While a friend of mine was
on trip to the United States,
he and his host we're talking
about health
my doctor said l need more
exercise" the American sighed.
He said that, instead of using
the car so much, l should BIZ
cycle"
What a coincidence" laugh
ed my Dutch friend, who comes
from a country where everyone
cycles. my doctor told me to
stop using the bicycle and
walk"

RyA,
Greetings from Oshrin Hospital
By Oreley Hahn

Three years ago in October,
1860, | landed here in Tucson
and became a patient among all
tribes of Indians here at tine
Oshrin Hospital. For three years
I haven't had pass to go back
to my reservation, but the first
week of this month | left on a
pass, for my aunt'S funeral. l
enjoyed the trip and I'm glad
l saw my friends again Pm
glad Pm recuperating very well
from my two stages of opera
tionS.
All my gratitude goes to the
professional surgeons at st.
Mary's Hospital here in Tucson.
I'm improving and getting to
my self again, and l hope my
departure from this hospital
will be in the near future. |
like this place as the nurses
and doctors are treating me
fine. l have no complaints about
the doctors, nurses, StaffS, nurS-
es aides and orderlies. These are

want to thank her and the kids.
Now we are planning to enter
some of our things in the State
Fair in Phoenix. Anyone who
wishes to send an exhibit to

Building Motions
Is Primary Task

A. ! would turn the whole
thing around and say the task
In Asia is the much more posi-
tive task of building nations,
viable nations, stable nations,
strong nations, self-sufficient
nations who are part of a free
world system supporting them
politically, economically and In
many cases militarily. That Is
not q policy Of merely con-
tanning communism, but a posi-
tive policy. politically. econom-
icaly and pSychologically.
@. Is 1t fair to say the only
thing that has kept Laos stable
at all, If that is the word, has
been the threat Of United
States intervention?
A. Well, there are a lot OF
factors In this equation that
I wouldn't rule out. One is the
factor Of pro- Western forces ir
Laos. Another factor is that O
large proportion of the Lac
people want to be neutral. And
I think the American interest
in Laos and Southeast Asia Is
also certainly a factor.

gencies. Our activity at the mo-
ment is political and diplo-
matte, too see whether the So
viets and the other Communists
are going to honor the Ge-
neva accords, to support
Neutralist Premier Souvanna
Phouma.
AS you know, Gov. Harri-
mans purpose in going to Mos
COW Is to discuss the matter
with Foreign Minister Gromykc
and with Khrushchev. What
the Soviet Union and other
Communist signatories do in
fulfillment of their commit
ments will determine whether
an accord of this sort can be
maintained, and to what extent
the Communists are ready to
live UP to their agreements.
@. There are people who say
we wrote Laos off last summer
when we set up this three
headed government. Is that
true?
A. I don't think 1t is true in
any sense. The President was
faced with three choices - do
you abandon Laos, do you try
for a military solution which
means American troops fighting
there, or do you try to find q
middle way, a political solu-
ton?

Issue More Political
Than military Now

A. The Neutralists ts-who are
in the best position to know
say there have been Wet Mini
present in some of the attacks
But let me make 1t clear that
the issue right now-as Of this
moment-is not so much mill
tary as political. The skir-
mishes that pushed back the
t, Neutralist enclaves did not
have more than 100 men on
each side.
At the moment there Is q
temporary cease-fire. which Is
supposedly still in effect. But
on the other side. you have the
question whether the Soviets
continue to honor the Geneva
accords. Our policy is to con-
tinue to support the Geneva
agreements and the Laotian
government Of National Union.

@. Can we afford to let the
Communists overrun the right
ist position7
A. I would hesitate to make
any predictions about what we
would do In each Of what is
O very wide range Of contin-

No Options Lost
THROUGH Agreements

I think 1t is worth 1t for us
to support the Geneva Agree
mentS right down to the end.
And doing so does not close
out any of the options of a year
ago.
@. Does 1t surprise you that
there is now trouble with this
three-party govrnment?
A. ! don't think anyone e
thought things would be easy
in Laos. Last September, I re-
member saying that the future
in Laos would be q series Of
uneasinesses and periodic crises
and that trying the political
solution was still worth 1t.
No one thought there would
be any quick and easy move
ment from the 1862 cease-fire
to the integration Of the Lao
armed forces and the establish
ment Of an effective neutral
government extending over al
Laos. But ! don't think any
one has written Laos off.
@. You say the options avail
able to us last summer are still
available. If we choose the op-
ton to fight, what would this
involve for us?
A. Well, I really don't think
that I have any right to specu-
late about that, because SC
much depends on the contin-
gencies and what the other side
does and what other people do;
when you have a multi-fac-
tored situation, 1t is useless to
speculate about what the Unit
ed States would do in each Of q
variety Of hypothetical situa-
tions.
@. Is there any reason for
thinking that the Moscow In
fluence in Laos is eroding un-
der the pressure Of Red China
A. This again is one of those
questions which we all want tc
know but you have to wait on
events to see.

