'State Capital town along border is threatened NEW DELHI, India IUPI-The government proclaimed a "stale of emergency" throughout India tonight. There was no immediate explan ation of the move. But it came as an Indiaa spokes man announced that Communist Chinese troops have driven deep er into India, threatening the northeastern border capital town of Bomdilia. On War Footing Prime Minister Jawaharlal Neh ru's officials moved swiftly to put India on a war footing. They called on all Indians to surrender to the government their jewelry and hoarded gold to help pay for the country's war effort. The government also announced a new issue of defense bonds and hinted at sterner economic meas ures if the public did not coop erate in keeping prices down and end hoarding. The disclosure of new Commu nist advances in the undeclared border war with India came as parliament made plans to meet in "emergency session" a week from next Thursday to deal with the Red China menace. The Indian spokesman said the advance guard of some 10.000 Chinese troops that Wednesday captured the monastery town of Towang Thursday swept five miles east of the town and clashed with Indian troops at Jang. This is on the jeep track to Bomdilia, the capital of the North East Frontier Agency. Another Chinese force has driven IS miles south from Kibitoo near the Bur mese border, the spokesman said. There was no immediate infor mation as to the matters that would be discussed at the emer gency parliamentary session. The national radio network said the government also decided to build up "borne guard" organiza tions throughout India and to pro pose reorganization of economic plans to meet the Red threat. Reports that Defense Minister V. K. Krishna Menon had been dismissed because of his failure to prepare Indian border troops to meet the Communist onslaught were dismissed by the ministry as "all nonsense." Indians in mounting numbers have been urging Premier Jawa harlal Nehru to get rid of Menon and take over the Defense Minis try himself, possibly with a gener al as his assistant to advise him on technical military matters. Reports from the border indi cated the Communist invaders still were advancing on both east ern and western fronts, but in the Towang sector at least the Indi ans were on favorable ground. The Reds' Peiping radio claim ed new victories today on both fronts, but complained that Indian troops had adopted a "scorched eLrth" policy historically a Rus sian specialty in some places be fore fleeing south.
