CommunistBattleFlares In Laos, South Viet Nam
BANGKOK, Thailand — (UPI) — Western military sources said today the Communists may try to rekindle the flames of battle on two Southeast Asian fronts with the approaching end of the Monsoon season.
In Laos, the Communist-fed Pathet Kao rebels are reported stockpiling arms and food in their northern "capital" at Xieng Kuong.
THERE ARE FURTHER reports, not officially confirmed, that the Communist Chinese are building up their ground and air power in provinces just to the north.
In South Viet Nam, Communist guerillas have maintained harassing attacks against the forces of President Ngo Dinh Diem despite several major victories by the government in recent months.
Cuba, U.S. Cannot Coexist Says Rusk
MIAMI BEACH — (UPI) — The United States will never accept peaceful coexistence with Fidel Castro's Cuban government, Secretary of State Dean Rusk said yesterday.
"There is no prospect whatever, Rusk told newsmen.
The Secretary said U.S. officials are in "close consultation" with member Latin American nations of the Organization of American States (OAS), and hope for concerted action against Castro by the OAS.
Rusk would not say what this country would do if the OAS fails to act. But he said President Kennedy's statement that the United States would act alone against Cuba "if necessary" still stands.
"Cuba has made its commitment to forces outside this hemisphere and, as President Kennedy has indicated, this is not negotiable," Rusk said.

President Diem has warned his people that if the Communist onslaught keeps on his country will face a full-scale war in the not too distant future.

IT WAS FOR these reasons, apparently, that President Kennedy announced in Washington yesterday he is sending Sen. Maxwell D. Taylor to South Viet Nam this week.
The Communists have been laying the propaganda groundwork for renewed fighting. Peiping radio and North Viet Nam's broadcasting station have been pouring out over the airwaves charges that the United States is preparing to stir up warfare in the two countries once the monsoons end.

THIS IS a familiar Communist tactic for blaming the other side in advance for something the Reds plan to do themselves.
A Communist victory in either Laos or South Viet Nam would almost surely result in the Red engulfment of the other and put another 16 million persons behind the Bamboo Curtain.
This would place the Communists on the borders of Thailand — now a strongly pro-Western nation — and neutral Cambodia and threaten the fall of all Southeast Asia to Communist domination.

Doubt Still Exists About Spaceman
WASHINGTON - (UPI) - Discrepancies in reports from Russia still leave room for doubt that Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space, according to Col. John G. Powers, public information officer for the Mercury Astronaut Program.
He emphasized that he was not claiming Gagarin did not make the flight. But he said some degree of doubt still exists among U.S. scientists.
But there are no doubts, he said, about Soviet Cosmonaut Gherman Titov's repeated flights about the earth. Detailed Soviet information on that project jibed with what the United States learned about it, he said.
LONDON—(UPI)—The Western Allies have agreed to put off plans for a Western Big Four foreign ministers meeting, it was officially disclosed today.
Big Four Conference Off
The Foreign Office spokesman said such a meeting "is not planned at the moment."
INSTEAD, THE UNITED STATES,
Britain, France and West Germany will consult in their ambassadorial group in Washington, headed by U.S. Undersecretary of State Foy Kohler.
The other western powers are represented by their ambassadors in Washington.
The spokesman said there would be a "pause" in major decisions until after the Moscow Communist Party Congress opening Oct. 17.
The Allies were awaiting Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's speech at the party congress which they expected would deal with Berlin and any possible East-West negotiations for the settlement of the conflict.
EARLIER IT HAD BEEN expected the Western Big Four foreign ministers would meet in a fresh effort to align their policy and strategy for dealing with Russia in the Berlin crisis.
It was now anticipated a new round of East-West consultations will begin in Moscow immediately after the party congress, probably before the end of this month.
British officials indicated U.S. Ambassador to Moscow Llewellyn Thompson will do the "probing" of Soviet intentions for the West.
