army's strength figures are clas-
sified but 1t runs TO about 600,0
men and is steadily growing.
Last November. along with the
national gasp Of relief as China
called off its invasion, was a
frantic urge to build up this
country's defenses on huge scale
as fast as possible. Prime Min
lister Nehru Immediately appealed
to President Kennedy for urgent
and massive arms aid, has been
pledging the Indian people as re-
Gently as this week to get all
possible help from our friends
abroad" There has been wide
spread anxiety here as to whether
the Indian army is strong enough
to Withstand q possible fresh at
tack this spring. Indians cling to
the belief that winter snow or
monsoon rains would halt a Chi
nese advance; military experts
disagree, say Chinese could at
tack any time of the year,
So far, really massive aid has
not come, and there are indica-
tons 1t may not, barring no
further early Chinese incursion.

Kennedy's Promise

President Kennedy said last
month that the United States
will be responsive to India when
we have a clearer idea Of what
the challenge is and what their
desires are and what our capabil-
tiles are" Indians have been told
privately by top United States Of
ficials that future aid will be de-
termined by China's intentions,
India's demonstration that 1t
means business (this 1t has
shown by slamming on drastic
taxes and enforcing savingS and
a settlement of the Kashmir dis
pute with Pakistan. "a Kashmir
settlement as the price of massive
United States aid has now been
undercut by Karachi's own con-
tinued filtration with Peking)
A further hint Indians could
expect a limitation on United
States aid came from Ambassador
John Kenneth Galbraith a few
weeks ago when he suggested the
United States Senate would prob
ably defeat q hypothetical request
for troops, depots, Joint COM
mand and all Of the para
phernalia to common defense"
Since any snoring up of de-
fenses is necessarily secret, there
is some understandable skepti-
cism by both the Indian Parlia-
ment and public that India's army
and air force would be able to
Withstand a renewed Chinese
attack.
The pro-Communist forces that
rally around former Defense Min
lister Krishna Menon have tried
to exploit fears that United States
aid will be much smaller than
anticipated.

are still Chinese prisoners though
IT'S have been handed over in a
Peking propaganda show of rea-
sonableness. The fate of 1000
others, presumably dead, is not
known.
Memories of Chinese troops
chasing its outmaneuvered SOL
diers down the Himalayan slopes
still rankle Indian Army men.
Even with its advantage of num-
bers and surprise China won a
smashing victory, as every Indian
soldier knows. The Indian Army
had long been the linchpin in
South Asian security; 1t is no
coincidence that since its crush
ing defeat last fall, Nepal, Paki-
stan, Ceylon and Burma have all
moved perceptively to the left.
Indies Trodition
To many in the West, the hu-
initiating defeat was closely tied
to the vision of a nonviolent,
passive India inspired by Ma
hatma Gandhi. Even Peking's
military plotters may have been
misled. But Gandhian nom
violence is not the only thread
in Indian political tradition.
India's northwest has been a
battle-ground ever since Alexander
the Great with $4,000 horsemen,
1880 elephants and 1900 char
lots battered massed Indian ar
mics at Paru more than 1000

Menon os q Force

That Menon feels himself still
a potent political force in India
is evidenced by his recent re-
ported protest to Prime Minister
Nehru over the current wedding

hshment Of Menon's hand-picked
pro socialist cadre. Many of
Menon's men still hold on to their
jobs in the Defense Ministry,

 Letter to the Editor

 wish to extend my thanks and those of my mother to the many people of Kodiak who showed their concern for the safety and welfare of the two of us who were aboard the Audrey V last Sunday.
 particularly wish to thank the men aboard the vessel Sea Quail for responding to our Mayday Dis tress Call and, along with others here in town, relayed it to the Coast Guard.
 l also wish to express my sin cereSt thanks to the gallant men of the C.G. Cutter Bittersweet who came to our assistance during the rising storm at the time and who made such a mighty effort to res cue both Mike Smith and myself. Through no fault of their own they were unable to find Mike after we capsized, but this was simply a case where they couldn't possibly be in two places at once.

New Hotel

Continued From Page D The money would be returned af- ter construction had started and the completion date of the hotel was approved by the council.
 This action was designed to keep out bidders who might just bid high to purchase and hold the land, rather than develop any facility which would be beneficial to the city.
 Hillstrand was directed to make formal written application listing the area he needs, so the sale could be advertised. To now no ap- plication has been received, nor has the city announced the tide land sale.
 Hillstrand outlined plans for his hotel which would actually include AS hotel rooms and IS motel units.
 The installation would be locat- ed on piling straddling the break water, about 300 feet out from shore.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Sir:
 The following article was taken from national magazine: Senator E. L. Bartlett
 Alaska:
 'The Constitution states the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. It does not say the right to bear arms should be carefully regulat- ed. Guns for hunting, for shooting and for emergency should, of course, be available to all respon- sible adults.
 Guns should not be available for the indiscriminate use of juvenile delinquents, children under age. They should not be available through mail order catalogs. They should be licensed and such as Sten guns and submachine guns should not be available in any case. The right to bear arms is not license to run wild"
 was both amazed and shocked to read the above article by MT. Bartlett, our Alaskan Senator. Fire arms registration of any kind or the licensing of firearms, other than the type already required, such as machine guns, is the first

