Laotian government and Pathet Lao signed agreement to form a coalition government.
The signing today came after seven months of negotiations and took place at a riverside residence of Prime Minister Souvanna Phouma. There was a small audience in the hotel where the signing took place.
The Pathe Lao and the Royal Lao government had been negotiating since the Feb. 21, 2014 fire that was designed to end nearly 20 years of war.

Only words of praise were expressed as the Senate voted one day after Atty. Gen. Elliot Richardson declined to reopen the 1971 International Human Rights Organization meeting.
Grand jury resumed work in Maryland amid unprecedented security restrictions.
More than two dozen federal marshals sealed off a corridor leading to the special federal grand jury room in Baltimore so witnesses could come and hear the proceedings.
Because Vice President Spiro Agnew has been implicated in the allegations of kickbacks and conspiracy under investigation by the grand jury, the security led to speculation that the jury was entering the Agnew phase of its probe.
A Justice Department spokesman said that wasn't true.
White House adviser John Love said no allocation of heating fuel is planned.
Love, director of the White House Energy Policy Office, told a Senate subcommittee that the administration is seeking to stimulate the supply of energy for jobs.
Love thus disagreed with a growing number of congressmen and national leaders who are calling for mandatory allocation before winter. Sen. Henry Jackson, D-Wash., Mayor Tom Bradley of Los Angeles and Charles F. Luce, chairman of Consolidated Edison, have all urged mandatory allocation.

Two per cent of U. S. power needs
could come from geothermal energy.
William Lyons, deputy undersecretary of the Interior Department, told a House subcommittee that an abundance of hot springs and natural hot water geyers like Old Faithful could be tapped to supply 10 per cent of the power needs for the western third of the United States.
Lyons said the western states, plus Alaska and Hawaii, offer the most promise for development of geothermal energy.
That would amount to 2 per cent of the total U.S. power needs.
Temporary 10% Tax Hike A Possible Nixon Proposal
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Nixon may ask Congress for a temporary 10 per cent hike in federal income tax rates with the money to be refunded to taxpayers later, the White House said yesterday.
Presidential counselor Melvin Laird disclosed Nixon's consideration of the unusual tax plan but said no final decision had been made on it.
Llaird said the proposal was not the same as a tax increase, but was rather a forced savings plan to remove income temporarily the economy in an effort to tight inflation.
The presidential adviser told a White House news briefing that the tentative proposal that Nixon ordered his economic aid to school could work this way:
Each individual and corporate taxpayer would have his tax rate increased by 10 per cent. In other words, a person now in the 20s would pay about $275 more and himself paying at a rate of 22 per cent.
Presumably, the taxpayer would receive interest on the fored savings account. Laird didn't discuss this point, but interest payments were one feature of such a plan presented recently by Federal Reserve Board chairman Arthur Burns.
THE EXTRA taxes collected would go into an escrow account and would be returned to the taxpayer later—when the economy cools and inflation ebbs. Laird said the refunds would come in two to five years.
Laird would not set a specific timetable for a presidential decision, but said he doubled Congress could consider such a plan until next year.
Most members of congressional tax-
writing committees who were contacted
said they opposed the idea of a 10 per cent increase in rates.
"My guess is that the President isn't close to making such a recommendation," said Wilbur Mills, D-Ak, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Mills is in a Little Rock hospital recuperation from an operation.
MILLS SAD he would look at a tax increase plan, but added that it couldn't pass Congress this year. And by next year, he would be in charge of spending and need stimulation, not restraint.
"It looks like a trial balloon they are already backing away from," said Rep. Al Ulman, D-Ore., the committee's acting chairman. "I couldn't support it. I favor a loophole-closing tax bill that would raise revenue."
Rep. Hernan Schneeebell, R-Penn, the committee's ranking Republican, said his support for a repeal of the ban.
Rep. Wright Patman, D-Tex., chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee, said a tax increase would be the surest way to throw the nation into a recession.
the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Russell Long, D-LA., said he agreed with Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis., vice chairman of the Joint Economic
Committee, that a better anti-inflation weapon was a reduction in the spending.
Proxmire said it was very unlikely that
Congress would raise taxes this year. He predicted that Congress would cut defense spending and foreign aid despite Nixon's objections.
Chrysler,UAW Mum On Wage Negotiations
DETROIT (AP) — With a strike deadline only one day away, the United Auto Workers and Chrysler Corp. imposed a contract negotiations last night.
Traditionally, the blackout has been viewed as a sign that the two sides are势均力敌.
The blackout was imposed only a few hours after a UAW spokesman said Chrysler had not made a new economic proposal.
The union has called Chrysler's initial three per cent wage increase offer "a mackery" and said a second proposal was essential to avoiding a strike by the firm's 127,500 UAW-represented workers in the United States and Canada.
Negotiators prepared to bargain through
the night in an effort to reach agreement before the current contract expires at 11:50
The Detroit News said yesterday that Chrysler had submitted a new economic proposal that included a wage-benefit initiative and the first year. The union denied the report.
The average assembly line worker at Chrysler makes $4.48 an hour.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court suggested yesterday that President Nixon let special Watergate prosecutor Archbald Cox listen to White House tape recordings as a possible means of avoiding a lawsuit-executive branch showdown in courts.
Cox quickly agreed to the proposed compromise.

