Calling on the people to havefaith and full confidence, he s lid.no important part of the nation's five-year economic plan will he reduced. But he declared everything wall lie sacrificed if necessary to save Indian freedom.Nehru’s warning ami call for national sacrifice was sounded as Indian defense spokesmen announced that Mao Tze-tung’s Chinese warriors had opened a newfront in the area of Rima 'formerly Chayu), only about 20 miles northwest of Burma's Ixir-der.This is at the extreme eastern end of India’s northern frontiers and 1,400 cnow-flight miles from the western front in Ladakh.Near Pangong Lake in Southeastern Ladakh whose brackish waters are nearly 11,000 feet high, Indians lost four out of five defense posts, one of them to an attack by Chinese tanks, the Indiansreported.CHINESE TIIKEATIn this drive the Chinese were threatening Chushul, site of In dla's only landing strip In thearea.In the entire Ladakh area theIndians lost eight outposts by capture and seven others by evacuation.There were signs, too, of an impending attack at Ltngju, in the center of the northeastern sector, where the Chinese were reported concentrating a powerful force. jAlthough the fighting was spreading and apparently growingin intensity, there was still no iword to casualties although they have been reported heavy on bothsides.TROI BEE SPOTSIndian reports listed these six trouble spots from east to west:• Rima — The Chinese attacked at Kibitoo, apparently just south of Rima near the Luhit River.Fighting was continuing but no information was given on troop positions .• I/mgju — New Chinese concentrations spotted.

There are only about 1,000 general admission tickets left in Houston.perhaps at such flashpoints as: Laos, South Viet Nam, and Formosa. jThere was no immediate reaction from Prime Minister Fide!Castro s regime.One neutralist informant called Kennedy's measures shortsighted. He said that with the hot potato having been thrown over to Khrushchev,” Kennedy’s measures may turn the Soviet leaderaway from his avowed policy of peaceful coexistence to the more rigid and drastic cold war line of the Communist Chinese.SOVIETS SUPRISEDIt appeared that the Kennedy announcement caught most of the Soviet bloc personnel here by sur prise.It was said in some circles thatif the Kennedy proclamation is carried out to the letter and the Communists try to maintain their present sea traffic to Cuba, the situation could result in war, global or local.”Activity at the Armed Forces Ministry seemed busier than usual, and a tank covered with canvas was stationed a block away. A motor column of seven field guns also rolled out of Havana toward the west.But Cubans in Havana appeared largely undisturbed by developments, and Havana radio stations dished out their usual serving of old American tunes. Havana television’s first offering of the daywas an old Hollywood Western entitled: They Passed This Way.”Canada said it has stopped Soviet planes bound for Cuba and the Caribbean from landing at Canadian air bases, such as Gander, Nfld.State Department officials prepared a formal proclamation to be issued Tuesday after the OASaction.Kennedy used the word quarantine” to describe the naval ring around Cuba, since blockade” implies an act of war.

Why didhe wait so long?”Jaime Guevara of Amhato, Ecuador, said, President Kennedy s valiant action w ill receive the support of the civilized classes in Latin America, particularly in Ecuador.I don’t know much aboutCommunist doctrine, but 1don't think \ou have to know much to understand why people flee from countries controlled by the Russians.TIME WILL PROVEThere will be, of course, adverse reactions here and there, but time and history will prove Kennedy’s audacious attitude to ha\e been the right one.”Fabuloso” and formidavel” were he two Portuguese adjectives Ruth Oliveira of Rio de Janeiro used to describe the Kennedy speech.
