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.
