he will be housed, fed and clothed.
Yang Ii eats two meals day,
breakfast after he arises at 5
am. and a second meal around
4 pm. His ration is about twice
what he was used to at home,
since the army gives him steamed
white bread, or rice with two
vegetables. Meat is served every
second or third day, when he
gets about is ounces.
If he is stationed in a rural
area, he may occasionally mix
with civilians. If he is in a city,
he will have nothing to do with
them at all. Marriage is, for en-
listed men, out Of the question.
In his enlistment, he will get
home on leave perhaps once.
For the officers, life is a little
better. Their political status gives
them separate messes from those
of the enlisted men, better living
quarters, and passes and leaves.
Mony Long Marches
Yang's training is fairly hap
hazard in comparison to other
armies. The emphasis is on en-
durance, stamina, and speed, with
long marches being a major part
of the training. Little weapons
training is given, beyond the
necessary knowledge of how to
fire and maintain the diverse
arms employed. Rifles are often
leftover models from World War
or Korea captured American,
Japanese or British models. The
number of modern Russian or
Czech seniautomatic and auto
matte weapons are in the minority.
Two or three hours a day are
set aside for political indoctrina-
ton, either in the form of lectures
by political officers or in ses-
sion of self-criticism. Heavy
emphasis is placed on political
discipline, and soldiers must re-
peat exactly what they have been
told in earlier sessions. Mistakes
are followed by severe reprimands.
On the military side, discipline
-unquestioned obedience to orders

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-The
Sino-Soviet world plainly is be-
ing wracked by a series of Solo
monte choices and decisions.
Because Moscow and Peiping
are pulling in opposite directions
on most, if not all, of these de-
cisions, and because the decisions
are of supreme Importance and
urgency, a definitive Soviet-Chi-
nese break is considered entirely
possible.
No other single event in the
diplomatic realm could so deci-
sively tip the world balance of
power in the direction of the free
world as final Moscow-Peiping
break.
The decisions the Communist
world must make all derive, di-
rectly or indirectly. from one
question:
Shall the Soviet Union now
seek bridge to the West over
which, in time to come perhaps,
indeed. in the relatively near flu
ture Moscow could join forces
with the West against a rampag-
ing China?
The Alternative
The alternative, of course,
would be for Russia to join with
Red China-backing Fidel Castro
to the hilt, humiliating and per-
haps helping conquer India,
sweeping down through Southeast
Asia and across to Formosa, and
Selling West Berlin, risking or
even inviting world atomic war
Moscow has long sought to
straddle these alternatives. 1t has
blown hot and cold on negotia-
tons with the West. 1t has been
first aggressive, then restrained
on the Congo, Cuba, Berlin and
many another issue. 1t has tried
to retain its "fraternal" ties to
Peiping while disagreeing publicly
with many of Peiping's policies.
The Time for Action
Now the day Of decision is near.
For example:
On India. Prime Minister Nehru
has said he expects" the Soviet
Union to fulfill it's commitment
to sell India MIG fighters and
facilities with which to build

Still Counting

In some other States the results
in gubernatorial races as we'll as
some others were so close that
the counters were still at work
at it, 10 days after the balloting.
In Massachusetts, mocrat
Endicott Peabody defeated Re-
publican Gov. John A. Volpe by
about 1000 votes. Mr.. Volpe has
collected the necessary signatures

