The MOOD OF EAR MYSTERY
Red China an Active Military Threat
BY CROSBY S. MOVES
Foreign Correspondent of The sta

HONG KONG. - In the long
run, Red China-its ambitions
and its capabilitieS-probably will
determine the outcome of the
struggle for Southeast Asia.
This opinion, which is taken as
a truiSm here, comes as something
of surprise to those who have
watched the development of the
crisis in Laos and Wet Nam from
the other side Of the line. China's
role in the crisis has been a
strangely passive one.
Crosby S. Noyes, foreign cor
respondent Of The Star, has
just completed trip to South
east Asia where he has written
about conditions in several
areas. This article gives his re-
port on Red China from infOr-
nation gathered in various
countries. 1t was sent from
Hong Kong.

1t was the Russians who first
started flying in food and sup
plies to Vientiane. It is they who
have continued to build up the
strength of the Communist Pathet
Lao forces while delaying their
reply to a Birtish-American call
for a ceaSe-fire and the opening
of negotiations.
Though in all this the Chinese
have taken no direct hand, their
stake in the outcome is at least
as great as Russia's. 1t is the Chi
nese in the end who stand to
gain most from the expansion Of
communism in Southeast Asia.
It is they who run the greatest
risk of military involvement If
the plan for conquest should back
fire.
Speculation Is Extensive
The pasSiveness of Red China
in this situation has given rise to
q good deal of freewheeling spec
ulation about the reasons, ranging
from new talk of Russian Chinese
differences to reports of an i'm
minent collapse of the Peking
regime.
Even in this city, the focal
point of almost all Western intel
ligence on Red China, the crystal
ball is clouded. Nevertheless, there
are two broad conclusions which
seem to find fairly general ac-
Ceptance here.
The first is that the Chinese,
facing very serious economic prob
lens of their own, would prefer
to stay out of a shooting war in
Southeast Asia If it can be done.
The second is that, despite these
problems. they probably would in
tervene in Laos If the Communist
forces there we're threatened with
military defeat.
Try as they may, diplomatic
and intelligence experts have
been able to find little in the way
of a valid basis for speculation
about Russian Chinese rift over
Laos.
Minor differences Of approach
may have existed in the past.
Others, possibly more serious, may
develop in the course of any large
scale diplomatic negotiation in
which the Chinese take part.
But in general, If the Chinese
have taken a hands-off attitude
toward the crisis it is not because
they disapprove of the way
things in Laos are developing. On
the contrary, they could hardly
be shaping up more satisfactorily
in terms Of some of China's most
cherished ambitions.
There Is particular scepticism
for the theory that the Russians
moved into Laos when they did
in order to "pre-empt" a. similar
move by the Chinese. This theory
is based in the idea that the
Russians, fearing that Chinese
belligerance might involve them
in an unwanted war, acted to
impose a more moderate and
limited form Of intervention

NEARBY VOTES

Evening star., 1961-04-30
By WILLIAM r. FRYE
Contributing Writer

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-The
first 100 days of Adlai E. Steven
son at the United Nations have
been tumultuouS, frustrating and
lnconclusive in all respects but
one. That one: That Mr.. Stevenson
personally is a master of the
diplomatic trade.
The new United States delegate
to the U. N. scarcely had time to
dust off his desk last January
before major Congo crisis blew
up in his face as a result of the
murder Of Patrice Lumumba.
Much of the next three months
found him in the midst of one
such challenge after another.
He Survived-and survived very
well.
Looking back on the last 100
days, three major threads can be
detected:
. Mr.. Stevenson sought to iden-
tify the United States with anti
colonial Africa and Asia, at the
same time minimizing, where he
could, the damage to traditional
American alliances with Europe
and Latin America.
Q He sought to establish a line
of communication, if not yet of
meaningful negotiation, with the
Soviet delegation.
. He opened up for reconSidera-
ton traditional United States
policies, tactics and viewpoints,
giving other delegates a welcome
impression of flexibility and OPEN
mindedneSs. At the same time, he
introduced a new dimension of
SHbtlety and literary style into
American public utteranceS here.
Extraordinary Reputation
Mr.. Stevenson had the advantage
of an extraordinary reputation
preceding him. In a sense, this
reputation was also a handicap,
in that his every utterance was
expected to be in iambic pentam-
eter, and no man could live up
to such a standard. But in gen.
eral. 1t was an asset to have U. N.
delegates viewing him through
rose-tinted Spectacles.
Soon after he arrived, the usu-
ally blase Secretariat News, house
organ of Dag Hammarskjold's in
ternational civil service, passed
along to its readers a highly COM
plimentary bit of Stevensoniana.
The new United States delegate,
it said. had been asked how he
managed to avoid the deleterious
effects of so much popular adula-
ton.
"Oh," he was quoted as reply
ing. "it's all right so long as you
don't inhale." The attitude be-
hind publication of this story was
as significant as the story itself.
Mr.. Stevenson began his tenure
with important personal and policy
approaches to the Africans. He
paid them elaborate courtesies,
sought them out socially, and
asked their advice. More i'm
portant. he followed that advice,
at least in certain respects.
A Changing Policy
The United States Congo policy
underwent subtle but significant
changes in directions desired by
the moderate Africans. A United
States aid plan for Africa, first

