Neflru's S China
Trip Lauded
BY EUGENE LEVIN

NEW DELHI, R-India's news
papers hailed Prime Minister
Nehru's tour of Communist China
as a great historical event. In their
enthusiasm papers found little if
anything to criticize.
Writers generally seem to be-
lieve Nehru convinced Red China
leaders they must take steps to
assure other Asian countries--such
as Burma and Indonesia - that
Peiping plans no aggression and
has only peaceful intentions.
India newsmen also give indica-
tions they are impressed by the
promises of Red China's Mao TIE
tung and Chou En-lai to cooperate
with India's peace efforts. As a
result, newspapers appear fully to
endorse Nehru's trip.
Most of these impressions
emerge from front page "spot
news" stories sent from Pepiping
by leading staffers of newspapers
and Indian News agencies. These
staffers were invited to China at
the expense of the Peiping govern
ment.
Only after Nehru left Peiping
did any Indian newspaper display
hint of criticism. The Times Of
India said Thursday that the Chi
nese Communists tried to play
power politics" and get Nehru
openly to side with the Reds. The
newspaper said Nehru properly
held his position OF "nonalign-
ment."
New Delhi newspapers generally
took a more sober view of the visit
in their comments Thursday than
they had at any previous time in
the tour. They said the Communists
still must make good any prom
ises given the Indian leader but
suggested there was no reason to
believe the Reds would renege.

Strong Support
Expected
6-Point Plan
U N SECURITY BIT
Nv TOM HOGE

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. "a
The United States sought approval
today for it's six-point plan to Dol
ster U. N. forces against aggres.
sion. Diplomats predicted the pro-
posal would win strong support
despite expected Soviet opposition.
U. S. Delegate Charles A. Ma
honey prepared to 60 before the
60-nation Political Committee TO
present the plan, under which the
U. N. would pay for supplies and
equipment used in collective mill
tary action against any future az
gressor.
U. S. sources said Mahoney
would point out the close connec-
ton between disarmament and
collective measures in the devel-
opment of a safe, secure world.
They said he would stress the need
for fast participation by member
states in any future collective ac-
ton.
The U. S. plan was approved
by the 14-nation Collective Meas
ures Committee, whose annual re-
port furnished the basis for to-
days debate.
The plan calls on U. N. men,
bers to, contribute to the best Of
their ability-sending troops, sup
plies or money. It also urges the
u. N. to support action taken by
regional pacts such as the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO).
Informants said the United
States probably would support a
move to continue the life of the
Measures Committee, established
under the Truman-Acheson "unit-
ing for peace" program in 1850.
There was some question wheth-
er the Political Committee would
be asked to extend the existence
of the collective measures group
for another year, or give it perma-
nent status.
Delegates predicted - unless
something unexpected develops
the security measures debate
should wind up early next week.
But there were rumors Russia
might consider the debate q good
occasion to come up with some
proposal of her own.
Russia has refused 10 have any
part in the Collective Measures
Committee, arguing that the issue
lay within the province Of the Sc
curity Council rather than the As
sembly. ,....,-..
