The ability of the economy to

of fighting in Laos i a source of
mystery in at least one respect
Laotian troops were reported . to
have, routed the attackers two days
after the first news of this new de
velopment was spreadon the front
pages of the papers in the west
' Moreover, a report from that
country noted that the. situation
was 'quiet again. Had the ittack

There was little doubt that the

but that they have done all along.
And the Chinese have' apparently
withdrawn most of the 5,000 troops
they operated in Laos, which they
agreed to do jn last year's Geneva
conference. , -
That the Chinese have encourag
ed, supplied and thus built up na
tive Laotian Communist forces in
the provinces of . Samnev and
Phorigsaly is not to be doubted.
But whether the, Chinese ordered
the recent attack into Loa proper
is a question at the moment.
While Uie issue may be clarified
in the next few days, it is now un
known whether the attack was
really part of a ner invasion and
thus the beginning of a new Lao-

question is when this trouble Will

Our organization the N, C. Peanut Growers Asso
ciation, Inc. is supported by one cent per 100 pounds
of farm stock peanuts we grow. It has been working for
us since August, 19S3. It's done such a good job that
our farmer-directors voted overwhelmingly to ask us
to raise our contribution to 2 cents per 100 pounds of
farm stock peanuts. v With this small increase, it can do
a still better job. This is one of the proposals we will
vote on July 23.
