Further American Action In Southeast Asia Warned

A carrier task force has moved to the South China Sea to support reconnaissance over Laos as diplomatic efforts yield little progress. The Soviet Union denounced U S policy while supporting a French push for a 14 nation Laos peace conference amid wider regional tension.
