Nehru Says Reds To Stand Firm On Mig Promise
NEW DELHI — (UPI) — Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said today that Russia definitely will live up to its promise to ship jet fighters to India and establish a MIG factory in this country.
Nehru said there may be some delay in delivery of the first fighters because of the Cuban and general world situations — not Red China — but there is "no question of the Soviet Union backing out of its commitments."
DEFENSE Minister Y. B. Chavan supported this.
"The Soviet Union has agreed to supply some MIGs in December or a little later, some next year and some later," Chavan declared.
He did not give any figures.
"There is some little difficulty about the delivery," he said, "that has nothing to do with China but the whole situation, particularly in the Caribbean Sea."
Nehru said press reports that the MIG contract had been withdrawn by the Soviets because of Chinese opposition were in error.
Meanwhile, in Washington, informed sources said today that W. Averell Harriman told President Kennedy India's border struggle with Red China will probably be a long one requiring long-term military aid.
Harriman, the assistant Secretary of State for Asian Affairs, reported to Kennedy yesterday on his two-week mission to India and Pakistan.
SOURCES SAID that nearly all Indian officials Harriman encountered regarded the dispute as a long-term Chinese assault on the Indian way of life, rather than a relatively simple border affair.
Officials said no U.S. decision has been formally reached yet on whether to contribute the aid that would be necessary for a long-range strengthening of Indian armed forces.
State and defense department officials who accompanied Harriman said it would be difficult for the United States to give either India or Pakistan long-term military aid until they settle their troubles over Kashmir. However, sources said a Kashmir agreement was not made a flat condition for aid.
Teller Says Fallout Fear Exaggerated
NEW YORK — UPI) — Dr. Edward Teller, "father" of the H-bomb, said last night that current fear of fallout from nuclear testing is exaggerated and unnecessary and must be distinguished from the real dangers of radiation.
"In the process of clarification, the health professions should play a significant part," the scientist told the 38th annual Greater New York dental meeting.
Teller emphasized that the worldwide fallout "amounts to only a few per cent of the natural background radiation" to which all living persons and their ancestors from the beginning of time have been exposed.
Earlier in the day, Teller received the Atomic Energy Commission's Enrico Fermi Award for 1962 from President Kennedy at the White House.

Rupen Talks On Mongolia
Mongolian patriotism and nationalism is strong, despite that country's location between the two giants of the Communist bloc, the Soviet Union and Red China, one of few westerners ever to visit Outer Mongolia said last night.
PROF. RUPEN, who has published more and in greater detail than any other authority on Mongolia, said the study of Mongolian affairs was becoming more popular.
Robert A. Rupen, associate professor of political science spoke in the KU Lecture Series in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
"MONGOLIA, sandwiched between Russia and Red China, lives in constant threat of being swallowed up by one or the other," Prof. Rupen said. "One thing that has protected them has been their strong feeling of independence.
"The Mongols want more association with the West, perhaps because they hope it will save them from being absorbed by the USSR or by Communist China," he said.
He contradicted the notion of the Mongolian as an unsophisticated, backward person who contributes little to 20th century culture. He read a letter he had received from one of Mongolia's leading intellectuals, criticizing the government of that nation, and especially its policy of censorship.
The Mongolian People's Republic, the country's official name, has a population of one million people, spread over land area one-fifth the size of the United States. Its distinguishing "claim to fame" reports Prof. Rupen, is that it boasts more animals per capita than any other nation in the world.
Lawrence Master Plan To Consider KU Needs
The comprehensive plan will take two years to complete and will deal with business and social life in Lawrence.
Future KU needs will receive major attention in the master plan now being prepared for Lawrence.
David Condon, resident planner with the Harland Bartholomew Company, said Friday that KU housing and trafficways will receive top interest from his office.
HOUSING WILL be approached from the standpoint of zoning regulations and predicted enrollments.
Based upon the studies of existing land use and the plans for future land use and population, suggestions will be offered for any necessary amendments to present zoning regulations.
Data will be assembled from existing records on the campus street system to determine right-of-way width and paving width on the primary thoroughfares.
A plan will be prepared showing the system of major streets and highways required to serve existing and future development.
CONDON WAS reluctant to mention other areas of interest at KU, but said that any comprehensive plan would have to deal with so large an institution as KU in detail. Condon's first of six reports will appear in March.
The first report will deal principally with economic base studies, existing land use, and population studies.
The major economic factors affecting the growth of Lawrence will be analyzed, including economic history, employment trends, trade area impact, and transportation facilities.
A FIELD SURVEY of existing uses of land within the planning area and outside the city limits will also
Research Grant To Prof. Mesler
Russell B. Mesler, associate professor of chemical engineering, has received a $34,000 grant for the study of heat transfer in boiling water from the National Science Foundation.
It is hoped the research will contribute to the design of liquid cooling systems, including those in liquid-fueled rockets and nuclear reactors.
The grant is one of the first awarded to the University's new Center for Research, Inc. by the foundation. Graduate students Thomas Rogers, Galena, and Milford Johnson, Iola, will assist Messer.
be made. This will require an exterior inspection of each property and the recording of each type of use found. From this, and from the existing land use maps of the city area, maps will be prepared giving a graphic picture of present development.
Population studies will also be made of past trends in the location of urban growth and of distribution and density of population. Based on the economic studies, an estimate will be made of population growth to 1985.
Vicarage a Chilling Place
QUARFORD, England — (UPI)
The Rev. Thomas Watson, 64, Anglican vicar, said today he would rather retire than spend another winter in his vicarage.
The 200-year-old house is so vulnerable that snow drifts pile up in front of his living room television set, he said.
