Gap In Cease Fire Plan Favors Reds
Washington officials saw a large gap in the Laos cease-fire plan that could allow Communist backed rebels to resume a major offensive before the 14 nation peace conference in Geneva. The plan calls for a three nation control commission and a 14 nation Laos con ference starting May, but contains no specific halt date. U.S. officials warned that without a verified cease fire the United States will not attend the Geneva meeting. Southeast Asia Treaty Organization stands ready to act to prevent a rebel seizure of more Lao territory.

Washington AP The federal gasoline tax would stay at 4 cents a gallon under a Ways and Means plan to fund the pay as you go highway program. The bill adds 900 million dollars yearly to the highway fund and redirects half the truck and bus excise tax to the highway fund, with passenger autos unaffected.
