By Chinese, India Says

NEW DELHI. Oct, % (AP).-
India tonight charged Red
China with a fierce new attack
on an Indian patrol in the
Ladakh sector OF Kashmir. 1t
said II Indians were killed
and 3 we're wounded in the
fight Wednesday and that
others are missing.
Peiping calims the Ladakh
sector among about 10000
square miles Of border terri
tory under the Indian flag.
Chinese attachments occupied
parts Of the sector months ago
and have built a road across
it to link Tibet and extreme
Western China.
A government statement said
the attack took place 40 miles
inside the Indian border.
Troops Overwhelmed"
The Indian detachment was
surprised by heavy and sudden
fire from Chinese troops en-
trenched on a hilltop" it said.
The Indian troops fired back
but were reported "over-
whelmed by superior strength
and the use of grenades and
mortars."
The Indian government, call
ing this a matter of grave
consequence" has protested
strongly to Peiping.
"The area is 40 to so miles
west of the traditional China
India frontier which has been
shown in official Indian MAPS"
the Foreign Ministry said.
"The Chinese government
could not be under any misap-
prehension about the tradi-
tional border"

Little Four Countries
Have Summit Talks

VADUZ, Liechtenstein, Oct.
% (AP) Four of Europe's
tiniest nations which can't get
into the big conferences today
ran into a snag in trying to set
up their own little summit talks.
The issue: Keeping outsiders
out.
Delegates of Andorra. Liech-
tenstein, Monaco and San Ma
rino have arrived to discuss
coordination of their foreign
tourist trade.
Their territories cover only
a total of 291.5 square miles
but they are among the most
picturesque spots in Europe.
Before the talks on touriSm
begin the delegates must settle
a motion to include giant Lux
embourg 1899 square miles,
and the small English Channel
island of Sark Q,386 acreS)
into the joint effort.

claims Luxembourg and Sark

similar meetings and should be
represented again.
Baron Eduard Won Falz-Fein

Office, who is chairman of the
conference, is against inviting
them.

lated with the AFL-CIO.
Both groups have powerful
influence with Congress and in

erS. This was true even though
q. natural rivalry existed be-
tween the two largest postal
unions as to which welded the
most influence and power.
However, recently a breach
developed between the NALC
and the NFPOC. A dissident
faction broke away from the
NFPOC, forming the independ-
ent National Postal Clerks
Union. This left no doubt that
the Nationaal Association OF
Letter Carriers was the largest
union in the Government, the
postal service or otherwise.
= William c. Doherty, NALC
president, lost no time in push
ing his pet project-amalgama-
ton or merger of all postal
employe unions into one huge
postal employee organization.
This would greatly increase the
strength and power of the en-
tire postal employe movement
and other Government en-
ployes as well, Mr.. Doherty de-
elared.
This move has gained the
support of the AFL-CIO Ma
tional Postal Transport AS
ISOLATION and such non-aftili-
ated groups as the National
Postal Clerks Union and the
United National Association OF
Post Office Craftsmen.
The National Federation of
Post Office Clerks has resisted
such a merger proposal. Its
officials privately blame Mr.,
Doherty for taking advantage
of the secession movement of
Its disSident faction to foster
the one big union merger move.
j. Cline House, president Of
the National Federation of Post
Office Clerks, has now released
to the press correspondence be-
tween himself and AFL-CIQ
President George Meany.
{" In answer to pointed ques-
lions propounded him by Mr..
House, Mr.. Meany said in effect
that no non-AFL-CIO group Of
postal clerks such as the
dissident National Postal Clerks
Union or the United National
Association of Post Office
Craftsmen could be chartered

The Boys Went Dasaeeg
DEAR DICK: The general problem at our parties
is how to get the boys TO dance the cJalypsO.
We have had LADIES' Choice in chalypSoS but
even then the boys gang together and refuse TO
come out on the dance floor. Speaking for the
girls in our class, / plead with yOR to give rs a
solution. TTHdi, Kansas City, Mo.
Perhaps your friends feel they don't know
the steps well enough to perform them in
public. How about each Of you persuading
boy to practice with you in your home with
out an audience? After few practice sessions
the picture may change. If not, better settle
for dance everyone enjoys.
Sometimes it's smarter to let shy boy
dance his fox-trot step to the waltz, rock n
roll, jitterbug, rumba, tango, and chalypso -
and just be happy you've got him standing
up and moving with you on the dance floor.

periods Of the day for nail biting and strictly
avoid the habit the rest of the time.
Suggest that at, say, 10 in the morning, she,

biting her nails. And do the same thing at
4 in the afternoon, and 9 at night.

version on Columbia has
been moving down the OPP
position. just as Andrew
Jackson's troops m owed

Johnny's record wasn't the
first, however. The old folk
song was first recorded
months ago by Jimmy Drift
wood on a Victor LIP. After
1t came out, Johnny tele-
phoned from Shreveport,
La, where he usually works.
to Don Law in Nashville.
Tenn. Mr.. Law is Columbia's
director of country music.
Johnny asked Mr.. Law If
he had heard The Battle
of New Orleans" Mr.. Law
said he had.
The two worked out a fast
march rhythm for the song
and prepared a shorter YER
sion of the lyrics than
Jimmy Driftwood had used.
The arrangement called for
banjo, guitar, bass. drums
and a four-voice chorus.
Even then. Columbia didn't
release the record for
months. It was April when
word got around the grape
vine that Victor was making
a new single record with
Vaughn Monroe. So Columbia
hurriedly issued its version.
That broke 1t. Soon. half
a dozen companies had put
out records of the song.

of the growth Of the various

Forty-six kinds Of trees

later were eYaluated for
height and shape. Our friend,
the American sycamore, did
the best, nearly IS. feet in 10
years, but it was not far
ahead of the Moline elm, and
the American elm. These two
elrns were slightly behind the
Chinese elm, which is often
sold as the Siberian elm. BY
the way we don't recommend
the American sycamore be-
cause of anthracnose. The
European sycamore (plane

factory tree because Of its
resistance to this disease.
The cucumber tree mag

other fast growers according
