Lao neutralists, with Souphanou-
vong as deputy prime minister.
The government has agreed to
appoint Souphanouvong as deputy
prime minister but has rejected
the composition of the coalition ad-
ministration, the sources said.
When the current peace talks be-
tween the two sides began they
soon bogged down over procedural
matters. It was not until the Paris
agreement on a Vietnam cease-
fire, signed last month, that the
Laotian talks started making some
progress.
Factional conflicts have prevail-
ed in Laos since it regained its
sovereignty 24 years ago, but it
was the spread of the Vietnam
war which created mass suffering
and ever-growing streams of refu-
gees in the inland kingdom.
A series of factional battles and
shifting coalitions ensued after
Laos emerged from French rule.
And, as has happened before in
the 700-year history of "The King-
dom of a Million Elephants," for-
eigners and neighbors intervened
to escalate and polarize the strug-
gles.
The confrontation that developed
from the decades of turmoil was
between Souvanna's Vientiane gov-
ernment and the Pathet Lao forces
led by Souphanouvong.
But the interests of North and
South Vietnam - and the United
States - became heavily involved
in the fighting, that ebbed and
flowed across the country in of-
fensives and counter-attacks as
cyclical as the seasons.

The justices affirmed the lower
court's opinion over the dissent of
Justice William Douglas who skid3
he would grant a hearing on the
issue.
Nader's appeal asked the high
court to widen citizen opportunity-
to intervene in antitrust suits and;
to give the judiciary a firm role
in assessing settlements achieved
by negotiation.
The-suit to block ITT's acquisi-
tion of Hartford was one of three
filed against .the conglomerate by
the government in 1969.
The Justice Department lost two
panies, and the resulting effect this
would have on the entire stock

That explanation surfaced in
Senate hearings on the confirma-

amined the settlement for politi-
