Light In Basement The officers searched the dor mitory, the Chemistry building, Kenan Stadium, and the sur rounding woods unsuccessfully.

Government and rebel nego tiators met again at the truce village of Hin Heup, 50 miles north of Vientiane, but their three hour and five - minute meeting was devoted almost en tirely to an acrimonious ex change of charges of truce vio lations. No agreement was reached. At the same time, the govern ment made public a new series of rebel demands that the gov ernment withdraw troops from the Hin Heup area. The rebels also accused the government of "following" a Soviet transport plane and opening fire in four provinces. Armed With Rockets There were these disturbing developments: -Four Laotian training planes armed with rockets took an unknown destination. Groun off from Vientiane airport for an unknown destination.
