THE BATTALION Wednesday, April 26, 1961 College Station, Texas By The Associated Press VIENTIANE, Laos — A cease fire was accepted Tuesday by the U. S.-backed government and the pro-Communist Pathet Lao rebels but it appeared fighting will con tinue for several days. Neither side proposed a date for troops in the field to lay down their arms. The government said it will “await the reaction of our oppo nents to see if they will make con tact with us.” The Soviet news agency Tass in dispatch from Hanoi, Communist North Viet Nam, reported Pathet Lao leader Prince Souphanouvong pledged to order his “armed forces to cease fire throughout the coun try.” It mentioned no date. Britain and the Soviet Union, who proposed .the cease-fire, were sending invitations for a 14-nation conference May 12 in Geneva to negotiate for setting up an inde pendent, neutral Laos. Both the Pathet Lao and Pre mier Bonn Gum’s government in dicated a conference pray be neces sary even to arrange a cease-fire. Foreign Minister Chao Sopsai- Page 5 aotiaxi Rebels Accept Cease-Fire sana told newsmen a site has not been agi'eed upon, but indicated he favored the royal capital of Luang Prabang in the north. Neutralist ex-Premier Souvanna Phouma proposed all factions meet Friday in Xieng Khouang, in rebel- held northeastern Laos, for dis cussions on enlarging the govern ment. Souphanouvong said he was ready to send a delegation but there was an immediate reaction in Vietiane, the administrative capital. Souvanna, recognized by the Pathet Lao and the Communist bloc as Laos’ legal premier, said in North Viet Nam he considers indispensible the formation of an “enlarged provisional coalition gov ernment” to rule Laos. Royal officials said fighting con tinued in north and south-central Laos. But none of the clashes ap peared serious to Western ob servers. Economic Minister Ngon Sanan- ikone said rebel troops, who opened a strong drive southward over the weekend, have been halted at Ban Vang, 68 miles north of Vietiane.

Civil Defense Drills Set For Entire State Special to The Battalion Beginning at 3 p.m. Friday, Texans will be asked to engage in simulated wartime conditions as they participate in a nation-wide civil defense exercise. The annual testing of the na tion’s survival capabilities—dubbed “Operation Alert”-r-will again in volve an undisclosed number of Texas cities as likely targets for enemy bombers and missiles. “The exact targets, the size and types of weapons, and the fallout pattern have not been disclosed to participants,” James H. Garner, state coordinator of civil defense and disaster relief, said. “We have decided on this course for two reasons. First, the exercise will be more realistic if target cities are not told of their designation in advance. And secondly, local civil defense officials can better de- I termine the strengths and weak nesses of their planning if this method is followed.” When the simulated attack be gins, the State Disaster Control Center in the Department of Public Safety Building in Austin will be activated, as will all seventeen Disaster District and Sub-District centers. From State center, mem bers of the State Civil Defense Council will direct the exercise and maintain communications with all Texas cities via the state-wide communications net. A special feature in this year’s exercise will be a 30-minute nation wide Conelrad drill. From 3 until 3:30 p.m. Friday, all radio and TV stations will leave the air. The only broadcasting will be on the two Conelrad frequencies—640 and 1240. President Kennedy will de liver a message to the nation dur ing the Conelrad drill. Local civil defense directors will also use the time period to disseminate in formation on their local plans and to emphasize actions required for individual survival. During Operation Alert, approxi mately 500 Texas high schools and colleges will furnish radiological information on local fallout con ditions. This data will be detected with special radiological instru ments placed in their possession through a special radiological in struments program in effect in Texas for the past two years.* Danny Loyd, a junior veterinary medicine major from Texarkana, was elected president of the Texas Methodist Student Movement Coun cil for 1961-62 at the group’s Spring Leadership Conference in Kerrville last Saturday and Sun day.
