CAMBODIA WAR CONTINUES:
Laos
By The AP and Reuters
VIENTIANE, Laos - The divid-:
ed Laotians signed yesterday a
cease-fire designed to end a dec-
ade of sporadic warfare fought
with U. S. and North Vietnamese
help along the fringes of the Viet-
nam conflict next door.
The cease-fire called for fighting
to end at noon today, which is
Wednesday midnight EST. It gave
a strengthened political hand to
the Communist-led Pathet Lao re-
bels who have fought for years to
take over the small Indochinese
kingdom.
Its signing meant that in prin-
ciple Cambodia remains the only

Cambodian fighting showed no
sign of abating today as several
new Communist attacks were re-
ported along the main southern
highways close to the capital.
Most of the latest assaults took
place on or near the two main
highways - which run parallel
through the region toward the
South Vietnamese border. The
routes have been scenes of fre-
quent battles over the past year.

hopes in Washington and other
capitals that a ceasefire may fol-
