India Wants Clarification Of Red Offer To End Border War

NEW DELHI, India (AP)India has asked Red China to clarl-fy several points of its offer t settle the undeclared Himalayan border war, the Foreign Ministry said today.

A spokesman said Foreign Secretary M. J. Desai summtHied the Chinese charge daffaires in New Delhi Friday and put to him several points about Chinas cease-fire proposal which required clarification. He said the Chinese diplomat is obtaining clarification from Peking.

The Foreign Ministry sp(^es-man declined to say what the points were.

Red China ordered its troops In the disputed border areas to cease-fire' last Wednesday. It promised to pull its troops back on Dec. 1 to a point 12Vi miles behind what it described as the line of actual control.

The Indian spokesman said the Chinese proposals are still under consideration, although Prime

Minister Nehru has Indicated he would not accept the Chinese terms. By acceptance, tte Indians wduld have to give up claim to 12.000 square miles of disputed territory in Ladakh" on Indias northwestern border with China.

Nehru has indicated he believes the border fighting will erupt again and that he wants Chinese troops off what he considers Indian soil.

The Indians were believed taking advantage of the Chinese cease-fire to bolster their military strength.

.S. and British mitary aid! missions here continued their appraisals of Indias long-range military needs,

Nehru again predicted a l(Hig struggle with Red China as the Himalayan fronts remained quiet for the third day under the ceasefire.

In a message addressed to a youth rally Friday, Nehru warned ills nation a long struggle and

a difficult (me, and we must not imagine that the struggle will be over soon because of various diplomatic moves.

The reference to various diplomatic moves presumably included the Peking offer, under which both sides would pull back 12V^ miles from what China calls the actual control line. If India agreed to the pullback, it would have to give up 12,000 square miles it claims in Ladakh oa the nortrwestem frcmtier.

But Nehru said India may seek clarification of certain aspects of the Chinese offer.

Red China indicated it wanted no stalling. A New China News Agency broadcast quoted Chen Yi, Chinese deputy premier and foreign minister, as saying he hoped India would reply quickly and positively.

A Peking offer to Indias angry neighbor. Pakistan, to enter into a mutual n<maggressi(Hi pact was

reported from Rawalpindi where the Pakistani parliament has been in an emergency session debating about the British and American arms being rushed to India.

The Pakistanis fear that American and British weapons sent to India ultimately will be used to beef up Indian forces in a showdown with Pakistan over Kashmir.

The Red Chinese appeared to be engaged in an effort to pull Pakistan out of its pro-Western alliances.

India c(Hitinued reinforcing her positions facing the Chinese invaders. Red China was believed doing likewise.

Reporters at the Indian army headquarters town of Tezpur near thi northeastern front reported more tro<H)s were moving up to the Himalayan foothills.

At the same time, stragglers from an Indian divisicai cut off above Bomdila by the Chinese

last weekend were reaching the plains on foot. Many reportedly carried weapons with them.

In Ladakh, an Indian spokesman reported the Chinese lost 800 men killed or wounded when they attacked Indian posts near Chu-shul Alrfleld in Ladakh last Sunday.

Gen. Paul D. Adams, head ot the U.S. strike command that stands ready in the United States for deployment to world trouble spots, told newsmen he hoped to inspect forward areas in the Himalayas. He is the top-ranking mili tary man in the B. aid mission.

Duncan Sandys, British Com-monwesdth secretary, arrived in New Delhi today to take over leadership of the British aid mission.

Reds Seek Pakistan Pact; Minister To Visit Peking

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (AP)-Communlst China has offered to sign a non-aggression pact with Pakistan, informed sources said today. The offer was made in a note from Peking to President Mohammad Ayub Khans government.

Pakistans Foreign Minister Mohammad Ali refused to comment on the report. But he said he had received and accepted an offer from Premier Chou En-lai to visit China at an early date.

Ali made the remark to newsmen in the lobby of Parliament House, There was no conunent Immediately from any other official source.

Reliable parliamentary informants said, however, that the report was correct and that the Chinese offer was not being considered by the goveniment.

The Karachi English-language

DaUy Dawn carried the prominently. It said a point of the proposed pact was an offer by China to help Pakistan against aggression from any quarter.

It added that the Chinese had raised no objection to Pakistan remaining a member of the pro-Western CENTO and SEATO alliances if such a pact were signed.

The reported offer came during an emergency session of the Pakistani National Assembly, which has heard strong criticism of the United States and Britain, Pakistans allies, for rushing arms to India.

Pakistan feels these arms are a threat to her. Some Pakistanis, in the disillusionment with the Western powers, have been talking of adopting neutralism as a policy.

