It provides for a fixed scale of fees for all medical treat- ment and the granting of free medical treatment to certain categories of patients. Negotiators said the stumbling block was what fees should be paid to the doctors and how many afternoons a week would be left free for pri- vate practice. During the Easter weekend, doctors from many parts of the country staged an _ unofficial rning strike when they walked off their practices and went on vacation in other coun- tries. Before doing so, however, the doctors organized emergency services to deal with exception- ally urgent cases.

"The waters swept in and went back out, carrying away the houses and buildings. Not even debris' remained." At a recent meeting in Dalat, the South Vietnamese. hill sta- tion, between rightist Laotian Vice-Premier Gen. Phoumi No- savan and South Viet Nam's Premier Maj. - Gen. Nguyen Khanh, approval was reported to have been given by Phoumi to Khanh's plan under which Vietnamese raiding parties would strike against Viet Cong targets in Laos designated in advance, Informed sources said Khanh argued that his plan to root the Viet Cong out of South Viet Nam can succeed only if Com- munist bases and supply routes in Laos are put out of action. Phoumi apparently has agreed to close his eyes to Viet- namese activity' in a manner similar to Prince Souphanou- vong, the leader of the pro- Communist Pathet Lao and the other vice-premier in the Lao- tian government coalition. He has let Communist Vietnamese operate with impunity in his territory for years. The South Vietnamese gov- ernment long has sought some kind of. border agreement with both Laos and neighboring Cam- bodia to stop Communist infil- tration.
