Repercussions of Incidents On Border Being Felt Today
Bv MICHAEL T. M ALLOY
United Press International
NEW DELHI (UPI) - Exact
ly one year ago today a yell
ing swarm of Communist Chi
nese shock troops swept down
the Thag La Kidge of the
Himalayas and opened a 31-
day war with India. ;
The lighting was Driei, tne
losses were small and stagger
ing difficulties of supply limit
ed the fighting to old-fashioned
infantry warfare.
But the political repercussions
were ot in every country ir.
Asia, and may well have chang
ed the world balance of power.
The disputed border which
was the immediate reason for
the conflict was hardly chang
ed by the string of Chinese victories.
The Reds withdrew from their
conquests on the Eastern Fron
tier, where tney nau scorea
their biEEest successes. In the
West they limited themselves
to an area which had only re
cently been occupied by Indi
an troops and which was inde
fensible anyway.
Both sides have since avoid
ed any serious border provo
cation, and Indian i'nme Min
ister Jawharlal Nehru said ear
lier this month he did not ex
pect any new fighting in t h e
near future.
Following are the major
changes triggered by the con
flict: The Armies
The Chinese "betrayal" of
Nehru's confidence set the In
dians to a belated effort to build
up their small and antiquated
defense establishment.
They accepted foreign mili
tary aid for the first time, get
ting commitments for $120 mil
lion worth from the United
Slates and $60 million worth
from the British Common
wealth. They also got Soviet help to
ward producing their own su
personic jet fighters, and Anglo
American agreement for "joint
air exercises" which could be
easily converted into joint air
defense if the Chinese attacked
again.
Recruiting drives were
launched. The defense budget
was increased to $1.7 billion.
The Chinese likewise strength
ened and reinforced their bor
der roads and garrisons.
The Cold War
Despite the Communist at
tack, India clung to its prized
Lodge Recalled to
U.S. From Viet Nam
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Am
bassador Henry Cabot Lodge is
being recalled to Washington to
give the Kennedy administra
tion a first-hand report on poli
tical and military conditions in
strife-torn South Vict Nam.
One subject the administra
tion will discuss wilh Lodge is
how much harder the U n 1 1 e d
States can and should crack
down in the future on the gov
ernment of President Ngo Dinh
Diem to obtain reform.
The Stale Department, In
making the announcement
Wednesday, insisted that the
move did not indicate an
"emergency." Officials said
Lodge is supposed to return
periodically to meet with policy-makers
here. Ho will return
for several days of consultation
at the end of this month or
early in November.
Officials Hopeful
About Wheat Sale
WASHINGTON (UPI) - U.S.
and Soviet officials appeared
optimistic today about pros
pects for American wheat sales
to Russia, but the nagging prob
lem of shipping costs was still
unresolved.
The Commerce Department
authorized the sale of 1.2 mil
lion bushels of yellow coin, val
ued at $1,929,384, to Communist
Hungary Wednesday. The de
partment, by custom, declined
to list the name of the private
American grain trader who re
ceived the sale permit.
Informed sources said a sec
ond and even larger deal send
ing corn to Hungary was pend
ing in the Commerce Depart
ment. An export license appli
cation also has been pending
for sale of about 5,000 tons of
sovbean meal to Ilunparv with
approval expected soon.
Music Center Sets
Its Grand Opening
Grand opening of the Music
Center, scheduled for Friday
and Saturday in Medford, will
be attended by J. W. Anderson,
Hodgers Organ Company pro
duction manager.
Anderson, in addition (o his
managerial functions, has an ac
tive role in the design of the
Rodgers instruments, and Is a
profesional organist. He is a
member of both the Portland
and San Francisco chapters of
the American Guild of Organists.
During the Music Center's
opening, Anderson will answer
questions about and demonstrate
both the home and church-model
organs on display in the Music
Center's Arcade building show
rooms.
"non alignment." declining to
jump into the Western camp.
Nehru maintained friendly ties
with both America and Russia.
India likes to think its stand
has lessened the tension be
tween Washington and Moscow.
The support of both capitals
for India has put them on the
same side in a major cold-war
issue.
When India emphasized its
friendliness with the Soviet Un
ion in the midst of a Chinese at
tack, it forced the Russians to
make a choice.
The Russians, who were hav
ing a running quarrel with the
Chinese in any case, seem to
have chosen New Delhi.
They promised to help India
i build a factory for supersonic
jets more modern than any
; thing in China's armory. They
sold a dozen MIG-21 fighters
j to India as samples.
The Russians and their satel
j litcs also sold small arms and
1 other materiel to the Indians.
Moscow agreed to the idea of
1 installing ground - to - air mis
i siles to protect Indian cities.
The Russians cut into Chinese
military capacity by slowing up
exports of badly-needed oil.
Kashmir
The British and the Ameri
cans were disappointed in their
hope that the common threat
from China would lead India
and Pakistan to settle their 16
year quarrel over Kashmir. In
stead, Indo - Pakistani relations
are worse than ever.
The Pakistanis are so upset
about India's new arms build
up that they have drawn closer
to Communist China on the old
theory that "the enemy of my
enemy is my friend." The In
dians see this as the start of
an aggressive Sino - Pakistani
alliance against themselves.
The Politicians
India's disastrous u n p r e
paredness shook the people's
confidence in their government.
Even Nehru, once above the
storm, came in for sharp criti
cism. His "political lightning
rod'' who had drawn off most
of the criticism before, Yankee
baiting Defense Minister V. K.
Krisshna Menon, was the first
to go, falling on the specific
issue of unpreparedness. He has
very little influence today.
But the chorus of criticism
which began with defense is
sues gradually spread to in
clude taxes, prices and corrup
tion, and trained itself on oth
er leaders of the Congress Par
ty. To still these voices and mend
the party's cracked image, Neh
ru fired a dozen top office hold
ers, bidding them to go into the
countryside and help mend that
image.
Menon's sympathizers in the
Communist party (100,000 card
carriers, several million voters)
were undercut by the Chinese
attack. Hundreds of them were
arrested, and the party is still
torn between a "Nationalist"
majority and a pro-Peking fac
tion which threatens to form
an underground splinter group.
Indian Democracy
The official state emergency
announced last Oct. 26 remains
in force.
Not a shot has been fired for
11 months, but the government
retains emergency powers to
imprison people without trial,
to close newspapers, to censor
the press and to seize property.
Plans for Ashland Post Office Holed
ASHLAND Postmaster Park
er T. Hess has been advised by
Postmaster General John Gron
ouski that preliminary plans for
the new Ashland post office will
be prepared by the post office
department's engineering
branch and bidding forms and
specifications will be available
soon.
Congressman Robert B. Dun
can announced yesterday that
the federal government had ap
proved a 27,500 square foot piece
of property at the location of
First and C Sts. as site for the
new facility.
The property is owned by Jim
and Dorothy E. Busch of Ash
land. The site option will be trans
ferred to the successful bidder
who will purchase the land, con
struct the building to post office
department specifications and
lease it to the post office de
partment on a 10-year basic
lease with renewal options.
The present post office loca
tion at 53 Second St., occupied
for the past 10 years, will be va
cated, according to Congress
man Duncan.