step of disarming a free country. This is history.
 From Senator Bartletts attitude it appears that he doesn't want our children to own firearms or hunt. Hunting and shooting is one of the greatest sports in the United States. It must be, since there are over 35 million gun owners.
 Firearms registration may sound alright to people who don't know any better, but the only people it will help are the Communists, for eign countries wanting to invade the U. S. and crooks and gangsters of this country. When the people of country are disarmed, the coun- try will fall. This too is history. There was only one exception, this was England. The only reason that she didn't was because the U. 5. stepped in. Otherwise Hitler could of taken her with ease. This I know because I was there. Of all the Anti Gun Laws proposed in the U. S., about 70 per cent were back ed by Communists. The other ones were pushed by law officers and politicians wanting dictatorial pow CTS. The rest were by people, most ly women, who didn't know the damage these bills could do to a country. Some of these people will tell you that disarming the people will cut down on crime. Check London and New York, they are supposed to be disarmed. What are their crime rates? Firearms kill very few people in the United States, the 1860 survey is as fol- lows: IA people killed by fire arms, this includes accidents. 22.5 people killed by cars. 1.2 people killed by choking on food that they were eating. Finally 5.4 people killed by blunt instruments such as kitchen knives, scissors, base ball bats, hammers and so on.
 If we are going to register fire arms, we should also register ball bats, kitchen knives, fists and so on.
 If a person wishes to kill some one he can always buy, steal or get an old gun, that will do the job like the old army rifle used to kill President Kennedy few days ago.

Racisn-
a Soviet
pitfaIl

no better way Of antagonizing an
African than to appear to be
taking advantage Of him.
Fourth, the Soviet and other
Eastern European technicians sent
to Africa have had little or no ex.
perience in dealing with Africans.
They don't understand their ways,
they get annoyed with them-and
friction follows. Their attitude
a mixture of grumbling and indif-
ference-is resented by Africans,
who like strangers to be friendly
and relaxed. Word gets around
that the Soviets are racists because
they don't mingle), uncultured
because they speak only Russian
and their clothes are often dowdy)
or incompetent (because much Of
their equipment is inferior in
quality to what the Cuineans, for
example, knew under the French).
And when word gets around in
Africa. ii really gets around.
Finally, the Soviet effort to
win over young Africans by giving
them scholarships in Communist
states has mis6red. Africans in
Eastern Europe have experienced
racial discrimination-where they
expected none; they complain
about being subjected to long hours
Of political indOctrinatiOn. Back
home, they compare notes with
students who have gone to the
United States, France or Britain
and wish they had gone West.
DO IT'S MORE than likely the
SOviets are engaged in their own
agonizing reappraisal about Africa.
Here in Guinea, after three years
and $l25, ,OOO, 600 in Soviet bloc
credits and grants, their record is
nothing to brag about: a cluster of
half-6nished public buildings, a
radio station and loud-speaker
system that don't work, a stagnant
economy, q disillusioned people,
an Ambassador expelled and a
government turning to the West
and to private enterprise for
development.
1t isn't hard to imagine the up
roar in Congress and the press If

the us. had expended all this
money and effort with similar
results.
Knowing the Communist ca
pacity for taking the long view Of
history, We can't expect them to
give up in Africa. The Chinese
are quietly culivating African
leaders and avoiding Soviet mis-
takes. And the Soviets viii never
again take the Africans for granted.
But we should not gloat over
Soviet failures, nor should we ex-
pect that the Africans will neces-
sarily 90 pro-West. They are and
will remain primarily concerned
with independence, dignity, prog
ress and non-involvement in the
struggle Of the major powers.
Our task now is to intensity
our efforts to help Africans develop
their countries in practical, useful
ways. We have made q good start,
but we need to remember that this
is an inpatient continent that
wants to catch up with the rest of
the world. Speed is a more impor-
tant factor than sine in African
development programs; if the
younger generations can't see signs
Of progress in cooperation with the
West, they may yet be enticed
down the Soviet path.
Our best approach
For the moment our best
approach to Africa can be summed
up in four wOrds-we should try
to be firm, friendly, froRk and
fast.
We must be firm in our COM
mitment to freedom in Africa;
friendly and Jrsak in our dealings
with Africa's leaders, and feet
in carrying out our promises to
give desperately needed help.
Frankness has already paid of.
Today most African leaders have
overcome their suspicious Of the
US. and are beginning to realize
that what we want for them is what
they want for themselves: political
independence and economic prog
ress in freedom.
What the Communists want
is very differcnt-as the Africans
are finding out. -nm no
