Harriman To Tell JFK Of His Laos Talks
LONDON — (UPI) — Undersecretary of State Averell Harriman flew to Washington today to report to President Kennedy on his Laos crisis talks with Soviet and British leaders.
Harriman, who arrived last night from Moscow, conferred with Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and Lord Privy Seal Edward Heath.
Diplomatic sources said they agreed to push a strong diplomatic initiative in Moscow and in Laos to save the neutrality and independence of the southeast Asian kingdom.
HEATH, ostensibly reflecting the mood of today's meeting with Harriman, said the present situation in Laos was not only dangerous to the countries already involved but also to Thailand.
The cease-fire was holding, he added, and this was a good opportunity for the International Control Commission (ICC) to visit the area.
Heath said Britain has been in touch also with the Red Chinese government but has not received an answer so far. He rejected the idea of reconvening the Geneva Conference.
One of the immediate plans is to get the International Control Commission (ICC), composed of India, Canada and Poland, to put inspection
teams into the Plain of Jars, the chief area of collision between the pro-communist Pathet Lao forces and the neutralist troops of Prince Souvanna Phouma, the premier of the coalition government.
HARRIMAN, who met with Premier Nikita Khrushchev in Moscow last week and with foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, has received the Kremlin's acknowledgement "in principle" that joint Anglo-American-Soviet action is necessary to resolve the Laos crisis.
DENVER —(UPI) —When Arthur Valdez offered to plead guilty to petty larceny if Deputy Dist. Atty. Gilbert Alexander would drop charges of grand larceny, burglary and conspiracy against him. Alexander refused.
Macmillan endorsed this plan today and also backed the suggestion that the ambassadors of the three nations in Vientiane should keep close contact for on-the-spot Laos peace efforts.
Crime Doesn't Pay?
Valdez was charged with stealing $50 in pennies, nine cases of whiskey and 30 cartons of cigarettes from a Denver tavern.
Yesterday a jury took only 30 minutes to acquit Valdez of all charges.
