Univ. of Oregon Library EUGENE, OREGON U. S. agrees to supply flndia with militcBry Menon under fire, casualty list released NEW DELHI (UPI) - India ap pealed for U. S. arms to help bat tle invading Chinese Communists today and announced it has lost up to 2,500 troops killed and miss ing in 10 days of fighting. Disclosure of the first overall casualty toll came shortly after the U.S. Embassy here announced that India had asked for U. S. arms to help battle the Chinese Red invaders and the United States immediately agreed to sup ply them. Shortly afterward, an Indian ex ternal affairs ministry spokesman confirmed that the Americans had offered to "assist in any way they can" in sending supplies to aid India's defense effort. In announcing the toll of dead and wounded Indian troops, a spokesman said: "It is estimated that Chinese casualties are much higher." Meets With Nehru The announcement came short ly after U. S. Ambassador John Kenneth Galbraith met with Prime Minister Jawaharlal Neh ru and gave him a letter from President Kennedy expressing "full sympathy and support by the United States for India's present situation." Indian troops were moving up from throughout the country to reinforce the border battlefront in the undeclared war with Red China. Indian forces on the border ap peared to be at least slowing the Communist advance for the first time since the fighting started. Informed sources said they ex pected urgently needed infantry equipment would begin arriving from the United States by the end of this week. The State Department in Wash ington had no immediate comment on the reported arms agreement. It was understood Nehru was making similar requests of the British, French and Canadian gov ernments. Menon Under Fire V. K. Krishna Menon, who has been under fire for allegedly mis handling liidia's military pre paredness as defense minister, was reported to have told a meeting of the ruling Congress party this morning that "we are in a better position now to meet Chinese aggression than a few days ago." Nehru was said to have told the same meeting he was not contemplating breaking off rela tions with Communist China de spite the border conflict. Several ministers wore report ed demanding that Krishna Menon be dismissed from the defense post, but his supporters were beginning to rally behind him and it appeared he would stay. Reds sentence California man BERLIN (UPD An East Berlin court today sentenced Jean F. Loba, 37, of Altadena, Calif., to two and one-half years in prison on charges of plotting to smuggle refugees to West Berlin. The Communist court tried the American in secret session.

De tails of the charges against him were never made public. His mother said she had been informed her son was arrested at the Berlin wall while taking food to friends in East Berlin. ?Fk;f;M- CHANDLER TO CONGRESS Pd. Pol.

I don't believe Bend should woo industry in the manner of the past.

Four deer romp through Bend Four deer of the Bend area changed grazing pastures Satur day when they ran through town from the east side, crossed the new Tumalo Avenue Bridge, then moved Into the open hills to the west. The deer, all does, attracted at tention when they showed up in the Pilot Butte Inn area and were spotted from the Elks' Club ear ly Saturday morning. . Apparently the first plan of the migrating deer was to cross the Newport Avenue bridge. But they altered their course and appar ently followed lawns along the east side of the river to Drake park, then ambled south for the bridge crossing. De Gaulle wins narrow victory PARIS (UPf) President Charles de Gaulle won the back ing of French voters in a nation al referendum approving his plans for the popular election of future presidents. But the nar rowness of his majority signalled trouble ahead for France's Fifth Republic. Premier Georges Pompidou said the results gave De Gaulle no cause to resign. The 72-year-old president had threatened to quit unless he received a heavy majority. De Gaulle's proposal for popu lar election of presidents received 61.76 per cent of the ballots cast, but this represented only 46.44 per cent of the total electorate. It was his lowest total in four referendum votes since returning to power in 1958 and the first time less than SO per cent of the electorate backed a De Gaulle proposal. . The president could not be reached for a statement, even by his own government ministers, so Pompidou spoke without consult ing De Gaulle. "The president took the stand that the majority in his favor must not be either mediocre or indecisive," he said. "I do not think these adjectives apply in this case. Ti e vote totals showed 12,808, 848 in favor of popular election of presidents and 7.932.399 against. This represented votes of 77.25 per cent of the electorate. The existing method of choos ing the president had been a vote by about 50,000 local politicians acting as an electoral college.

(UPI) Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily V. Kuxnetsov emerged smiling today from a two-hour crisis conference with Acting Secretary General Thant, who was preparing to leave for talks with Fidel Cas tro in Havana. Kuxnetsov was accompanied by Soviet Deputy Foreign Min ister Valerian A. Zorln, having been sent by the Kremlin to take over the negotiations from the grim-faced Russian diplo mat who had doggedly denied the existence of Soviet missile bases In Cuba.

Hospital Sunday afternoon, seri ously injured from a gunshot wound inflicted accidentally dur ing a hunting trip.

