While the government re mained silent on this point, the strike leaders said they had won a promise that the controversial law would be sharply modified by Lefevre's Socialist- Social Christian government. "We have won a victory," said one prominent physician.

"We have won on most of the points we made to the government. It was the government which backed down." The strike began 18 days ago.

"7 A Auto Dealers Give In To Demands of NAACP Laos Summit Collapses, War Feared Neutralist Wanting Out -As Premier By ANTOINE TARED PLAINE DES JARRES, Laos (AP) A summit conference of three government collapsed Saturday and Prince Souvanna Phouma announced he will ask King Savang Vat-hana to be relieved as premier.

His departure could spark full civil war. The idea of the rightist, neutralist and leftist meeting was to turn the royal capital of Luang Prabang into the temporary administrative capital in an attempt to solve Laos' year-old crisis. Souvanna, a neutralist, came out of a field tent in which the leaders had been meeting for two days and said no results had been reached. He had conferred with Gen. Phoumi Nosa-van, the rightist faction leader, and Prince Souphanouvong, leader of the pro Communist Pathet Lao and half-brother of Souvanna.

Souvanna, who. has been premier for 22 months, told newsmen: "Upon my return to Vientiane (permanent administrative capital) I will make a report to his majesty the king. "Because of my Inability to solve the Laotian problem I will ask the king to relieve me from functions 0 coalition premier." He looked grim, depressed and nervous. Asked if the king would accept his resignation, Souvanna replied: "I don't know." Souvanna had asked the king to relieve him a year agoT but on the job. Souphanouvong has been feuding with the neutralists and the rightists for more than a 'year.

His forces control about 1,000 miles of border -with Red China and Communist North Viet Nam. Souvanna and Phoumi accuse the Pathet Lao of expanding their influence steadily with the aid of the Chinese and North Vietnamese. But the Issue that broke the summit conference was the question of Luang" Prabang, as the administrative capital. Conference sources said Phoumi and Souphanouvong could not agree on ways to neutralize the royal capital.
