VIENTIANE Laos announced Sunday talks aimed at reconciling the anti Communist government in Vientiane with neutralist Prince Souvanna Phouma after a government defeat on the main north south highway. Information Minister Boun van Norsaing said a delegation would leave Tuesday for Phnom Penh where Souvanna exiled himself last December. Premier Prince Boun Oum, who succeeded Souvanna, is due here to prepare for a new round of talks. The rebels, backed by Soviet arms, still recognize Souvanna as the regal premier, but the prince fears growing military strength among his supporters could destabilize Laos and block peace. Phoumi Nosavan did not say whether he would join Phnom Penh. He had met Souvanna and said he would join a neutralist coalition if one is formed.
