But after a defense strategy , conference with Griniov that lasted more than an hour, Park er declined to discuss the trial itself or the condition of Pow- , ers. Griniov told them be had , just come' from a long morning •1 1 conference with the ilier. Parker told a news nonlerenee: I"Everybody was impressed 'by his i(Griniov's) sincerity, his appar ent ability and frankness. We were favorably impressed with him and his desire to cooperate. ,He has a heavy job, a great job, land lie is going to give the •best he has got. "This feeling is general among all the Virginia attorneys." Grin km is a kindly faced little man, with thinning, close-cropped gray hair and a tiny beard. He is said to have handled many criminal ;eases in the Soviet Union. Griniov was one of the Soviet prosecutors at the Nuernberg trials of Nazi leaders. So was Powers' chief prosecutor, Roman A.

STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Shows Lawyer Low Said Not Violated, By U 2 Flight WASHINGTON (N)—There the persuasive reasons for the i view that 132 reconnaissance flights over the Soviet Union did not violate international law, a congressional commit tee lawyer said yesterday. Giving his views in a talk pre pared for a meeting of the Inter national Astronautical Federation in Stockholm, Spencer M. Beres ford said he was not discussing whether the flights may have vio lated Soviet domestic law, under which the pilot of •a downed 112 plane is being tried in Moscow be ginning Wednesday. Beresford is special counsel to the House Space Committee. He said the opinion he expressed was personal, not official. He said there is good reason to challenge the contention that the U 2 flights were, under in ternational law, invasions of Soviet airspace, or espionage or aggression. The question of So viet domestic law is irrelevant, to this discussion, he argued, since there is no applicable agreement between the 'United States and the Soviet Union and no sovereign country is bound by the internal laws of another. Beresford based part of his 'ar , gument on the acceptance by var ious countries of satellite orbits in outer space above their terri tory, The 112. Beresford mid, while' not a satellit, operate 3 at alti tudes approximating some of the conditions of space certainly above the limits at - which humans could survive • without .special equipment. Be said the bounds of saver .eignly are sometimes set by the limits of effective control and "the Soviet Union itself appears to have accepted effective con trol as the limit of its three di mensional sovereignly, by not objecting to the earlier U 2 flights."• If it is true that the U 2 de scended into Soviet airspace un intentionally because of a flame out or similar mishap, Bererford said, "then surely the controlling provisions ate those that permit an aircraft to enter foreign terri tory in case , of distress." On the question of espionage, he contended the U 2 flights "were not clandestine—unless something is wrong with Soviet radar. Nor were they made under false pre tenses." Moreover, he said, de spite demeStic iaw, "espionage has long been tolerated under cus tomary international law." Laos Premiership Given to Neutralist VIENTIANE, Laos (?P)—The premiership of Laos has been handed to Prince Souvanna Phouma, a neutralist who once made a truce with the Communist Pathet Lao guerrillas. The rebel military command that seized this raiiiital hst Tuesday said King Savang Vathana yesterday accepted its choice a pilau= to succeed pro: Western Tiao Somsanith's govern ment Repercussions were feared from the United States, whit% has been paying most of the kingdom's bills and training its 30.000-man royal army in jun gle teems to fight Bed guer rillas. The appointment raised the prospect of a new trace with the . Peale Lao. That -would discour age any further heavy U.S. fi nancing of the Laotian military establishment. Phourna icing has *held the be lief that the only way to save this Asian kingdom fron the fatal ern brace -of neiihboring acd China is to keep it neutral in the cold war. The rebels under Kiang Le, 35, paratrooper, captain, pro chart' tad a new policy of neu tralism® and called for an end to government corruption itu tak ing over this capital. Sornsanith, who was an the roy al capital of Luang Prabang when this administrative capital was seized, had pledged to end cor ruption in becoming premier last May. Campaign charges of cor ruption involved mainly misuse of U.S. aid. Sornsanith. had 'strong backing from royal army elements con cerned with getting 'U.S. money, equipment and training, and he tied his foreign policy closely with the West. Now Kong Le is demanding that U.S. military ad visers go home, and Phouma will be under pressure to see that they leave. Another rebel demand is an end of the fighting with the Pathet Lao guerrillas. The Pre mier's half-brother, Prince Sou vanna Vong, heads the Pathet Lao and is believed lurking somewhere in the jungles not far from Vientiane. He escaped ' last June from a Vientiane pris on, where he was being held on treason charges. Phouma worked out a truce with his half-brother in 1957 and brought .him into n coalition gov ernment, but the coalition col lapsed in 1958. Phouma returned to active political life as president of the National Assembly after eledions in April.
