On the Other Hand
Both Parties Hammering Hard
On Indifferent Voter This Year

favor of any method that can be
devised to persuade more voters
to vote. Some even like the idea
of going beyond persuasion and
using compulsion. They would
penalize the eligible citizens who
fail to vote: make them pay a poll
tax perhaps. Something of that
kind is done in Australia and New
Zealand. with good results. it is
said. or at least with the result of
producing q big vote.
Most Interesting Appeal.
There is no reason to doubt the
sincerity of the candidates in this
matter. The average candidate
naturally believes that the bigger
the vote the better his own
chances. So the party organiza-
tions, Republican and Democratic,
are hammering hard on the get
out-the-vote theme in these last
days Of the campaign. Among the
most interesting appeals being
made is that of the women's divi-
sion of the Democratic National
Committee. In their monthly
publication they put it this way:
"In 1916 one more Democratic
vote in every precinct in the 1st
congressional district would have
elected another Democratic Con-
gresham in Missouri. In 1914
two more Democratic votes in
every precinct would have elected
Democratic Senator in Ohio. "
And so on.
And they retell the story Of what
happened in 1876. A sick man in
Indiana had himself carried to the
polls to vote for a Republican
friend. The friend was thereby
elected to Congress-by one vote.
That year Rutherford B. Hayes,
Republican, was elected President
by one electoral vote. A congress
sional investigation sustained this
result by one vote-the vote, of
course, of that Indiana Congress-
man, who'd been elected by his
sick friends one vote.

India Lacks Evidence
Red Chinese Actually
Have Invaded Tibet
BY The Associated Press

NEW DELHI, India, Oct. o.
India's Ambassador to Peiping to-
day confirmed reports that Chi
nese Army units have been or
dered to advance into Tibet. but
added he has no confirmation
that any troops actually have
entered the country, a govern
ment spokesman said.
This was the first word from
Ambassador K. M. Pannikar since
reports of the invasion order cir
culated
The spokesman added that no
reply has been received from
Peiping to the Indian note yes
terday expressing regret and sur
prise at the invasion order.
Referring to Lake Success re-
ports that India would cease her
efforts to win Red China a place
in the United Nations, the spokes-
man said the government policy
would naturally have to be re-
viewed in light of latest develop
ments."
Earlier, a foreign ministry
source said India had informally
advised Peiping that an invasion
of Tibet would make more diff
ficult" Indian efforts to secure
Red China a United Nations seat.
1t is known that top Indian
officials are gravely concerned
over the invasion order, particu-
larly since the Red Chinese gov
ernment assured Indian Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru a few
months ago that it desired a
peaceful solution to the question
of Tibets future.
There is speculation here, par
ticularly in diplomatic circles, that
Chinese belligerence toward Tibet
might push the Nehru govern
ment closer to the camp of the
Western democracies.
- Government sources have said
privately that they would not be
pleased with the prospect of hav-
ing Red Chinese troops along In
dia's northern border in place Of
peaceful Tibetans.
One official said India probably
would give asylum to refugees
which presumably might include
the Dalai Lama-but would screen
them carefully.

Poland Protests Inaction

This Changing World
Tibet Invasion May Upset Nehru Ideas
On Sincerity of Moscow and Peiping

The Cars wanted to establish
Russia's domination over Man
churia. They had to fight war
with Japan and were defeated.
After 40 years the Kremlin car
ried that policy to success and
faced no opposition from the
powers which were interested in
protecting the integrity Of Chi
nese territory.
Since the middle of the 10Th
Century the Russians have tried
to penetrate India. The fact that
a first-class world power. Britain,
was in control there frustrated
the Russian plans. Russian agents
infiltrated the country and at
tempted, sometimes successfully,
to stir up rebellions against the
dominating Western power.
Students Bid to Moscow.
World War II gave the U. S. S. r.
it's first chance to penetrate India
ideologically. Thousands of In
dian students, who could not go
West to complete their higher
education, were received with
open arms in Soviet universities,
at the expense Of Moscow. Besides
a scholastic education they also
received good training in han
ding machine guns, organizing
revolutionary cells and other
methods of Communism.
They accepted these lessons IN
the belief that they could be used
eventually against the British oc-
cupiers of their country. When
Britain withdrew of its own voli-
ton and gave India full freedom
these men, who were grateful to
their alma matters in Moscow or
Baku, continued as tools OF the
Politburo. Indian agents OF Mos
COW made several attempts on
Nehru's life.
The Soviets are aware, how
ever, that propaganda and revo-
lutionary cells alone are not SUI
flcient to place 300 million In
dams under the hammer and
sickle. They eventually must be
helped by a liberation force"
such as now is being prepared IN
the Far East.
Whether Prime Minister Nehru
wants to accept the views OF out
siders, who warn him now of the
impending danger to India's free
dom, is still unknown. But it is
obvious to all but the blind that
the invasion of Tibet has a more
important objective than the
mere "integration" Of that terri
tory with the Chinese Peoples
Republic,

