'Chinese Aid to Pakistan

Widens Sino-Soviet Breach

By CLARENCE FANTO
Soviet-Communist Chinese re-
lations, already at a low ebb, seem
likely to reach a new nadir be-
cause of the hot war between In-
dia and Pakistan, according to
diplomatic observers in Washing-
ton.
The Soviet Union, which has
been exerting its influence in an
attempt to convince the warring
nations to settle their deep-seated
disputes -at the conference table,
is deeply troubled. by the spectre
of a power vacuum on the Asian
subcontinent into which Peking
could easily move.

Despite acrimony between Wash-
ington and Moscow over U.S. poli-
cy in Viet Nam, unprecedented
Soviet-American cooperation to
help end the new Asian war is
reported from the United Nations
and Washington.
In its official government state-
ments, Russia has blasted Chi-
nese interference in the India-
Pakistan conflict.
"Incendiary statements a n d
threats may cause the present de-
velopments to escalate into an
even bigger confrontation," Mos-
cow has warned.
"Those whose inciting state-
ments, whose policy, help fan the

conflict must be warned by the
entire world, by all states, that
they assume a heavy responsibility
for such actions, the statement
continued.
The only nations which have
made anything resembling incit-
ing statements apart from India
and Pakistan are Communist Chi-
na and Indonesia. Supporting its
new friend Pakistan, Peking has
verbally attacked India and has
ridiculed United Nations attempts
to mediate the conflict. Even more
dangerous, China has massed hun-
dreds of thousands of soldiers on
its border with India, possibly
preparing for new incursions into

Indian territory as a diversionary
tactic. As for Indonesia, it has en-
couraged anti-Indian violence in
its own capital, Jakarta.
Moscow is clearly worried by
the possibility that the India-
Pakistan war may escalate as out-
side powers become drawn into the
,onflict. As an industrially ad-
vanced, economically growing
power, the Soviet Union's revolu-
tionary fervor for military adven-
tures has waned considerably.
Russia is now content to pursue
its leadership of the Communist
movement through economic and
political means. A hot war in Asia
contributes to instability on Rus-

sia's southern flank, and thus wor-
ries leaders in Moscow just as
much as it causes furrowed brows
in Washington.
Peking is likely to respond
harshly to the latest Soviet state-
ments. China is basing much of
its foreign policy upon support for
"people's wars" against U.S. "im-
perialism" throughout the under-
developed world. The Red Chinese
claim that Russia's fear of hot
wars is slowing down the spread'
of the world Communist move-
ment. In Peking's eyes, the Rus-
sians have become almost as bour-
geois as the United States and
thus has no right to the claim of

leadership of world Communism.
The Soviets are willing to sacri-
fice Communist advances for world
peace, the Chinese charge, and
thus aid the United States rather
than the Communist world.
At this point, the Viet Nain war
is the only issue blocking the way
toward a further relaxation of ten-
sions between Washington and
Moscow, and a consequent politi-
cal isolation of Communist China.
Undoubtedly aware of their po-
tentially weak position, the Chi-
nese are likely to become increas-
ingly strident and militaristic in
the next few months, while at the
same time risking no military

move which might place their priz-
ed atomic installations in danger
of American attack.
Russia's eagerness to support
U.S. efforts to end the Indian-
Pakistani conflict may well signal
a desire to help find a solution
to the Viet Nam war. Officials
in Washington are closely study-
ing Soviet newspapers and broad-
casts to find a hint of a shift in
position on Viet Nam.
The hope is that if Russia of-
ficially endorses negotiations on
Viet Nam and uses its increasing
influence upon Hanoi as a lever,
an end to the fighting in Viet
Nam might be nearer than most

officials expect. The fighting be-
tween India and Pakistan may
helo :rovide Moscow with a pre-
text to attack Communist Chi-
nese tactics throughout Southeast
Asia with a view toward stabliz-
ing that area, which has .now be-
come the world's most explosive
trouble spot.
However, if recent indications
of a power shift in the Kremlin
prove correct, the situation could
be radically altered with Russia
becoming more sympathetic to the
Chinese and less interested in
stabilizing the Asian situation.
American actions in such a sit-
uation are difficult to predict.

Summons
Council for
New Talks,
Crisis 'Worst Ever'
To Face UN Since
Organization's Start
NEW YORK (M)-Ambassador
to the United Nations Arthur
Goldberg said Wednesday the In-
dia-Pakistan crisis could be the
most serious ever faced by the
international organization, and its
"potential. consequences are truly
catastrophic."
Goldberg said in a question-
and-answer period after a speech
at the Overseas Press Club that
he could not comment on the re-
sults of the trip of UN Secretary-
General U Thant to the subcon-
tinent until he receives a report
following Thant's return here
Thursday.
He said the United States sup-
ports fully Thant's efforts to
reach a peaceful solution, "but I
can't say now what shape a peace-
ful solution might take."
Intervene
The former U.S. Supreme Court
justice, asked if he thought the
United Nations could intervene
successfully in the Vietnamese
war without the issue being
brought before the world body
formally by the United States, re-
plied: "Yes, I do."
Goldberg said one of the United
Nations' most effective weapons
is quiet diplomacy.
His own "sounding out" of the
secretary-general and UN mem-
bers led him to believe this was
the best way of trying to bring
about a solution, in Viet Nam,
Goldberg said.
"Quiet diplomacy is going on,"
he added.
Security Council
Goldberg, Security Council
President for September summon-
ed the council to meet Friday to
resume debate on the India-
Pakistan fighting.
The council will meet in the
afternoon also to consider recom-
mending the Maldive Islands and
Singapore for UN membership.
Secretary-General U Thant is
due Thursday from Pakistan and
India, where he tried in vain for
a cease-fire. A UN spokesman said
he would submit a report to the
council.

