Indio's Nehru:
Border War?

Prime Minister Nehru Of India
has long been accused of too
cordial a friendship with Com
muniSt China. India has con-
sistently pleaded Red China's
case in the United Nations. Mr..
Nehru and his astute representa-
tive v. K. Krishna-M enon have
led the so-called "neutralist" bloc
in Asia and Africa in policies often
irritating to the West and COM
foFting to che Communist bloc.
But last week relations between
New Delhi and Peiping, increas-
ingly chilly since the Chinese
suppression Of the Tibetan revolt
and the fight to India of The
Dalai Lama. had reached sthe
shooting stage. In blunt, angry
words, Mr.. Nehru told Parliament
that Chinese Communist troops
from Tibet had penetrated the
Indian border at two points, had
attacked an Indian border police
post, and were remaining inside
midas Subansiri frontier district.
There is no alternative for JUS
but to defend our country's Dor
ders and integrity" the Prime
Minister told Parliament, adding
that official protests to Peiphg
had thus far had been rejected.
The tabled Northeast Frontier
has been placed under direct mill
tary control, with the Indian
Army's Chief of Staff, 1t. Gen.
K. S. Thimayya, in command.
In London, where United States
and British officials comforting on
deails of the Eisenhower trip we're
apprised of the increasingly
serious Indian situation, there
was a disposition to exercise
restraint in hopes that Mr.. Nehru
would succeed in his protests to
Peiping. But Western diplomats
unoff1cially expressed surprise at
the Chinese recklessness toward
their former supporter and friend.
Mr.. Nehru himself. although
firm and grimly serious. eau
toned against an "alarmiSt" view.
The Indian Tibetan border, noun
famous and in places almost in
accessible, is vague enough to
make possible accidental incur
sions, Indian officials pointed out.
But actual shooting at Indian
border police and attacks on posts.
they added, could hardly be
termed accidental.

Wednesday afternoon that the
product Of the conference up to
that time was go per cent Lam

But Senator Kennedy, MasSa-
chusetts Democrat who heads the
Senate conferees, apparently de-
cided he had gone far enough for
a man who would hope for Big
Labor's support should he win the
presidential nomination he seeks
in 1860. He stood firm on the
three remaining controversial
issues covering organizational
picketing, secondary boycotts and
the mo mans land" between Fed
eral and State jurisdiction in GER
tain labor disputes.
Once the deadlock had been
reached, the administration forces
in the Senate-supporters of Lam

Senator Dirksen, the minority
leader, introduced a resolution
asking the Senate to instruct its
conferees to accept the House bill.
Senator Kennedy offered a coun-
ter-resolution seeking support for
his demand for Safeguards" for
legitimate union activities.
Votes on these resolutions, and
probably others, are expected on
the Senate floor on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, supporters Of both
tough" and mild" legislation will
be busy rallying public support for
the showdown. There could be an
extra heavy mail for Senators on
Monday.

neither side wants to be first to
label the talks a failure.
Last week the United States
announced that the temporary
cessation Of testing effective last
October 81 and limited to one
year would be extended until De-
cember 81. Britain joined in the
extension, and on Friday the So
Wet Union declared there would
be no Soviet weapons tests as long
as there were none in the West.
But the Soviet Council Of Minis
tiers statement referred to "the
Western powers" when it said
"only in case of resumption by
them of nuclear weapons tests
will the Soviet Union be free from
this pledge" And in the desolate
reaches of the Sahara Desert, a

THE NATIONAL SCENE
Special Session May be the Answer

In his nearly seven years In
the White House, President Eli
senhower has yet to call special
session of Congress. He has
threatened to in the past, directly
and indirectly. but the lawmakers
always seemed to give him enough
of what he wanted.
This year it could be different.
Observers who have professed to
see a new Eisenhower" or the
real "old Eisenhower" in the Pres
ident's decision to take the ag-
gressive road of personal diplo-
macy in East West affairs, believe
he will seriously consider bring
ing Congress back this fall unless
it passes legislation he deems vital
before it adjournS, probably
within the next two weeks or so.
Perhaps first on the Presidents
priority list is his demand for &C
ton to help the Treasury De-
partment in it's awesome task Of
managing $3.50 billion Federal
debt.
Asserting that mo issue Of
greater Importance has come be-
fore this session." Mr.. Eisenhower
sent a special message to Con-
greSs on Tuesday reminding it
that on June he requested leg
iSlation which would:
Remove the artificial limitation
of 4.25 per cent which a 1918 law
still imposes on the interest rate
at which the Treasury is allowed
to borrow money for more than
five years; remove the 1926 per
cent ceiling on the rate the Gov
eminent can pay on savings

restore French prestige and
glory" he has indicated. includes
absolute equality with the United
States and Britain in nuclear
weapons, and he has resolutely
rejected suggestions that France
refrain from testing in the in
terestS Of an international accord.
Extension of the temporary sus-
pension followed months Of in
creaSingly open pressure on the
White House to resume tests. The
Defense Department and the
Atomic Energy Commission, warm
ing that continued testing is neces-
sary if the West is to develop an
adequate nuclear arsenal and keep
abreast of Soviet weapons tech
nology, have sought permission
to resume tests promptly after
the temporary ban expires. But
Wednesdays White House an
nouncement rejected their argu-
ments for two more months.

