Ann Landers Answers Your Problems Dean Ann Landers: Here's a message to all who read the letter from "Slightly Suspicious." (She didn't think her doctor had any right to give her a breast examination when she had come in for a check-up before plastic surgery on her face.) Eight years ago I had an operation to remove a breast Forrest tumor which luckily turned out to be benign. Since that time I have gone back every year for a pap smear. I went to a physician's group instead of to my regular doctor. No breast examination was given. 1 actually wanted the doctor to perform the breast examination but I was ashamed to ask him to.

The next time I went I did ask. The doctor gave me a very odd look and a speedy "once over lightly." I decided that very day to change back to my regular doctor. It was a very good move. Now, even if I come in for sore throat he checks my Mrs. R.

Laos begins to realize dreams of peace, unity By MATT FRANJOLA Associated Press Writer VIENTIANE, Laos (AP) -Independence day celebrations held in Laos this month marked the fulfillment of a dream by North Vietnam's late revolutionary' leader Ho Chi Minh -the dream of a Communist Indochina. The celebrations also cemented the power of the Pathet Lao over the country. The 30th anniversary festivities saw the emergence of the Lao People's Revolutionary party and its leader, Kaysone Phomvihan, a 55-year-old revolutionary with strong ties to North Vietnam.

The real focus of the celebra- tionf was the Pathet Lao capital of Vieng Xay, where top Communist leaders from North and South Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos met in a mini-summit which appeared to demonstrate solidarity among the three Indochina states. Since the Communist victories in Indochina last spring, Cambodia, North and South Vietnam and Laos each have shown a strong interest in maintaining their national independence. Cambodia's close ties to mainland China and the preference of Vietnam and Laos for the Soviet Union also have demonstrated that the four countries would not, ia many cases, act with unanimity. But the Vieng Xay meeting -according to a number of Western observers stressed the common origins of these revolutionary regimes which can be traced t'o the formation of the Indochinese Communist party (ICP) by Ho Chi Minh in a Hong Kong soccer stadium in February 1930. Prince Souphanouvong, the nominal leader of the pro-Communist Pathet Lao, stressed these origins in his remarks commemorating the unsuccessful declaration of independence from France after World War II.

"Our Lao people are extremely proud and jubilant to have been under the clear- sighted leadership of the ICP," he said. "Now the Lao People's Revolutionary party has also written pages of wonderful history." Most Lao people were previously unaware of the party and before this anniversary almost none could identify its leaders, except Souphanouvong, who was overshadowed by Kaysone. Kaysone gave a 60-minute keynote speech in Vieng Xay. Souphanouvong's address lasted five minutes. "The parly was something the people didn't talk about," one Asian diplomat in Vientiane said.

The anniversary celebrations also demonstrated the political impotence of Prince Souvanna Daily Leader, Pontiac 111.
