2 g SUNDAY. OtKtBKR 20. 13 Border Incidents Give New By HENRY SHAPIRO United Press International MOSCOW (UPD-The erup tion of incidents reported along the almost 5,000-mile Soviet Chinese horde' has given a new dimension to the massive Sino Soviet conflict which has al ready shattered the monolithic structure of the Communist camp and virtually divided it into two rival blocs. The crowning evidence of the Irrevocability of the split be tween the two communist giants was provided Oct. 4 with the publication of a voluminous So viet statement which, in effect, outlawed Peking from the com munist movement. An exhaustive :i8-pagc editor ial in "Kommunist," the most authoritative organ of the So viet central committee, con tained a catalogue of Chinese doctrinal and political "here sies" which added up to the ac cusation that Peking has be trayed and abandoned interna tional communism. Editorial Preceded The editorial was preceded on Sept. 21 by a Kremlin decla ration which listed a host of serious Sino-Soviet interstate conflicts (as distinguished from ideological divergences) high lighted by the charge that China was engaged in an old fashioned imperialist practice territorial grabs. The traditional 30-year-old great power conflict between Czarist Russia and Imperial China appeared to be flaring up again and nut in the open.

Warns Against Efforts Charging that the Chinese had deliberately made more than 5.000 border incursions across the Soviet frontier in the Si berian Amur and Ussuri val leys, the Kremlin sternly warned against Chinese efforts "artificially to create territor ial problems ... by reference to Old Testament data and the tombs of ancestors." "Thus to review historically established borders would lead to nothing good," the Soviet statement added, as it simul taneously disclosed for the first time that Peking had rejected Moscow's repeated offers to ne gotiate frontier claims. Earlier in September, Peking had accused Soviet authorities in Sinkiang (another historical ly disputed area in Chinese Central Asia) of coercing tens of thousands of Chinese citizens into fleeing to the Soviet Union. Seek Refuge In the Soviet version, about 60,000 men, women and chil dren were forced by racist per secution and famine to abandon their present communes and seek refuge across, the border in Soviet Kazakhstan. The refugees, the Russians said, were admitted on purely humanitarian grounds and would not be forcibly returned to China. In the course of the past few weeks the Soviet press has pub lished a spate of eyewitness re ports of massacre and syste matic resettlement in the heart of China involving thousands of members of the national minori- Mayor Reviews Trip People who give "only mon' cy" in the United Fund appeal would give more if they could see how the United Fund dol lars are being stretched.

NEW DIMENSION GIVEN The eruption of in cidents reported along the almost 5,000-mile Soviet-Chinese border has given a new dimen sion to the massive Sino-Soviet conflict, which has already shattered the monolithic structure tics of Sinkiang (Chinese Turke stan). Sinkiang has an estimat ed population of about 5 mil lion (M), most of whom are ethnically and racially related to the inhabitants of the So viet Republics of Kazakhstan, Kirghizia and Tadjikistan. Such incidents over Sinkiang's vast, unclcarly demarcated and largely desert border are bound to recur, giving the growing bitterness between the two na tions and the Chinese refusal, as the Russians claim, to nego tiate the dispute. the agencies included in Dun- levy's tour.

The Russian-Chinese border, the longest in the world, is di vided into two parts.

Central Point, Medford and Jacksonville each reported one case of strep throat. Other cases reported were one of infectious meningitis at Gold Hill, one of infectious mononucleosis in Medford. one case of mumps in Medford and one in Ashland, one case of impetigo in Medford and Jack sonville, one case of tubercu losis at White City, three cases of German measles in Medford and one of infectious hepatitis in Talent. One case of gonorrhea was re ported in the county, Dr. Mcrkcl said. Congress Extends Billboard Bonus WASHINGTON (UPI1 - Con gress has approved legislation to extend (or two years the "bo nus" offered to states that bar billboards from interstate high ways. The House completed final action and sent the measure to President Kennedy. I'ndcr the bill some Ml states will be given another chance to take advantage of the offer that they have spurned for the past two years. This feature of the highway program expired July 1. The federal government's share of the construction costs of interstate highways is boost ed by one-half of one per cent in states which prohibit signs and billboards within 660 feet of the right-of-way of the inter state roads. Since the bonus provision was enacted in 1958 only 20 states, including Oregon, have enacted laws to qualify for I h e payments.

This newsmap shows area (1) and (2), which have been of historic importance to the two countries and have fig ured in treaties of major political significance. (UPI) in their honeymoon stage the Chinese published a map of their 1840 frontiers which, they claimed, extended beyond the Amur River valley and east ward to cover the whole Siber ian Pacific coast including the great port of Vladivostak, the maritime province and Sakha lin island. The same map included in the Chinese Empire large areas (about half a million square miles) of present Soviet Cen tral Asia including the capital The problem is being met, how. ever, she explained, by savings made in other areas through purchase of some government surplus foods, utilizing excess crops in the area fields and or chards, donations from food merchants, home freezing and canning. The girls, she assured the visitors, will receive proper dental and eye care. As might be expected, it was at Our Lady of Providence Nursery that the emotions of visitors were most difficult to control, Dunlevy said. Observing the specialized care required by the children, 18 months to five years of age, at this nursery, brought the real ization that people like Mrs. John Brcnnan, a volunteer worker, are contributing some thing much greater than mon ey.