Little Laos:
NewArmsA Aid.

When the long, desperate war
in Indo-China ended in partition
in 1854, Laos and Cambodia be-
came independent while Wet
Nam was divided into two parts:
The Communist north and the
on-Communist south. For the
past several weeks, irregular Com
munist troops and guerrillas have
been penetrating Laotian frontier
districts and in several raids have
attacked posts only 16 miles from
the capital of Vientiane.
Although the Communist bands
appear to be armed, equipped and
supplied from Communist North
Wet Nam, the Ho Chi Mimi regime
insists that the trouble in Laos
is civil war" The Laotian gov
eminent has charged officially
that the Communist attacks are
being instigated by North Wet
Nam and Communist China.
Last week the United States an
nounced an emergency airlift OF
supplies and equipment to LABS
from bases in FormoSa and the
Philippines. The additional ma
terrell will permit the arming of
5000 more men in the Laotian
Army and militia units. No Ameri-
can combat troops are in Laos, nor
are there American air bases there.
but the United States aid prograin
includes military personnel pro
vided for instruction and training.
Some observers profess to seem
the Laotian crisis a Chinese Com
muniSt-inspired move to weaken
the effectiveness of the forthcoin-
ing exchange of visits between Mr..
Khurshchev and President EiSen-
hover. Others contend that the
incursionS in Laos and along the
Indian border are typical of Com
munist tactics planned to keep up
a continuous, needing pressure
against the West by a series of
brush fire" wars along the fringes
Of Western allied territories. *
Vientiane government sources
have barred newsmen from the
regions under attack and have not
provided tactical brief1ngs. But
officials indicated that Communist
forces have established contfol
over a 50-mile stretch of Laotian
territory north of the capital and
are probing southwark in small
night attacks on isolated outposts.

on Wednesday: II don't think it

not the slightest chance the Sen
ate will do anything this year."
His statement was quickly chal-
lenged by Senator Byrd, Democrat
of Virginia, chairman of the SEN
ate Finance Committee, who sup
ports the President.
1T seems to me to be somewhat
inconsistent for the House to alibi
itself around this very important
matter" the Senator said. Under

House originates legislation relat-
ng to taxation, debt and interest.
As the House, after weeks of con-
sideration, has passed no interest

Adennuer Reservations

The decision Of the President
to talk first with Mr.. Adenauer
had been unoffcially ascribed to
the aging Chancellor's known res
ervations, if not outright oppo-
sition, to direct talks between the
Soviet Premier and Mr.. Eisen-
hover.
The President hoped, 1t was
reported, to gain at least &C
ceptance if not support of the
Khrushchev talks from the re-
luctant West German leader. But
in % hours he appears to have
achieved full confidence rather
than forbearance in. Bonn. and
if his reassurances to the Ger
mans involved guarantees or
pledges beyond those mentioned
in the official communique, they
were not revealed.
In conversations with Chancel-
lor Adenauer, President Theodor
Heuss, Foreign Minister Won Bren-
tano and other German officials,
the President and Secretary Of
State Christian Herter discussed,

munique. worldwide political

problems Of Berlin and German

ton of the two countries in the

and q workable system of detcc-

While the British and American
delegateScomplain that the Soviet
Union is resisting adequate in

delegate charges that opposition
to a test ban in United States
military quarters is responsible for
the impasse. The Western powers,
the Kremlin charged last week,
advance one demand after an
other, complicating the achieve
ment of agreement" 49,
Despite the lack Of concrete
agreement, however, the Geneva
confereeS have continued to nego-
tiate in an atmosphere largely
free from acerbity and bitterness.
There is still optimism among Dip
lomats that an accord will be
reached, unless, of course, France
renders the discussions moot by
unilateral testing. e

For the last 10 months, with

quick to caution that this does
not necessarily mean that such a
majority could be mustered in the
face of a veto.
It was noted particularly that

that required for overriding.
Furthermore, 48 members did not

remain to be seen. Although Mr..
Herter has several times taken
pains to emphasize basic Western
unity on major problems, he has
admitted the existence of differ
ences in the family. 1t is to re-
concile these. at least to some
extent, that Mr.. Eisenhower has
gone to Europe in advance of his
meeting with Mr.. KhruShchev.
