NEW DELHI, India, March /.
Prime Minister Nehru rejected
President Eisenhower offer of
arms aid for India today and de-
manded that American observers
with the United Nations cease
fire team in disputed Kashmir
be withdrawn.
BY giving military aid to PAX
istan, MIR. Nehru told his cheer
ing parliament, the United States
had interviewed in the Indian
Pakistan fight over the Hima-
layan state and the American OBJ
servers therefore ''can no longer
be treated by us as neutrals."
At the end of 1853 the United
States had IA officers with the
48-member u N military mis-
sion supervising the Kashmir
truce. The United States Air
Force also makes a CAT trans
port and crew available when
needed.
Matter of Principle.
Gen. Eisenhower's offer of
American arms aid "has done
less than justice to us or to him
self" the Premier declared, con-
tinuing:
IF we object to military aid
being given to Pakistan. we would
be hypocrites and unprincipled
| opportunists to accept it our
selves"
Announcing the aid to Paki-
stan last week, Gen. Eisenhower
had said the United States would
give most, sympathetic consider
alton" to any request from India
for such help. In a letter to Mr..
Nehru he also assured India that
the United States would see to
it that Pakistan used the arms
from America for defense only.

his three paragraph reply.
thanking the United States
President "for your personal mes
sage" and saying his government
would continue to follow it's pres

Window Pane Suspect
Held in Store Break-in

Police today caught a house

broke into homes and stores by
removing entire panes of glass

mittee unanimously voted to
institute contempt citation pro-
ceedingS against Pvt. David Lin
field. of New York City. who took
refuge in the fifth amendment
at today's hearing and refused
to answer questions about Com
munist affiliation.
Senator McCartt lid that,
despite Pvt. Linf1eld's resort to
the fifth amendment, the con-
tempt citation will be sought on
the ground that the soldier i'm
properly used that constitutional
guarantee in refusing to answer
numerous proper questions about
his military service.
The subcommittee at the same
time gave a clean bill of health
to Sidney Rubenstein. %, of
New York City, who admitted he
belonged to Communist Party
youth organizations for two or
three months in 1913 but "wised
UP and got out" six years ago
Mr.. Rubenstein was dis
charged from the Army at Fort
Banks, Winthrop, Mass, on Feb
ruary Is. The subcommittee
said he had wanted to stay in
the Army but was given a sec
ond grade honorable discharge"
apparently because of his Com
munist membership years ago.
Those connections were known
to the Army because Mr.. Ruben
stein made no attempt to con-
ceal them when he volunteered
q year and three months ago.
Peress Case Cited.
The difference in Army ham
ding of the Linfield and Ruben
stein cases. as well as the honor
able discharge given several
weeks ago to an Army Reserve
major, DR.. Irving PeresS. was
cited by Senator Mccarthy as
the main reason for the coming
session with Secretary Stevens.
The conformation of Senator
Mccarthy and Mr.. Stevens
seemed likely to provide consid-
cradle drama, in view of the con-
troversial cancellation of their
scheduled public meeting last
Thursday.
Following today's closed hear
ing, attended by most Of the sub
committee members, Senator
Mccarthy told reporters that he
was confused and greatly puz-
zled" by the contradictory man
ner in which the Army has
handled the three security cases
under study. He declared that
neither he nor the subcommittee
as a whole wanted this to be
construed as criticism of Mr..
Stevens.
But he declared he believed the
matter should be discussed
thoroughly with Mr.. Stevens so
that the general public as well
as the Army itself could arrive at
q clear and uniform policy in
dealing with servicemen who are
or were Communists.
Earlier, the Senator said he
thought Brig. Gen. Ralph
Zwicker-the officer Mr.. Stevens
said suffered humiliating treat
,ment at Senator McCarthy's
hands-should be recalled later
because the general showed by
his testimony he is "either mis-
taken or guilty of perjury"
The truce announced five days
ago rested on a memorandum by
which Mr.. Stevens agreed Sen
ator McCarthy's Subcommittee
might question Gen. Zwicker and
other Army witnesses whose tes-
tilnony it had been seeking.
Regarded as Surrender.
The agreement was almost
universally regarded as a sur
render to Senator Mccarthy. Mr..
Stevens later sought to counter
this impression with a statement,
publicly backed by President
