Secret Called i
Meetings Held
By Top Aides
_U VSIIIMiTON V Prci'lr-nfc
Kennedy and some of his top advi-
sers were lo discuss Ihe situation
111 Laos today, the sccond such
meeting in two days. At a secret
meeting yesterday, attention repor-
icdly was directed to the intention
in in stand lo Russia on Ihe explo-
sive crisis in the Southeast A-.i,i
kingdom. A highly placed source
says the administration is taking an
increasingly grave view of condi-
tions in I .aos.
"testei day's conferees included
I lelense .Secretary McNainara,
1 luc'i of Naval operations Admiral
\1le1gh Burke, undersceretai v "C
Slate Chester Bowles and J. (Jra-
hani Parsons, the state depart-
ment's top expert 011 the far cast.
I lie same group was to meet to-
day with Secretary of Stale Husk,
in attendance. He was out of tow 11
yesterday.
Similar such sessions have been
held both as a prelude and after-
math to a conlerencc last. Satin-
day between Busk and Soviet For-
! eign Minister Andrei Gromyko.
Ai the Rusk-Gromyko meeting,
a live - hour session in Ihe Slate
Department, thc United Slates re-
portedly passed the word that a set.
tlcmcnt of the Laotian crisis is es-
sential lo any solid improvement in
U. S. - Russia relations.
There are no indications that any
progress toward an end to the cris-
is stemmed from the Rusk - Grom-
yko meeting.
Rusk is believed to have made
it clear to Gromyko and thus to
; Soviet Premier Khrushchev that
the United States has no intention
oY allowing beleaguered Laos to be
taken over by communist rebels.
The United States several times
has expressed deep concern over 1
Communist air lift cf arms to pro-
communist palhct Lao rebels. Th'j
Soviet action threatens to lead to
an ever accelerating arms race on
both sides.
Ine U. S. position has been that
a truly neutral government should
be established in Laos, neither pro-
Russian nor pro-Western.
