U. S. Victory Hailed
In Western Europe

LONDON, Oct. 90 (AP). =
Western Europe hailed Russia's
retreat in the Cuban crisis as
a stunning victory for the
United States and greeted it
universally with profound re-
lief today.
The dramatic turn of events
was seen as opening up posi-
bilities for new East-West ne
gotiations on the whole ques-
ton of disarmament.
President Kennedy emerged
in the West as the undiSputed
hero of the crisis. But Soviet
Premier Khrushchev also came
in for some praise.
Such banner headlines as
Back from the Brink" RE
treat from Danger" and End
of a Nightmare" reflected Eu-
ropes mood of deep thankful
ness at having escaped the hor-
rors of Nuclear war.

sites. A few hours e Garlic n

An extremely stern private
letter from President Kennedy
to Soviet Premier Khrushchev
last Thursday appears to have
been the catalyst which con-
WINGED the Kremlin to get its
nuclear rockets out of Cuba.
Premier Khrushchev replied
to the october Is message from
the White House in about "a
hours with the proposal for a
settlement, which Mr.. Kennedy
accepted Saturday night.
The Presidents more cordial
letter of Saturday was made
public Immediately, in contrast
to the secret handling of the
Thursday message, which was
delivered by messenger to the
Soviet embassy here.
Despite the conciliatory tone
of the Presidents acceptance
letter on Saturday, two phrases
we're intended to impress on
Premier Khrushchev the ur-
gency Of stopping the rocket
buildup at once. Americans in

This word must have reached
Moscow very late Saturday
night or early Sunday morning,
leaving little of the week end
remaining for the Soviet PreSi-
dunn to maneuver.
At another point in the let
ter, Mr.. Kennedy told the So

announce them to the world
within a couple of days"
Administration officials re-
fused to discuss the stern Oc-
tober Is Kennedy letter. 1t is
understood to have demanded
privately what the President
was asking publicly, but to have
done it in an extremely grave
tone which was not wasted on
the Soviet leadership.
1t was evident here today
that all administration leaders
we're trying to avoid leaving the
impression with Mr.. Khru-
shchev that they are gloating
over their success in persuading
the Soviet Union to remove its
nuclear rockets from Cuba.

At the time of the stern let

ouildup in the Caribbean area
was proceeding in full view of

Around the world. the Stra-

the President might give. This

Terms on Cuba Before Trip

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Oct. 90 (AP).-Acting United
Nations Secretary General U
Thant conferred with a special
envoy of Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev today and made hurried
plans for a peace mission to
Cuba. Mr.. Thant is trying
to nail down a United
StateS-Soviet deal to end the
missile base crisis.
Continuing his talks on the
Cuban problem, Mr.. Thant had
a private session this morning
with Soviet First Deputy For
eign Minister Vastly v. Kuz-
netsov, who arrived yesterday
from Moscow.
Separate meetings we're Sched-
uled also with United States
Adlai E. Stevenson
and Cuban Ambassador Mario
Garcia InchauStegui.
The secretary general and a
dozen aides will fly to Havana
tomorrow to begin arrange
ments for U. N. supervision of
the withdrawal of Soviet
missiles which Premier Khru-
shchev and President Kennedy
agreed to in an exchange of
letters yesterday. Mr.. Thant
goes to Cuba at Prime Minister
Fidel Castro's invitation.
Mr.. Castro last Tuesday re-
jected the idea of U. N. OBJ

position on the missile bases
also reversed Mr.. Castro's oppo-

Ships Continue
Cuba Blockade
Pentogon Is Silent
On Missile Sites

American quarantine ships
will remain on station pending
arrangements by the United
Nations for effective inspec-
ton" the Pentagon announced
today.
Assistant Secretary of De-
Tense Arthur Sylvester gave re-
porters at noon only the
statement that the blockade
continues and that aerial sur
veillance of Cuba presumably
is continuing.
He would not say whether
surveillance indicates that con-
struction of missile sites has
stopped or whether they are
in fact being dismantled.
Asked specifically about over
flights, Mr.. Sylvester said only,
"I presume they are con-
tinuing."
Details Up to U. N.
The details of inspection are
up to the United Nations, he
pointed out. Deputy Secretary
of Defense Roswell Gilpatric,
Under Secretary of State George
Ball and John j. McCloy went
to New York today to work out
an inspection program. Asked if
the civilians would have mill
tary advice, Mr.. Sylvester said
that it was clear that the civil
ians have been getting sound
military advice throughout the
course of the quarantine action.
There are no plans at this
time, he said, to release the
$4,000 Air Force reservistS
called to active duty Saturday
night. Nor are there plans to
call more reServiStS.

