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. -

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

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

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.