Seen in Decisions Due This Week

them. Soviet Premier Khrushchev
has not challenged the expecta-
ton.
This would be perhaps the
greatest single affront Moscow
could deal Peiping. India's ability
to tempt Moscow to break with
China in such a dramatic way is
an immense asset to the West.
WesternerS should be low to
complain of Mr.. Nehru's contin-
ued dealings with Moscow.
On Cuba. There is under way
at the UN. a free wheeling ne
collation. whose objective is to re-
define Fidel Castro's relations
with the Western Hemisphere.
Moscow's influence thus far has
been in the direction of a nego-
tiated settlement; Peiping land
resumably Castro have
screa d "appeasement." The
choice is constantly having to be
made.
President Kennedy last week
decided to give negotiation a seri-
Gus try. He could have decided,
instead, to revive the atmosphere
of crisis, clamping an oil embar-
go on Cuba and making a major
issue of Mr.. Castro's 30-odd IL-28
bombers. That action may come,
but it could reunite Moscow, Ha-
vana, and Peiping. So for the mo-
ment, at least, Mr.. Kennedy is
helping preserve the opportunity
and the occasion for division
among them.
On disarmament. Over all
American superiority in strategic
striking power was clearly dem
onstrated by Mr.. Khrushchev's
behavior in the Cuba crisis. His
original missiles to Cuba ploy
was, indeed, an effort to cut down
that superiority.
Proposal Pending
Russia can now plunge into a
crash rearmament program, &C
cept a permanent imbalance, or
seek to increase its security
through a negotiated arms-con-
troll agreement. On the assump-
ton that permanent imbalance is
unacceptable, Moscow must
choose between severe auSterity
and East-West detente.
There is pending at the U.N.
a new Soviet proposal for the
elimination of some, not all, nu-

man said.
In Maine, Democrat Maynard
c. Dolloff, who lost to Republic
can Gov. John H. Reed by 621
votes, has asked for recount;
the new tally is not expected
until December IA.
The verdict in the Rhode Is
land race between Democratic
Gov. John H. Notte, jr., and Re-
publican John H. Chaffee await
ed counting of the absentee bal
lots. Mr.. Chaffee leads by 10l
votes. An official count is not ex-
pected until the last of the month.

gubernatorial ballots-brought to

storm was almost complete. 1t.

led the incumbent Republican,
Elmer L. Andersen by SO votes.
A lone Senate seat was still I'M
decided. Senator Joe Bottum, Re-
publican of South Dakota, trailed
George McGovern, former food
for peace administrator, by 223
votes with official returns in
from half the States counties.
The administrations position
in the Senate has been strength
ened. In the last Congress, the
Democrats held a "a to SO mar
gin; in the next Congress, they
will enjoy SO to 80 advantage.
Three Senators-elect arrived in
Washington last week and the
two Democratic arrivals, Birch E.
Bayh of Indiana and Thomas j.

During the day, which begins
at 5 am. and ends around $50
or 8 pm, there is no time for
recreation. The only break in
routine comes during the two or
three months of the year when
Yang and his comrades are sent
to work in the fields or factories.
Noncommissioned officers and in
structors are generally veterans of
the Civil War and the Korean
War. When they are at a loss
as to what to teach next, a long
march is ordered
Yang has two uniforms, both
cotton, for winter and summer. He
is expected to wear them out be-
fore he is issued with new ones,
and the soldier whose uniform
is not covered with patches is
ignored if he requests a new one.
His footgear consists of tennis
shoes which wear out quickly on
long marches, but heavy leather
boots are in short supply.
He and his comrades are
largely given to apathy over their
lot, but they grumble little. Their
major worries often are centered
around their families at home,
especially if they are farmers,
since men to work the fields and
stave off the ever-threatening
famines are badly needed. This
low degree of morale means that
they must often be driven, rather
than led, in combat, although the
iron-handed discipline of the
armed forces means that officers
only have to give an order to
have it obeyed.
Supplies Are Low

