Tshombe of Katanga Province,
who stalked out of Coquilhatville's
unity conference because the cen

ed Nations demand to clear all
foreign advisers out of the Congo.
Late yesterday, Tshombe went
to town from the airport, where
he had been detained two days.
He was accompanied by Presi
dent Laurent Eketebi of Equa
tor Province and Col.Ndjoko, an
aide to Congolese President Jo
seph Kasavubu. He said, how
ever, he had made no promise
to return to the conference
table.
Tshombe had been on a hunger
strike at the airport since Wednes
day when soldiers prevented him
from returning to Elisabethville,
his capital. -
His anger rose yesterday
when Kasavubu turned over
five of his top Belgian advisers
to the United Nations.
The five, who included Alex

capital of Equator Province 375

Diplomats
Assemble In
Laos Capital
LUANG PRABANG, Laos
(/P)—Laotian officials and for
eign diplomats assembled in
this mountain-rimmed royal
capital yesterday for Satur
day's cremation of the late
King Sisavang Vong.
Diplomatic sources said there
was no word of any Pathet Lao
rebel answer to the government's
proposal for a cease-fire at noon
yesterday.
There were plenty of rumors.
The strongest was that ex-Pre
' mier Souvanna Phouma and his
half.brother, Prince Souphanou
vong, leader of the pro-Corn
munist Pathet Lao, were flying
here Saturday the cremation
rites.
That would be - ,a highly im
portant event since it would open
the possibility for some sort of
negotiations aimed at ending the
fighting and starting discussions
on a political settlement.
The possibility the rites might
turn into a political conference
of all Laotian factions seemed
to be the only note of optimism
for Western powers seeking to
end the civil war.
The present government's
worsening position plainly con
cerned President Kennedy, who
opened consultations with Allied
governments and congressicinal
leaders on what steps must be
taken to prevent a complete rebel
victory in Laos. Informed offi
cials said these steps could in
clude Allied military intervention.
