Page tA EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Friday, Sept. 21, 1962 Red Chinese, Indians Clash TOKYO on Red China accused Indian troopj Friday of opening ire on the Tibetan border killing a Chinese officer and warned that war might break out in the area. The New China News Agency said the shooting took place in the Chedong region of Tibet, on the disputed frontier, and said Indian troops "are still firing" at Chinese Communist border guards. Peiping said "the situation at present has reached a most critical point and the flame of war may flare up in the Chedong area." The news agency said Indian troops thrust across the border .near Chedong in remote north- U.S. Rejects U2 Charges WASHINGTON IUPD The United States has flatly rejected a Chinese Communist charge that the United States was re sponsible for the Chinese Na tionalist V2 plane shot down over the Red mainland Sept. 0, it was disclosed Friday. The Communist charge was made, and immediately reject ed, at a Warsaw meeting Thurs day between U. S. Ambassador John M. Cabot and Communist China's envoy to Poland, Wang Ping-nan. Mutual Agreement State Department Press Of ficer Lincoln White declined at briefing Friday to disclose the subject of the meeting. He said there was an agreement with the Chinese Communists not to release any details of Warsaw meetings without mutual agree ment. Other officials said Wang re peated official charges made earlier this month by the Peking radio. The Communists alleged that Chinese Nationalist TJ2 flights over the mainland ac tually were under the direction of the United States. Peking cited them as evidence of addi tional American "aggressions." No Further Planes Officials said Cabot told Wang the same thing the State Department declared publicly about ten days ago. It said then that Nationalist China was per mitted to buy two U2 planes from Lockheed Aircraft Corp. during tho latter part of 19G0. Officials said that no further planca of this type had been furnished the Nationalists. They also Indicated thero were no plana to let them replace the ona they lost.

The report said the Indians had "illegally intruded" at mid night Sept. 20 and opened fire on Red Chinese border guards at the Chejao Bridge. The Indian and Red Chinese governments have been ex changing charges for months on troop movements in the high remote borderlands of northeast India. In the past four years the Chinese have penetrated and withdrawn at least four times from the area. NEW DELHI, India Wl India said Friday Communist Chinese soldiers attacked an Indian northeast frontier post with gre nades Thursday night, touching off a night-long fight in which three Indians were wounded. Peiping charged that Indians opened fire on the Chinese in the same area, killing one Chi nese and wounding another. An Indian spokesman said the clash started when two Chinese soldiers crept up to an Indian post at 9:30 p.m. Thursday. The Chinese threw grenades at the Indian post, he said, and the Indians fired flares which disclosed "a fairly substantial number of Chinese soldiers within a few hundred yards of the post." The Chinese thereupon opened fire and our post had to return the fire," the spokesman said. "Intermittent firing by the Chinese continued until this morning."

The mis Q, sile base could menace important U.S. kjllG Navy shipping lanes. Guantanamo is about 60 miles southeast of the Banes Cuban Missile Site Could Menace Ships WASHINGTON 11 A new missile site on Cuba's north cast coast could menace impor tant U. S. Navy shipping lanes. U. S. officials said Thursday that Soviet technicians have set up a missile site near the town of Banes. They likened it to Soviet coastal defense installa tions and said it is believed de signed for antishipping missiles. Such missiles would be in the surface-to-surface class. Officials spoke of a probable range of 20 to 35 miles for the missiles. This would not be enough to reach Guantanamo, the U.S. naval base about 60 miles away on the other side of the island. However, it would take mis siles of only slightly more pow er to threaten that base and the U.S. warships that anchor in its harbor. Puerto Rico Route Much U.S. Navy traffic passes along Cuba's north coast on routes leading to Puerto Rico where the Navy and Marines maintain Important bases. This traffic stays well out side the three-mile limit and could go further out in the Car ibbean, if necessary. Official pinpointing of the new missile site near Banes tended to support Cuban under ground reports of a possible move by the Castro government to build a naval base near Banes, which is on a big bay much like Guantanamo's. Sources in contact with the Cuban underground told a newsman several days ago the Castro government has been removing families from a re gion near Banes. It would be logical to em- place missiles to defend a naval base from possible attack. Torpedo Boats The Cubans have been get ting modern torpedo boats armed with missiles estimated to have a range of up to 17 miles from the Soviets. Operating from Bahia de Nipe, the bay on which Bancs is located, these craft could roam the sea lanes which U.S. destroyers and other Navy craft patrol. Cuba hasn't much of a navy otherwise, but U. S. Navy au thorities acknowledged the Soviet-supplied boats "could give us a nasty time." - American officials apparently still regard the Cuban buildup as defensive including the newly spotted site near Bancs. That assessment might well change if the Cubans received not only defensive weapons such as MIG interceptors and antiaircraft missiles but ground-to-ground missiles able to reach the United States. Puerto Rican Court Orders Cargo Seized Cuban Sugar Held On Damage Suit By IIORST BL'CIIHOLZ Of th Atkociated Preu SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico A Puerto Rican court has at tached an S80J.0O0 Cuban sugar cargo aboard a British freighter bound for the Soviet Union. The Soviets and British are ex pected to fight the order. The Soviet - chartered Streat ham Hill, which called here for minor repairs, was ordered held and her 120,000-bag cargo un loaded after a representative of the Terry Kane heavy machin ery firm of Miami, Fla., ap pealed to a superior court in San Juan. The Dade County, Fla., court awarded Kane's firm $883,978 damages July 28, 1961, for na tionalization of its holdings in Cuba. Russian Property Attorneys for the freighter said they will seek to lift the attachment, probably on grounds that the sugar was bought and paid for by the Soviet Union and is no longer Cuban prop erty. Legal experts here expressed belief the Soviet Union also will fight the order through its embassy in Washington. Isias Rodriguez Moreno, who requested the attachment on be half of the Kane firm, said he expected the Soviets might claim title to the cargo. "In the meanwhile, we have the sugar and plan to fight for it," he said. The disputed cargo nearly went up in smoke Thursday night when fire of unknown or igin broke out in a hold of the freighter. Dozens of fire fight en brought the blaze under control, but the hold still smoldered. Chartered for Year The Puerto Rican court or der will detain the vessel until the sugar is unloaded. Then she presumably will be free to leave. The Streatham Hill's captain, Walter C. Whitting, said the Soviet Union chartered the ves sel for a year and the contract still has a month to go. The freighter made port in San Juan last month after a hole was cut in her hull when she scraped a reef near Grand Turk Island while en route from Cuba to the Soviet Union. She is still in drydock. Rodriguez Moreno said he learned of the ship's cargo two days ago and went at once to court. The Streatham Hill is owned by the Acadia Overseas Freight ers Ltd. She has a crew of 44. Cuba Releases Newsman, Wife HAVANA A Cuban man and wife employed by U.S. news organizations were re leased Thursday after 11 days in custody. They said offi cials told them their arrest was a mistake and apologized. Raul Casunas, of the New York Times, and his wife, Sarita Valdez of the National Broadcasting Co., were picked up last Saturday. They denied reports they had visited camps of Soviet technicians, saying they left Havana to visit a relative and were arrested at a beach restaurant. The couple said they were "well treated and well fed" by their captors, who ques tioned them only once during their captivity. aai8-.wi?

Algerians Endorse Ben Bella Regime ALGIERS til Ahmed Ben Bella's Political Bureau had a mandate from the Algerian peo ple Friday to bring order and stability to the crisis-ridden young nation. More than 70 per cent of Al geria's 6.4 million registered voters endorsed Ben Bella's un opposed nominees for the 196 member national assembly Thursday.
