field and his colleagues said that
the Chinese Communists appear
now to take the view that their
intervention is "not required,"
primarily because they believe
that the Communists are winning
in South Viet Nam and that North
Viet Nam is successfully defending
itself.
The implication of this assess-
ment is that if the Chinese
thought the war was being lost or
North Viet Nam wac about to be
destroyed they would send troops.
"They clearly recognize that the
war may reach that point," the
report said.

On Ho Chi Minh Trail
Slowed by Attacks
SAIGON, South Viet Nam (")-
U.S. jet pilots are reporting ex-
cellent results from massive raids
on the Ho Chi Minh Trail through
eastern Laos during the length-
ening pause in the bombing of
North Viet Nam, informed sources
said yesterday.
Squadrons totaling up to 300
planes, packing nearly 1,000 tons
of bombs and rockets, are hitting
daily at strategic junctions and

on the maze of roads and water-
ways making up the trail, these
sources said.

Assails Peace Gestures
Meanwhile, Premier Pham Van
Dong of North Viet Nam praised
the Soviet Union yesterday for its
help for Vietnamese Communists
fighting in Viet Nam.
He assailed U.S. gestures for
peace as tricks, and said peace can
come only when the United States
halts bombing raids "uncondi-
tionally and for good" against
North Viet Nam.
Ground Actions
The weekend saw the windup
of four widely separated ground

TASHKENT, U.S.S.R. (P)-The
India-Pakistan summit conference
was in a near shambles yesterday
and India revealed it has been
menaced anew by Communist
China. A solid peace agreement
for South Asia seemed remote.
Some Indian officials blamed
Chinese intervention for a stiff-
ened Pakistani attitude and an
almost complete breakdown in
negotiations between Prime Min-
ister Lal Bahadur Shastri of India
and President Mohammed Ayub
Khan of -Pakistan.
Pakistani officials replied they
were only sticking to their long-
held stand that unless India set-
tles the quarrel over Kashmir
"there is little likelihood of stable
peace being established."
Russians Hosting Conference
Ayub and Shastri did not con-
fer at all yesterday and a major
effort was expected Sunday from
'the .conference host, Soviet Pre-
mier Alexei N. Kosygin, as the
Russians tried for some face-sav-
ing agreement.
High-ranking members of the
Indian delegation said a harden-
ing Pakistani position coincided
with a "very severe warning" to
India from Communist China.
Both came Thursday, the Indians
said.
Peking, at odds with New Delhi
since their 1962 border war,
charged Indian soldiers were in-
truding into Chinese territory and
that if this continues "the Chinese
side will resolutely strike back."
Another Round of Tension
South Asia - the 480 million
people of India and the 110 mil-
lion of Pakistan-appeared caught
up in another developing round
of tension.
India claims it faces a combined
threat from China and Pakistan,
and that the Chinese intervene
at decisive moments to "buck up"
the Pakistanis.
This is what happened Thurs-
day, some Indian officials charged,
when Kosygin was shuttling be-
tween Ayub and Shastri, laboring
for agreement on at least minor

Determined Not to Negotiate
From the Pakistani viewpoint,
the conference was endangered
when India made clear its deter-
mination not to negotiate on
Kashmir, a Himalayan state it
claims is an integral part of the
Indian union.
The Pakistanis came to Tash-
kent to talk about Kashmir and
were embittered by India's re-
fusal to negotiate.
Whatever the reason, midweek

German Politicians Weigh
Chances of New Upheaval

(HELP WANTED)



BONN, Germany (A')-West Ger-
man politicians are weighing the
chances for a political upheaval
that would:
-Oust Chancellor Ludwig Er-
hard;
-Bring Socialists into the gov-
ernment;
-End some of the powers that
Britain, France and the United
States have held over Germany
since World War II.
One of the most irritating of
these powers is the right to take
over the government if the secur-
ity of the Allied forces in West
Germany appears threatened.
Erhard, naturally, is against a
change that would cost him his
job. Just as naturally, Mayor Willy
Brandt of West Berlin, and other
Socialists, would like to get major
posts in a national government for
the first time since 1930.
Unexpected Agreement
It is a little more surprising

that ex-Chancellor Konrad Ade-
nauer and President Heinrich
Luebke agree that it's time for a
change. They belong to the Chris-
tian Democratic party, as Erhard
does, and normally would prefer
to have their party alone in the
government or sharing power only
with the much weaker Free Demo-
cratic party, as it does now.
Adenauer and Erhard have
fought a running political battle
for years. Nor is there much love
between Adenauer and the Free
Democrats, who played a big part
in forcing him to step down as
chancellor in 1963.
But advocates of a "big coali-
tion" of Socialists and Christian
Democrats now say it is not a mat-
ter of personal politics. Times are
such, they argue, that West Ger-
many needs a government of the
two big parties representing near-
ly 90 per cent of the voters and
able to muster the necessary two-

thirds parliamentary major
constitutional changes. Th

Election Issue
There was a lot of talk
such a coalition during las
men's election campaign.
Socialists had made a
showing it might have beer
ed right after the vote.
But Erhard took a strong