blockade, no Russian ships

At $500 Men

NEW DELHI, India, Oct. %
(AP).-India turned to the
United States today for weap-
onS to fight the Communist
Chinese and was assured they
would be sent soon.
Prime Minister Nehru asked
United States Ambassador John
Kenneth Galbraith for the
weapons and an American En-
bassy spokesman said Mr.. Gal
braith indicated they are COM
ing.
Almost simultaneously an In
dian spokesman announced the
loss of Demchok, the farthest
thrust the Chinese have made
southwark at the western end
OF the fighting front.
The spokesman estimated be-
tween 1000 and $500 Indian
soldiers are dead or missing
since the Chinese launched
their offensive October 20 and
added the Chinese are believed
to have suffered much heavier
casualties.
Reinforeements Rushed
Reinforcements were being
rushed to Sc Pass to try to head
off at least one 10,000-man
Chinese division moving from
the key northeast border town
! of Towang, lost last week.
Despite setbacks, such as the
loss of Demchok, India refused
offers of mediation of the un-
declared war with China.
A Foreign Ministry Spokes-
man said mo Self-respecting

dia, with her love of freedom,

sion. whatever may be the con-
sequences, nor can India allow
China's occupation of Indian
territory to be used as a bar

ences regarding the boundary

American infantry weapons
for the Indian defenders in the
Himalayas may begin arriving
by air by the end of this week,
1t was understood.
Terms Left Open
The terms on which the
weapons will be supplied were
left open, a United States En-
bassy spokesman said. In the
past India has insisted on pay
ing for weapons but now there
is no cash and a desperate need
for arms.
A small shipment of British
weapons has already arrived
and France and Canada have
also been asked to supply arms.
But the feeling here is that
only the United States can pro-
vide the amount of weapons
needed.
Mr.. Galbraith delivered to
Mr.. Nehru a letter from Pres
ident Kennedy expressing SYM
pathy for India in its present
emergency and something
more tangible" the spokesman
said. In response Mr.. Nehru
made the first direct request
for American arms.

Havana Relations
Seen Returning
To Tense State
BY GEORGE SHERMAN
Star Staff Writer

Sba1 0toAA "AAbSA
The Soviet offensive missile
Eases in Cuba are to go, but
the problem of Fidel Castro re-
mains.
That, in the nutshell, is what
United States officials and
Latin American diplomats feel
is the main result of develop
mentS in the Cuban crisis.
Authoritative sources warned
today against any feeling that
the agreement with the Soviet
Union will lead to peaceful CO.
existence" with Fidel Castro'S
Cuba.
They said that relations with
the Cuban dictator have simply
returned to their tense state be-
fore revelations of the Soviet
offensive build-up on the island
and before President Ken
nedy's guarantee yesterday of
no United States invasion once
the build-up stopped.
Many Changes Seen
But they also admitted that
the past week of electric crisis
has wrought profound changes
in Mr.. Castro's position both, al
home and abroad.
Once the first phase of ac-
tually dismantling and remov-
ing the Soviet weapons is COM
pleted, they said that the
hemisphere and Cubans can get
on with the more limited
phase of actually getting rid of
the Castro regime.
But the great fear here is
that the first phase will be
misinterpreted both in Cuba
and in the hemisphere as the
beginning of United States ac-
ceptance of the Castro govern
ment.
For that reason, officials
anxiously pointed out that the
United States Government is
maintaining its own trade en-
barge, its pressure to extend
that to the whole Western
world, and its vigilance against
Cuban subversion and expor-
tation of revolution to the rest
of the hemisphere.
Briefing by RuSk
At a 45-minute briefing in
the State Department yester-
day afternoon, Secretary of
State Rusk told the 19 Latin
American Ambassadors about
the maze of exchanges with
Mr.. Khrushchev. He is re-
ported also to have advised
them not to exaggerate the ex-
tent of the United States
guarantee against invading
Cuba.
The message has been lost.
at least initially, on the Cuban
exile colony. Their leaders are
frankly furious with President
Kennedy for calling off the
attack they had ex-
pected within hours.
THE United States has pur-
chased peace at the price of
betraying the Cuban people.
