PAGE TWO Diplomats Doubt Red Intervention BANGKOK, Thailand (4 1 )—Many U.S. diplomats in Asia doubt the charges of their own government that substantial numbers of outside Communist forces have intervened in Laos, informed sources said yesterday. Other members of the Southeaot Asia Treaty Organiza tion, here for a council meeting, have been reluctant to accept the charges. SEATO statements so far have denounced Soviet arms aid to Laotian rebels but have made no mention of outside troop intervention. Informed sources said U.S. diplomats in Laos and at this SEATO headquarters doubt that outside Communist forces in any large numbers are tak ing part in the fighting in the neighboring kingdom. They said other U.S. officials in this area, apparently including representatives of the Central In telligence Agency, are equally' convinced that substantial num-, hers of Red troops have entered' Laos. Nigeria Orders French Diplomats Out of Country LAGOS, Nigeria OTh Protest ing France's recent third atomic blast in the Sahara, Nigeria last night ordered the French am bassador and his staff to leave within two days. It also barred French ships and planes. Information Minister T. 0. S. Benson told a news conference Ambassador Raymond Of froy must be gone by Saturday night. Transit of French ships and planes was barred immediately, he said. Benson said sterner measures will be taken against France if Sahara testing goes on. Nigeria has since been a leader in the moderate progressive group of new African nations -- somewhat apart from such countries as Gui nea and Ghana, which lean left in the cold 'war, and the less asser tive former French colonies. In Paris French government sources had no immediate com ment. France has ignored protests against the Sahara testing of at omic devices, insisting they , ►re necessary for development of a nuclear deterrent and that all ex plosions are carefully controlled. France exploded its third test device in the desert Dec. 27 at Reggan, about 900 miles from Nigeria's border. Nigerian news papers, trade unions, political parties and citizens immediately protested.

(AP)—Opposition by the United States and other Western powers doomed yesterday any chances for Security Council action on Cuba's charges that she faced imminent threat of invasion by U. S. military forces. . Chile's Daniel Schweitzer told the 11-nation council that in view of such opposition his country would not press to a vote a Chilean-Ecuadorian resolution merely calling on the United States and Cuba to resolve their differences by peaceful means. The United States made known it was vigorously opposed to any resolution that would cast the smallest shadow of legality on the accusations by the regime of Pre mier Fidel Castro with which it has severed diplomatic relations. Failure by the council to take any action would be another slap at the charges brought by Cuba— and supported by the Soviet Union—that the United States was planning to send troops into action to depose Castro. The resolution submitted by Chile and Ecuador was the only one before the council. Kennedy Asks Farm Leta 'ers To Help Form Future Policy NEW YORK (/P) Presi dent-elect John F.
