B. K. Nehru Castigates Reds; Indian Students' Help Asked
By Vinay Kothari
Indian Ambassador B. K. Nehru has urged Indian students in America to return home as soon as possible after completing their studies because of the Sino-Indian conflict.
The ambassador made the plea to Indian nationals abroad in a message in "India News," an Indian Embassy publication.
Nehru said trained mer are needed to combat 'raw, naked aggression by the People's Republic of China — a country towards which we extended the hand of friendship.
"AS CITIZENS OF INDIA we must now prepare to sacrifice for the sake of our freedom all that we can," Nehru wrote, "for it is our very survival as a free people that is at stake."
Trip Approval Still Sought
The International Club has contacted the Mexican embassy in Washington, D.C., in their third attempt to obtain permission for foreign students from 46 countries to enter Mexico.
The club has previously contacted the Mexican consulate in Kansas City and sent a letter—as yet unanswered—to the Mexican Minister of Immigration in Mexico City. The consulate refused the club's request and has predicted that they will receive a reply to their letter early in December.
Helmut Rechlet, German graduate student, and Fritz Gatzin, Swiss graduate student, think the date of the expected reply from Mexico will be too late. Helmut appealed to the Mexican embassy for this reason.
Gysin said that one-third of the people signed up for the Christmas vacation trip to Mexico would be affected by the Mexican ruling. He added that the deadline for bus reservations is Thursday. The club hopes to have a definite decision by then.

She has sung in West Germany under the sponsorship of the State Department, with the New York City Center Opera and in summer theatre presentations.
Kleinberg to Speak At Chemistry Meeting
Jacob Kleinberg, Professor of chemistry, will speak on "Some Inorganic Syntheses at Moderately Elevated Temperatures" Nov. 19 at Wayne State University, Detroit, Mich.
Prof. Kleinberg, at the invitation of the Kresge-Hooker Science Library Associates, will speak at a lecture of the "Frontiers of Chemistry Series," which presents some of the top chemists in America.
"While you are abroad you should contribute your utmost to our effort for victory," he wrote.
He wrote that citizens of India living abroad share the same responsibility as those at home "in this great task."
He urged the students to contribute to the National Defense Fund of India, a collection branch for monetary contributions which has been opened in the embassy.
COMMENTING ON the Chinese invasion of Northeast India, Nehru wrote that the Chinese "chose some time ago to dispute the validity of the existing boundary between our country and theirs." He wrote that "the reasons are incomprehensible to us."
"This boundary, the traditional and customary one, has been recognized in various treaties and agreements.
"In terms of law and morality, our stand is fully justified and there is no reason why we should surrender even the smallest portion of
the territory that has always belonged to us.
"FROM THE VERY beginning of this dispute we had never stinted any effort to arrive at a peaceful solution through negotiation.
"Our goodwill and our peaceful intentions have been countered with massive deceit. While talking of negotiations, China has prepared for aggression and has launched a totally unprovoked massive armed invasion against us.
"THE TIME has now come upon us when we must no longer cherish any illusions. We have a record of unremitting struggle for independence for nearly a century," Nehru wrote.
FORT WAYNE, IND. — (UPI) — Herschel D. Newsom, Master of the national Grange, told the opening session of the farm group's 95th annual meeting today that it must reddouble its drive to promote freer international trade.
He said that Indians are once again fighting for freedom, but now against an unsercupulous adversary. "Our struggle will be far more fierce and will probably take an immense toll in terms of blood, sweat and tears," he said. "We must face this with a sense of urgency and realism."
Grange Urged to Promote Freer International Trade
Newsmaintains that relatively high domestic prices are necessary to keep the farm economy in step with American wage levels.
At the same time, Newsom said, the Grange must continue its campaign to promote its "domestic parity" theory for federal farm programs, and must demand government action to protect U.S. farm exports to the European Common Market.
FOR COMMODITIES which go to both domestic and foreign markets, the "domestic parity" idea involves relatively high prices for domestic sales and lower world-market levels on export sales.
"To assume that prices and wages in America must be brought down, either in agriculture or out of agriculture, toward levels that world commerce would determine would be rank error," he said in his prepared address. Grange policy he said, was aimed at matching the economic devices which keep U.S. industrial prices above world levels.

NEWSOM added, however, that it would be "rank insolationism" to maintain a one-price structure for farm commodities because of the food needs of the people of under-developed nations.
