Diplomats Predict Sino-Soviet Break

By CLARENCE FANTO
Special To The Daily
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.-Well-
informed sources here report that
the Soviet Union is formally pre-
paring a full diplomatic break
with Communist China.
Eastern European diplomats in-
dicate the break will be announced
following a Communist Party Cen-
tral Committee meeting in Moscow
early in December. The Supreme.
Soviet (parliament) would pre-
sumably ratify the decision ex-
pected to be made by the Central
Committee, which is composed of
the highest ranking Soviet Com-
munist party officials.
The reason for the Soviet de-
cision to break relations with
Peking now, these informants say,
can be traced directly to the Viet
Nam war. The Soviets do not want
to be drawn more deeply into the
conflict and apparently fear an
imminent move by Communist
China to commit large numbers
of troops and materials to the war.
The Eastern European diplomats
did not elaborate on the causes
for the new Soviet fears over pos-
sible actions by Peking: The situa- I wrest leadership of the world

Any formal Soviet move to break

Soviet plan also indicated that
there was some dissension in
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Ru-
mania and Yugoslavia on the wis-
dom of the projected Russian
action.

major shakeup was imminent
within the Soviet leadership.
The Soviet government ordered
the American Broadcasting Com-
pany's Moscow bureau to close
several weeks ago following a re-
port by that network's diplomatic
correspondent John Scali that a
major power shift was likely by
the end of this year.
In other actions which may por-
tend news of major significance
from Russia, Western diplomats
have been ordered not to travel in
certain previously unrestricted
areas of the Soviet Union. Similar
restrictions were put into effect
in several Eastern European satel-
lites.
The only event which could post-
pone an immediate Soviet-Chinese
break, one UN diplomat said,
would be amassive increase in the
United States' military commit-
ment to South Viet Nam. Such
an action might tend to increase
pressures on both Moscow and
Peking from other Communist na-
tions to patch up their ideological
dispute, at least temporarily, to
cope with what is seen as a po-
tentially grave threat to North
Viet Nam from the U.S.

Secretary of Defense Robert S.t
McNamara ended his visit to Viets
Nam yesterday by declaring that!
the United States would throw in:
as many fighting men as neededt
to wage the war against the Com-t
munists.V
McNamara told newsmen at the
airport after his fact-finding- tour
that his most dramatic impressiont
is that "We have stopped losing
the war."
He added, however, that the in-
creased ferocity of Viet Cong and
North Vietnamese attacks in re-
cent weeks indicated "a clear de-
cision by Hanoi to escalate in-
filtration and raise the level of
the conflict."
McNamara declined to specu-;

These were believed to be the
minimum requests of U.S. mili-
tary commanders during their
talks with McNamara during his
whirlwind tour.
Before heading back to Wash-
ington, McNamara made a quick
trip to U.S. 1st Cavalry, Airmobile,
Saigon.
Before departing, McNamara
summarized the fighting of recent
weeks, commenting:
"The decision of the Viet Cong
to stand and fight expresses their
decision to carry on the conflict.
It leads to one conclusion-it will
be a long war."

LONDON (Y) - Prime Minister
Harold Wilson held an emergency
meeting of his cabinet yesterday
amid reports that Britain was
ready to send a Royal Air Force
squadron to Zambia bordering re-
bellious Rhodesia. -
The meeting lasted 112 hours.
Wilson has shown wariness
about sending British ground
forces to meet black-ruled Zam-
bia's request for troops to pro-
tect the Kariba Dam. The dam is
jointly operated with Rhodesia
and is the main source of power
for Zambia's huge copper mines.
A squadron is made up of 12 to
18 planes. Depending on the type
of planes, there would be 28 to
40 air crewmen, 48 to 100 ground
crewmen and 100 to 200 men
assigned to administrative duty.
Threatens Unity
The question of troops for Zam-
bia threatened to split the fragile
unity British political parties have
maintained in face of Rhodesia's
seizure of independence.
The opposition Conservatives
oppose any escalation of measures
against Rhodesia.
Zambia's demand was brought
to Wilson Sunday night by Mal-
colm MacDonald, Britain's special
representative in east and central
Africa.
Some sources said the demand -"The prevalent feeling in the
