King Savang Vathana apparently held to this view by flying back to Luang Prabang after several earlier delays. He had spent several days in Vientiane, 140 miles south of the royal city, for the formal installation of Premier Prince Bou Oum's new anti-Communist government. The king's departure indicated rebel attacks in the Luang Prabang area are isolated clashes between guerrilla units of the pro-Communist Pathet Lao and patrols of the royal Laotian army. A Pathet Lao column was reported advancing on Luang Prabang.

French military sources in Vientiane indicated the city was being increasingly threatened. Other Western military men placed the column still 60 miles north of the city.
