I'r. 1 wll r.'At~I 5 Z lL China By The Associated Press Its words sounding more belli- cose all the time, Red China ap- pears to have challenged Moscow to risk a trip to the brink of war with the United States if it wants to prove it really supports the Communists in Viet Nam. An insistent note in anti-Soviet propaganda from Peking hints that the Russians coldly reject- ed a Peking demand that Moscow provoke a major crisis, a second front in Europe - in Berlin for example-as a diversion which could tie up sizable U.S. military forces. Dares Russia To Such a proposal may have been made to Alexander N. Shelepin, -the Soviet Communist party's No. 2 leader, during his stopover in Peking on his way home from North Viet Nam last week. The Stalin and Khrushchev eras demonstrated that when the Kremlin considers it necessary it can almost at will provoke a major confrontation with the United States over diVided Berlin. Just after Shelepin left Pe- king, People's Daily, official paper of the Chinese Communists, re- ported pointedly that U.S. troops had been transferred from Eu- rope to Viet Nam. This was car- ried under a headline: "Tacit So- viet-U.S. understanding on peace- ful coexistence on the Western front." Immediately ' before Shelepin undertook his mission to Hanoi, Marshal Chen Yi, the Chinese vice premier and foreign minister, told a Japanese correspondent: "The Soviet Union is the larg- est European Socialist country. If it really wanted to help the Viet- namese people, if it really want- ed to support and help their struggle against U.S. aggression in an effective and all-round way, it could have taken all kinds of measures in many fields to im- mobilize forces of the United States." Indeed, Chen hinted that one reason the Soviet Union shied away from using the sea to sup- ply North Viet Nam-instead of land transport across China - was that "it dares not take the sea route." The implication was that Moscow feared a clash with the United States. If Shelepin was assigned to seek a new avenue to unity of effort with Peking, his mission seemed fruitless. On the day he left Pe- Create king, People's Daily demanded to know how any who -claimed to love justice could "look on idly while the U.S. aggressors are kill- ing and burning." "How can they fail to increase by a hundred times their support for the just struggle of the South Vietnamese people? Under such circumstances, when the leaders of a Socialist country remain in- different and even work hand in glove with the leaders of U.S. imperialism to peddle Johnson's peace talks hoax, does this not mean they have lost the last iota of their sense of justice?" it said. Crisis in A few days later, a Chinese Foreign Ministry statement, tak- ing a sour look at the meeting in India between Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin and U.S. Vice- President Hubert H. Humphrey, suggested Moscow as cowardly. "If a Socialist country dare not sternly denounce the heinous crimes or expose the U.S. peace talks fraud, it has not only lost its class feeling." In Havana, a Chinese delegation to a revolutionists conference ac- cused Moscow of adopting "the erroneous line of not fighting im- perialism" and of trying to "ped- dle the humibug of peaceful coexistenec on Nam question." Peking now seems to trate on the idea that escalation into general A is inevitable.

Saigon About Expresses Misgivings Offensive Gandhi Follows Shastri As Indian Prime Minister U.S. By The Associated Press SAIGON - Misgivings about continuance of President John- son's peace offensive were evi- deit in Saigon yesterday even as the lunar new year's eve brought the, promise of another short- term lull in the Vietnamese war. Whatever the outlook for the long haul, the Viet Cong proclaim- ed a four-day cease-fire for the holidays, called Tet, at 11 p.m. yesterday. And South Viet Nam's armed forces and their allies planned to follow suit at 12 noon today for a 78-hour period end- ing at 6 p.m. Sunday, Saigon The Viet Cong's truce offer said nothing about the allies - the Americans, Australians, New Zea- landers and South Koreans-and United States GI's remained on full alert. One intelligence source said hard information had been received that the guerrillas were conferring no immunity on Amer- icans. With truce-breaking yuletide attacks of the Viet Cong in mind, a U.S. spokesman said: "We're not going to relax. Peace Reports from the field indicat- ed an easing of hostilities be- fore the Viet Cong deadline, though these were in some cases delayed for hours in transit. According to the best available information, high-level thinking within the U.S. Embassy and mil- itary was in line with a belief of Premier Nguyen Cao Ky that a stepped-up war effort is the only logical hope of getting the Communists to a conference ta- ble. Reliable sources said Ambassa- dor Henry Cabot Lodge was among Americans who would like to see heavy air raids resumed against North Viet Nam just as soon as the lunar new year holi- days endnext week. The suspen- sion of these raids was in its 27th day. The White House position is that the question of possible re- sumption of the bombings "is a mpatter for continual review and assessment." Press secretary Bill D. Moyers emphasized that in commenting in Washington on a published report that Johnson had promised British Prime Minister Harold Wilson he would continue the bombing pause until after Wil- son's trip to Moscow late in February. Though it is going along for Tet, a festive occasion that an- nually eases the shooting, Sai- gon's government has given a de- cidedly icy reception to the John- son administration's continuing efforts to promote negotiations. Ky is reported to have told Secretary of State Dean Rusk last weekend that he is not only op- posed to peace talks but wants an invasion of North Viet Nam. This is a view expressed before by the soldier-premier, who also heads South Viet Nam's air force. He and other government lead- ers want an end to the peace cam- paign and a redoubling of ef- forts to defeat the Communists in the field. By The Associated Press NEW DELHI - Mrs. Indira Gandhi emerged yesterday as prime minister to follow the poli- cies of nonalignment and social- ism of her famous father, Jaw- aharlal Nehru. The immense problems of In- dia fell on the shoulders of the widowed Mrs. Gandhi when the Congress party elected her to lead- ership over Morarji Desai, head of the conservative wing, 355- 169. As party leader, the woman who was schooled in politics by her prime minister father will take over next week from Nanda, who has been acting prime minister since the death of Lal Bahadur Shastri. world News Roundup Antistrike Proposal Surprise. To Labor By The AssociateslPress WASHINGTON - President Johnson will send Congress a spe- cial message today urging adop- tion of a constitutional amend- ment to double the term of House members to four years, starting in 1972. Johnson's message also will pro- pose that the Electoral College, part of the system for electing presidents, be abolished. * * * IBADAN, Nigeria-Murder, ar- son and rioting left scores and possibly hundreds dead and in- jured ,Sunday and Monday in this capital of western Nigeria, resi- dents said yesterday. The violence coincided with po- litical upheavals that ultimately placed Maj. Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi at the helm of a military regime in Nigeria, Africa's most popu- lous country. Army officers who plotted over- throw of the government seemed to be losing out yesterday in their struggle with Ironsi for power. The general consolidated his po- sition with the appointment of military governors to rule the country's four regions. Mrs. Gandhi, 48, told a news conference she facored President Johnson's Viet Nam peace offen- sive. She said she supported a policy for peace anywhere. Asked whether she envisaged any important changes in Shas- tri's Asiatic and foreign policy. Mrs. Gandhi replied: "I cannot naturally deviate from the poli- cies which have been -passed by our party. "We should try to create what my father called a climate of peace. We should encourage the spirit of Tashkent, and see that we have peace at home and also .abroad, if possible. It was at Tashkent, in ther So- viet Union, that Shastri died of a heart attack only a few hours after signPing an agrecieent with Pakista iPresident Ayub Khan to seek peace for 'he subcontinent. Immediately after her victory, Mrs. Gandhi rode in a bright yel- low convertible to the presidential palace, where President Sarve- palli Radhakrishnan asked her to form a govern'ment. He will swear her in sometime next week. She will take the reins of a nation faced with difficult prob- lems. -Associated Press AN AMERICAN F-141 VOODO1 reconnaisance aircraft casts its shadow over two North Vietnamese gun emplacements yesterday., Jo nson Urges .75 Biion For Vietnamese Armaments WASHINGTON (/)-Organized labor, already puzzled over Presi- dent Johnson's antistrike proposal, was further mystified over a somewhat similar suggestion from one of the nation's top union chiefs. Like Johnson, Walter P. Reu- ther, Auto Workers Union presi- dent, gave no details in propos- ing a "new mechanism" to pre- vent strikes in public service in- dustries as well as major 'indus tries as well as major industries like big steel and auto makers. Officially, the reaction from other union leaders and from gov- ernment officials toReuther's pro- posal was a deafening silence. "Let's not get started fighting Walter;" one union president told an aide. But, privately, many highly placed officials found it aston- ishing that any strike limiting suggestion should come from a labor leader of Reuther's stature. "Stunning," was the way one government spokesman put it. Reuther left everyone in the dark about whether such machin- ery to forestall strikes would be voluntary or compulsory. "What are they going to do, put everybody in jail?" said one member of the AFL-CIO Execu- tive Council. The only apparent connection between Johnson's proposal and Reuther's was that both stemmed from the recent New York tran- sit strike. Both also appeared to contemplate much broader impli- cations. MICROPOINT The Remarkable New Pen for Everyone and Every Purpose! Weekend Special RENT AN ECON-O-C'/ARt $10.50 per weekend Friday noon-Monday noon plus mileage i WASHINGTON (R) - President Johnson urged Congress yester- day to vote promptly an addition- al $12.75 billion for more fight- ing men, munitions and econom- lc weapons to defeat Communism in South Viet Nam and Southeast Asia. Democratic House leaders said Johnson will get his wish for swift action. Republican leaders called for careful hearings, but indicated support. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara will start testifying today before sen- ators in secret. We lfust Be Prepared Johnson pledged to "continue to press on every door" for a peaceful settlement. At the State Department, a spokesman said, "the other side has shown no in- *terest" in talking. "We hope the aggression will end; we must be prepared if it does not," the President said in a letter transmitting his second. extra money request this fiscal year to support the widening U.S. military and economic campaign in Viet Nam. Johnson appealed for a no-pol- itics approach to the crisis, say- ing "whatever differences there are on other issues, we are as one in support of our men in Viet Nam." Simultaneously, the President' was asking Congress for early ac- tion on tax law changes design- ed to bring in an extra $4.8 bil- lion in the next year. The new appropriation provides $12.3 billion for military prepar- edness and $415 million for var- ious "country building" economic projects, particularly civilian-bas- ed programs to bring economic and social betterment to the peas- ants of Viet Nam, Thailand and Laos. There is little opposition to the new appropriation but objections were voiced in both parties to tax changes: The changes would include: -The excise tax on new autos, which went down from 7 to 6 per cent Jan. 1, would go back to 7. -The telephone tax, reduced from 10 tp 3 per cent on the same date, would be restored to 10 per, cent. -Corporate income tax collec- tions wo'uld be speeded up, and a graduated system of withholding levies on individual incomes would put higher bracket individuals on a more of a pay-as-you-earn bas- is. by 113,000 men to a new strength of 3,093,000 and adding 94,000 civilians to the Pentagon payroll which then will approach 1.1 mil- lion workers. One major new military unit will be formed, possibly another division. Officials refused to pro- vide a breakdown of the 113,0001 added men, although it is known the great bulk will go into the Army and Marine ground forces.j ECON dO-CAR Free pick up and delivery 6632 033 We rent to students 1 9 and over r- ... - - The Board in Control of Student Publications wants to meet with all those interested in PETITIONING for the Senior Staff of the MICHIGANENSIAN - The best of the fine line pens that have attracted wide acclaim.
