Troika in Laos
By William L. Ryan
Troika bells may be ringing ex
ultantly in the Kremlin in ex
pectation of big dividends from
the East-West accord in Laos.
The troika is a symbolic thing
for the Russians — three horses
hitched together to pull one wagon.
Last year Premier Khrushchev
demanded the troika system for
the United Nations, with one re
presentative each — and one veto
each — for the Communists, the
West and the neutralists. It ran
into stiff opposition, since it was
fairly obvious such a secretariat
would paralyze U.N. peace-making
efforts. That did not deter the Rus
sians from attempting to impose
it time after time.
At last they seem to have been
I successful, with the arrangement
that is supposed to bring peace to
the confused little kingdom of Laos
in Indo-China. And the Laotian
troika was not a Communist idea.
It was proposed by the right-wing
royal government that the United
States backed.
I he result can be to strengthen
Khrushchev’s hand throughout the
Red Bloc, give a lift to his leader
ship by quieting his critics, and
embolden him to generate new
crises elsewhere, later on.
There is the prospect at least that
before long Laos will be little more
than another Red-dominated en
clave in Southeast Asia.
The Kennedy administration
welcomed the arrangement, with
reservations.
What has the accord done?
It has set up a three-sided ar
rangement to run the affairs of
Laos, representing (1) the pro
Western faction of Gen. Phoumi
Nosavan, supported by the United
States (2> Prince Souvanna Fhouma,
who is called a neutralist, and (3)
Prince Souphanouvong, who seems
as pro-Communist as anyone could
be without carrying a party card.
Communist pressure now will be
brought to bear for the quick de
parture of UJS. advisers to the
Vienitane government and an end
to U3* military aid. The Commu
nist Pathet Lao, with help from
neighboring Red North Viet Nam
and Communist China, and with
military forces that have proved
their superiority over the royal
army, surely will hold the com
manding position in the country.

Dale or Queen —
Who Is the Master ?
SYLVANIA, Ga. — For two
years, Georgia judges have been
peering over the bench at a lemon
and white pointer and wondering:
Does she or doesn’t she know who
her real owner is.
W. L. Scott of Syivania says the
dog’s name is Dale and belongs
to him.
But George McDonald of Sa
vannah says the dog’s real name
is Queen and belongs to him.
Scott claims he raised Dale from
a pup and that McDonald stole
her.
McDonald says he raised Queen
from the time she was six months
old and a friend gave her to him.
McDonald was charged with
theft of a dog and he, Scott and
Queen (or Dale) went into Scre
ven County Superior Court.
The solution seemed simple. The
dog was turned loose in the court
room. Both men called.
“Here Dale,” called Scott. The
dog ran yelping to him.
“Here Queen,” called McDonald.
The dog ran yelping to him.
A Screven County jury believed
Scott’s story and convicted Mc
Donald of dognaping.
McDonald appealed to the
Georgia Court of Appeals, which
sent the case back to Superior
Court for a new trial.
The second time around a mis
trial was declared.
Finally, on the third try, Judge
Corson Hilton directed a verdict
of innocent on the technical ground
that the state did not prove the
dog was stolen on the day it was
alleged to have been stolen.
Armed with his Superior Court
acquittal, McDonald filed a civil
suit for repossession of Queen
(or Dale).
The case is scheduled to be call
ed during August.

C21 VISITORS NEED
SUBSTITUTE LODGING
SEATTLE UP) — The World’s
Fair Housing Bureau and Seattle
groups moved Saturday to provide
substitute lodging for 1,400 visitors
who made reservations at a de
funct. private trailer-motel opera
tion.
Fair officials said they were no
tified by Travelers Village, a new
trailer-motel in the Bellevue-Red
mond area east of Settle, that it
had closed for financial reasons.
The Fair said the operators re
ported 1,400 advance reservations,
involving about $95,000.
Century 21, the Fair Corporation,
and the Seattle housing industry
said they would try to relocate
the prospective tenants without
charge.
Expo-Lodging, the Fair Housing
Agency, mailed letters to all reser
vation holders explaining action
was being taken to care for them.
Expo stationed representatives at
the Travelers Village site to send
arriving guests to other places.
The letters said free accommo
dations could not be guaranteed
the reservation holders but added
“We . . . are hopeful that many
and perhaps all can be helped in
this manner.”
Travelers Village was announced
in February as a million-dollar
facility.
WEATHER FORECAST

THE
FLOWER BOX
-by Flora Leeds
No horticultural knowledge
is needed to help develop a
green thumb for house plants.
With a few simple rules, you
will find that healthy, decora
tive plants will grow in your
own living room—as lovely as
they were at the florist shop.
The Society of American
Florists says that most old
fashioned remedies are old
wives’ tales. Don’t spread
mayonnaise on the leaves of
your plants to give them sheen.
Don’t feed the soil with ciga
rette ashes ... or coffee grounds
... or tea leaves. One woman
actually gave an ailing plant
a dose of castor oil. The pa
tient died!
When buying house plants*
the hardier varieties are rec
ommended for the- beginner.
Generally the best buys, they
adjust better to home temper
atures of 60 to 70 degrees.
Your florist will advise you
on your selection.
Water plants by setting pots
in a large container of water
until the moisture shows on
the surface. Many plants are
sensitive to moisture on their
leaves. This method of water
ing eliminates this danger.
There are many good com
mercial fertilizers on the mar
ket these days. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions and
spread the fertilizer sparingly
around the rim of the pot.
Flowering plants need more
sunlight than the ail-foliage
varieties, the Society of Amer
ican Florists reports. Keep
them in a south window during
the winter.
These basic fundamental?
will guide you happily along
the garden path of house
gardening.
