Roseburg pianist returns rectly whether India or R'.d China is right in the disputed territorial claims, and has taken no sides on the issue. But 35 minutes later he issued a formal statement saying. "The questions asked me on thlj subject seemed to me directed at the legal rights along th; borders, and my answers accordingly re lated only to the legalily of the rival claims. There is the further and more important P',:nt that, whatever may be the nvvils of a dispute, force must not be used to settle it. The Chinese Coi.,munit regime has clearly used i.irce and. in this respect, is wholly in the wrong."

Reason is not with those who have more money, more resources or more news agencies.

This amendment to the Cubai. constitution drafted in 1901 and canceled in 1934 gave the United States naval bases in Cuba, pro hibited Cuba having commercial relations with other nations, and gave the United States the right to intervene in Cuban affairs if American property were endan gered. The only remnant of it to day is the U. S. naval base at Guantanamo. Castro sharply criticized Amer ican news agencies and some American newspapers. A member of the panel in the TV studio read a Washington newspaper report claiming Soviet submarines were secretly delivering arms to Cuba. "If wo need arms, we will not bring them in liko contraband hut through the open port of Havana necause tnis is a soverc;,-;n coun try," he shouted.