The White House had no immediate comment.

Group Mourns Allende's Death
A small group of University of Kansas faculty members and students gathered in front of the Kansas Union yesterday to celebrate the Salvador Valdez late, president of Chile.
Jon Vincent, asst. professor of Portuguese and Spanish, described the gathering as an ad hoc group of people concerned about events taking place in Chile. He said that the gathering did not have any particular relation to many who attended were students or faculty members in some way associated with Latin American studies.
Vincent said the participants in the dance each had their reasons for being there.
"There are probably as many reasons as people," he said.
there to show solidarity with the Chilean people.
Vera said the military coup in Chile was a tragedy for many reasons. First, he said, a legitimate government had been overthrown by the dictatorship of 1970-earl tradition in Chile of civilian rule.
Also, said Vera, a good man had been murdered, and many Chinese were being shot and killed. He said casualties might be as high as 1,000 people.
The coup demonstrated that the road to justice and equality in Latin America was not over.
"this crisis in Chile," said Vera, "frustrates the hopes of the great majority of Chilean people; of the people that have been losing the struggle for so long."
Vera said that there would be a civil war in Chile soon. The initial fighting began in 1938.

The Emporium Bookstore financial records show that the Emporium can make through the semester, Kathy Allen Tormey and director of the bookstore, said yesterday.
Allen Defends Emporium
"I think the people who have been making these charges don't understand the financial problem," Allen said. "The case was very complicated and difficult to understand."
Charges that the Emporium wasn't generating enough revenue to survive until the end of November were made this week by Pete Kanatzar, Topeka senior and member of the Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee.
Herman Vere, visiting instructor in sociology and a native of Clare, said he was
Alen said the bookstore had $178 in its account from book sales last year.
Says Funds Will Last for the Semester
"I'm going to send her a copy of her own financial statement tonight because I feel she should know what the figures are," Kanatzar said.
KANATZAR SAID yesterday that the Emporium will have spent at least $400 by the end of the month and has generated only $39.30 in profit since Aug. 31.
In addition, the Emporium has about $800 remaining from an $800 Senate allocation.
"I know it can make it through the semester on this money." Allen said.
"it isn't supposed to be profit-making"
she said. "To make it profit-making, we'd
have to screw the students. I think it's a
service."
Alen said the Empirium shouldn't be considered a profit-making business but a
"I think it is irresponsible for the director not to have the figures on the business."
Piet Kretetsch, Lawrence graduate student and former employee of the Emporium, said yesterday he didn't think Emporium could be making a profit
"BASED ON what I know about the Emporium from experience, I don't think it
could make a profit under the present system," Knetsch said.
Allen reported last week that the Emporium had made $109 net profit by Sept. 6. She said yesterday that she was unsure of how much the store had current revenue of $178
The Emporium displays students' books and when the books are sold, the bookstore sells them.
Alen added that the store had had problems in the patio and encountered饼问题.
The Finance and Auditing Committee will review the Emporium's financial status Sunday and determine whether the store can survive.
"I anticipate a recommendation that the committee put a hold on the Emporium's funds," Joel Goldman, Shawne Mission president and member of the conference said yesterday.
"My opinion right now is they should close it down."

THE TWO principal parties opposed to the Allende government—the Christian Democrat party and the National party—communiques officially backing the junta.
"The legitimate constitutional government is continuing to defend itself," the coalition leaders declared. There was no evidence of their reports from other sources.
The information could not immediately be confirmed from other sources, and reports from southern Chile said the situation there was calm.
Leaders of the toppled Marxist regime said the former commander of the Chilean army, Gen. Carlos Prats, was leading an effort to attack the junta forces in Santiago.
In Santiago, the curfew was lifted for 68 hours yesterday to permit residents to stock meat and dairy.

bars.
Junta troops have been battling pockets of sniper resistance in the city.
Shooting broke out in scattered parts of downtown San Juan just as the curfew was lifted and shortly after it took effect again in the evening.
A communique issued on the state radio network yesterday appealed to Chileans to go to medical centers during the day to donate blood "of whatever type."
The appeal followed unofficial reports that 500 to 1,000 people have died in the coup and its aftermath and that many others have been wounded.
CRITICISM OF the military takeover and the death of Allende on Tuesday mounted around the world. The Soviet Union and its allies denounced the coup. Leftists took to the streets in dozens of cities from Paris to Bogota, Colombia, to protest the coup.
Harsh criticism of the takeover also came from union leaders in Canada, members of the governing Labor party in Australia and the leaders of Italy and Sweden.
At the United Nations, Cuba asked for an urgent meeting of the Security Council, claiming that Chilean armed forces had attacked the United States in Santiago and a Cuban merchant ship.
The military junta said that 150 Cuban "extremists" had been expelled from Chile.
Allende's widow, two married daughters and four grandchildren received asylum in the Mexican Embassy, the Mexican government announced yesterday.
In Washington, the White House said that President Nixon, although aware of unrest in Chile, had "no advance knowledge of any specific plans for a coup."
The statement was in answer to charges, chiefly from Latin America, that the U.S. government encouraged the military to oust Allende.