Laos Issue More Political Than Military

fighting. They yearn for peace
and most Of them for neu.
trality. The Geneva Accords
are the answer and we are al
waiting to see If the Commu.
nists will honor them.
@. Suppose we lost South.
east Asia. What difference
would that makep How does Il
affect me. the average guy or
the street?
A. Let's start at a very gen.
eral level. John Donne said
mo man Is an island" Imagine
the United States completely
isolated and all the rest Of the
world hostile. It would be 9
pretty grim existence. Our way
Of life would be completely al,
tered for the worse, and mos
Of our energies would have Il
go into just surviving in such
a hostile world.
Compare that existence with
living in q free world system
composed Of diverse cultures
but with cooperation anc
friendliness at least over Q
substantial portion of the globe
That is the context in which
we want to live. That is oul
stake in Latin America anc
Africa as we'll as Asia.
@. The central problem ir
this whole area, of course, Ii
Red China. Are there any
means by which the United
States might help to break
down the isolation that now
affects China and in some
manner bring about a better
relationship between Commu-
nistic China and our part Of
the world?
A. Well, 1t seems to me that
any initiative on our part
would be foolish until the Chi
nese Communist leopard indi-
Gates that 1t has changed Its
spots. I don't think recognition
Of Red China would be worth
while. nor admission to the
United Nations, until 1t be-
comes a different kind Of
regime-until the Chinese Com
muniSts give some indication
Of a willingness to change their
basic hostility toward free and
independent societies.
On the other side, there is
still a lot we can do. It's
striking to me that no country
has ever voluntarily gone Com
munist, but many have volun-
tarily gone free world. The ap-
peal Of the free world is It's
respect for the individual, Its
tolerance for diversity Of both
culture and personality. Our
goal is to build q system OF
free. independent, and stable
countries, each capable OF
standing on its own feet pre-
serving its own unique way OF
life.
Here is an area where we
have made a lot of strides-in
nation building. 1t Is really
helping these people come out
from feudal eras, underdevel-
oped eras, and yet preserving
the essence Of their own cul-
ture. Japan is a striking ex-
ample of great progress. Look
at all that has been accom-
plished in the Philippines and
the Republic Of China.
There is a lot happening in
Thailand along these lines, and
a lot happening in Wet Nam
even while they are under the
guns of Communist terrorism
Evening star., 1963-04-28

! are going to bring about a COL
lapse Of the Communist regime
In China?
A. I would hesitate to predict
the exact nature of changes
that will go on in China II we
are successful in building
strong and stable nations In
this part Of the world. 1t may
be that In the short run, as
they see free nations succeed
ing. the Communists may be-
come more aggressive. I would
say that this prospect should
not deter us. On the other
hand, the vision Of free and
proSpering nations around
them may give the Chinese
people some ideas.
Q. II this present Laotian
compromise government goes
down the drain, what would
that do to South Wet Nam2
A. If the pro-Western forces
continued to control the i'm
portant lowlands and the bulk
Of the population and the
Communists were confined to
the mountains, as they are
now. the effect on south Wet
Nam would be about the same
as 1t has been for a year OF
more. If the situation changes
and there is a massive assault
on the pro-Western forces II
would raise a question about
the effect on Wet Nam.
@. What about the effect on
ThailandP
A. A massive assault on the
pro- Western forces would put
Thailand under immediate
threat without a buffer.
@. To what extent are we
committed to aid Thailand2
A. We are allies under
SEATO.
@. The attack never seems
to be clear-cut; 1t is subversion
and terrorism.
A. This Is where Thailand
has made progress. 1t has been
more and more conscious Of Its
vulnerability to subversion and
Communist terrorism and q
whole lot Of defensive programs
- nation-building programs -
are going forward there.
@. Just to look at our whole
posture in Southeast Asia, Is II
fair to say we are trying to
contain communism and not
doing much about actually roll
ing it back2
Evening star., 1963-04-28

