Russia Holds Key to Geneva Peace
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Top U.S. officials clung to the hope today that Russia would agree to bring public pressure on Laotian Communists to honor the 14-nation Geneva peace agreement.
President Kennedy and his advisers awaited the results of efforts by Britain, co-chairman with Russia of last year's Geneva meeting, to get the Kremlin to participate in a joint declaration urging all parties concerned to carry out terms of the pact.
The United States was moving some elements of the U.S. 7th Fleet into waters near Laos to be ready for any eventuality and add psychological pressure to the diplomatic offensive.
Officials said that the dispatch of American troops to neighboring Thailand also was a possibility if the Geneva neutrality agreement collapsed.

The American Political Science Association gave him the 1953 Wendell Willkie Award for his book "Taming of the Nation."

A White House spokesman denied a report that Kennedy had sent a direct appeal to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to join the British in reaffirming support of the Geneva accords, which guaranteed the independence of Laos under a coalition government.

Officials said, however, that Kennedy fully supported Britain's efforts to get Moscow to act and was in close communication with London on this subject.
Kennedy discussed the crisis for an hour yesterday with his top military and diplomatic advisers. They were said to have made no major new decisions on Laos, pending the outcome of diplomatic maneuvering. Other developments in Laos:
Other developments in Laos:
VIENTIANE, Laos — (UPI) — Right-wing strongman Gen. Phoumi Nosavan accused the leftist Pathet Lao today of trying to destroy the Laotian coalition government. Phoumi offered to send troops to help the neutralists against the pro-Communists.
The pro-Communists counter-charged that Phoumi was preparing his troops for an offensive, creating a danger to the security of Laos.
The exchange of charges threatened to upset the uneasy lull in the Plain of Jars fighting between the Pathet Lao and neutralist forces led by Gen. Kong Le.
Diplomatic activity here and abroad picked up in an urgent drive to head off another civil war in this unsettled Southeast Asian kingdom
Israeli President, 78 Dies of Lung Cancer
JERUSALEM, Israel — (UPI) — President Itzhak Ben-Zvi, a scholarly Zionist who helped found the state of Israel, died today at the age of 78.
The pioneer, labor leader and statesman succumbed to lung cancer in his home here.
Ben-Zvi's health started failing following a trip to West Africa last year. But it was not until last weekend that it became known generally he was suffering from cancer.
Telephone Manager Is New C. of C. Head
As president, Ben-Zvi wielded no direct power in affairs of state. But he was a symbol of the new country's unity and sovereignty, above its political parties. The Israeli government is run by the premier, David Ben-Gurion.
KANSAS CITY — (UPI) — J. Hardin Smith of Topeka was elected president of the Kansas State Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
Smith, who succeeds Ellis K. Cave of Dodge City, is Kansas vice-president and general manager of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Co.
Dr. W. Clarke Wescoe of Lawrence, chancellor of the University of Kansas, was named to the board of directors.
