Seattle World's Fair Closes;
Area Now Lavish Civic Center
Seattle-IUPII-Midnight mark
ed the end of the Cinderella
Seattle World's Fair, but the
city did not turn into a pump
kin. She still has her fairground
castles, spires and royal
coaches in the form of the
Civic Center, Space Needle,
and Science Pavilion.
The 74-acre "jewel box"
that was the fair until mid
night has become a lavish
civic center. This includes the
$110,000 U.S. Science pavil
ion, which Sunday was offi
cially turned over to the Paci

tion. 10 Million Tickets
More than 10 million per
sons bought tickets to the six
month fair, including about
400,000 unused advance sale
tickets. As a result of the at
tendance, which surpassed
predictions of fair officials,
the exposition became the
first one-season world's fair
in history to realize a profit.
Fair President Joseph Can
dy, in closing ceremonies Sun
day night said, "I now offi
cially commit the Seattle
World's Fair to history."
The fair may now be his
tory, but it has left a legacy
to the Northwest that will not
be soon forgotten.

Prime Minister
Predicts Victory
In Border Fight
Chinese Use Tanks
In Undeclared War
New Delhi-fOPD-Prime Min
ister Jawaharlal Nehru, faced
with new Chinese advances
the Indian border area, called
on India tonight to nut its
economy on a war footing and
declared: "We shall not sur
render." He called Red China
an "enemy" for the first time
and predicted victory for In
dia. Nehru spoke In a nation
wide radio broadcast shortly
after Red China sent a third
wave of troops across the dis
puted ' frontier and threw
tanks into the undeclared
border war for the first time.
A Peiping broadcast said
that Chinese Communist
troops had launched an of
fensive against Indian troops
on the western frontier be
tween Kashmir and China's
Sinkiang Province.
Indians Said in Flight
The New China News Ag
ency broadcast, heard tn
Tokyo, said the Chinese drive
was launched "near the source
of the Karakash river." It said
Indian troops were in flight
in the area, which Indian re
ports previously had mention
ed as a scene of fighting.
"We are not used to the
ways of war," Nehru said,
"but these have been forced
upon us and we have to face
them."
The prime minister warned
that now power "can imperil
our freedom" and said: "We
will fight the Chinese Com
munists out."
"We must change our pro
cedure from the slow-moving
methods of peacetime to those
which produce results quick
ly," Nehru said in his mes
sage to the people on the un
declared war raging on the
border with Communist
China.
The prime minister, making
his first public statement
since the fighting broke out
Saturday, told Indians in the
broadcast: "We are facing the
greatest menace to our free
dom." "We must build up our mili
tary strength by all the means
at our disposal, but it is to be
supported by the industry of
the nation and by increasing
production," Nehru said.
He asked Indians to give
up strikes and "profiteering"
and to buy national savings
bonds.

worship and, in particular, the
mass.
"Not all of those who spoke
were in favor" of the pro

No Lack of Debate
But his comment Indicated
there would be no lack of
debate on the more than 70
items which could come up
for discussion at the conclave
Observers said Pope John
XXIII apparently had select
ed the sacred liturgy as the
first item because it was like
ly to be one on which there
was less disagreement among
the "council fathers" from
throughout the world.
However, the press spokes

Kennedy Calls
Leaders; Silence
Curtain Lowered
No Light Shed on
Situation Involved
Washington-dPll-Faced with,
what was called a world sit
uation of "highest national
urgency." President Kennedy
today recalled congressional
leaders and arranged to ad
dress the country by radio and
television at 3 p.m. today.
The President's decision
was announced by the White
House today. It climaxed two
days of mounting speculation
that the United States was
confronted by some major in
ternational crisis.
The White House cast no
light on the precise nature of
the situation involved. The
Stale and defense departments
were operating behind a cloak
of official silence, the like of
which has seldom been ex
perienced in this capital.
Speculation covered the en
tire spectrum of international
relations, with Cuba emerg
ing as the most likely possi
bility. Other areas discussed
were Berlin, a new military
call-up, and India, whose
northern borders have been
attacked by the Chinese Com
munists. The chief executive's de
cision to lay the situation be
fore the nation came amid
these developments:
The Defense Department
anounced "cancellation" of an
amphibious maneuver in
which more than 6,000 Ma
rines were to have been land
ed Tuesday at Vieques Island
near Puerto Rico in a simu
lated attempt to overthrow a
mythical dictator.
. -The Pentagon announced
II would hold a special brief
ing for reporters at 4 p.m.
(PST), about 30 minutes after
the President speaks to the
nation. This added fuel to
speculation that some mili
tary decision might be In
volved.
-A report from Mexico City
said there was' strong specula
tion in the Mexican capital
that Kennedy might announce
a ' blockade of Cuba. There
was no confirmation of the re
port In Washington. Hemi
spheric economic and finance
ministers are meeting here to
review the Alliance for Prog
ress. "Highest National Urgency"
In announcing the Posi
dent's television address.
White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger said it would
concern "a subject of the
highest national urgency."
