d .-Chinese Monastery. Town 13) Troops eiiter Invaders Score Biggest Victory In Border War New Delhi, India -4IPIW Chi nese Communist troops have smashed their way into the monastery town of Tawang, an Indian spokesman an nounced today. It was the biggest victory to date lor the Reds in their border war with India. The town fell Wednesday nicht to a "three-prong at tack" by the Chinese after "bitter fighting in the out skirts," the spokesman said, Tawang is a major Bud dhist religious center and car avan stop in the northeast frontier agency, southwest of the principal Indian border post of Dhola which fell to Chinese attacks previously. It is 15 miles south of the Ti betan border near Bhutan. First Center Taken It is the first civilian ad ministrative center to be oc cupied by the Chinese Reds since they crossed the dispute ed McMahon border line Sept. R, and then launched an all out attack last Friday night Indian Defense Ministry spokesmen said Wednesday that two groups of Communist Chinese troops were pushing toward Tawang with consid erable strength from the north and west. It was these troops who presurnably captured the town. The spokesmen also said another Red Chinese force was moving toward Lumpu, 12 miles west of Tawang, with "considerable strength." There was no Immediate word on the Lumpu situation. Meanwhile, It was reported that Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had sent a letter Tuesday to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev saying he was unable to ac cept a ceasefire along the lines set out by the Commu nist Chinese. Raply to Khrushchev Nehru's letter was in reply to a letter from Khrushchev last Saturday asking for an immediate ceasefire In the border war. India has refused to accept the terms proposed by t h e Chinese that both 'sides with draw a specified distance from their present positions and begin talks. India insists there can be no talks until the Reds withdraw complete ly from Indian territory. In his reply to Khrushchev, reliable sources said Nehru left the door open to prelim inary negotiations If the Chi nese withdrew to the posi tions they held before Sept. 8. This same position was tak en In an Indian reply to a Red Chinese proposal for a summit conference between Nehru and Chinese Premier Chou En-lal. Rogue Valley Edition Medford Page 2A Tribune MEDFORD.

Total Freedom of Press Impossible, Newsman States Santiago, Chile -(UNI- "In no country Is there absolute and unrestricted freedom of the press," according to the chairman of the Press Free dom committee of the Inter American Press association (IAPA). Jules Dubois, of the Chi cago Tribune, told the 300 delegates at the opening of the committee's conference last week: "There exists free dom subject to the laws of libel, obscenity, slander and treason. Nobody Is privileged to exercise unbridled license in expressions, cither person al, oral or through the print ed word." He said free journalists ac cept the responsibilities which come with freedom of the press. Dubois recalled that Cuban Foreign Minister Raul Roa at the fifth meeting of con sultation of the foreign min isters of the Organization of American Stales (OAS) here in August, 1959 signed the declaration of Santiago, one of whose principles is free dom of Information. He briefly traced the usur pation of press freedom under the now-Communist regime of Cuba's revolutionary govern ment. Communist Injustice Dubois said the imprison ment of Cuban Major Hubor Malos for 20 years for merely resigning from the army in protest against Communist troop indoctrination, and the refusal of the Castro regime to issue a safe-conduct to for mer President Manuel Urru tla were "shining examples of Communist Injustice." "Many have been the ef forts made by Communist propagandists and their fel low travelers In blame the United Slates for every to talitarian move undertaken by Premier Fidel Castro and his regime, and, especially, for 'having pushed him Into the arms of Soviet Russia.' Is there anyone also misinform ed enough to Inculpate the United Slates for the total destruction by Castro and the political bureau of the Com munist parly of freedom of expression In Cuba?" Dubois said. The committee, meeting be fore the IAPA congress, will submit a report on press free dom conditions In earh Amer ican country. Special consid eration will be given this year to alleged violations of press freedom in the Domini can Republic and Argentina. Use of unmarked cars and policemen out of uniform to catch speeders goes back to 1902. ROGUE VALLEY Unilarian-Universalisl Fellowship Red Cross Bldg. 60 Hawthorn Ave. Sunday, October 28-11 A.M. DR.

The direct payment feature would be somewhat similar to that now in effect for the 1963 wheat and feed grain programs. The proposed di rect payment would cover the gap between actual market prices for milk and 100 per cent of the parity price of milk. James G. Patton, NFU pres ident, said the organization would push for enactment of the program when Congress convenes next January. Pat Ion called on other farm groups to assist in obtaining the legislation. The proposal would pro vide 100 per cent of parity ($4.15 per 100 pounds) for producers who sell no more than they did in the 1961-62 marketing year. This period would constitute a base for all farms. Producers who de cide not to stay within their base of the 1961-62 marketing year would receive only the market price which the gov ernment would not permit to go below $2.49 per 100 pounds. Paiton said the price sup port floor would be maintain ed through government pur chases for food for peace pro grams, domestic welfare pro grams, and consumption by the armed forces. Patton said that under the NFU proposal, no referendum among producers would be required because the propos al would operate on a volun- Foreign Briefs TURKEY PUTS FORCES ON ALERT BASIS Ankara, Turkay-HIPIUTurkay has alerted its armed forces to meet any crisis and organised special anti-sabotaga patrols as a result of tht Cuban crisis. Sources close to the government said the nation's armed forces havt been ordered to "stand by" and "make all neces sary preparations." tary rather than a mandatory basis. Those producers who take part in the program would receive a direct pay ment from the government for the difference between the market price and $4.15 per 100 pounds. An NFU economist said that if all dairy farmers cooper ated and support prices were at 100 per cent of parity, gov ernment payments would amount to about $800 million annually. He said if there was 90 per cent cooperation and supports were at 90 per cent of parity, the cost would be about $455 million in pay ments. This would assume a market price of around $2.85 per 100 pounds. Patton said the direct pay- keting order areas, payments ment feature would allow re- would be made only on sur- tail prices of processed dairy lus miIk or tnat part of the products to remain at low lev- ... . els because the market price Production not needed to meet would drop. consumer demand for bottled r I mdU Ci.an than cimh nrn. There were no dairy provi sions in the 1962 farm law de spite urgent pleas by Secre tary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman. Freeman said if dairy production was not cut, public reaction might force the collapse of the dairy price support system. Under the NFU proposal, payments would be limited to family farms. No producer would get payments on more than 400,000 pounds of milk a year. In organized fluid milk mar- ducer would get payments only on the difference be tween the amount he sold for the higher priced fluid use and 400,000 pounds. For ex ample, a producer who sold 300,000 pounds for fluid, or bottling, use and 300,000 pounds for surplus would be eligible for payment only on 100,000 pounds of surplus milk if he held his total pro duction to the 1961-62 level. Patton said the need for a national dairy program to boost producers' income was never greater. He said that under the present program, "producers receive an aver age of only 45 cents per hour for their labor and investment a tragically low wage . . ."
