USSR Begs Support in Struggle with China
MOSCOW —(UPI)— The Soviet Union has called on the world's Communist parties to reject Red China's line and join a voluntary union of equals in which Moscow would renounce its supremacy.
In a major policy statement yesterday, the Russians warned that Peking's policies could lead to a new "comintern" with Chinsese Communist Chief Mao Tze-Tung replacing the late Josef Stalin as dictator of the movement.
Diplomatic observers said today the Soviet statement, coupled with Peking's weekend rejection of a world conference of Communist parties, indicated that Russia and Red China have dropped all pretense of trying to reconcile their ideological and political differences.
THE SOVIET STATEMENT was in the form of an editorial on "ideological unity" in the party newspaper Pravda. More such statements were promised in an apparent response to a series of pronouncements by Peking on the key issues dividing Russia and Red China.
These observers predicted a long struggle between the two powers for support from the world's 90-odd Communist parties.
Pravda said that those who follow the Moscow line would be part of a "democratic" world Communist movement that would guarantee independence and equality of parties. The newspaper said it would be "a voluntary union of like minded people ... with voluntary discipline."
The statement said Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev does not want to be another Stalin who could hire, fire and liquidate Communist leaders throughout the world.
Goldwater To Nebraska
OMAHA, Neb. — (UPI) — Sen.
Barry Goldwater comes to the Cornhusker state today to do primary battle with last-minute write-in campaigns for Richard Nixon and Henry Cabot Lodge.
Goldwater is the only Republican presidential candidate whose name appears on the ballot in tomorrow's primary. His supporters claim he has 15 of the state's 16 delegates in his back pocket.
THE ARIZONA CONSERVATIVE will speak to Nebraskans on a multi-station statewide television network tonight.
Goldwater's midwest campaign managers met here yesterday to map strategy for the final push toward the national convention and all indicated the folks back home were solidly in his camp.
Richard G. Kleindienst of Washington, director of field operations for the Goldwater for president committee, told a news conference that Goldwater is the first nationwide candidate to put himself before the people on such a wide scale.
The statement accused the Chinese of trying to revive Stalin's "cult or personality" in the person of Mao, with the Chinese leader's ideas as "the summit of Marxist thought." It said this trend was a Chinese attempt to dominate the Communist movement.
"THE COMMUNIST MOVEMENT does not believe in prophets and oracles who could think and decide for all as Stalin tried to," Pravda said.
Referring to its intentions to renounce its primary role in the movement, Moscow said, "There cannot be relations of hierarchy, domination and subjugation in the world Communist movement which consists of
equal and independent parties."
Pravda said flatly, "Chinese leadership has declared open ideological and political warfare against the Communist movement."
During the iron-handed rule of Stalin, Russia dictated to all Communist parties through the Comintern, the international Communist organization which was dissolved during World War II. Moscow was the unquestioned leader whose needs and desires had primacy.
Stalin died in 1953, and three years later Khrushchev began his destalinization campaign and instituted his policy of peaceful coexistence with the west. Feking rejected Khrush-
onev's views and adheres to Stalin's "hard line," fostering militancy to achieve world domination.
ON SATURDAY. Peking rejected the Kremlin's proposal for a worldwide conference of the Communist parties. Such a meeting would amount to a showdown of the opposing lines, and the Kremlin presumably feels it would have sufficient strength at present to "excommunicate the Chinese."
red China said it wanted a global meeting postponed at least four or five years. The Chinese apparently hope the time would enable them to pick up more support, particularly among the Africans and Asians.
Laotians Stop Fighting for Hero's Funeral; Moscow, Washington Want Laos Neutral
Bv Phil Newsom
UPI Foreign News Analyst
In sleepy and dusty Vientiane, capital of Laos, participants in a government power struggle dropped hostilities long enough to attend an all-day funeral.
The normally cheerful and easygoing Laotians would rather at any time observe the playing of the fountain in the city square than concern themselves with crisis. And so it could not be considered unusual that in the midst of grave, new developments official activity should give way to a day of mourning for a national hero.

