Chairman Russell of the
Senate Armed Services Com

reported to believe that the
United States will have to &c
into Cuba and dismantle the
Soviet missile bases if they

The United States was be-
lieved to be speeding standby
preparations for knocking out
Soviet missile bases in Cuba by
bombing or invasion.
Indications were that events
of the next few days would de-
Itermine whether plans for such
drastic action will have to be
put into effect.
High Government officials
refused to discuss mounting in
dications that American armed
forces were being prepared for
a possible invasion to halt the
transformation of Communist
Cuba into a strategic Soviet
military base capable of raining
nuclear destruction on the
United States and its Latin
American allies.
But informed Government
sources pointed out that the
possibility of action beyond the
arms blockade that went into
effect at 10 am. today could
be read into President Ken

disclosing the Soviet military
buildup in Cuba.

A tight security blackout on

places, increased speculation
about invasion plans being
readied.
Assistant Secretary of Defense

ment on the possibility of a
invasion, pointed out, however,
that the Joint Chiefs of Staff

operation any place there may

and declared this is bound to
cast doubt on any statements
issued by the Russians.
He said the stationing of
Soviet missiles in Cuba affects
the whole security of the West
ern Hemisphere and cannot be
tolerated.
Immediate Action
"It is now for the Council to
take immediate and urgent
steps to deal with the Situa-
tion," Sir Patrick declared.
1.-The only way now to restore
confidence in the Western
Hemisphere is for these mis-
Siles to be dismantled and with
drawn. Only then can we be-
lieve the honesty of the
announcements made by the
Soviet and Cuban leaders that
they have no aggressive inten-
tionS."
He told the Council that
Britain believes the United
States acted properly in bring
ing the situation to the United
Nations. He stated further that
he would vote for the United
States resolution calling for the
withdrawal of offensive weap-
ons from Cuba.
Convinced that the council
would wind up in a deadlock
over opposing United States
and Soviet resolutions, the
small powers delegated Ghana,
the United Arab Republic and
Cyprus to ask Mr.. Thant to
intervene.
Many of the small nations
wanted to call directly on

was decided instead to address

AT 4 Points,
India Reports
New Delhi Rejects
Peiping Summit
Coll as Hypocrisy

NEW DELHI, Oct. "a (AP).
Chinese Communists are adj
vancing into Northeast India
at four points, and India has
rejected Peiping's proposal for
peace talks on Chinese terms
as pure hypocrisy" an official
spokesman said today.
Chinese troops have driven
to within 10 or IL miles to the
west of the important mon
astery town of Towang, in
Northeast India, and are push
ing toward it from the north.
A fresh Chinese attack into
India has been launched at
Asfila, on the northeast frontier
about 100 miles east of Towang.
At the eastern end of
the northeastern border, near
Burma, an Indian post has
fallen and the Chinese are
driving down the Luhit River
valley.
Not very cheerful" COM
mented the military spokesman.
Attack in Northwest
At the northwest end of the
disputed Himalayan frontier, in
Ladakh, the Chinese have at
tackled for the first time in
Changchenmo River valley and
have captured a post.
Although the spokesman de-
clined to comment on the over
all Ladakh situation, it APP
peared to observers that the
Chinese might have overrun
all Indian military posts on
what the Chinese claim to be
their territory.
High Indian officials said q
Red Chinese proposal for a
meeting between Prime Min
lister Nehru and Premier Chou
En-lai to settle the border dis
pute was "pure hypocrisy"
Officials also turned down the
Chinese proposal for a cease
fire under which each nation
would withdraw its troops 20
kilometers (12.5) miles from
the present battle positions.
4O-KiIOmeter Advance
In doing so a Foreign Min
istry spokesman indicated the
Chinese may have advanced as
much as 40 to so kilometers
(25 to 371a miles)> in some
areas.
Advancing 40 or so kilo-
meters by blatant military ag-
erosion, and offering to with
draw 20 kilometers provided
both sides do this, is a decep-
tive device which can fool no
body" the spokesman said.
The spokesman said India
will be prepared to talk with
the Chinese if they withdraw to
positions before September 8
when the Chinese began pene-
tration of Northeast India. The
intrusion then was just east OF
Bhutan. India says it eruptec
on October 20 into the present
large-scale offensive.
Observers expected this po-
sition would be as unacceptable
to Peiping as the Chinese pro-
poSal is to India.
Pressure on China Seen

Chinese proposal was made I'm