Twelve Pages to dveirsee Naval blockade air surveillance is kept, until rockets kayoed WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi- dent Kennedy today named for mer disarmament adviser John J. McCloy to head a three man U. S. coordinating committee to handle developments involved in "the conclusion of the Cuban cris is." The committee will be involved in discussions at the United Na tions and will concern Itself with implementation of the points raised in recent communications between Kennedy and Soviet Pre mier Nikita S. Khrushchev. The other two members of the committee are Undersecretary of State George Ball and Deputy De fense Secretary Roswell Gilpatric. Ball and Gilpatric left for New York today to join McCloy. The latter has been at U. N. head quarters as a special adviser to U. S. Ambassador Adial Steven son on the Cuban situation. Guard Continues Kennedy's announcement came as the United States maintained its guard in the Caribbean until there is verification ot we nus- sian promise to withdraw missiles from Cuba. The U. S. naval blockade and aerial surveillance of the Cuban sites will continue until U. N. Secretary General Thant can make arrangements for ; inspection of the removal of the rockets. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Vaslly V. Kuznotsov has arrived in New York from Moscow to join In the negotiations. , The White House announcea that the coordinating committee headed by McCloy would "give full time and attention to the mat ters Involved In the conclusion of the Cuban crisis." The members will act under the supervision of the three Cab inet members concerned, secre tary of State Dean Rusk, De fense Secretary Robert S. McNa- mara,' and Amc-assaaor Dievt-n- son, and will report to the Presi dent," the White House said. Ball and Gilpatric attended to day's one-hour meeting ot tne executive committee of the Na tional Security Council, the Key policy-strategy group which has met daily with Kennedy to sur vey developments in the missile crisis. Picture Changes Suddenly Khrushchev changed the crisis picture suddenly Sunday when he announced he had ordered his missile bases in Cuba to be dis mantled, the weapons crated and shipped home. The Russian lead er informed Kennedy the removal could be verified under U.N. su pervision. The President, after a Sunday conference with the National Se curity Council (NSC) executive committee, quickly saluted Khrushchev's move as "states manlike." "We step back from danger, said Kennedy. This was polite understatement. Until Khrushchev's Sunday mes sage, the United States was mov ing rapidly toward military ac tion to nullify the ready-to-fire me dium range (1,200 miles) ballist ics missiles stationed and manned by Russians in Cuba. Military Remains Ready Military strength to undertake this action remained in readiness. The southernmost Florida Keys bristled with weapons and men. Kennedy was to meet again this morning with the NSC group. Sec retary of State Dean Rusk Sun day night called in Latin Ameri can ambassadors for a secret briefing on the latest U.S. evalu ation of the Cuban situation. Khrushchev In his Sunday note to Kennedy made no mention of having consulted Cuban Premier Fidel Castro on the missue re moval. In Havana Castro tried hard to avoid becoming a forgot ten figure in the big league power play. The Cuban leader took to the broadcast wavesj'Sunday to in ject his own list of demands, in cluding U.S. abandonment of its Guanlanamo Bay naval base.

' No. 276 viously about plans to send U.N. observers to Cuba to oversee mis- sile dismantlement and shipment. ' Thant met twice Sunday at U.N. headquarters with U.S. Ambas sador Adlai E. Stevenson who de-. livercd a private message from Kennedy. - . No Victory Claims Because of tension generated by the week-long Cuban crisis, there was almost a reflex action of great relief in Washington after the Khrushchev announcement. " On a reappraisal of the Russian promise. however, optimism changed to hopeful caution. High- , cr officials shunned any claims of victory over Khrushchev. Some of the caution stemmed . from the many loose ends in-. volvcd in missile removal ar- . rangements such as the extent of U.N. verification; whether the. Russians would Include their bombers in homeward bound ship ments; mutually acceptable tim ing. Few officials cared to fore- ' what would happen in the next few days. There was, however, a detect able letup In the grinding pres sure of last week. The President took Sunday afternoon off to fly to Middleburg, Va., "for a tew ' hours with his family. Some key White House officials moved out of temporary sleeping quarters near their offices and returned to their homes for the first time in nearly a week. For a while Sunday, Kennedy ignored the Soviet Premier's com plaint that an American plana had violated Soviet air space over the Chukotka Peninsula, nearest Russian point to Alaska," during the weekend. ' ' After time to check on Khrush chev's report, Kennedy sent him a fast reply, acknowledging that tiie plane had flown over Russian territory ; because of a serious navigational error. The President said he regretted the Incident and promised pre cautions against any recurrence. Kennedy also pointed out that the plane was not armed or car rying photographic equipment, but was collecting air samples in connection with Russian nuclear tests. Against any other background, the plane incident would have been the subject of a strong pro test. Cuban missiles, however, dominated Khrushchev's long let ter to the President Norstad may be kept on job WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Kennedy was reported ready today to hold Gen. Lauris Norslaa on the job as supreme allied com mander in Europe for another 90 days because of the world crisis. Norstad, who has commannea the military forces of the NATO alliance for the past six years, was scheduled to retire Oct. 31 and be succeeded by Army Gen. Lyman L. Lemmtzer. Norstad, an Air Force general. Is 55. - - Reports from Paris today said the North Atlantic Treaty Council discussed the wisdom of retaining Norstad in viow of his vast knowl edge of NATO defenses and his experience in coping with Soviet inspired crises. Sources here said a 90-day ex tension of his term was in pros pect, and that it might be an nounced today by the Whiui House. Norstad, in notifying Kennedy ol his wish to retire In a letter last July, said it appeared the weeks ahead would be quiet and lt seemed a good time to retire. Accepting the request reluctant ly, Kennedy called Norstad living symbol of NATO. The Norstad retirement an nouncement came as part of shakeup in the U.S. military high command which sent Gen. Max well D. Taylor back to the Penta gon as chairman of the Joint I Chiefs of Staff.
