"You are making this congress a forum for attacks on a brotherly party," Chinese delegate Chao Yi ming complained to the 1.000 del egates in the Mussolini-built World Fairgrounds. But he stubbornly defended the "different opinions" he said Chi nese Communists have on "a number of the important interna tional problems." Chao spoke in the third day of the congress which has brought Into public some of the strongest Foviet and other Communist crit icism of Peking's "hard line" ide nlogy since the rift first devel oped. New Barrag As soon as the Chinese sat down new verbal barrage directed gainst Peking was launched by Spanish and French delegates. Soviet Communist Secretary Frol Kozlov had his day Monday when he spoke for the Russian aroup. A girl translated Chao's Chi nese-language address into Italian for a Communist audience which by its murmurs and restlessness did not seem to like the speech st all. By chance or design Ital ian party leader Palmiro Togliat ti, a Moscow disciple, turned his back on Chao when the Chinese finished. Kozlov implied Monday that Pe king's call for a "hard line with the West was "adventuristic" and playing with "thermonuclear fire" Bv the careful rules of the game, the two protagonists did not come right out ana cau cacn oin er names but used Albania, Yugo slavia and other parties as sym bolic targets. Days ara Numbered Chao said the days of capitalism everywhere "are numbered. Dolores "La Pasionaria," Ybar rurl, the Spanish Communist prop- aeandist. took the rostrum next io reopen the verbal attack on China through Albania. Looking directly at the Chinese delegation she said contemptuous ly of the Albanians: "We can no longer call thorn Communists." French delegate Roland Leroy, secretary of the Central Commit tee of the French Communist par ty, also deplored the "fractionist action" of the Albanians, and the Chinese attitude towards them. Kozlov, without mentioning the Chinese by name, said Monday that the theory that war is inevit able was "an adventuristic posi tion that has nothing to do with Marxism." Communism, he said. Is strong enough to spread in the world without playing with "ther monuclear fire." NEW DELHI (UPD India dis closed a massive build up of its armed forces today in the wake of the invasion by Red Chinese troops. The build up will include MIG jets from the Soviet Union. The disclosure came as the Communists were reported to have fired on Indian soldiers at least three times without causing cas ualties since the Nov. 21 cease fire. Shortly after Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru announced the firing incidents, Defense Minister Y.B. Chavan told Parliament that this country was increasing the size of its military forces. Chavan declined to give any fig ures on the increase, but said that "some relaxations have been made in the physical standards and the upper age limits for re cruitment. Children safe SALEM (LTD The 13-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Mulkey led the family's three other younger children to safety Monday night when flames swept their home here. Battalion Chief Percy Clark said fire, apparently starting from a fireplace, caused about $1,500 damage to the Mulkey residence. The parents had left the house t few minutes before the alarm was turned in about 9:50 p.m., Clark said. THE BEND Eight Pages Hatfield urges 'statesmanship' on money SALEM (UP )-Gov. Mark Hat field today called for "statesman ship" to help solve the state's critical financial problems. He told United Press Interna tional "this is no time for per sonal politics. I invite all to join in a common effort to find a solu tion." The governor made the com ments when asked what reaction he had received to date on the budget he announced Saturday. The $405.3 million general fund budget largest in the state's his toryalso included a call for in creases in cigarette and personal income taxes, a $15 million bond issue to finance higher education buildings, and an election during the legislative session to get ap proval both of the bonds and the Roads dosed as winter grip tightens More mountain highways were closed today as winter tightened its gnp on the Oregon Cascades.

On 5 consecutive Plans By Bill Thompson Bulletin Stiff Writer The annual Bend Skyliners ski school, for school-age children of Central Oregon Skyliners, will be held on five consecutive days, December 28-30, at Bachelor Butte this year.

Lessons will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. daily. Program directors said it has been proved that by two - hour daily sessions, skiers improve Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon, Tuesday, proposed higher taxes. Two Sources He said the reaction he has re ceived to date has come from two sources: Statements reported in the news media, and from direct contact with legislators and the public through the mail. He said: "It is still a.little early to gauge the reaction from the mail. I received about a half a dozen letters this morning. Most recognize that increases are needed to meet growth. "The people recognize the in creases asked for were due to in creases in students and popula tion. It is not a matter of new or added programs in general gov ernment areas, but primarily ed ucation growth. The letters indicate the people see the reality of the situation. and are glad to see we have the courage to stand up and state a solution. Letters "Constructive" "In general the letters have been constructive. They have giv en support to the general idea of providing for the needs of our children," he stated. In commenting on statements made by legislators which he said he saw in news media, he said "by and large their reaction has given support to the fact we have increased needs. "But they differ as to the best method. "I invite anyone with a better plan to present an alternative. Both Sen. Ben Musa, D-The Dalles, president-designate of the Senate, and Clarence Barton, u- Coquille, speaker-designate of the House, have indicated they do not think much of the plan to hold a tax election while the legislature is in session. Musa has voiced opposition to the proposed increase in the net receipts tax. But Barton has gone on record as favoring a tax on cigarettes, and said he approved the general idea of a net receipts tax hike. Lumber vessel breaks in two COOS BAY (UPD The 256-foot lumber vessel Alaska Cedar was broken in two by the pounding Pacific Monday on the north Jetty of Coos Bay.

The vessel was pounded Mon day bv big waves which washed over the decks and there was no chance for salvage. The harbor was dotted with floating lumber washed from the ship. The Alaska Cedar had cleared the bar on its departure for CreS' cent City Sunday when it went dead in the water and waves washed it into the north jetty. Helicopter pilot Jim Klotz, Mc- Minnville. helped in the rescue. He dropped a line to the ship and then secured it to the jetty.

Klotz then flew the men to shore. days for annual much more rapidly than is possi ble with once-a-week lessons stretched over eight weeks. This year Skyliners, in cooper ation with the city recreation de partment, have engaged the Bach elor Ski School to handle this pro gram.

Announcement of the meeting was the first business brought bo fore city commissioners who lunched in the Rustic Inn Mon day. Meetings for the board of adjustment and building code committee also were announced for later dates. Two topics of general interest were raised by Hal Puddy, city manager. One concerned a possi ble future urban renewal program for Bend. Interest in the program was aroused when commissioners attended Portland's recent Lea gue of Oregon Cities convention where urban renewal was u much discussed topic. Puddy has writ ten housing agency personnel in Seattle and received fact sheets to be studied and discussed by the board in upcoming meetings. Program Studied Of equal interest is Bend's pros pect of gaining a "sister city" in a foreign land. Commissioners mulled this program last year but hit snags when it was realized that co-sponsorship from a local service club would be an initial requirement. A "sisterhood" for Bend would resemble the ar rangements enjoyed by Portland and her sister city, Sapporo, Japan. ski school reported mediates and experts." Fee for the series of lessons is $5.
