Speculation about such a move by Kennedy broke out Friday in advance of a conference here between the president -elect and Dean Rusk, the man he has to be his secretary of state." The problem of how to handle relations with the Soviet Unionincluding the possibility of developing some new approach on such issues as disarmament and EastWest tensions in Europe is one of the most serious awaiting action by the incoming administration. Khrushchev has generated what amounts to a new Soviet peace propaganda campaign on the theme that he wants to do business with Kennedy. One of the things Khrushchev is aiming at is a summit conference sometime this year. In the eyes of U.S.

officials, however, Soviet support for the rebels in Laos and for the Castro regime in Cuba has cast serious doubt on whether Khrushchev looks forward to easing really, West tension, or sees a new summit conference as another battleground in the cold war. In the Kennedy camp, there is said to be a strong feeling that the new administration must act as quickly as possible after taking office to sound out Khrushchev. JFK, Rusk Confer WASHINGTON (AP) President-elect John F. Kennedy Friday night conferred with his future secretary of state on international trouble spots, including Cuba and Laos.

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) Thailand's Prime Minister Sarit Thanarat expressed concern Friday over what he called Western uncertainty in the Laos crisis, He get "completely out of declared situation handoud His criticism seemed aimed at the council of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization which met briefly at its Bangkok headquarters for the third time to discuss the Laos situation, then issued no statement. Sarit, who returned to this capital from a seaside resort where he had been recuperating from influenza, expressed his concern at a news conference. He said that continued indecision of the West over Laos may allow Thailands neighbor to slip off into a position where it cannot be saved. However, Sarit later told the Thai people the situation in Laos is "serious but not critical." The feeling of tense urgency which pervaded in SEATO headquarters here all week appeared to be dissipating.

Some sources said this was apparently due to growing realization that SEATO will not be asked to supply military forces to halt Communist advances in Laos at least until some other methods have been tried. Others said the United States apparently has stopped pushing its claim that the Communists have intervened with manpower as well as equipment. A majority of the SEATO members appeared to be firmly convinced the course is a call for political settlement while keeping its powder dry. It was possible that this approach may have been dictated by the lukewarm reaction of Premier Boun Oum's pro Western Laotian government to the possibility of SEATO intervention. Laos must request est SEATO aid before the organization can move.

In Washington, diplomats reported the Soviet Union had ruled out any formula for a political settlement that was based on Communist acceptance of Boun Oum's regime.
