It said the Soviet Union had repeatedly requested Peking to arrange consultations on the de marcation of certain parts of the frontier in order to avoid misunderstandings but the Chi nese have refused to negotiate and are still 'violating the bor der. It said the situation was "alarming, especially in view of the fact that Chinese propagan da has clearly hinted about al leged injustices of the past con nected with certain areas of the I Soviet-Chinese border." "The artificial creation in our time of territorial problems, es- ' pecially among socialist coun tries, means the pursuit of a dangerous path," the statement said.

The proposal, the pontiff said, will be discussed at the second session of the Ecumenical coun cil, opening Sept. 29. The Curia is composed of agencies which the pontiff uses in the exercise of his supreme and universal power over the Catholic church. Pope Paul told Curia mem bers Saturday he intends to make it more international in membership and more progres sive in outlook. Special Audience "Various reforms will be need ed," the Pope said in a special audience with members of the Curia's various departments. "They will certainly be pon dered, they will be outlined ac cording to venerable and rea sonable traditions on one hand, according to the needs and times of the other." The purpose of the reforms, the pontiff declared, is "to drop what is passing or superfluous in thc forms and norms that govern thc Roman Curia and to bring about what Is vital and providential ..." Vatican sources interprctca the papal statement as another progressive step in line with the late Pope John XXIII's Ecu menical council, the second council session called by Pope Paul and both pontiffs' efforts to unify the churches of Chris tendom throughout the world. Thc Curia has been the strong hold of Catholic conservatives for centuries. Because of its power as Rome's controlling agency, the Curia dictates ad ministrative policies for the Catholic church everywhere. All-Night Watch Posted on Churches BIRMINGHAM, Ala.

Taylor of the military effort against the Com munist Viet Cong." Consultations They ane expected to depart Monday for a one week look at the military situation in South Viet Nam. White House sources said the mission is the result of top-level consultations within the government and with Lodge in Saigon. They said Secretary of State Dean Rusk was consulted, al though the mission is described as purely military.
