Thailand Exercise
(NX. Press Assn.—Copyright) NEW YORK, June 8. A 25,000-man force from eight nations, including New Zealand, will test Western military readiness next week in South-east Asia. The force is the largest assembled by the South-east Asia Treaty Organisation. It will be deployed along an imaginary battle line stretching through Thailand’s northeast provinces across the border from Laos. Should the Communists succeed in their campaign to take over Laos military ex- \ perts consider north-east Thailand may become the next battleground in the heartland of South-east Asia.
