Nehru rejects Chinese terms NEW DELHI (UPD Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru today rejected Red China's withdrawal terms and warned Parliament the border war could last five years or more. Nehru said India would be will ing to submit the dispute to an international court, such as the World Court at The Hague, but that Red China first must get out of 15,000 square miles of territory claimed by India. Nehru's tough tone apparently was prompted by a 5,000 word statement broadcast by Peking Radio Sunday which an Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman termed an "unveiled threat." Last week, in talking to Parlia ment, Nehru, 73, was vague about terms on which India would ne gotiate with Red China and drew angry cries from opposition mem bers of Parliament Today he was cheered.

They rejected amendments that called for the banning of the Indian Communist party, for breaking off diplomatic relations with Peking, and for referring the dispute to the United Nations. The prime minister said he be lieved the border war would be a lone one "It may even last five years or more." "I feel confident we will win this struggle," Nehru declared. Referring to three specific prob lems. Nehru made these points: India is observing the cease fire despite the fact It was es tablished by Red China and de spite the fact the Chinese have fired on Indian soldiers since they began if Jeannace seeks commutation of death sentence SALEM (UPD-Convicted child slayer Jeannace June Freeman, 21, formally requested Gov.

(UPD - The bodies of nine more miners were sighted today, bringing to 16 the number known killed when a violent explosion ripped through the Frosty Run mine shaft four days ago. Twenty-one miners were still unaccounted for and hope di minished that any of the missing would be found alive. But rescue units moved ahead in the hope that by "some miracle" there may be survivors. The ninth body was sighted "a little beyond the place" where eight were spotted this morning, according to the rescue teams working toward the face or working area where the blast oc curred. Rescuers were witnin about 1,700 feet of Uie area. The Robona No. 3 mine, owned by the U.S. Steel Corp. and con sidered the most mechanized in the world, was ripped by an ex plosion Thursday. Seven of the dead miners were identified. Identification was made difficult because of Uie condition of the bodies. Mine experts de scribed the explosion as "tremendous."- - - . ' - ''- ' - Coroner Frank J. Bchm and a U. S. Steel physician, Dr. Dave Fingle, said in a joint statement that "The cause of death of the bodies identified was the force of tho blast. Death was instan taneous." A U. S. Steel spokesman said recovery of the bodies was delayed this morning by a breakdown in the ventilation system put up by the rescue workers. Nevertheless, the spokesman said, progress through the nibble-filled shaft to ward tile working face was mov ing at a quickening pace.

Look For Miracle The latest progress report had crack rescue units approximately 1,800 feet from the "face or end of a mine passageway where Uie unaccounted for miners were feared trapped 680 feet beneath the surface. The general feeling was that it would be a miracle if any of the men survived the blast, ensuing fire and prolonged entombment. All signs were discouraging. One mine official said there was evidence that oxygen in the pas sageway area has probably been depicted." He said Uie force of Uie explosion cracked and pulver ized concrete blocks and even beat a mine railroad car. A mine safety expert termed the explosion "a damn powerful one.

In an exclusive interview with the European Communist corres pondent in Havana earlier this month, Guevara said "if tha rockets had remained, we would have used them all and directed them against the very heart ot tho United States, including New York, in our defense against ag gression." Two weeks before the interview with Guevara, Cuba's economics czar, the Russians had withdrawn 42 nuclear missiles from Cuba. Communist publications in Elk rope which used the Guevara in terview suppressed the blunt con fession, presumably because it conflicted with Moscow's current "coexistence" policy line.

Advice on Latin America In one statement suppressed by Uie Communist press, Guevara said international communism's "most effective form of help" in Latin America would be in "the armed struggle already taking place in a number of Latin American countries where the people arc in action to overthrow American imperialism." Guevara identified these coun tries as Venezuela, Guatemala, Paraguay, Colombia, Nicaragua and Peru. Tho reporter asked Guevara to illustrate Cuban "contributions" to the spread of communism in tho Western Hemisphere. Gue vara's reply, he said, "was typi cally modest. . . "He deliberately limited him self to the effects of Uie Cuban example in Latin America. . . "Cuba has shown that small guerrilla groups, well led and lo cated in key points. . .can act as a catylst of the masses bring ing them Into mass struggle Uirough action. . . "We say," Guevara conUnued, "that this can ho done in a large number of Latin American coun tries. McNamara sets trip to London WASHINGTON (UPD Defense Secretary Robert S.
