NEW DELHI, Dec. II (AP)
Indians awaited today Red
China's reaction to Prim e
Minister Nehru's rejection of
Peking's terms for settling
their Himalayan border con-
flict. Observers here thought
renewal Of the fighting was a
strong possibility.
In a broadcast today the
Chinese said they suspected In
dia of deliberately sabotag-
ing" Peking's one-sided cease
fire land creating a tense stu
alton on the border" The
broadcast charged that Indian
military planes flew reconnais-
sance missions yesterday over
captive Tibet and other Chi
nese-held territory on the east
ern end Of the disputed border
Mr.. Nehru told Indian sold
iers in q broadcast last night
the war might be long and hard
but India would emerge victor
ious by freeing its territoy OF
Chinese invaders.
Welcomed Cease-Fire
He said India had welcomed
the Chinese proclamation Of q
cease-fire November % after
80 days of warfare.
But the Chinese should with
draw completely from In dia
Mr.. Nehru said, instead OF
making proposals that would
leave them in the Ladakh area
Of northwestern India.
1T appeared these proposals
might be a cover for further
attacks" Mr.. Nehru said
Therefore we have to be fully
prepared"
Mr.. Nehru declared earlier in
Parliament: "At present there
is no meeting ground between
U.S."
He said the picture is I'M
clear "but considerable Chinese
forces are apparently still in
some forward positions" of the
Northeast Frontier, where
their big fall offensive carried
them close to midas populous
and fertile Assam plains.
In Ladakh, the Chinese re-
manned poised close to the
Himalayas. Renewed Chinese
attacks in these directions are
still considered possible, al
though the battered Indian
army is now in a little better
position to resist them.

British Troops
Close Around
Brunei Rebels

ANDUKI AIRPORT, Brunei
Dec. IL (AP) British troops
recaptured most of the Brunei
oilfield town Of Seria today
then closed in on the police
station where so diehard rebels
were holding nine Europeans as
hostages.
Full victory still eluded the
troops tonight.
Unconfirmed reports said
heavy fighting, the most in
tense of the campaign, ragged
in one sector of Seria. It was
not determined at this behind
the lines post whether the &C
ton developed at tl.s police
station or elsewhere.
The nationality Of the hos
tages was not knows, but Brig
A. q. Patterson, British COM
mander of the Seria operation
said that no women or chill
dren were among them.
British, Gurkha and Other
troops built up forces around
the police station in hopes thai
a show Of strength would cause
the rebels to give in.
No rebel threats against the
hostages were reported, but
there we're fears for their safely
should the attackers try tc
rush the police station.
Europeans Liberated
Army officers said a number
of Europeans, mostly British
employees of the Shell Oil Co.
were liberated in Seria, and al
least six rebels were killed and
more than a dozen captured.
No British casualties were re-
ported.
1t was the first major coun-
terattack since the revolt broke
out last Saturday. The rebels
say they want to create an in
dependent country on the north
coast Of Borneo out Of the
Brunei sultanate and the
neighboring British colonies of
North Borneo and Sarawak.
There were no reports of
damage to the oil fields at
Seria, which the rebels had
threatened to sabotage If they
we're attacked. The fields pro-
duce most of Brunei's 80 mil
lion barrels of oil a year.
Kuala Belait, another oil
field Z miles to the west, was
still believed to be in rebel
hands. Shells administrative
center is there. A flight over
the area showed no damage,
and smoke curled peacefully
from one industrial plant.
Total Of 40 Killed
The total killed in the four
day rebellion is believed to be
more than 40. including rs
rebels.
The British assault on Seria
began early yesterday when
Gurknas and the Queens Own
Highlanders were airlifted ST.
multaneously to Anduki Air
port, on the eastern outskirts,
and to a swampy field west
Of the town.
Two Of the rebel dead were
casualties in skirmishine
around the airport, and one Of
the four-engine Beverly trans
ports used in the airlift was
hit by rifle fire. Three ar
mored cars were flown in with
the troops.
Four rebels were killed in the

years for them to comply fully

District Lists Increase
In Student Preqnoncies

The number of girls under
16 who left District schools for
pregnancy rose in the 1960-61
school year after a drop the
year before.
A report to a School Board
committee shows 245 pregnant
girls under Is left school in the
l960-6l year. Earlier reports
showed 236 left school in 1852
so and 239 in 1958-59.
The new report also shows
about 600 children between 10
and 18 years of age were treated
for venereal diseases in 1960-61,
according to District Public
Health Department officials.
S22 Gases Listed
Vital statistics in the report
showed that illegittmate births
to girls under 18 numbered
822 during the year. However,
school officials noted that the
total of pregnant girls excused
reflected not only public but
private schools and that in
both this category and that
of disease there were probably
many unreported cases.
District schools give courses
in what is called the personal
and family living curriculum
from elementary school through
high school.
School officials, according to
the report. were encouraged by
reports from the field on the
courses, conducted since 1858.
The medical report also said
that the reduction in dental
defects continued after eight
years of fluoridation of the

FARMVILLE. Va, June Is
(AP) Prince Edward County
apparently intends to stick to
its policy of no public schools
for another year rather than
deSegregate under a Federal
court order.
The board of supervisors of
the county met here yesterday
and voted unanimously for an
operating budget that con-
tanned no funds for public
schools.
The supervisors included in
the new budget $360,000 for
tuition grants for use at pri-
vate schools Or public schools
outside the county. However,
a Federal court has banned
expenditure Of such funds as
long as Prince Edwards public
schools remain closed.
The schools have been shut
since 1859, when the county
cut off operating funds to
block court-ordered indignation.
Since then private schools
have been available to the
county'S white children but
most Negro youngsters have
been without formal schooling.

the county's foreign language
program. A course in Russian
was begun at Annandale High
School.
Planetariums Under Way
An exciting prospect in the
field of new facilities, three
planetariums are being built at
the new Woodson, Edison and
Marshall High Schools.
The county's industrial arts
program has been undergoing
a revamping. including train
ing of teachers, changing
courses and revising the ap-
proach to teaching. Courses in
electronics and industrial re-
search are being added. A unit
approach to industrial arts is
being developed, and students
not only will work manually or
projects, but study them
academically.

this department, teachers are
looking into the problems in
volved in applying the sciences
to industry.
Gains for Handicapped
intermediate school classes
provided another level for men,
tally handicapped pupils who
began their special education
in elementary school. The
main goal at the intermediate
level is to emphasize occupa-

ence of the students.
To the existing special edu-
cation classes at Luther Jack
son, Bryant and Whittier
Schools were added new ones
at Lanier, Herndon and Twain
Schools. They will be in all
the intermediate schools next
year.
Fairfax's summer school pro-

new kindergarten offering for
children who will be 6 by o.

In addition, Mr.. Funderburk
is looking toward the day when

cry and Prince Georges, can
take its educational program
farther along, via a community
college.

child's verdict.
Mr.. Funderburk has nothing
against children, even in large
numbers. But keeping up with
the county's too much kids
for existing school space has
been a major task of his initial
service.
During this school year, con-
tracts we're let for four rev
high schools, to increase high
school student capacity 60 per
cent at a cost of some $1l mil
lion. An intermediate and ar

to two high schools and site

million mark.