1t is both strategically i'm
portant and politically impor-
tant-important in a geopoliti-
cal sense. II you like that term.
AS the President said the other
day: IF Laos fell in Com
munist hands, 1t would increase
the danger along the northern
frontiers Of Thailand; 1t would
put additional pressure in Cam
bodia and would put additional
pressure in South Wet Nam,
which themselves would put ad-
ditional pressure on Malaga.
So I do accept the view that
there is an inter-relationship
in these countries, and that's
why we are-one of the reasons
why we are concerned with
maintaining the Geneva Ac-
cords as a method of main-
tanning stability in Southeast
Asia. 1t may be one of the
reasons why others do not share
that interest
Q. But is Laos important?
A. Strategically, the signifi-
cance Of Laos is precisely that
1T lies In the center Of the
Southeast Asian promontory. It
is landlocked, it is remote, It
Is underpopulated. But 1t is in
the center, having borders with
different countries. and north
south lowlands along the Me-
kong River Of great potential
significance as q supply and
communications route.
Right now the portion Of
Laos held by the Communists
is largely mountainous jungle,
while the bulk Of the popula-
ton is In the part held by
pro-Western forces in the Me-
kong lowlands. The north
south communication route is
also held by the pro-Westerns
AS well as the bulk Of the
economy. So right now what
the Communists hold is not as
significant as what the pro-
Westerns hold.
Politically. Laos is also i'm
portant. The people Of Laos
have suffered through much

Could Be Fast
Or Take Iona Time

@. How long can we wait To
see whether the Soviets are
able to enforce a return to the
Geneva Accords?
A. The answer could come
very fast or take q long time,
q. Do you subscribe to the
"dominoes" theory II Laos
goes. does this have grave i'm
plications for Thailand and
South Vietnam2
A. II you look at q map Of
Asia. you can see that South
east Asia is an important
salient into the arc Of Asia.

A political solution to the
Laos crisis still is possible, ac-
cording to Roger Hilsman, As
sitant Secretary of State for
Far Eastern Affairs.
Without forecloSing the pos
sibility Of military action, Mr..
Hilsman said the issue is mot
so much military as political"
Skirmishes that pushed back
neutralist forces involved no
more than 100 men on each
side. he said in an interview.
Mr.. Hilsman, in an exclusive
on the record interview with
The Star, the Detroit News,
Newark News and st. Louis
Post Dispatch, said American
policy is to restore three-sided
government in Laos, consisting
OF pro-American, neutralist and
ro-Communist factions in a
coalition. The Communist Pa
thet Lao forces have been har-
RAISING the neutralists.
Pact Made at Geneva
The coalition government
was set up through a treaty
signed in Geneva last sum-
mer. Mr.. Hilsman commented:
What the Soviet Union and
other Communist signatories do
In fulfillment of their commit
ments will determine whether
an accord of this sort can be
maintained"
Mr.. HilSman said President
Kennedy has three choices: DO
you abandon Laos; do you try
for a military solution which
means American troops fighting
there, or do you try to find /
a middle way, a political
solution?"
Whlle keeping all options
alive, Mr.. Hilsman indicated.
the President Is trying for q
political solution.
A transcript Of the interview
follows:
@. Things look very black In
Laos. What are the courses of
action that are available to us?
A. I can't answer that ques-
ton without some sort Of a re-
view of what has happened
recently in Laos.
Until a few weeks ago the
Neutralist forces were centered
IN the Plaine des Jarres area,
but also spotted around in odd
places here and there with
Communist Pathet Lao forces
IN between. What happened
was that the Pathet Lao, the
Communists, began to harass
the NeutraliSt forces and to cut
off their supplies. Then several
OF the Neutralists were assas-
sinated and things began to
escalate. The situation is that
the Communists have been at
tacking the Neutralists, but
have not yet attacked the right ,
wing-at least as Of this mo-
ment or as Of five minutes ago.
If the Communists should en-
bark on an all-out attack on
the Phoumi. the pro-Western,
forceS-it would be difficult toI
predict the consequences.
1t seems to me that the Com
munist attack on the Neutral
lists raises the question of
whether the Communists still
subscribe to the Geneva ac-
cords. This is the issue at the
moment.
@. How close to elimination
are the Neutralists; is that a
real danger?
A. Well. the Neutralist posi- /,
ton is not terribly strong. They
are certainly outnumbered by
the Communists. It Is q hard
question to answer-how good t,
is your crystal ball? There
would be real doubt about the f,
Neutralists holding their pres ,
ent positions which are deep
inside Communist territory
the whole Of the Pathet Lao ,
attacked with Wet Mini help.
@. Is the Wet Mini from
Communist North Wet Nam at
tacking yet?
