Western and Soviet ministers failed to agree on Laos conference arrangements and postponed the opening of the 14 nation talks. US Secretary Rusk would join only if the truce cease-fire was verified, fearing continued Pathet Lao advances during delays.

Johnson Tells of Agreement in Viet Nam
Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson announced a complete agreement with President Ngo Dinh Diem on US aid to South Vietnam to blunt growing Communist guerrilla attacks. The plan calls for expanding the 1506,000 man Vietnamese army with more U.S. advisers and civil defense support, while no American combat troops will be deployed. A separate note cited possible $40 million in arms aid to increase the force by about 20,000 men. Johnson spoke after meeting Diem for nearly three hours and pledged sustained U.S. backing as Asian governments face morale strains amid regional Cold War tensions.