Not Recognize Treaties Following a pause of nine years Peking this year, in an official declaration, said that it would not recognize the "un equal treaties" of the last three centuries under which the im perialist powers carved up the crumbling and helpless Chinese Empire. The Soviet Union, as the suc cessors of Czarist Russia, was held to be the legatee of Czar ist imperialism. But the Soviets don't accept that argument and have told the Chinese that ref erence to historical claims "would be embarking on an ex tremely dangerous path." The Russians under Peter the Great reached the Amur river in 1682 but were pushed back by the Chinese in 1689, only to resume their successful march to the Pacific 80 years later. China formerly ceded those areas to Russia by the treaties of Aigun in 1858 and Peking in 1680. Basis for Claims The Chinese claims to those land were based on the con quest by the Manchus but they had never settled them effec tively. By contrast, the Russians made Siberia as Russian as California is American. It would appear that the Chinese would have no more success in regaining Siberia than Mexico, would have with regard to Cali fornia. The Russians also completed their conquest of present So viet Central Asia in the middle of the last century when the area was ruled by feuding local Moslem warlords. Watching the girls at Villa St. Rose move from classroom to classroom, Dunlevy said it was extremely difficult to be lieve that the 120 girls enrolled have been committed by their local courts because of emo tional or family difficulties. "Under the Guidance of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd," ne added, the majority re turn to society educated and adjusted to lead normal lives." Shows More Evidence The Albcrtina Kerr Nursery, the tour found, showed more evidence of the "splendid work of Miss Russell." In St. Mary's Home for Boys, Dunlevy said it was easy to believe Father Goodrich's state ment that the boys do the jani tor work around the place. The work, he said, is not allotted out as punishment, but is part of the daily routine on the 680 acre farm that rehabilitates about 150 school-age boys each year. The state furnishes ap proximately S1.90 of the $4.88 per day required to feed, shel ter, clothe and educate each boy. Mothers and their children who have been victims of brok en homes and other tragedies that have made them tempo rarily helpless, are being cared (or by the Volunteers of Amer ica, joining ranks with other dedicated orders and individ uals, Dunlevy said. Many in the Volunteers' care are getting their first taste of real home life in which some one cares what they eat, when they eat, how they sleep and how they look. The mayor voiced regret that it is financially impossible to give every person asked to con tribute to the United Fund a glimpse of the work as it was viewed last May by the tour of 16 people.

Call en ut todiyl The Chinese recognized Rus sian sovereignty there by the j treaty of Hi of 1881. Left to Chinese But the treaty of Hi left min-: eral-rich Sinkiang, which was j ruled by a local emir, nominal ly to the Chinese although the area remained a Soviet sphere of interest and a protectorate until the Chinese Communists took over. It took Mao Tse-Tung about four months of hard bargain ing with Stalin in 1950 to obtain what were probably the last ter ritorial concessions. In an unprecedented act in Russian history, Stalin volun tarily gave up Soviet historic in terests in Sinkiang and Manchu ria and ceded China the ports of Darien and Port Arthur.

MORSE 6th Cr Ivy tween the Soviet Union and China. Geopolitical factors, differ ence in tradition, race, stages of economic development, the upsurge of Nationalist senti ments and the revival of old national rivalries all spell in creasing trouble between the erstwhile comrades. Conflict is particularly likely to develop in the critical Sin kiang area which is so remote from the Chinese heartland and so close to the relatively flour ishing Soviet Republics of Cen tral Asia. The frontier situation here, in the opinion of diplomatic ob servers, is potentially more dan gerous than the border conflict between China and India. Fall on Deaf Ears The Chinese effort to divide j the world along racial lines the j yellows and the blacks against' MOTORS Phone 772 - the whites may fall on the deaf ears of the non-Chinese minori ties of Sinkiang. The rule of the Chinese war lords has not tended toward gaining the sympathies of the Kazakhs and Uigurs of Sinki ang. To them the absence of communes and the relatively greater autonomy their kinsmen across the Soviet border, appar ently enjoy may prove more attractive than Peking's appeal to race. The Outer Mongolians have already rejected Chinese blan dishments and have rallied to the Russians in the Moscow Peking tug-of-war. But unsettled Sinkiang with its multi-racial population and substantial deposits of oil, tung sten and wolfram straddling a desert border may become the focal point of the Sino-Soviet territorial controversy. 7155 o 0 0 erw-9 (O)