JFK, Macmillan Meet Is Expected

/

By LEWIS GULICK

WASHINGTON AP)President Kennedy and British Prime Minister Harcdd Macmillan are expected to meet so<mi for a wide-ranging review of world affairs In a time of change.

Western strategists still are un-ure of what lies beyond what Kennedy has termed a possibly Important turning point in East-West relations. But they are agreed on the need to have the United States and Great Britain chart their course together.

Britain and the United States are both Involved in major unresolved Issues on the international scenethe Indla-Chlna dispute, Berlin, disarmament and the Congo.

Both American and British sources agreed Friday on the likelihood of a Kennedy-Macmil-lan meeting in the near future, but said an exact time and place has not yet been worked out. London informants said Macmillan expects to cross the Atlantic shortly after Christmas.

At Hyannls Port, Mass., where Kennedy is spending a long Thanksgiving weekend, assistant presidential press secretary Andrew Hatcher would say only that it Is highly probable that the two leaders will get together s(Mne time soon.

Meetings between the American and British government heads are comparatively frequent. Kennedy and Macmillan have gotten together five times since Kennedy took office last year, the latest occasion being a visit by Macmillan to Washington last April.

The Washington consensus Is that the President and the prime minister wUl be surveying a scene of great and unpredictable change In world events.

Harlan Cleveland, in a speech Friday night at Philadelphia, gave what aides described as a sum-up of U.S. government thinking (HI the current situaticm in the aftermath of the climactic U.S.-Soviet confrontation over Cuba. In words that tended to sound optimistic on future prospects, Cleveland assessed the international situaticHi this way:

report fire on the border with India and the offer of a tro<H) pullback has bolstered the Pakistani view that the present Indian-Chlna conflict is only a temporary flareup which merits no Western assistance to India.

In the debate today, the United States was accused of making a local border affair between India and China into an expanding full-fledged global war for its own benefit.

The accusation was made by Sardar Bahadur Khan, brother of Presidit Ajmb Khan and leader of the opposition.

He said the supplying of arms to India disregarded Pakistan's safety and security.

Khan said the Pakistan government should change its foreign policy, become neutral and withdraw from CENTO, SEATO and other pacts immediately.

He advocated a policy of friendship with all nationsCommunist or capitalist.

Khan was supported by the governments parliamentary secretary, Abdul Hai Chaudhri, and by the opposition right-wing religious leader Farid Ahmed.

Farid quoted a letter from Chinese Premier Chou En-lai addressed to heads of Afro-Asian Asian governments and circulated by the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan Friday night.

The letter, Farid said, made it clear that long before the border clashes between India and China started India was provoking China. The letter said China

Death on the nations highways continued to mount today as the 102-hour Thanksgiving holiday entered its third day.

Traffic accidents involving more than one fatality increased the death toll.

There were no National Safety Council estimates for the holiday, which ends at midnight Sunday. A council spokesman said traffic Is not as heavy on Thanksgiving as other holiday periods, although he said 480 persons would normally die in traffic accidents during a Thursday to Sunday span.

An Associated Press survey of accidental deaths for the 102-hour i

period from 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 7, to midnight Sunday, Nov.^ 11, showed 458 highway fatalities. The survey also showed 30 killed in fires and 113 deaths in miscellaneous deaths, an overall total of 602.

Last year 457 persons died on the highways during the Thanksgiving holiday. Fires claimed 40 lives and 105 persons died in miscellaneous accidents for a total of 602.

The grant will be supplemented by Greenville Utilities funds totalling $306,0(X). Rep, Bonner said the projects are expected to be placed under construction within one and a half months and will provide an estimated 328 man-months of local labor. 'The total cost of the projects will be $591,000.

Rep. Bonner said the payment of the federal grant is contingent upon the receipt of firm and binding assurance of the availability of the applicants project cost share.

The federal grant which Rep. Bonner announced involves only Utilities water and sewer projects. The Utilities Commission made application for the funds shortly after the program, for which Congress appropriated $400 million, was gotten underway.

'The City Council also made separate application for nearly $200,000 in matching federal funds to carry out drainage, street and fire department projects. This grant has not yet been approved.

ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (AP)-The unaccountable crash of a United Air Lines Viscount puzzled experts today as they tnvesUgated the tangled wreckage* in which 17 persons died.

All aboard perished in the crash and fire Friday of Plight 297, en route from Newark, N.J., to Atlanta, Ga., via Washington, D.C.

The Civil Aeronautics Board, Federal Aviation Agency. Uni|di and Airline Pilots Association representatives met today to organize their Investigation.

The crash of the four-engine turbo-prop airliner occurred in bright sunshine about 10 miles southwest of Baltimore. Ed Slattery of the CAB said, We are concerned because there was no weather connected with the crash.

