Blame Cold, Not EWEB Eugene Water & Electric Board customers now receiv ing their monthly statements are probably wondering if the billing machinery at EWEB . has gone haywire. No such luck. Nor have the rates gone up. Those sky-high bills reflect the fact that two very cold periods seven days in De cember and seven in January fall into the same billing period for many users o electricity. And the colder it gets, the more electricity it takes to keep a room comfortable. At one point on the morning of Jan. 12, for example, it took ' 202,000 kilowatts a peak ex ceeding the old record by some 30,000 kilowatts. EWEB Deputy Director Henry Bcistel said several customers have already called to question their bills. It's not the rates, EWEB tells them. It's the weather.

Morse said the board intends to give the proposal to the par ties Sunday in separate ses sions, then call them to a joint meeting. Printers Hold Firm NEW YORK W) Printers whose strike precipitated the New York City newspaper black out gave no indication Saturday of weakening despite the drain on their financial resources.

India-China Proposal Announced Ladakh Area Would Be Demilitarized COLOMBO, Ceylon Ml In dia would be barred from re occupying 43 military posts it lost to Red China's troops in Ladakh under Colombo confer ence proposals for settling the India-China border dispute. That and other provisions were of ficially made public here Sat urday. The proposals were drawn up by six Asian-African neutrals here Dec. 10-12. Ceylon's prime minister, Mrs. Sirimavo Ban daranaikc, has since presented them to Premier Chou En-lai in Peking and to Prime Minister Nehru in New Delhi. Neither rushed to concur. Ceylon's foreign ministry dis closed the half-dozen recommen dations of the conferees Cey lon, Cambodia, Burma, Indon esia, Ghana and the United Arab Republic. The main point was that in the Ladakh sector, the region of sharpest controversy, China should withdraw its troops 12Vi miles, as Chou has suggested in letters to Nehru, and that India should not move back into the vacated zone. Instead, the zone would be demilitarized and ad ministered by civilian posts of both sides. In the eastern sector, the line of actual control recognized by both, in effect the McMahon line at the crest of the Himalayas, could serve as the cease-fire boundary. In the middle sector, where there is a string of buffer states, problems could be solved by peaceful means. Mrs. Bandaranaike said Fri day the Chinese had proposed some changes, but she did not indicate what they were. She said she left Peking hopeful of her mission s success. Nehru has decided to leave India's response up to the Indian parliament. Among developments in re lated affairs: India charged Communist Chi nese troops are concentrating on the Himalayan border of the little Indian-protected state of Sikkim "causing concern to residents of border areas." A MILES The vast distances which are involved in the current India-China border dispute are revealed OOre wnen India is superimposed on a map of the U.S. Though India has vowed to regain all the Points blacked-in territory, reports from Peking and New Delhi indicate a peaceful solution may be in the offing. According to the reports, China would withdraw permanently behind the Mc Mahon Line in the east, the northern border of NEFA (India's North East Frontier Agency), giving up about 2,000 square miles seized dur ing the fall offensive. The border in Kashmir would be restored to its status of September 1962, but the Chinese would retain a 12,000-square-mile area in which they have built a highway connecting the provinces of Sinkiang and Tibet. note to Peking denied Chinese charges that Indians have been violating the border with in cursions from Sikkim. A Peking banquet celebrated a border agreement between Red China and Nepal, another of the buffer states between India and Tibet. A new China News Agency broadcast said Foreign Minister Chen Yi an nounced permanent markers have been set up all along the boundary. Honor guest at the banquet was Nepal's foreign minister, Tulse Giri. The second round of Indian- Pakistani talks on Kashmir ended in New Delhi with no ac cord but an agreement that the negotiations will be resumed in Karachi in early February. A likely starting date is Feb. 6 or 7. Industries Minister Z. A. Bhutto, chief of Pakistan's del egation said progress was made in the New Delhi discussions, "but that docs not necessarily mean prospects of a settlement have improved." India's chief negotiator, Railways Minister Swaran Singh, said the talks were of considerable value for the understanding of each others viewpoints and problems. Britain and the United States promoted the consultation at the height of the India-China war last fall, seeking to end a 15-ycar-old feud over Kashmir's fu ture that led Nehru's govern ment to keep part of its armed forces on guard against Pak istan. .
