Administration Considers
Laotian Defense Policy
; WASHINGTON WP) The Kenft
ncdy administration was-said yesr
terday to be conducting a full-,
dress review of its policies toward
Laos, ignited by the collapse of
royal Lao army defenses under
Communist attack. i
HIGH OFFICIALS said the ref
view is a sweeping one and in
eludes the possibility of sending in
some U.S. or'Allied forces in th£
event other means fail to restore
some stability in the strategic
little South-east Asian kingdom.'
The U.S. position is that it
would still like to see the restora
tion of a cease-fire and the forma;-
tion of a coalition neutral govf
eminent under Prince Souvanna
Phouma. i
But the possibility is now be*
ing weighed that the Communist
forces would not agree to a restor
ation of the cease-fire but would
continue their campaign to sweep

The gloom in Washington height

told of the rout of the royal Lao
forces after the fall of Nam Tha
last Sunday. | .
Kennedy set up an appointment
this morning with Secretary Rusk,
Secretary of Defense Robert; S.
McNamara and Gen. Lyman Lem
nitzer, chairman of the. Joint
Chiefs of Staff. The latter two
have justi visited Viet Nam, and
presumably were briefed on the
current situation in neighboring
Laos. ! .

munications with The town of
Nam Tha, rare not good. He did
not immediately confirm the loss
|of that town. and. its. airport to
[Communist forces.
“The reports at best are
sketchy,” White said. “They do
indicate there has been no effec
tive defense against the Pathet
Lao and Communist North Viet
Nam troops,-
"THE ROYAL Lao soldiers are
making their way across the Me
kong River into Thailand.”
White recalled that Gen. Phou
mi Nosavan, the strong man of the
royal government and minister of
defense.and interior, has said that’
despite the events in northern
Laos he is willing to continue
talks looking toward the forma
tion of a government of national
union.
White emphasized that the cre
ation of such a neutral govern
ment can be fulfilled only by re
storing and maintaining a cease
fire.