By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The House
balked yesterday at a provision
removing the governor's veto pow-
er over antipoverty projects and
sent a $1.78-billion authorization
bill back to the Senate.
By a vote of 208 to 179, the
House adopted a motion by Rep.
William H. Ayres (R-Ohio), call-
ing on the House conferees to in-
sist that a mild form of veto ap-
proved earlier by the House be re-
tained in the final bill.
The Senate stripped all veto
power over the two types of pro-
jects from its bill and in a joint
House-Senate conference the Sen-
ate view prevailed.
Republicans attacked the House
conferees for yielding on the
issue, however, and forced a roll-
call vote on the motion calling for
the conference to be resumed.

NEW DELHI- (')-Fighting was
reported on three major fronts of
the India-Pakistan conflict yes-
terday while U.N. Secretary-Gen-
eral U Thant left for New York
without the cease-fire he sought.
A government spokesman in
Rawalpindi said Pakistani forces
repulsed Indian attacks in Lahore
sectors and maintained "constant
pressure on the enemy" in the
Khem sector. There also were re-
ports of continued air action.
Thant said he thought both
sides went to stop fighting. He is
due in New York today and the
Security Council will meet Friday
to resume debate on the conflict.
Mission Fails
In New Delhi, Prime Minister
Lal Bahadur Shastri said Thant's
mission had failed to bring peace
sociated Press to the subcontinent and that the
Viet Cong war must be pressed against
SPakistan.
"It should be clear to all that
the defensive operations in which
am our armed forces are engaged
must continue with unabated
vigor," the government radio
quoted Shastri as saying.

Faultless in
Latin Crisis
Fuilbright Criticizes
Diplomatic Advice in
Dominican Republic
WASHINGTON (M--Sen. J. W.
Fulbright (D-Ark) ripped into
United States policy in the Domin-
ican crisis, terming it a failure
and blaming that failure on "faul-
ty advice" given President John-
son by his diplomats on the scene.
At first, Fulbright said yester-
day, the U.S. was guilty of "over-
timidity"-choosing to do nothing.
In the end, he said, came "over-
action" in panic that "the revolu-
tion was Communist-dominated,
or would certainly become so,"
and produce another Cuba.
Danger
"The danger to American lives
was more a pretext than a reason.
for the massive U.S. intervention,"
Fulbright said, and is likely in
the long run to have the effect of 3
promoting Communism in Latin
America.
At least the U.S. should have
gotten consent from its Latin-
American allies before intervening,
,he said.
The senator said the U.S. would
have been justified in the eyes
of its neighbors by landing a small
force and promptly withdrawing
it after evacuating all Americans.
Aiming his attack at the diplo-
mats, Fulbright said the President
"on the basis of the information
and counsel he received" could
hardly have acted other than he
did.
Difficult
'"It is very difficult, to under-
stand, however, why so much un-
sound advice was given him," Ful-
bright said.
Fulbright, chairman of the Sen-
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
put forth his views in a lengthy
statement, much of which he de-
livered in a Senate speech. It cap-
ped disagreement within his com-
mittee so sharp that a study of
U.S. intervention in the Dominican
crisis has produced no reports by
the group, with none expected.

SAIGON (/P) -U.S., Australian
and New Zealand troops probed in
the jungles near Saigon with
South Vietnamese paratroopers in
an attempt yesterday to wrest
control of an area long held by
the Viet Cong. A U.S. spokesman
reported no major contact, how-
ever.
Troops in the joint operation
fanned out from the district town
of Ben Cat, 30 miles north of
Saigon in Binh Duong Province.
The area, being cleared to es-
tablish a U.S. base, has been con-
sidered one where the Viet Cong
always was waiting and ready.
Rain pelted down as the troops
struggled through the s o g g y
jungle.
The forces drew sporadic sniper

and mortar fire, the spokesman
said. No U.S. casualties were re-
ported but Australian and New
Zealand troops took light losses,
he said.
The operation began Tuesday
when 1,100 Vietnamese paratroops,
accompanied by U.S. advisers,
jumped in a driving rain onto a
plain in the rubber plantation and
jungle country.
Elements of the U.S. Arm'y's
173rd Airborne Brigade, Austra-
lian and New Zealand contingents
moved in by ground convoy and
helicopter lift.

HAYNEVILLE, Ala.-A county
grand jury refused yesterday to
indict a special sheriff's deputy
for murder in the killing of a civil
rights worker and charged him
with manslaughter instead.
The jury's failure to return a
first - degree murder indictment
against Thomas L. Coleman, 55,
of Hayneville for the shotgun
slaying of young seminary student
Jonathan Daniels of Keene, N.H.,
brought a quick promise of further
court action from Alabama Atty.
Gen. Richmond Flowers.
Daniels, 27, was killed by a
shotgun blast, and a fellow civil
rights volunteer, the Rev. Rich-
ard Morrisroe, 26, a Catholic
priest from Chicago, was wound-
ed outside a weather-beaten
