:, Young Pianist Quits Russia,
Hides in Britain With Wife

LONDON, April II (AP) -
.Nlatiimir Ashkenazy, the Soviet
Unions leading young concert
pianist, and his wife were hid
Ing in England today after an
.nepncing they had left Russia
bldefinitely to live in Britain.
SThe 25-year-old pianist in
.kisted he was not seeking politi-
i'eai~ asylum. saying, II am a
,Rlissian and I love my country"
Rrt the impression here was
that he had detected, as Ru-
dolf Nureyev, Leningrad Ballet
star, did in Paris in 1861.
Mr.. Ashkenazy came to Brit
ain on a concert tour last
month and brought his wife
and year-old son, Vladimir. He
said the Soviet government had
given him permission for an
Indefinite stay but he turned
% British authorities because
we did not know when the Rus
-siarl permission allowing us to
stay in England might be re-
Volked."
Wife's Request Granted
The Home Office said Mr..
Ashkenazy's wife, Dodie, a
native Of Iceland, was a resi-
dent of Britain for II years
before she married and had
asked to be allowed to take up
residence in Britain again. A
Home Office spokesman said
this was granted and, in ac-
cordance with normal custom,
the same privilege was extended
to her husband. The spokes-
man emphasized that political
asylum was not involved.
Mrs. Ashkenazy told a cor
respondent of the Icelandic
newspaper Morgunbladit she
had never liked Russia, Rus
sian habits or their way of
life"
Il have hoped from the be-
ginning to be able to leave
Russia and take my husband
and child to England" she
said.
Mrs. Ashkenazy said she is
expecting another child. Her
father, Johann Tryggvason, is
an orchestral conductor who
lives in London.
Reported Heading North
The pianist and his family
were reported travelling incog-
nito in Northern England. The
Morgunbladit correspondent
said they told him they wanted
to escape newsmen and Mr..
Ashkenazy wanted to practice.
Mr.. Ashkenazy's pre-emi-
nence among young Soviet
pianists was underlined last
year when the Soviet govern
ment picked him to enter the
second Tchaikovsky competi-
ton. The first Tchaikovsky
prize was won in 1858 by an
American, Van Cliburn, and
the Russians wanted a Russian
to get it. Mr.. Ashkenazy di-
vided the first prize with John
Ogdon, q Briton.

Pro-Reds Push
NeutraIists
Back in Laos

VIENTIANE. Laos, April II
(AP).-Outnumbered neutral
LIST troops driven from their
last jungle road outposts held
only the strategic Plaine des
Jarres and one other garrison
today. Both were surrounded
by pro-Communist Pathet Lac
forces.
Pathet Lao troops routed
trapped neutralists yesterday
from Dong Danh and Ban Kosi
their last outposts on the road
linking the provincial capital
of Xieng Khouang and the
Plaine.
About 100 Of Gen. Kong Les
retreating neutralists and three
tanks made their way through
the jungle to the Plaine,
sources returning from the
crisis area said. One Kong LIE
aide reported three neutralists
were killed, two were wounded
and six were missing.
Garrison Surrounded
The withdrawal was the first
neutralist pullback since the
collapse Of a short-lived cease
fire Sunday. 1t left the bulk
of Gen. Kong Les army trapped
on the hill-locked Plaine, a
six-mile-long plateau lis miles
south Of Vientiane. Pathet Lao
forces looked down from the
surrounding hills.
The neutralist general still
has another garrison at Phon
Savan, a town 8 miles north
east of the Plaine. That, too,
is reported surrounded by the
Pathet Lao. .
Gen. Kong lie has about
5000 troops. He has estimated
the strength Of the opposing
Pathet Lao forces in the area
at 5000.
The neutralist setbacks re-
newed fears that all-out civil
war may engulf Laos again. 1t
was generally believed the
Pathet Laos goal is control of
the Plaine des Jarres, which
commands q major north
south route.
Peking Blames U. s.
Neutralist Premier Prince
Souvanna Phouma plans a

Meanwhile, Peking Radio
charged that two battalions Of

mier, acknowledged q request

If Prince Souvanna approved.
Red China also called on
the Soviet Union and Britain

newed fighting.

New York Paper Strike
Continues in 5th Week

NEW YORK, Jan. 5 (AP)
- New York's newspaper
strike entered its fifth week to-
day with no end in sisht.
William E. Simkin, director
of the Federal Mediation and
Cancellation Service, said no
date was set for a resumption
negotiations, which broke off
in a deadlock Thursday.
Mr.. Simkin said, however, he
would be in frequent touch
with the Publishers Association
of New York City and the strik-
ing Local No. 6, International
Typographical Union, AFL :
CIO.
A House of Representatives
subcommittee revealed, mean
while, 1t will take a look into
the strike, probably next
month.
Representative Emanuel Gel
Ter, New York Democrat and
chairman Of an antitrust sub
committee which has been
planning for a year to inquire
into declining competition
among news media, did not go
into detail as to what the sub
committee would try to learn
about the strike.

past week he and his advisers
already began speaking with
the new authority they expect
to obtain.
On New Years eve the Pres
ident gave the nation the gen.
eral outlines Of a new three
year development plan. He
said 1t would be the corner
stone Of his new administra-
ton.
The most encouraging aspect
Of this is the promise to COM
bat initiation. Mr.. Goulart
promises to halve it during
1868, and then halve it again in
1854, so that by the end of his
term it will be down to man
ageable 10 per cent a year.
Officials here are reServing
judgment until they have seen
the detailed plan and some ac-
ton to back it. They say they
have heard too many Brazilian
promises about fiscal response
bility in the past two years to
take these new ones at face
value.
Still a question is how soon
President Goulart actually will
get back full executive powers.
No matter what the electorate
decides today, the new Con-
gress still must spell out any
new system with legislation.

| a leading contender for the
presidency again in 1865, anc
therefore outspokenly opposed
to trimming preside e n ii a
powers.
For all these reasons the
speculation in informed quar-
ters here and in Brazil is not
so much about the outcome OF
the plebiscite as about how
President Goulart will act once
he has won.
About 18 million registered
voters are eligible to partici-
pate, but there is doubt that
any more than SIS to go per
cent will vote. There was about
rs per cent participation in
the important congressional
elections last october.
Timing Important
The timing Of the plebiscite
probably will contribute to the
reduced vote. october is the
accepted political season" in
Brazil, while January is given
over to non-political prepara-
tions for the festive pre-Lenten
carnival.
For that reason the margin
of Mr.. Goulart's victory today
is not generally regarded here
as any reliable indicator of his
potential strength or weakness
in the months ahead. In the

And If it is. successor Presi-
dent Joao (Jango) Goulart
will be we'll on the way to re.
trieving the strong presiden-
tial powers taken from him by
a suspicious military in 1861.
For we'll over a year Mr.
Goulart has bent every effort
toward this end. He has
claimed that the country can
not be governed under the par
liamentary system. The feud-
ing of splintered political par
ties in Congress has helped
him prove the point.
Verge of Bankruptcy
The result has been a year
and half of tailspin which has
brought Brazil to the verge OF
economic and political bank
ruptcy. In 1862 initiation gal
loped at a phenomenal so per
cent, and Brazilian noises of
"neutralism" toward Cuba
and the Sino-Soviet bloc have
increasingly disrupted the
hemisphere.
Top political leaders in Bra
zil-who have little in common
with Mr.. Goulart-have also
aligned themselves against the
parliamentary system. Perhaps
the most prominent is former
