ULJSSIA, CHINA IN LAOS:
Communists Play Same Role
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
The Soviet Union's role in Laos
suggests that she and Red China
may be playing interchangeable
rather than merely complementary
roles in Communism's 1961 "Big
Push."
It also suggests that, in spite
of their seeming compromise over
who shall lay prime stress on
"peaceful coexistence" and who
shall hold in reserve the threat
of force to decide the cold war,

Objects to TV
'Untouchables'
WASHINGTON (P) - Director
James V. Bennett of the United
States Bureau of Prisons wired 10
television stations yesterday that
the bureau will oppose renewal of
their broadcasting licenses if they
showed the program, "The Un-
touchables," last night.
All the stations have applica-
tions pending before the Federal
Communications Commission for
renewal of regular three-year li-
censes.
Bennett has been battling with
the American Broadcasting Co.
over "The Untouchables," which
he contends has defamed officers
of the Prisons Bureau.
the West cannot afford to take
an eye of either one.
Although preoccupied with Rus-
sia and Russian arms in Cuba and
Laos, the United States' outgoing
President and incoming secretary
of state are taking time to em-
phasize concern over Red China.
There are two immediate rea-
sons.
One is a subtle but growing in-
clination in Western diplomatic
circles to credit Russia with a cur-
rent if no permanent leaning to-
ward continued non-shboting war.
This follows her argument with
China over coexistence, and down-
grades her triple display-in Laos,
Cuba and The Congo-of willing-
ness to intervene physically.
The other reason for America's
particular concern with Red China
is the approach of a time when
United States opposition will no
longer be sufficient to prevent
United Nations recognition.
When the Communist Idiom has
been sufficiently illumined by
deeds to make the recent Com-
munist Manifesto really under-
standable, we are quite likely to
find the two leading countries of
the bloc playing the same game
of expediency quite aside from
ideology.
Now that American weapons
have been pitted against Soviet
weapons in Laos, Western observ-
ers will be watching closely to see
what Red China, acting perhaps
through her associates in North
Viet Nam, will do as a corollary in
South Viet Nam.
There can be little doubt that
Moscow and Peiping consid'er this
Laotian-South Viet Nam front as
one front.
Both lost a long guerrilla war
to the British in Malaya, where
most of the Communists were
Chinese. Neither, in the long run,
will be satisfied to let that issue
remain settled,

WASHINGTON (P) - President
Dwight D. Eisenhower called on
his successor yesterday to stick
to principles which, he said have
kept America strong and free in
a world menaced by Communist
troublemakers.
Reviewing the record of his
eight years in office, during which
he said the country has risen to
unprecedented heights while hold-
ing Red imperialism in check,
Eisenhower said:

BATON ROUGE-The Louisiana Legislature fired another segre-
gation barrage in the New Orleans school crisis yesterday, passing
a measure to name a new city school board and again moving to dis-
miss the superintendent of schools.
The Legislature, the Orleans parish school board and superin-
tendent of schools James F. Redmond have been at odds for weeks
over integration of city schools.

WASHINGTON (M)-Dean Rusk,
soon to become the Kennedy Ad-
ninistration's secretary of state,
indicated yesterday there will be
no sharp departures from Eisen-
hower administration foreign pol-
icies, at least for the present.
Rusk submitted to questioning
by the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, although he won't be
nominated formally until after
John F. Kennedy is inaugurated
as President seven days from now.
Rusk was before the commit-
tee for more than two hours and
afterward chairman J. William
Fulbright (D-Ark) said it won't
be necessary to call him back.
Fulbright-who at one stage was
in the running for the secretary
of state post-said his committee
will consider action on Rusk's
nomination at its next business
meeting.
By all signs, Rusk will be ap-
proved.
Both Republican and Democrat-
ic senators probed for Rusk's
views on a number of interna-
tional issues-Red China, Cuba,
disarmament, summitry, United
States relations with its allies,
the fate of United States fliers
held in Russian prisons, to list a
few.
Party Chief
Hit for Lying
MOSCOW (tm--Premier Nikita
S. Khrushchev has reprimanded
the Communist party chief in the
great grain producing Ukraine for
lying about corn production,
warning "You will pay for this
lack of leadership."
The premier then suggested that
farmers be taught to operate trac-
tors and combines instead of im-
porting professionals from thou-
'sands of miles away for a harvest
lasting only 15 days.
The Central Committee, which
already has ordered a drastic
overhaul of the agricultural min-
istry, continued its secret ses-
sions yesterday on methods of
spurring farm output.

Soviet merchant marine minister,
of shadowing Soviet vessels or
swooping down over them on mis-

made such charges against the

"The general level of inaugurals

it up. Among the great exceptions
noted by Kennedy's reviewers is,
of course, Abraham Lincoln's
classic second inaugural speech.
