A Defense Ministry spokesman acknowledged heavy Indian casualties since the Reds launched their offensive Saturday but claimed We have inflicted heavier casualties on the aggressors.FIGHT TO THE DEATHNehru, long an exponent of passive resistance in India’s fight for independence from Britain, setthe stage for a fight to death against the Cliinese, whom he acrused of massive aggression.Speaking to government information ministers.

Kennedy said his ambassador, Adlai E. Stevenson, is ready’ todiscuss promptly these arrange-with y’ou.One White House authority said this means the blockade will continue while the possibilities of a peaceful settlement are explored. He said ‘ There are still Soviet ships headed toward Cuba and the only way this government can get precise information on some of these ships or the cargo they arccarrying is through the quarantine.MM MCoeds' Last ChanceSHIP NOT BOARDEDSeveral hour* after the Bucharest was given clearance to re-ume its voyage to Cub a.

Sylvester said the appearance of the tanker floating low in the water and theabsence of any special hatches orunusual design convinced the Navy captain who intercepted theBucharest that she w a s loadedwith oil—not a prohibited offensive weapon item.Sylvester said the US blockading ship came reasonably close to the Bucharest and there wasan exchange between the twoskippers. He declined to definereasonably close or to say whether the exchange was by radio,visual signal or some othermethod.This tanker, Sylvester said, is the only Communist vessel to have passed through the quarantine so far as I know.”Sylvester declined to say how many Russian ships are still lxund for Cuba 6r whether any more have been sighted headed that way. He refused to say too how far US ships and planes follow craft after they turn about. Nor w’ould he indicate where con tact with the ships mentioned was first established.Asked whether the dozen Soviet vessels which were reported to have turned around were headed, Sylvester replied: I haven t any idea—as long as they don’t go to Cuba.' He added that the Navy is satisfied they ve definitely turned back.tinnnlnni