it from every direction. Fling
ers point at them from bill
boards, window cards, motion pic
lures and newspaper advertise
ments, all saying, This means
You!" If they close their eyes,
they hear the stern warning COM
ing out of the radio. Citizens
committees send bell-ringers to
their door to remind them of
their patriotic duty. Party organi-
cations send precinct workers to
do the same.
Cause for Serious Concern.
Every year for a long time this
has been happening, but probably
never before has the drive to
get out the vote been so intense.
Yet in spite of this effort in every
State, and in spite of generally
increased registration, veteran OBJ
servers are now predicting that
six out of ten of the Nation S
eligible voters will fail to show
their faces at the polling places
on November Z. The total vote.
they estimate. will be no more
than 40 per cent Of the possible
vote. That will be slight in
crease over the vote in the con-
gressional election of 1916, but a
decided drop from the more than
so per cent who voted in the
presidential election of '48.
The best explanation given is
that three-flfths of our citizens
are too busy, or think they're too
busy, to be bothered. Times are
good, they seem to say, SO why
get excited?
This state of mind. increasingly
evident over the years, not merely
this year. has become a cause for
serious concern on the part OF
many people in Government. There
is nova resolution before Congress
proposing an investigation of "the
adequacy of participation by citi-
zens in public affairs" The author

fective collaboration in the United
Nations. Nehru is neither Com
munist nor a sympathizer. But he
believes so strongly in peace that
he is willing to go all the way
to appease those who threaten
world peace.
He is aware of the presence of
powerful Communist cells in his
own country. But he hopes to
conquer them with kindness and
nondiscrimination. When warned
by Western diplomats of the con-
spiratorial character Of these Or
ganizationS, which are serving
the aims of Russia and not India,
he merely shrugs his shoulders
and suggests that the minds of
Westerners are poisoned against
Moscow by fear and prejudice. All
efforts to make him see the real
danger in Moscow's and Peiping's S
extended hand of friendship"

I or ; Years Service
lin Armed Forces Held
Necessary by Experts
BY the Assoeiofed Press


Government manpower experts
said today that most young men
from 18 through % during the
next five to 10 years probably will
have to spend two or three years
in military service.
This they consider the most ac-
ceptable way of meeting President
Truman's request for a million
man armed force on a permanent
basis.
Requested Legislation carrying
some details of the plan is ex-
pected to reach Congress either
at the postelection session next
month or the new session early
next year. Congressional COM
mittee stats already are studying
the problem.
Say Law Must Be Revised.
Without trying to forecast what
the lawmakers will do, manpower
experts, who asked to remain
anonymous, told a reporter that
these moves must take place:
/. The present draft or Selec-
tive Service Act must be over
hauled on long-range basis with
minimum terms of service for in
ductees extended from the pres
ent 81 months to at least "a
months.
2. Some power or authority must
be established to assure a flow
of slightly more than million
young men year into the regu-
lar armed forces.
3. A universal military training
program also must be set up
on a long-range basis to pro-
vide a large pool of young men
with basic training who later can
be organized into Reserve units.
Overall Approach Suggested.
Military leaders have advised
civilian and congressional plan
ners that the various steps could
be enacted separately. But they
have suggested an overall ap-
proach as the best solution.
Here is the background and rea-
soning and resulted in these
suggestions:
The United States has accepted
the responsibility of world leader
ship against communism.
The Korean war and related ex-
pansion of national defense now
has created a tight squeeze on
available manpower with no letup
in sight.
The 3 million-manpower goal is
more than twice the size of the
armed forces at the low point after
World War II and about / million
above the top strength during the
Korean fighting.
Million Career Men Urged.
Military officials said the 3 mil
lion total probably must include
about l million persons who make
a permanent career of the Army
Navy. Air Force and Marine
Corp and about 2 million who
serve regular terms of two or three
years and then move into a re-
serve.
In order to supply these 2 mil
lion. both for the immediate fu-
ture and over the next several
years, it probably will be neces-
sary to take l million or more each
year for at least two years OF
service.
This will require revision and
extension of the present Selective
Service Act and broad authority
to fit available manpower into the
spots where it is most needed both
military and civilian.
