FEELING COLD WAR
Luang Prabang, Laos, May 14.
The timeless tranquillity of the "Unknown Frontier," the remote mountain maze where China meets Burma and the Kingdom of Laos, is being stirred by the first chill addies of the "cold war." Chinese Communist infiltration across the tongled jungle trails of Burma and Indo-China, coupled with the Westward movement of Vietminh Communist bands, is threatening today to destroy the ancient peace of the "Shangri-La" land of Laos.