NEW DELHT.-A political mu-
tiny within the ruling Congress
Party, the first of its kind since
Indian independence in l947, and
strong public pressure forced
Prime Minister Nehru to drop
Krishna Menon from his Cabinet.
Both illustrate of the country's
new mood in meeting the Com
munist Chinese aggression along
the northern borders.
After Peking's offensive of Octo-
Der 20, Mr.. Menon's opponents
drew up formidable list of his
sins, ranging from his mishan-
ding of defense preparedness to
his subscription to a doubtful
theology. Mass meetings were held
in all important cities demanding
his exit. The usual slogan heard
everywhere was: do you want
Menon or cannon?" The aroused
masses always responded with
full-throated chorus: Cannon"
Even when 81 of the 80 men,
bers of the Congress Parlia-
mentary Party Executive sub
mttted a written demand to Mr..
Nehru to eXpel the former De-
tense Minister, Mr.. Nehru was I'M
impressed. Mr.. Menon was named
a member of the 30-man National
Defense Council the following
morning.
Homper War Effort
At this juncture nearly IS of
the Union Cabinet Ministers put
their foot down. In unambiguous
words, they told the Prime Min
ister that Mr.. Menon's continued
presence in the Cabinet would
hamper the war efforts. According
to one report, Mr.. Nehru's daugh-
ter, Mrs. Indra Gandhi, exerted
a considerable influence on her
father.
Later, the entire party met with

porters cheered time and again
but the overwhelming majority of
members listened in silence and
with growing restiveness. When
Mr.. Nehru announced his inten-
ton to accept Mr.. Menon's resig-
nation, there was a resounding
salvo of cheering. One senior
said it was lin retalia-
ton of the cheering by the small
minority to jeer the vast ma
jority.'

uncertain. He might retain his

such luck" Instead, the budget
will splash into the red by $7.8
billion in the current 1868 fiscal
year ending next June 80. Budget
men blamed it on the economy's
failure to reach original targets,
plus new tax concessions to bust
ness.
If their prediction is accurate,
it will be the second highest def
cit in peacetime, exceeded only by
the $12.4 billion incurred in fiscal

speculation.

TOKYO. - Yang Ii, 18 years
old, is an enlisted soldier in the
Chinese Peoples Liberation Army.
He is tough, loyal, mobile and
resilient. He is accustomed to
hardship and to living off the
land, no matter how sparse and
unfriendly. He accepts death as a
soldiers pay and knows that if
he is wounded, little provision has
been made by his superiors to
take care of him.
This is the enemy which the
Indian troops are fighting in the
Himalayas according to informa-
ton pieced together here from
United States, British and Ko-
rean sources, as we'll as from re-
ports from Mainland China. 1t
adds up to a formidable fight
ing man, but one who lacks a
high degree of combat initiative,
is often low in morale, and poor
ly trained in the use of his weap-
onS.
Chinese officers are often little
acquainted with tactics, depend
ing instead on Furnishing rushes
of troops and infiltration of pre-
viously prepared enemy positions.
They are selected for their COM
missions not because of military
proficiency or qualities of leader
ship, but rather for their degree
of political reliability and politi-
cal training.

AS for Yang Ii, he was chosen
for the army after careful inves-
tigation of background and his
pro-government leanings. He is
probably village youth, and to
him the army provides security
His pay is next to nothing, and

years for the Army, four for the

Encouragement

Government predictions aside,
there were some other encourage
ing signs. Nonfarm jobs topped
Sc million last month, a record
high. An October survey by the
Federal Reserve Board found con-
sumerS had strong intentions to
buy new cars and appliances. The
FRB sample found Al per cent
would buy a new car within six
months, VS.. 81 per cent a year
ago. Auto sales last month hit a
scorching pace. There were 728,-
700 deliveries, the biggest month
in history, and industry analysts
upped their estimates for 1862
sales from 6.8 million to SO mil
lion or better. Early November
sales continued at record levels.
Retail sales also achieved a rec
ord peak for any month. The
Commerce Department estimated
seasonally adjusted sales totaled
nearly $20.l billion in October, up
8 per cent from year earlier.
AS one Chrysler executive put it.

country feel that this greatly
heralded dip isn't going to come"

Past Deficits

There have also been deficits in
the last two years of $50 billion
in fiscal 1861 and $6.3 billion in
fiscal 1862.

Chairman Walter w. Heller of the
