Russian-Chinese
'Hard line'
by Red China
draws fire
ROME (UPD The increasingly
bitter ideological split between
Russia and Red China burst an
grily into the open today at the
Italian Communist party congress
'here with the Chinese fighting
alone against Soviet bloc opposi
tion. "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.

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L.
Mulkey led the family's three
other younger children to safety

The annual Bend Skyliners ski

The program, revised from the
former eight-session weekend pro

the Skj liners to furnish more ef
fective and consecutive lessons.
Lessons will be held from 1 to 3

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

added programs in general gov
ernment areas, but primarily ed
ucation growth.
The letters indicate the people

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

on record as favoring a tax on
cigarettes, and said he approved
the general idea of a net receipts
tax hike.
Lumber vessel

COOS BAY (UPD The 256-foot
lumber vessel Alaska Cedar was
broken in two by the pounding

of Coos Bay.
The ship, loaded with more than

The vessel was pounded Mon

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'

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

McNamara
gives details
of new setup
WASHINGTON (UPD Defense
Secretary Robert S. McNamara '
today announced his plans to dras
tically reorganize the Army Re
serves and National Guard.
The proposals, which already :
have overcome most congression
al opposition, call for elimination
of 1,800 units and the creation of
more than 1,000 new outfits in the
700.000-man reserve and guard
forces.
McNamara ordered changes to
take place immediately in the or
ganization of the 300,000-man
Army Reserves.
But in the case of the 400,000
National Guardsmen, the defense
secretary wrote letters to the gov
ernors of the states asking them
to accept the far-r e a c h 1 n g
changes.
Next Summer
The long-awaited plan, which ,
will be completed next summer U
all barriers are overcome, calls
for realigning four reserve and
four National Guard divisions In
to brigades. It also includes
changes that would affect the two
services as follows:
The Army Reserves would
eliminate 1,060 excess units and
create 630 new units. The Penta
gon said "after adjustments for
35 units which were called for but .
had not been organized, the net
loss of Army Reserve units is
The National Guard would
eliminate 802 and organize 388
units. The Pentagon said after ad
justment for 78 paper units, the
net loss would be 338.
"This reorganization is designed
to increase the combat readiness
of our reserve forces," McNama
ra said.
Increased Readiness
"The increase in combat readi
ness will be achieved by reassign
ing men from low-priority units ta
high priority units, by increasing
the equipment and increasing tna
number of instructors.
Army Secretary Cyrus R.
Vance, In a statement issued si
multaneously, said the 1,800 units
being eliminated were "not re
quired in the event -of mobiliza
tion." He said "I would like to
emphasize that the actions are
aimed at improving combat read
iness." - . . ..
The congressional group most
concerned with the plan, a House
armed services subcommittee
headed by F. Edward Herbert, D

plan Monday.