ures-blamed by the regime on
natural calamities, by others on
bad planning-have brought large
sections of the country virtually
to the point of starvation and
forced drastic revisions of the
development program laid down
by Mao TSe-tung three years ago.
Labor Underfed, Exhausted
Refugees and travellers arriving
in Hong Kong from as far away
as Manchuria report that the
labor force throughout the country
is undernourished and exhausted.
Hunger seems to be the chief
motivation of nearly everyone who
has fled China to seek refuge here
in recent months.
The party authorities themselves
are becoming increasingly con-
cerned over the rising rate of
absenteeism and disease caused by
malnutrition which is spreading
rapidly in many areas. The
Chinese press openly complains of
the prevalence of such illnesses as
oedema. liver ailments, night
blindness and berri-berri which
affect whole communities and call
for more active medical efforts to
combat them. There is little talk,
however, Of increasing food rationS.
Undernourishment is, of course,
not new in China. Indeed, in a
sense, 1t Is the deliberate policy of
the Red regime. Food exports
largely to Communist bloc coun-
tries-are China's only way of
buying abroad what it needs for
its ambitious program Of indus
trial development.
Program Will Continue
And despite acute shortages the
program Of exports still continues,
with the people being urged in
classic Communist fashion to
accept the sacrifice gladly in
cause Of triumphant socialism.
Today, however, even the party
leaders seem to be aware that
there are limits beyond which it
would be dangerous to go. In
some places there have been signs
of breakdown of public order.
Refugees tell of widespread steal
ing of food, night raids by hungry
farmers on fields and even on

County Feeder Tour
Planned For Feb. 8
By County Agent

The first Glacier county feeder
tour will be held Friday, Feb. 8,
beginning at the Pfeifer brothers
feed yards, two miles east of
Blackfoot, at $50 am. From
Blackfoot cattlemen will go to
the Newhouse Cattle Company,
% miles southwest of Cut Bank,
where Bill Newhouse will pro-
vide a lunch. The tour will end
at the Summons feed yards, IL
miles north of Cut Bank.
Each feed yard is unique in
that it was built around a diff
ferent plan, and for a definite
style of feeding operation. Each
has much that is desirable and
each is doing the job.
Come and see how these feed
ers are converting cheap feed
into desirable beef. Ask the feed
ers about their results. Hear Mr..
Thain Wulf describe what the
slaughter buyer wants, what kind
of animal the market demands.
Then hear Paul Circuit discuss
rations.
Those who wish, may meet at
the courthouse at $3.50 am. and
consolidate rides.

oklahoman Appointed
To Policy Committee
For Indian Affairs

Secretary of the Interior Stew
art L. Udall Tuesday appointed
w. w. Keller, Bartlesville, Okla,
a former chief of the Cherokee
Indian tribe and vice-president
of the Phillips Petroleum Co., as
consultant on planning policy
and reorganization of functions
of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
In announcing the appointment
Udall said "some decentraliza-
ton" may be in order since a
major problem is getting more
brain power and man power in
Indian areas rather than in Wash
ington.
Udall said Keller had been
offered the position of Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs but felt
he could not take it.
The Interior Secretary said an
Oklahoman who is a career en-
ploye in the Indian office at
Washington has the inside track
for appointment as Acting Com
missioner of Indian Affairs. He
did not disclose the name of the
Oklahoman.

Browning VS.. chofeau

The Browning Indians eked
out a As to 43 win over the Cho-
teau Bulldogs in a ragged con-
test Friday evening, January 20.
The Bulldogs took an early s.
point lead but Browning fought
back to a 2-point deficit at the
end of the first quarter, 81.
The Indians, with all five play
ers finding the range, jumped to
a half-tirr2 lead of 25 to 10. In
the third quarter, the lead was
extended to 10 points, only to be
blown as the game progressed.
Merle Magee, who played only
half the contest, collected his
fifth foul shortly after the fourth
quarter started.
The Bulldog press proved eff
fective and with 80 seconds re-
naming, they managed to tie the
game at 43 all. A long pass from
Mailman to McCurtain Melted a
field goal which proved to be the
winning margin.
Browning shot an even 80 per
cent from the field and 81 per
cent from the charity line. For
Browning, McCurtain pulled
down 10 rebounds and Magee
nine.
In the preliminary, the Brown
ing "B" squad defeated the Cho-
team app AZ IN a

