Nehru Denies Pledge
For u. S. Protection

NEW DELHI, Aug. II (AP) .
Prime Minister Nehru denied
today that the United States
has any commitment to help
India if Pakistan attacks.
Closing a foreign affairs de-
bate in parliament, Mr.. Nehru
referred to a recent statement
in Washington by United States
Undersecretary of State Chester
Bowles that the United States
is committed to help either
India or Pakistan if one was
attacked by the other. Mr..
Bowles said this only reiterated
a pledge by President Eisen-
hover in 1854.
Whatever commitments the
United States might have with
PakiStan, with which it is mill
tarily allied, there is no ques-
ton of any commitment to
India, Mr.. Nehru said.
Mr.. Nehru noted some
countries which are not men,
bers of the Southeast Asia
Treaty Organization are said
to be under that organizations
protection.
1--WE are not under any pro-
lection" or shielded by any al
lance, the prime minister de-
clared.
Mr.. Nehru recalled India
had protested to the United
States in 1854 when American
military aid began to Pakistan,
the neighbor with which India
lives in continual hostility.
Mr.. Eisenhower replied with
an offer of military aid to In
dia, Mr.. Nehru said.
The offer to US was not very
much in keeping with our dig
nifty or theirs" and was re-
jected, Mr.. Nehru said.
He denied Pakistan President
Ayub Khan's charge that In
dia had once received military
aid from the United States.

scientific circles. He is a spe-
cialist in inorganic chemistry
In Moscow the Soviet For
eign Ministry declined COM
ment on the detection. Spokes-
men at the Soviet Academy
of Science and the Soviet Acad-
emy of Organic Chemistry
claimed they had never heard
of DR.. Klotchko.
Commissioner C. w. Harvi-
son Of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police, who took DR.,
Klotchko under his protection,
described the Russian as a
chemist of considerable world
Importance"
Own Story Awaited
Mr.. Harrison said last night
he preferred to let DR.. Klotchko
tell his own story of what
motivated his detection but
that the Russian wanted a
good nights sleep before de-
Gliding whether to meet news
men.
DR.. Klotchko was in a group
of Soviet scientists that came tC
Canada early in August for the
18th International Congress or
Theoretical and Applied Chem
istry in Montreal and stayed or
to do some sightseeing.
DR.. Klotchko did not read a
paper at the conference. Cana
dian scientists who saw him
there described him as a man
of medium height, thin face
ruddy complexion, gray hail
and a small muStache. He is a
widower with no family in Rus
sia, they said.
Strategic Value Doubted
DR.. Alan D. Westland, assist
ant professor of chemistry at
the University of Ottawa, said
he had glanced over some OF
DR.. Klotchko's published work
and on the basis of these
doubted his detection would be
be of strategic Importance to
Canada.
The published work was
largely concerned with electri-
cal properties and a study of
electrodes, DR.. Westland said.

TitoV Flight
Photos Shown

MOSCOW, Aug. IT (AP).-
The Communist Party news
paper Pravda today published
photographs of space a n
Gherman Titov taken inside
his space ship during his 25-
hour flight in orbit around the
earth August 6 and 7.
Pravda said small TV cam
eras were installed in Vostok
II, the space ship. and trans
mitted images were recorded
by movie cameras. The film
shows Maj. Titov from the start
of the flight and includes shots
of him while in a state OF
weightlessness.
Pravda also carried a long
report on the co-ordinating
computing center which
tracked Maj. Titov during his
flight.
On long tables at the CEN
ter. the account said, numerous
maps were placed under glass
with the route of every revolu-
ton of Titov's space ship.
The time and points over
which Maj. Titov would be
passing had been determined in
advance. Another map showed
the location of ground stations
which followed the flight.
Observation stations also
were located on ships in the
Atlantic and Pacific, Pravds
said. A chart showed the net
work set up for finding Maj,
Titov If he landed elsewhere
than the predetermined area.
In adjacent rooms at the
center, special equipment re-
ceived instructions from the
technical supervisor of the
flight and for direct converse
tion with Titov.

Saigon Force
Routs Rebels,
Seizes Arms

moo HOA, South Wet Nam,
Aug. IT tAP).-South Wet
Mans armed forces have
scored their second major VIC
tory in their long war against
Communist rebels here on the
desolate swampy Plaine des
Jones, so miles southwest of
Saigon.
The commander of the op-
Grafton, Col. Huynh Van Gao,
said that although casualties
we're lighter than in the last
major operation-upwards of
100 Wet Cong rebels killed
the latest victory might be
more significant because vast
stores of arms and munitions
were seized.
The battle which ragged Tues
day and yesterday came almost
a month after-and only 20
miles from the site of-the
July Is clash where more than
l8O Wet Cong were killed.
This time an estimated O.
600 government troops caught
a 450-man Wet Cong battalion
in trap and drove them into
a pocket. They blasted them
for two days with heavy ar
tillery and mortarS, while air
force planes hit them with
machine gun strafing, rockets
and napalm fire bombs.
One Soldier Drowned
Col. Gao said he lost one dead
soldier who drowned fording
a canal. American advisers on
the scene said their informa-
tion tended to confirm this.
The Wet Cong avoided con-
tact where they could, but they
were caught by the artillery
and air support" said Col.
Cao's senior American adviser,
1t. Col. Frank Clay of Wash
ington, D. c.
Twenty-Five Wet Cong pris-
oners-including two female
nurses-were taken.
Col. Gao said the Wet Cong
casualty figure was based on
estimates. Most enemy dead
came from artillery and plane
attacks. Some were lost in the
tall grass or chest-deep water
of the vast swampland, and
Others were buried by survivors,
he said.
Survivors Slip Away
Survivors of the rebel bat
talon were believed burying
their weapons and slipping
away.
Government troops today
were closing out the operation
with a final sweep of a 20-mile- :
square area, but there was little
hope of another major engage
ment.
1T is amazing how the Wet
Cong can break up and slip
away. They crawl, go under
water and everything" said
Col. Clay.
Col. Gao said equipment cap
tured included five tons of am
munition and mines, a large
printing shop, radio transmit
ters and five complete arsenals
for making rifles.

A young Congressman-mem-
ber of the John Birch Society
said today he is very seriously
considering" challenging Sem
ate Minority Whip Thomas H.
Kuchel in next years Califor-
mia Republican senatorial pri-
mary.
Representative John Rousse-
lot made the statement after
returning yesterday from a
political sounding expedition to
California. Mr.. RouSselot, 33,
was elected to his FIRST term in
the House last year from a
suburban Los Angeles district
on a straight-out conservative
platform.
He identified himself as a
member of the Birch society
during the wave of controversy
about the semi-secret, right
wing group earlier this year.
Senator Kuchel, So, has been
in the Senate nine years and
generally is classified with the
COP. liberal bloc. He has de-
nounced the Birch society in
strong terms.
Most leaders of the California
Republican Party already in
dorsed Senator Kuchel, and
many of them have urged Mr.
Rousselot to avoid a potentially
party-splitting fight.
The Congressman conferred
Monday with former Vice
President Nixon. He said yes

clear that he had Endorsed
Senator Kuchel and woulc
stand by that on the basis thai
he was indorsing all incumbent