Another piece in the puzzle was the report from the FAA that the Viscounts veteran pilot, Capt. Milton J. Balog, 39, apparently had no hint of approaching tragedy.

The FAA said radio communications with the plane as it prepared to land at Washington shortly after noon Friday were entirely routine. The FAA said Balog had acknowledged instructions only three minutes before the Viscount, capable of carrying 44 passengers, disappeared from the radar scope monitoring its approach.

Witnesses said the plane suddenly nosed sharply into wooded farmland owned by Clark Gaither in Howard County. The descent of the airplane was so steep that It cut only a small swath through the hardwood forest.

The plane looked like it was in trouble when I first saw it, said Gaither, Wings were fluttering and the body quivered.

Thomas Jenkins, special agent in charge of the FBI office in Baltimore, said the FBI sent a disaster squad to help identify the victims and for no other purpo.se.

Three hours after the crash, investigators retrieved from the smoking wreckage the flight recorder, a mechanism encased in a shatterproof steel ball. It keeps track of the planes altitude, speed and other data. The flight record was expected to play an important part in the investigati(m.

RALEIGH (AP)Several weeks ago Edwin S. Lanier began delving into what he described as a rotten stinking mess.

Hearings that followed before Lanier, who was appointed state insurance commissioner several months ago, proved that he was not exaggerating, and they brought more earthy comments from the new state official.

One time he became exasperated with an insurance man he felt waa being evasive and accused him of filling the air with goose feathers.

Another time he hinted broadly to the lawyer for an Atlanta in-lurance firm that it was in danger^ loting the right to operate In North Carolina.

He said the company. Southern Genei*al Insurance Co., had better atraighten up, but I don't know how long it wUl fly right in

North Carolina.

Another witness testimony prompted Lanier to assert that every company I hear from is lily white. But Im about as naive to some of the facts as Brer Rab-bltt who was thrown in the briar patch.

Near the conclusion of the series of hearings, 'he indicated they would be followed by action, saying The public is beginning to wcMider if Edwin Lanier is going to hold powder puff hearings for a month.

Laniers hearings showed clearly that some highly questionable practices have sprung up aibund the state law which, to effect, required every motorist to carry liability insurance on his automobile. He heard testimony that a host of firms have gone into the business of extending motorists credit for the payment of auto

liability premiums at interest rates ranging from 50 to 100 per cent. Lanier also found that the states small loan law does not cover such transactions and the Interest charges are completely unregulated.

He has said he will ask the 1963 General Assembly to provide such regulation.

Lanier al.so found that many motorists, who could not afford to pay cash for their liability insurance premiums, were being sold memberships in auto clubs. Witnesses denied that thfey required customers to buy the auto club memljersldps In order to get liability insurance, but Lanier said he could not under-stand how persons who had to borrow to pay

Several agents told Lanier that Dean Smith, then an official of Easteni Underwriters, histructed them that if the motorists did not have the points to manufacture ithem. Indications were that hundreds of policies were sold through the addition of bogus points.

Some of the agents said they always told their customers about the extra points and advjped them they could obtain Insurance to a few days through the assigned risk plan at lower rates. But, they .said, the motorists were .so eager for Insurance that tliey took the points and the tog tier rates.

T Lanier and other insurance department officials, all this adds jup to widespread public inlsun-jderstandlng about the auto liability insurance laws.

Some seem to think that they

have to pay more for insurance brought under the assigned risk plan than that bought through ordinary channels. Lanier said this is not true. Under the law, rates are suppased to be the same.

Lanier said many other motor-Lsts seem to feel there is a stigma attached to the assigned risk insurance.

But a host of those who accepted bogus violation pouits and bought their insurance from Southern General apparently did 50 because they thought it would take con.siderable time to get their insurance under as.slsined risk, 'ibis, too. appears to be some-tnuig thats e.xaggerated in the motorlst.s minds.

Throughout his investigation, Lanier has emphasized that the insurance industry as a whole isnt mixed up with the abuses he has uncovered and neither is it a reflection on the many, many good agent.s.

Lanier, a 61 year old Georgia native, came IntJ state goveni iut-nt about a year ago to head up the Stale Personnel Department, The governor moved him over to the insurance post a few months later upon the death of

Charles F. Gold. Before that, he had served a couple of terms in the State Senate and had been mayor of Chapel Hill for several years.

But, literally thousands of North Carolinians remember Lanier best as the man who helped them to get an education at the University of North Carolina where he served for many yca.va as director of student aid. His job was to help students find self - help jobs, assist them in getting scholarships and arranging loans for them as director of student loans funds.
