FAY Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON OP)-When Red China begins making her own atomic arms, perhaps in a few years, neighboring nations including Russia may have more initial cause for concern than the United States. Some military men believe it likely the first nuclear weapons in the Chinese arsenal might be for tactical use to boost firepower of her huge ground forces rather than for strategic strikes against distant targets. This is based, partly, on the assumption that Communist China initially at least would lack the delivery systems of ICBM rockets and long-range bombers needed for strategic attack on targets thousands ~of miles away. But shorter range, tactical missiles and fighter-bomb- T o E xam ine er aircraft would be easier to come by.

Argentina. The official, who asked not to be identified, said in an interview, much more "red tape and indeci- sion" than expected has held the program at a slower than desired pace. The two obstacles are pres- ent in Washington as well as in Latin America, he added. Argentina formed its develop- ment agency last November, "but it never got off the ground," the official said. There are factors within the Ministry of Economy and within the offices of President Arturo Frondizi. The result is that Argentina cannot turn out projects which come under the self-help require- ment of the Alliance for Progress. AFL-CIO Raps Fiscal Policies BAL HARBOUR, Fla. VP)-AFL- CIO leaders rapped President John F. Kennedy's economic poli- cies as overly timid yesterday, and asked his support for a yo-yo type work week adjustable to em- ployment needs. The federation's 29-man Execu- tive Council issued a statement representing organized labor's sharpest criticism yet of. the Presi dent's domestic program. It said recovery has hit a lull and has been the poorest following any re- cession. Asks Parley To Seek End Of 'Danger' Demands Withdrawal Of American Troops TOYKO (iP)-Communist China declared yesterday its security is seriously affected by an "unde- clared war" being waged by the United States in South Viet Nam and said United -States military aid to that Southeast Asian coun- try cannot be allowed to continue. Similar charges, that its security was menaced, prefaced R e d China's large scale intervention in Korea , in November 1950, after American troops had reached the Yalu River border between Korea and Manchuria. The statement by the Red Chinese foreign ministry, broad- cast by Peiping radio yesterday, however, demanded immediate in- ternational consultations "to elim- inate the serious danger of war in Southern Viet Nam by peace- ful means." It also demanded the immediate withdrawal from South Viet Nam of all United States military per- sonnel and equipment. The statement objected parti- cularly to creation of the new United States military assistance command in South Viet Nam headed by Gen. Paul D. Harkins. The command has taken over- all charge of about 4,000 United States military personnel engaged in the large-scale training and support of President Ngo Dihn Diem's anti-Communist army of about 175,000 men. The United States force is not a combat outfit, but the new com- mand could form the framework for combat operations if neces- sary. The Americans have orders to shoot back if fired upon. "This command," said the Pei- ping statement, "is by no means merely one for military assistance, but an operational command of the United States imperialists for direct participation. Group Backs Tariff Power WASHINGTON (P)-The United States Chamber of Commerce threw its support yesterday be- hind Pr'esident John F. Kennedy's request for a broad new tariff- cutting power in an effort to +ex- pand trade. The Chamber's stand was an- nounced in a statement adopted by its board of directors. The administration program would give the President authority to reduce tariffs on categories of products by as much as 50per cent in return for consessions from other nations. It also would grant authority for eliminating tariffs on goods in which the' United States and the six-nation European Common Market account for more than 80 per cent of World trade. The only reservation cited in- volved one aspect of federal aid to companies and workers injured by import competition. The Chamber said aid to dis- placed workers should be admin- istered by the states and should not exceed benefits provided by state unemployment compensa- tion laws. The Chamber supported all phases of the trade adjustment assistance with the one reserva- tion. Wagner told newsmen the Chamber felt that it would be discriminatory to pay greater benefits to workers unemployed because of foreign competition than to those who lost their jobs because of domestic competition.

