such q
goal but Prince Souvanna
Phouma, the neutralist Pre-
mier, has failed to build @
strong center around which the
right and left would be i'm

Thus the troika has limpec
along, never really working. Al
present the Prime Minister can.
not even travel to parts Of hi;
own country without Commu-
mist authorization. The Pathet
Lao is q kind of government
within a government.
1t is easy to say I'VE told you
so"-and many people are say
ing 1t. But this does not solve
the problem.
Some see a glimmer Of hope
In the fact that the center and
right were forced into a tenn
porary alliance, or at least q
working arrangement, by the
Communist attack on neutralist
General Kong lie in April.
If carried far enough this
qualification Of on-Commu-
mist forces could indeed give
Laos hope. Malaga succeeded
in surmounting q Communist
challenge as serious as that in
Laos when this kind Of thing
happened.
Position Of the Center
But the center in Laos doe,
not appear to want such ar
outcome. 1t is not regarded as
a desirable goal. Souvanna ano
Kong LIE have co-operated with
the right wing almost against
their will, because there was nc
alternative.
Now that the Pathet Lao ha,
at least momentarily let up or
the military pressure the un-
easy alliance of center anc
right is again coming loose al
the seams.
Much of the diplomatic COM
munity here, including some OF
its most influential members
take the line that the best at
tainable outcome-indeed some
say the ideal outcome-woulc
be a successful working troika

''The Living Sea" Is Book Of the Month for May

One of the most fascinating true adventure stories of our time, The Living Sea, by Capt. Jacques
 Yves Cousteau, is the Book of the
 Month Club selection for May. Many readers will remember Captain Cousteau's now-famous first book about underwater ex-
 ploration, The Silent World, pulp
 lished a decade ago. In the inter- vening years, the noted French diver and his associates often at the peril of their lives-have ven tured deeper and deeper into vast world which has scarcely yet been glimpsed; an underwater region unknown and even unsus- pected by most human beings. The Living Sea is an absorbing narra- tive account-and a fascinating photographic record as well-of the discoveries Cousteau and his daring explorers have made.
