clared when President Kennedy
was assassinated, the Republi
can opposition will return to the
attack in an effort to discredit
the Kennedy-Johnson programs
and the Democratic record in
Congress.
The nexl six months will tell
whether Johnson will have more
success than Kennedy in gelling
action from Congress. Johnson,

gressional leaders, is committed

MANILA Continued diplo
matic thunderstorms between
the Philippines and Malaysia
loom for 1964.
The resumption of diplomalic
relations, severed last Septem
ber, is only a matter of time.
But both countries must still
settle the major issue between
them: the Philippine claim to
Sabah (North Borneo), which is
now a slate under Malaysia.
The Philippines has asked for
Malaysia's agreement that the
claim be placed before the In
ternational Court of Justice for
adjudication as a pre-condilinn
to the restoration of diplomatic
ties.
Malaysia appears reluctant to
agree to any specific scltlemenl
at present. But an eventual
compromise probably a gen
eral agreement to settle I h e
claim without any specific pro
cedure is expected.
Should Ihis compromise come
aboul and their relations are
restored. Ihe two countries slill
will have a long round of furl hcr
diplomatic bargaining on how
best to settle the claim.

NEW DELHI India is un
likely to go lo war again with
Communisl China. But t h i
Kashmir dispute with Pakistan
could explode al any lime.
The Indians are stronger now
than when Ihe Chinese Com
munists poured across the Hi
malayas in lale 1962. The Amer
icans and British have pumped
in military aid. India has braced
up her own army, starved for
manpower and supplies f o r
years by the poliries of Krishna
Menon.
It is doubtful Ihp C h i n e s
Communisls could mount a sus
tained offensive without Russian
oil and thai has been slowed
to a tricle despite I h e i r
claims of self-sufficiency "in
Ihe main." The Communisls lor'
Ihat mailer ended Ihe war uni
laterally Ihe first lime, with
drawing to their original line in
the East, and in Ihe West hold
ing the area previously taken
by Ihe Indians.
Thev claim thev are rep-K'
in wait "years if need he" ' ir
a peaceful border selllrm"iil.
