That highly-publicized but ques-
tionable split between Moscow
and Peiping hasn't stopped So
Wet Premier Khrushchev from
sending a thousand ground to-air
missiles to Communist China.
This secret Russian help in
building up Red China S all de-
lenses was uncovered by u. S.
reconnaissance satellites an d
surveillance planes flying over
strategic areas of China in re-
cent missions.

spotted anywhere from 40 to so
missiles and their telltale
launchers.
This alarming missile discov-
cry was the direct result of a
systematic surveillance program
launched last September by the
Air Force after a Formosa -bas-
ed U-2 plane was shot down by
the Chinese Communists while
flying over the mainland.
| This unexpected show Of pow
er by the Chinese Communists
which brought to an end the hit
and miss U-2 surveillance flights
over the mainland, convinced
U. S. intelligence officials that
KhruShchev had turned his first
SAP missiles over to Mao.
/ This suspicion was fully con-
hrlned a week later when a

lite, passing over the same area.

these SAM bases in China.
Since this Samos mis- 81 O n

community, another 20 site S

along China S vast Eastern sea
coast and near the largest and
most important inland military
bases. Also, the U. S. learned
from other sources that these
missile sites were constructed
by Soviet military technicians.
TAKING ANOTHER LOOK -
This latter discovery along with
the missile findings has touched
off a sharp debate among the
Presidents chief advisers over
the accuracy of government pol
icy estimates of the Soviet
dispute.
One group headed BY Direc-
tor John AEcCOne. Of the Central
Intelligence Agency. is using the
new intelligence to challenge the
state Departments policy as
seSSment that there is a deer
split between China and Russia
While recognizing the exis-
tence Of theological differences
between Khrushchev and Mao
the McC0ne group argues that
the Soviet missile assistance
clearly indicates that the two
Communist leaders are working
closely together in building a
military machine to oppose the
u S.
These officials foresee no open
Soviet-China break.
The other group. headed by
pr. Walt Rostow, chairman OF
the State Department Planning
Commission, contends that 1.-THE
antagonlsms between Moscow
and Pciping are so deep-seatad
that we cannot foresee any
genuine reconciliation Of the dis
pute, at least while Mao and
Khrushchey hold power"
They contend that the Soviet
missile help to China is incon-
elusive and that the delivery Of
MIG-21 intercepters only six ia
India by the Kremlin is coun-
ter-proof that there is a deer
/ split,

edly undecided which Of the two
clashing views to follow in his
policy making, although in the
past he has leaned toward the
Rostow group. which includes
McGeorge Bundy, his special
foreign policy adviser in the
White House.
