Govind Ballahah Pant, on the In
dian reply to Peiping charges that
India is provoking the trouble In
-tr.L- disputed ho-':reas. I.
Indian newspapers urged Nehru

against the Chinese Reds. Popular
feeling also was running high in
the wake of the clash Wednesday
between Indian constabulary and
Red Chinese troops in Ladakh in
Kashmir.
; The Hindustan Times, the Times
of India and the Indian Express
voiced some of the most bitter
criticisms yet of Nehru s policy
toward Communist China. The
Press called for "appropriate mil-
i itary and political actions short
of war" to def"nd India's terri
torial rights, and warned of the
dangers of trying to appease
Peiping.
Official sources said Communist
China informed New Delhi that
it was holding 1(4 Indians prison
ers, including seven of the 17
bolder policemen India reported
killed in Wednesday's clash. The
other three were captured the day
previously, according to Peiping.
In Patiala, the Punjab Govern
ment Convention of the Swantra

China for the Ladakh outrage and
sharply criticized the Indian gov
ernment for its appeasement poli
cy towards peiping.

The official agency said the pic

The Tass statement, the mast
detailed ever made of the oiwra
tion of the camera- like device
aboard Lunik III, said the photo
graphs to be released are the first
ones obtained from "preliminary
processing."
They were taken during a 40
minute period in which Lunik III
coursed beyond the moon the
first man made object to do so.

The statement also forecast tho
eventual fate uf tAinik III.
It said the rocket would "enter
the dense layers of the earth's
atmosphere and burn out'" after
it had made "11 to 12 revolutions
around the earth," or 'alout half
a year from the moment of its
launching."
previous Soviet statements had
indicated this might happen. But
the possibility had been left open
that the Lunik might hit the moon
eventually or continue in orbit
around the earth indefinitely. .
Tass said the photographs will
appear Tuesday "with, the nece

The Soviet moon rocket was
