PAGE TWO SEAT a F arful Will Co to Reds BANGKOK, Thailand. (IP) Anxiety in this SEATO headquarters city- was heightened yesterday by reports that the neutralist government of Laos plans a coalition with the pro-Communist Pathet Lao and will seek aid from Communist China and North Viet Nam. The general feeling here is that political action is needed Phouma Moves To End Strife Within Laos VIENTIANE, Lao; (/1 ) ) Pre mier Prince Souvanna Phouma announced yesterday he has signed an agreement with the leader of the Pathet Lao on ways to end the 6-year civil war in Laos. This dispatch was delayed and cut by the censor in Vientiane. The Communist-led Pathet Lao, has been waging the civil war since the French got out of Indo china in 1954. Among the new policies announced earlier by Souvanna Phouma's government, apparently in response to Pathet Lao pressure, was establishing relations with Communist China and its satellite, North Viet Nam. Souvanna, a neutralist, report ed the agreement with Prince Souvanna Vong, his half-brother and leader of the Pathet Lao, on his return from the Pathet Lao stronghold at Sam Neua, in north ern Laos. This agreement, however, rep resents a two-way pact in what is actually a three-way civil war. As such, it leaves the settlement of the war as remote as it was before Souvanna flew to Sam Neua Friday. Formation of a coalition gov ernment also requires the ap proval of King Savang Vatthana, who is in the royal seat of Luang Prabang now controlled by Phou mi's forces. Suggesting that Phoumi's rep resentatives be included in the projected coalition government airpeared to be merely a political gambit on the premier's part. The Pathet Lao and Phoumi's regime have refused to have anything to do with each other. Endowments .Helpful Endowments to the University provide most of the auxiliary buildings on campus.

LISTEN TO 1450 ON YOUR DIAL "News and Music For Your Listening Pleasure" Laos For Aid at SEATO's highest level. That would be: The Council of For eign ministers of the member countries the United States, Britain. France, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines and Thailand. But the council is not scheduled to meet until March. "By that time it may be too late." one Westerner said. SEATO's military a d vis ers ended a three-day conference Fri day with a pledge to maintain contestant vigilance and take "suitable and timely action should the occasion demand." SEATO's hands seem tied by its charter. When the anti-Communist alli ance was formed in 1954 under the guidance of John Foster Dulles. then U.S. secretary of state, the idea was to surround the rower vacuum left in Indochina by the withdrawal of the French after a long and costly war. The newly independent Indo chinese states Laos, Cambodia and South Viet Nam were de clared out of bounds to military alliances by the agreements end ing the war. But a special clause in the SEATO charter extended the protection of the alliance to the three states in the event of outside aggression or internal dis order that might endanger the treat V area. The hitch is that SEATO protection can only come "at the invitation or with the con sent of the government con cerned." And it is highly unlikely that Laos' neutralist premier, Prince Sou;•anna Phouma, viII ever ask for SEATO intervention. Thailand, the closest SEATO country to the danger zone. has been openly upset by SEATO's in action. It shares the long north-' eastern border with Laos and would be particularly vulnerable. if that neighboring kingdom went i Communist. —The Associated Press reports that Yugoslavia and Czechoslo vakia have announced agreement on a $O2 million trade pact for 1961.
