Nehru Warned
By Red China

NEW DELHI, Dec. S (AP) =
Red China has told India
Chinese troops would be justi-
fled in entering India's north
east region, but added it intends
to refrain from crossing the dis
puted border there.
The warning was contained
in the latest Chinese note on
the border dispute made public
by Prime Minister Nehru in
parliament today.
In summarizing the note. Mr..
Nehru said the Chinese hinted
that "if our military activities
are not stopped. they may have
to take action by sending troops
south of the Mcmahon line"
This is the. border as defined
by the British when they ruled
India.
Mr.. Nehru told a questioner
that if an invasion comes
obviously we shall resist
and repel it."
In the debate, Mr.. Nehru
omitted mention of the Chi
nese statement in the note that
the Communist troops have
orders not to cross the line.
India claims the Mcmahon
line is the northeastern border,
but China says the border lies
approximately 100 miles far
ther south.
Mr.. Nehru said that Peiping
in a letter received December
2 complained India was step
ping up military positions and
building new posts in the dis
puted Ladakh area of Kash-
mir and also in such areas as
Bara Hoti west of the Tibetan
border.
This area is more than 1000
miles west of India'S northeast
frontier region.
Mr.. Nehru was vague about
what military activities the
Chinese meant might touch off
an invasion of the northeast.
He said the note, among other
things. complained of Indian
aircraft flying over Chinese
territory.
The BritiSh-drawn Mcmahon
line has been the boundary
between India's Assam state
and Tibet-running from Bhu-
tan east to the Burmese border
since 1903 but the Red Chi
nese have Seen claiming $4,000
square miles south of the line.
Except for a single Chinese out
post. however, there have been
no official reports of Chinese
expansion south of the line.
The Reds already have occu-
pied 10000 square miles claimed
by India in Ladakh, and the
latest Peiping letter was in re-
ply to an Indian protest that
the Communists had pushed
their posts farther into Indian
claimed territory.

in the U. N. attack on Katanga
forces in September which
failed to end the PROVINCES
secession and bring it under
control of the central govern

India is taking steps to meet

uguese military buildup in Goa.
The Indian government long

clave to this country. and
Portugal has shown determine
ton to hold 1t.
Staying Charged
The sources said the situa-
ton Is being dealt with on the
basis of a national emergency
since the Goan question flared
up recently. The flareup came
with an Indian charge that one
of its fishermen was shot dead
by the Portuguese.
More than 10 passenger
trains were Cancelled to enable
the troop movements toward
Goa and also toward the other
two tiny Portuguese enclaves
of Damao and Diu. north of
Bombay.
Indian reports from the Goa
area spoke of alarm caused
by Portuguese military meas

however, the Portuguese meas

in fear that India might
launch an effort to seize the
