Brotherly Accord. Though a vital feature of the valley's rehabilitation would be public acquisition of some 100,000 acres at 150 scenic points (cost: $100 million), most of the commission's recommendations could be carried out through effective coordination of already existing programs, including New York's own $1 billion water-pollution campaign. Scenic easements, under which a property owner would be granted tax concessions if he agreed to keep his land undeveloped, could hold back industry from the shoreline and crowning highlands, at the same time keep the countryside in private hands.

This, despite North Viet Nam's solemn signature on the 1962 Geneva accord guaranteeing Laos' neutrality and barring foreign troops from Laotian soil. The infiltration now comes to an estimated 4,500 bo dot (regular infantrymen) a month. More than one third of the "trail" has been converted into broad-shouldered, two-lane dirt highways. Truck convoys move by night, along with pack elephants...
