Nehry Abpuf-Face on China Compromise Seen; E"2a&id of Khrushchev is Suspected if I By PHIL NEWSOM ! UPI Foreign Editor , . Prime Minister Nehru of India appears to have done an about-face in his border dis pute with Red China, and in it some ob servers see the fine hand of Nikita Khru ghchev, his re cent guest. The seeming about -face occurred in Ph)j Ncwsnm Nehru s sud den invitation to Eed Chinese Premier Chou En-Iai to travel to New Delhi to talk over Red China's claims to nearly 50,000 square miles of land traditionally claimed by In dia. A dozen Indian border po- licemen have been killed since last August in clashes with Chinese in territory which Nehru has said he never will surrender. Why The Switch? . Last December, Nehru brusquely rejected -. a Chou En-lai proposal for a meeting .either in China or ' Rangoon Ion the grounds that the Chi- nese position was such ''there was little ground left for use ful talks." His latest note to Peiping, dated Feb. 12 and made pub--lic three days later, repeated "that "I do nqt see any com non ground between our re spective viewpoints." - Nonetheless, he said he be lieved "it might be helpful for us to meet." With no .change in either side's position, why the .'switch? Despite denials, Khrushchev j had a big hand in it. Nehru had rejected a viet offer to act as go-be- Itween, but nonetheless, these "parties believe, Khrushchev made a secret trip to Peiping .in mid-January to see Chou ; and Chinese leader I.Ico. Tse 'tung to talk oyer the Sino . Indian problem. This trip has .been rumored but never of tficially confirmed. On or around Jan. 20, when 'First Deputy Soviet Premier IFrol Kozlov was visiting New Delhi, Khrushchev transmit ted the gist of his talks to -Kozlov who in turn had three meetings with Nehru. . Kozlov is supposed to have compromise if Nehru agreed Jto a meeting with Chou. Nehru Wanted Assurances Nehru's letter was written Feb. 5 but not transmitted until one day after Khru vshchev's arrival in New Delhi. -Onvernment smirpps sav this 'was an accident, due to Neh- '.m' wish thpt tho lAftr Vo -delivered by his ambassador io i-eipmg who iiaa Deen on consultation in New Delhi. Others say it was because Nehru wanted a last minute check with Khrushchev on its contents. They also speculate that Khrushchev remained quiet and aloof from newsmen be cause he wanted to give no in dication that the Soviet Un ion . had re-entered the pic ture. In any event, these same sources believe Nehru would not have risked his reputa tion on the possibility of a meeting with Chou without having some assurances about its outcome, ersson Calls on Congress to ut Price Supports on Wheat Washington flJPH- Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson asked Congress today to cut price supports on wheat, elimi nate wheat acreage controls, and expand the soil bank's conservation reserve to 60 mil lion acres. He spelled out for the House Agriculture Committee details of the program outlined by President Eisenhower in his special farm message to Con gress Feb. 9. Benson submitted a draft bill of the proposed changes in the farm program. He outlined the sort of farm program the administration would prefer. But, as did the President, Benson held the door open for any other pro gram Congress might adopt if and in line with the general guidelines presented by Eisen hower in the farm message, Features of Program . Eisenhower's message said a wheat measure providing for more rigid controls would be acceptable if it was really effective and did not raise price supports. Here were the features of the administration bill: Wheat: Eliminate acreage controls effective with the 1961 crop; set price supports at 75 per cent of the previous three-year average for 1961, 1962, and 1963 crops; for the 1964 crop and thereafter set price supports at 90 per cent of the three-year average; bar sales of wheat from govern ment stocks except on the aft le Efficiently matized on TV Show By FRED DANZIG New York -(DPD- One phase of the dike-plugging job that goes on in stopping the juve nile delinquency wave was efficiently dramatized on CBS TV's Armstrong Circle Thea- ! ter Wednesday night. The story, "Iron City Jus tice," showed how a budding voung delinquent, a first offender, received personal ized, conscientious treatment from the staff at Pittsburgh's Juvenile Court. The boy, "Teddy Marsh," was nabbed by police for carrying a load ed gun. Instead of going to police court to answer police questions and earn a criminal record, the 13 -year -old lad was taken to the dormitory of the juvenile home to await a low-key hearing. Home Life Probed While he waited, social workers probed the boy's home life. They reached three possible solutions: Rehabilita tion school, foster home or another chance. Teddy went home, on probation. Like all other cases of this kind, there were complica tions. The parents were di vorced " and the mother was unable, or unwilling, to care for her two sons because of deep psychological problems. The father wasn't around at all. - rfULLla k'&Zki fwin in ftvrricnnt winai 25 ..- ..xsS I it Easy James Mitchell - remember him as Cyd Charisse's TV dancing partner last Decem ber? - was fine as the proba tion officer and Billy Quinn, as Teddy, also handled his part like a pro. Gang Running Loos However, the show was dis turbing on two counts: While Teddy was being taken care of, the others in his gang were runing loose and there didn't seem to be enough manpower, money or time around to do much about it. Bob Van Scoyk's slick script was less communicative and gripping because it was vague about pin-pointing the details in Teddy's life. i QUAGlQ nville SEAL-O-MATC devy wind esntl water In an actual test J-M Seal-O-Matic Shingles with stood the terrific blasts of an aircraft engine.

Mrs. Frieda Burnside asked Medford Kiwanis club mem bers- at their luncheon meet ing yesterday. Mrs. Burnside, special field consultant for Family Service Association of America, spoke on '(problems ' and the possi bility of establishing a family counseling service here as an extension of the child guid ance clinic.

NEARER DEPORTATION New York TOPD A three- judge panel of the U.S. Court oi Appeals unanimously up held the denaturalization of racketeer Frank Costello Wednesday on the ground he fraudulently listed his occu- uation as "real estate" in stead of bootlegging 30 years ago. The ruling meant Cos tello, 69, was a step closer to deportation to his native Italy. He is currently serving a five-year term at the fed eral penitentiary in Atlanta, Ga for income tax evasion. BUREAU ESTABLISHED Washington - The Interna tional bureau of weights and measures which set up the metric system of measure ments was established here in 1875. basis of 100 per cent of the three-year average price used in determining the price sup port level. The proposed cut in wheat price supports would bring them down to about $1.30 a bushel from the pres ent $1.81 a bushel. Food for Foreigners Soil bank: Extend the con servation reserve for three years with a goal of 60 million acres in the program; author ize the use of government-held surplus corn and other feed grains and wheat as payment in kind; allow special consid eration to areas where it is desirable to discourage pro duction of wheat and other surplus crops. Benson recommended amendments in the law to per mit under-developed countries to stockpile food, particularly wheat, from U.S. supplies One was that food instead oft money would be paid local workers on development proj ects in such countries. Benson said other items needing attention of Congress are sugar, the emergency feed program, the rural electrifi cation interest rate, and the Farmers Home Administra tion. He said legislation to ex tend the sugar act will be sub mitted soon. Benson termed the wheat situation as probably the most critical in U. S. agriculture. 4-H NEWS Teen-a-Paige Club Members of the Crater Teen-a-Paige 4-H club answer ed roll call with pointers for judging clothing at a meeting held recently at the home of the leader, Mrs. Sidener, and daughter, Carolyn.
