Socialists Oust
Norway Cabinet
OSLO (UPI) -Norway's first
non-socialist government in 28
years resigned today, only four
weeks after it took office.
Conservative Prime Minister
John Lyng, defeated Friday night
in his first important parliamen
tary vote, handed his cabinet's
resignation to King Olav V.
The King asked Lyng to carry
on in a caretaker capacity, but
called on former Labor Party
Premier Einar Gerhardsen
whose government fell four weeks
ago to form a new cabinet.
Gerhardsen was expected to be
sworn in as the new premier next
Wednesday, just one month and
two days after he left the office.
But informed sources said some
members might be dropped from
Gerhardscn's previous cabinet,
including former U.N. Secretary
General Trygve Lie. previously
industry minister and target "of
severe criticism.
The Norwegian Storting (parlia
ment) kicked Lyng out of office
Friday night by defeating his
party program, 76 voles to 74

Gerhardsen on Aug. 23. Represen

Soviet Press
Lauds Speech
MOSCOW (UPI) - The Soviet
press praised President Ken
nedys United Nations speech to
day, but entirely ignored his sug
gestion of a joint U.S. - Soviet
moonshot.
Diplomatic observers said the
omission indicated the Kremlin
either opposes the idea or wants
to study it carefully before tak
ing a stand.
The Moscow papers quoted gen
erously from Kennedy's address
belore the U.N. General Assem
bly. They mentioned his call for
cooperation in space, but said
nothing about his specific sugges
tion of a joint moon expedition,
as an example of such
cooperation.
Soviet press reaction appeared
favorable to Kennedys stale
inenis urging an ena to tne com
war and peaceful competition be
tween East and West.
The government organ Izvestia
headlined its report "favorable
winds are blowing."
"President Kennedy supported
those hopes on which, the 18th
general assembly opened. His po
sition is a position of cautious op
timism," Izvestia said.
By quoting at length from the
speech the newspapers seemed to
echo Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko's reaction at the U.N.
it was a "very good" and "con
ciliatory" speech.

China Accused
Of Violations
On Russ Border
MOSCOW (UPI) The Soviet
government accused China to
night of 5,000 border violations
since 1960 in moves intended to
claim Soviet territory which al
legedly once belonged to China,
The charge was made in the
second installment of a Soviet
statement on Sino-Sovict affairs
published by the government
newspaper Izvestia.
The statement said that Chinese
fishermen had been poaching on
Soviet islands in the Amur River
area, and refused to leave when
ordered by Soviet Border guards
on the ground that the territory
belonged to China.
The statement said the Soviet
government has repeatedly re
quested the Chinese to arrange
consultations on the demarcation
of certain parts of the frontier in .
order to avoid misunderstandings
but the Chinese have consistently
refused to negotiate and are con
tinuing to violate the border.
The Kremlin described the bor
der situation as "alarming, i es
pecially in view of the fact that
Chinese propaganda has clearly
hinted about alleged injustices of
the past connected with certain
areas of the Soviet-Chinese border."
The Soviet government warned:
"The artificial creation In our
time of territorial problems es
pecially among Socialist countries
means the pursuit of a dangerous
path. If governments today be
gins to advance territorial claims
on the basis of ancient data, on
the basis of ancestral tombs and
demand review of historically es
tablished borders, it would lead .
to nothing good and only create
dissension among nations to the
joy of the enemies of peace."
The statement obviously refer
red to the recent publication in
China of 18th and 19th century
maps which showed that presently-held
Soviet territories in Siberia
and Asia once neiongea to me im
perial Manchu empire.
The soviet government iuruier
warned that territorial disputes
and conflicts were formally used
for wars of conquest, and for this
rnasnn it urged "noaceful solution
of border disputes by means of
negotiations."
Onlv Friday the soviet union
rapped Communist China for using .
force in its border dispute with
India.
In the earlier statement, the So
viet Union virtually accused Red
China of trying to acquire atomic
weapons to blackmail Afro-Asians
and Latin Americans into accept
