...Russian technicians to study a 100,000-kw. power plant for Xiengkhouang, and asked Red North Viet Nam to build him a small hotel and houses for the diplomatic corps.

With considerable fanfare, he has added six Ilyushin planes to his little national airline, approved a new technical-aid pact with Moscow, and contracted for Soviet surveyors on the Volta River. But no publicity at all has been given to the last, most dangerous commodity just in from Russia: guns and ammunition by the thousands of tons...