By RICHARD G. MASSOCK Associated Press News Analyst GEORGETOWN, British Guiana (M)-A heritage of hate clouds the future of British Guiana. Premier Cheddi Jagan has sur- vived an attempt to overthrow him but racial animosity has deepened in the wake of the fire riots that swept part of Georgetown. On one side are Asian Indians and their descendants. On the other side are descend- ants of slaves who came from Africa in the 18th century. These two groups make up most of the population. Abolition of Slavery After the abolition of slavery in 1833, Indians and Portuguese were brought in as laborers. The In- dians, with a higher birth rate, became the majority people. Jagan is. their political leader.. The Dutch first settled this area on the north coast of South Ameri- ca. The British took over in 1814. They have been moving toward granting full independence, pos- sibly this year, but now that seems farther in the future. British Guiana, the size of Kan- sas, grows sugar and rice and pro- duces aluminum ore. The per capita income is about $232 (1960). Marx, Castro Jagan, an admirer of Marx and Castro, came a copper this month when he introduced an unpopular financing scheme. That set off a general strike. This might have forced himout of office if wild mobs had not burned and looted the business heart of Georgetown. That gave Jagan a reason to call in British troops to restore order. Jagan promised labor leaders to modify his budget and they 'called off the strike. Negroes, led by Forbes Burnham, and Europeans headed by Portu- guese-descended Peter Daguiar in- dicate they are only waiting for another chance to topple Jagan. Political Opposition The political opposition to Jagan is based partly on anti-Commun- ism and partly on the ambitions of rival leaders. His enemies charge he would make a "Red hell" of British Guiana if it gained inde- pendence under his rule. He insists his plans are simply socialistic. The People's Progressive Party, which Jagan has led to victory at the polls since 1953, is largely made of of East Indians on the sugar estates and rice paddies of the interior. The Africans in Burn- ham's party predominate to such an extent in Georgetown that Jagan's party did not put up can- didates here in last August's elec- tion.. It was a hostile Georgetown which tried to force Jagan to re- sign under pressure of a general strike. Cover Deficit Jagan has proposed to cover a deficit and raise $13 million for economic development through in- creased import duties, lower in- come tax exemptions and a com- pulsory savings scheme under which the people would have to in- vest five per cent of income in WASHINGTON (AP) -President John F. Kennedy yesterday reject- ed Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush- chev's latest bid for a March summit conference and urged anew that the Soviet leader agree to a foreign ministers meeting on dis- armament. The President's letter in an- swer to Khrushchev's Feb. 22 mes- sage was dispatched to Moscow by the State Department. It was reported to have the approval of the British government. In his reply Kennedy rebutted Khrushchev's charge that the United States was insincere in its approachto the next round of dis- armament negotiations. Khrush- chev had leveled this allegation in a letter to Kennedy Thursday. Kennedy was also understood to have emphasized that in the view of the United States and its allies the critical issue in dis- armament is inspection to assure compliance with any arms cut agreements. Furthermore, the United States JAGAN GOVERNMA T10' U 1 T1 view is that this inspection must sent Thursday to Kennedy and apply to forces and weapons left British Prime Minister Harold in being as well as to those Macmillan insisting on Western eliminated in the disarmament agreement to a summit meeting process. seemed to have created some con- Khrushchev's 20-page letters fusion in allied ranks. W.World News Roundup By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-The atomic energy commission announced yes- terday the explosion of another nuclear device at its underground test site in Nevada. * * * JAKARTA-The air force chief of staff, Vice Marshal Omar Dhani, returned to Jakarta from Moscow yesterday and said he had "fulfilled pretty well" his mission to speed up Soviet arms deliveries to Indonesia. TOYKO-Communist China complained, by radio that a United States military plane intruded over the Paracel islands of Kwantung province yesterday. The broadcast said the country's 188th serious warning against such "United States military provocation" had been issued. [ENT: PREMIER CHEDDI JAGAN faces new problems government bonds. Jagan's critics argued against import duties as an indirect con- sumer's tax and said the lowering of income tax exemption to $600 a year would make even the common laborer with a minimum wage of $3 a day pay taxes. But underlying all this was ra- cial rivalry. When shots were fired and tear gas used on demonstra- tors, mainly Negroes, outside Ja- gan's headquarters, mobs vented their anger on the business houses of Indian merchants. British Troops Now the Negroes feel that only the presence of British troops is preventing Indian reprisals. One of their leaders says: "The country now is divided as never before. Portuguese Africans and Chinese will never accept complete rule under Jagan. If independence comes while he is in office, all Georgetown will burn." Daguiar, a rightist, and Burn- ham, an avowed non-Communist leftist, attribute the violence to Jagan's own party and its Pro- gressive Youth Organization pat- terned on the Young Communist League-of which Jagan's Chi- cago-born wife was a member. HILLEL SUPPER CLUB "Jagan called on the armed might of the United Kingdom to protect a Communist revolution," Daguiar said. "We lost a round in the battle." "Jagan brought troops to intimi- date us,' Burnham declared. Jagan indicated he planned to keep British troops here indefinite- ly to maintain order. He repeated an old charge ,that "funds have been coming from the United States-not necessarily from the government-to help Daguiar." He has pending a request for $100 million in official United States aid. Without Cuban purchases of rice, paid for by letters of credit, British Guiana would have suffered ser- ious depression, Jagan says. The premier said he plans to get "people of good will, predomi- nantly non-Indians," to appeal .against racial prejudice in an effort to heal the hostility between East Indians and Africans. "It is not I who has made the split," Jagan .said, "I have made all kinds of attempts in the past to heal this breach." a stunning collection of Pristine WINTER and 3-SEASON COATS Fine woos and beautiful cash- meres in wonderful colors.
