Nehru Fears Chinese
Border Reinforcements

the time of the unprovoked
massive attacks in october,

MIR. Nehru said Chinese
ground and air incursions into
India have Increased consider
ably particularly during the
last few months"
Defense Minister Y. B. Cha
van told Parliament there had
been IL Chinese air incursions
over India this year. All were
protested, and the Chinese have
answered about nine with de-
malls, he said.
Mr.. Chavan also listed nine
Chinese ground incurSions up
to June %, with no casualties
involved. But Mr.. Nehru's
statement of a considerable in
crease in incursions recently
indicated more than those
listed by Mr.. Chavan or COW
cred in diplomatic notes made
public.
Mr.. Nehru said the Chinese
had violated their declaration
on border positions, made when
the Chinese voluntarily halted
the border war last November
81.
He explained that the Chi
nese llad said they would set
up Is civilian posts on the
Northeast Frontier of India.
There are today as many as
So combined military and civil
posts and even the pretense of
the posts being civilian in
character has been given up"
he said. There is, apart from
these posts, considerable pa
trolling and probing activity
along the borders, particularly
/ in the eastern sector.
1T may be that, consistent
with their past practice, this
might be a move to justify their
renewed aggression agains t
India on the speciouS ground
of communicating in self

ing that India must intensity

Ex-Premier of Korea
Is Charged With Rape
SEOUL, Korea, Aug. 16 (AP)

SEOUL, Korea, Aug. 16 (AP) i.
--Strongman Gen. Chung Hee
Parks secret police placed two
new charges-rape and unlawful
execution-against former Pre-
mier Song (Tiger) Yo-chan
today.
Song, who has been under
arrest since Sunday, immedi-
ately denied them and claimed
the new charges were a frame
up. He said his arrest was
retaliation for an open letter
he published in a Seoul news
paper attacking Gen. Park.
Premier Kim Hyun-chul,
meanwhile, said Gen. Park will
run for the presidency in next
October's election for a civilian
government and probably would
resign from the army about
August 80.
Picks Park to Win
He predicted Gen. Park, head
of the ruling military junta,
would get about IS per cent of
the vote.
Song, the Korean war hero,
was arrested on charges of
ordering summary execution of
a subordinate officer without
due cause in 1850 and ordering
shooting upon demonstrators
during the 1860 anti-Syngman
Rhee uprising.

Gunboots With Bibles

MIAMI, Fla, Aug. Is (AP)
--"Our only arms were Bibles"
said Julio Fernandez, one Of 10
fugitives from Cuba who es-
capped kidnapping by Fidel Cas-
tro's men on the British island
of Anguilla Key.
I'VE carried no guns. They
came firing from two gun
boats" the thin 27-year-old
Havana construction worker
said.
About is heavily armed
militamen disembarked and
came at us cursing and using
foul language" he said. "They
said they would shoot us on
the spot if we didn't surrender. "
Among 10 who gave up and
we're taken back to Cuba, Mr..
Fernandez said, were four
women, including his wife.
Their two small children went
with her.
Trained Guns
q. S. fighter jets and a
Coast Guard seaplane circled
the tiny, uninhabited island
helpleSSly and watched the
strafing and kidnapping, accord

Presbyterian Church. All 20 of
the refugees are Presbyterians,
Mr.. Fernandez said.

an hour, a United States light

Another escapee, Domingo
Gonzalez, Havana butcher, said

shouting, Hands up

Other refugees said they hid
behind rocks. Some had torn
shirts. Several were barefoot
and displayed sore feet.
The refugees said their group
included no revolutionarieS,
"only humble God-fearing
people"
In Washington, Richard
Phillips, State Department press

NEW DELHI, Aug. 16 (AP)
The Chinese Communists are
making offensive probes along
the Indian border and building
up strength in Tibet but their

"They might even be contem-

Town Houses

On in Mclean

A drive to keep apartments
out of the Mclean Va) mas
ter plan was successful yester-
day when Fairfax County su-
pervisors, planners and area
citizens agreed on a compro-
mise of town houses.
The supervisors. on a 40
vote, approved a plan which
proposes q land use Of town
houses on % acres north Of
Old Dominion drive. Planners
originally suggested apart
ments for this acreage which
touched off q community con-
troversy.
Included in the plan Is an
additional five-acre triangle on
the west side Of Mclean with
suggested land uses Of either
low office buildings or town
houses.
In a poll conducted separate
ly in IL precincts during the
November 5 general election, l.
6S9 voters rejected the idea OF
apartments in McLean's busi-
ness center as opposed to 1872
who favored it.
Under the adopted plan, all
buildings will be restricted to a
height of As feet or four stories
and there will be no CONNER
cial expansion beyond Dolley
Madison boulevard.
Dranesville District Supervi-
sor Claiborne Leigh expressed
reservations that future de-
mands for apartments in Nc
Lean will force another look at
the plan.
He reiterated his stand that
he had voted for the controver-
sial Merrywood high rise apart

be an escape valve" to take

against putting teeth" in
U. N. peace-keeping efforts.
Secretary General U Thant
disclosed yesterday that within
a few days" he plans to begin
sending a 200-man army to
patrol q 6,000-square-mile no.
man's-land between Yemen and
neighboring Saudi Arabia.
BY so doing, u Thant hopes
to facilitate the disbursement
of Saudi Arabian forces from
troops sent Yeman by President
Canal Abdel Nasser Of the
United Arab Republic. Mr..
NaSser has promised to with
draw his %, ,000-man army as
soon as Saudi Arabian support
of rebellious Yemeni royallsts
is successfully inhibited by the
U. N.
To Bolster Regime
The net practical effect of
the operation is expected to be
consolidation and strengthen
ing Of the pro-Nasser Repub-
lican government Of Yemen,
which won power in a coup
last September.
Within the U. N. itself. the
effect Of the Yemen action is
expected to be almost as signif-
icant. 1t will constitute an
important precedent because it
was undertaken by the secre-
tary general on his own au-
thority, without instructions
from the Security Council or
General Assembly.
This is the first time the So
Wet veto has been bypassed so
dramatically by the secretary
general. In 1858. the late Dag
Hammarskjold sent a tiny
technical assistance mission to
Laos on his own authority,
hoping for political byproducts|
which did not materialize.
The Yemen army is in an
entirely different category, OBJ
servers agree.
Cost Agreed On
u Thant Is able to make the
move because Saudi Arabia and
the UAR have agreed in prin-
ciple to pay most, if not all,
of the cost of the four-month
operation, estimated at less
than 81 million. If other fl
nancing we're required, obServ-
ers agree U Thant would have
had to go through either the
Council or the Assembly.
Soviet delegates have pro-
tested the Yemen move pri-
vately, infor1nants say. U Thant
acted courageously. the feel.
in going ahead over Soviet
objections.
Whether Moscow now will
demand a Security Council
meeting and carry the fight
into The open is not clear. To
do so would be to publicize
opposition to an action which
is popular in the United Arab
Republic. and hence to offend
Col. NaSser.