Gunfire Ends Cyprus Lull
NICOSIA, Cyprus — (UPI) — Heavy fire in the Kyrenia Mountains and an attack on a British jeep today shattered the weekend lull on Cyprus.
A United Nations Peace Force spokesman said Greek Cypriot regular police fired three revolver shots at the U.N. jeep, one passing through the beret of the corporal in command; one perforating the canopy and one hitting the windshield. The Greek Cypriots apologized but were unable to explain the firing.
The spokesman said Greek Cypriots opened up heavy fire during the night from the Kyrenia Mountains at the Turkish Cypriot villages of Aghirda and Krina, south of the mountains. Both villages have permanent U.N. posts. The fire was not returned.
Turkish Cypriot positions in the mountains east of the Nicosia-Kyrenia road fired into the Greek Cypriot villages of Katodhikomo and Panodhikomo.
There were no known casualties

Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma.
GEN. KOUPRASITH ABHAY, nominal head of the revolutionary forces which sought first to depose Souvanna Phouma and then to make him a figurehead premier, played a prominent role as son of the deceased.
There to pay him homage was Crown Prince Vong Savang, accompanied by Gen. Phoumi Nosavan, right wing commander who did not take part in the coup.
The dead man was Kou Abhay, former president of the Royal Council.
IN OUTWARDLY QUIET VIENTiane, the only sign of stress was in the patrolling security forces of Gen. Siho Lamphoutacoul, 29-year-old driving force behind the revolutionary committee which demanded reorganization and enlargement of the premier's coalition government.
But if the majority of Laotians were able to ignore the new crisis, world capitals could not.
Premier Souvanna Phouma remained in office only through the strong representations of Washington.
Logically, it was hard to dispute the argument of the revolutionary council.
Fearful that new civil war could erupt at any moment, Americans in Vientiane were placed on standby alert.
Junta leaders charged that the Communists had hamstrung the effectiveness of the 1962 Geneva accord which established Laotian neutrality, and by use of the veto had destroyed the usefulness of the international control commission set up to enforce that neutrality.
IN MOSCOW AND even in Peiping there seemed an obvious desire that the questionable neutrality of Laos should be preserved.
But half a loaf was better than none, and so the U.S. sought to preserve what political balance in Laos there was.
FROM THE UNITED STATES point of view, Laotian neutrality also had been a disappointment. It had not eliminated Communist Viet Nam forces from Laos, nor had it closed the Ho Chi Minh trail, down which the Communists fed the Communist Viet Cong of South Viet Nam.
They demanded a government with unity of action.
The key figure was young General Siho Lamphoutacoul.
His father had served Kou Abhay, the man now mourned as a national hero. As a boy he had been treated with contempt by Couprasith Abhay, the dead man's son, now his partner in revolution.
Siho Lamphoutacoul did not have the retreat to a rich and noble family.
For him it was all or nothing, and therein lay the danger of a new explosion in Laos.

Service — The Forerunner of Success
Want to make a lot of money?
You Can't. The only people who
make money work in a mint—the
rest of us must earn it.
And the only way to earn it is to provide a service; we are all paid by the service we render, either in providing people with the goods they desire or the services they need.
How do we become more successful? We become successful in direct proportion to the service we render, by giving more than is expected we become more successful. The producer who reaps the largest profit for his movies puts entertainment ahead of money. The waitress who concentrates on giving the best service doesn't need to worry about tips. The salesman who gives full service to a client need harbor no fears of losing that account.
Plant that "success seed" with extra service. Use these attitudes;
The "I'm Activated" attitude be enthusiastic about the service you are providing.
The "You are Important" attitude. People will do more for you when you make them feel important.
Have a sincere desire to be of service and you will become more successful than you could ever imagine.