The last time Browning was
awarded the honor to host teams
of the local district was in the
late 1940's when the Indians were
then in Class c, and the compe-
tition was held in the old gym
nasium in the elementary school
building. The coming tournament
will therefore be the first to be
held in the new gym.
The Class B tournament is con-
sidered outstanding in that it
is known as the toughest district
in that classification, due to the
fact that team play during the
year is fiercely competitive be-
fore the conference standings are
concluded.
The first tourney during the
three-day February 1925 period
will field the Conrad Cowboys,
Fairfield Eagles, Browning In
dams, Cut Bank Wolves, Sun
burst Refiners, Waller Panthers
and the Choteau Bulldogs.
The latter tournament of March
pa will pit with one another the
best All Indian independent
teams in the nation and is an
invitational affair. 1t is sponsored
by the Browning Lions Club and
is a tremendous event, judging
from the surprising and unex-
pected attendance at all sessions
during last years tourney.
The host Browning Braves, de-
Tending champions, will vie with
teams from Fort Yates, North
Dakota; Warm Springs, Oregon;
Fort Peck, Montana; Pine Ridge,
South Dakota; Chiloquin, Ore
gon; LaConner, Washington, and
Toppenish, Wellington.
Sport fans are warnS3 that,
while the new gymnasium is spa
cious, tournament crowds can
overtax almost any gymnasium
in the state, particularly during
championship nights, and that
they should secure season tick
cts for the events to assure seat
ing.
Ticket sales for the All-Indian
competitions are termed brisk"
by Frank Greco of the Lions club
who reported he alone, without
counting those sold by his help,
sold Is tickets Monday.
Other sources besides the Greco
Drug where tickets may be OBJ
tanned are the Businessmen'S
Club, Park Lanes and from Vern
Hartford.
Tickets for the high school tour
nament are available at the high
school office and tickets can be
reserved now. --

The S226, $4,000 share which
would be borne by Montana to
support the Presidents budget
is about 1lz times the amount of
taxes collected last year to fl
nance all state, county and local
governmental services for the
coming fiscal year exceeds &C
tual expenditures in any past
year with the exception of World
War III years, 1914 and 1945. Yet
it will be only base on which
the Kennedy administration will
build if Congress supports it.
Proposals for spending mater
tally in excess of the Eisenhow-
er budget recommendations can
be expected in connection with
depressed areas, education, hous-
ing, public works unemployment
compensation and possibly other
programs. Also, there is the prob
ability that higher defense spend
ing will be proposed.
With the budget being rather
precariously balanced, as it is,
on the basis of optimistic revenue
projections and increased postal
rates which Congress may not
enact, it is clear that the sub.
stantial increases in spending
being proposed by Mr.. Kenne-
dy's advisors would cause an
other multi-billion dollar deficit
if approved by Congress. This, of
course, would preclude tax re-
forms that are needed to promote
economic growth.

Glacier Schools To
Receive S94,84l In
First Sfufe Payment

HELENA - Superintendent OF
Public Instruction Harriet Miller
this week notified County Urea
surer George Masengill and the
County Superintendent of School
Mrs. Laura Jane Taft that Ola,
cier county will receive S94,84l.0O
as the first of two payments for
ele entary and secondary
schools from the State Public
School Equalization Fund.
Miss Miller said the first pay.
ment represents about go per
cent of the money which the
county's schools are scheduled TO
receive from this source in the
current school year.
The elementary schools will
also receive a payment next
month from another source, the
Interest and Income from the
State Permanent School Fund,
the state superintendent said.
The state payments are for aid
ing in the support of the schools
Foundation programs, or basic
budgets, Miss Miller said. The
balance of the Foundation Pro
gram money comes from school
district and county taxes.
The school districts and coun-
ties also provide most of the
funds which schools need over
and above the Foundation Pro
gram. Statewide, the Foundation
Program accounts for only about
half of all school costs, Miss Mill
er explained.

the Fairfield Eagles on the Eagle
floor, AZ to A. This was the hard
est fought game of the season
with both teams going all out
Browning played excellent de-
Tense and were demons on the
boards, but again, cold shooting
couldn't be denied as the Indians
hit only 80 per cent against the
taller Eagles.
Fairfield led by 10-7 at the first
quarter and 81 to IL at half-time.
The Indians stormed back in the
third period to go ahead 38 to
"a. The last quarter was tied five
times before Fairfield went
ahead to stay 45.43 with less than
minute to go. Browning, at
tempting to get the ball, fouled
and Young added two free throws
to give the Eagles 47-44 win.

Judge Blacks decision to app
point LaBreche came as a sur
prise to most Glacier county resi-
dents since it ignored the recon-
mendations made by the central
committees of both the Republic
can and Democrat parties.
The county Republican central
committee recommended Fred
Stone, Browning rancher and ex-
deputy sheriff, for Blacks con-
sideration after Store beat out
LaBreche in committee voting
at a meeting at the Monteath Ho-
tel in East Glacier a week ago
Tuesday.
The county Democrat central
committee recommended Dick
Taught, Browning businessman,
70 Judge Black.
LaBreche's appointment now
fills out the three-man board of
Glacier County Commissioners.
Others are chairman Bill Meal
pine OF Cut Bank and Frank
Krshka OF East Glacier Park.
New commissioner LaBreche
must now get his bond and take
oath of office. presumably to be
able TO meet officially with the
Board at its February 8 session.
Like his predecessor, Hanne-
man, LaBreche is the lone Re
publican on the board.
