Red Chinese Faced Disaster In Spring, AUFS Expert Says
The Chinese Communist hierarchy came close to disaster this spring for the first time in their history, an expert on the Far East said yesterday.
Albert Ravenholt, American Universities Field Staff expert on the Far East, told the Faculty Club that during May and June Peking was really troubled. He said this was evident in three ways:
First, the National Peoples Congress met during the spring but did not hand down a budget. This is very important to an economy such as the Communists have, he said.
ALSO, THERE was no updating of the present five year plan or any planning of a new five year plan. Second, he said, food shortages were very evident to the outside world. Doctors who escaped from

THE RED CROSS was first brought into the Cuban picture last Thursday when Soviet First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan suggested to U.N. Acting Secretary General U Thant that the international body might supervise both the shipment of goods into Cuba through the American blockade and also the dismantling of Soviet missile bases there.
The Red Cross confirmed Saturday that it was prepared to use its good offices if all parties were in agreement but made no mention of supervising the dismantling of the bases. Today's statement was also silent on that subject.
Wheat at a Wedding?
The University may have to buy a combine to cut the grass in front of Danforth Chapel next summer.
When Ira Faulin, Ford graduate student whose family farms wheat in southwest Kansas, and Marcia Dicks, Prairie Village junior, were married Saturday in Danforth, the assembled friends didn't bother with rice.
They threw wheat.
Judge Cuts Off Liquor Supply
GUERNSEY, Channel Islands— (UPI)—When Joseph Wright, 76, appeared in court yesterday for the 160th time on a drunk and disorderly charge he expected his usual 35 cent fine.
The crusher came when the judge said he was " reluctant to rob you of the pleasure you get out of drink" and put him on the "black list" - banning him from all saloons on the island for one year.

the mainland reported famine running rampant all over the country.
These doctors reported to Ravenholt that the birth of children was being seriously hampered and that the mortality rate of babies was very high. Also, that many Chinese people had diseases related to lack of food.
THE THIRD EVIDENCE of trouble in Peking was that the people were for the first time openly voicing their views against the government, he said.
Riots were occurring on the mainland and people were escaping to Hong Kong. In addition, a break in Peking was apparent. Mao Tse-Tung was making frequent trips around the mainland trying to restore organization in his country.
RAVENHOLT SAID, "previous to the event last spring I thought the Reds were in China for keeps, but now I have doubts about it."
He said the fate of China may lie in the hands of the peasants.
When the Communists first came to power they took the land away from the peasants and then gave it
back to them according to their needs. The peasants were satisfied. Ravenholt said.
But then, he said, Peking told them to pool their work efforts, land and tools. Peking said that this was the last change they would impose on the people.
BUT IT WAS NOT, Ravenholt said. They imposed the commun system on the peasants. They then started a campaign to erase from China the peasants' religion — Confucianism.
The Communist regime destroyed their religious shrines and temples, he said. It leveled all graves and used some of the contents for fertilizer.
Because of all this, Ravenholt said, the peasants turned to massive passive resistance. It culminated this spring in the riots and the refugees who fled Red China.
Ravenholt said a friend who interviewed Mao Tse-Tung recently told him that Mao is a politician of great ability and that his ideas were good when the Communists took over China, but that these ideas were no longer beneficial.

equipment which Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev has promised to take back to Russia.
The types of ships and how close they were to the U.S. Navy blockade area were not disclosed.
A number of other Soviet bloc vessels were in Cuban ports when the blockade began. According to one estimate about 20 bloc ships now are there. Soviet diplomats, however, have indicated that Russia will have to send more vessels to pick up all the equipment.
U. S. AERIAL reconnaissance has shown that Soviet military officials in Cuba have been dismantling the missile sites, but newsmen here have been given no information yet on whether any of the equipment is being loaded aboard ship.
Officials would not say what the U.S. blockade policy would be on Soviet vessels proceeding to Cuba to pick up equipment before international inspection procedures can be negotiated.
Nor would they discuss whether any vessels carrying nonmilitary cargoes have been cleared through the blockade to Cuba in recent days.
The atmosphere in Washington yesterday was in sharp contrast to the previous two Sundays. Secretary of State Rusk went to his office yesterday but only for what was described as work on some "odds and ends." Few other officials were seen at their desks.
JUST TWO WEEKS earlier, Washington was filled with an air of mystery and tension as the President was getting ready to announce the U.S. naval blockade of Cuba.
Yesterday also was remarkably quiet in comparison with Sunday a week earlier when Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev suddenly announced he had ordered the removal of the Russian bases in Cuba.
It could have been that U.S. officials were marking time momentarily pending the outcome of Havana talks between Soviet First Deputy Premier Mikoyan and Castro.

In Bombay, meanwhile, a wave of panic selling prompted by Red China's border invasion caused the local stock exchange to suspend trading today. The exchange was declared officially closed until further notice just 40 minutes after today's opening.

INDIAN DEFENSE officials said they are now better prepared to stop any new Communist drive in the western NEFA area.
Informed Indian officials said the Chinese advance was so rapid they apparently outran their supply lines and have paused the last few days to consolidate and bring up reinforcements.
(Observers in London speculated the Bombay selling wave may have been sparked by news that India's five - year - economic development was being cut back due to the emergency.)
The sources said the Chinese are using the old caravan route from Tibet by which the Dalai Lama fled during his escape from Communist oppression in 1959.

Sporadic fighting and artillery and mortar exchanges have been reported in the vicinity of Jang, five miles east of Towang, ever since. Jang straddles a strategic jeep track which leads south into the Assam Flains and Tezpur itself.
THE WEEKEND conference, devoted primarily to discussion of disaster medical care after a nuclear war, attracted 350 physicians and key civil defense leaders from the United States, Canada, and Europe.
"There is little place for heroic treatment. It is preferable to utilize the available treatment potentialities for those who require the least treatment and can perform the most work." they reported.
Indian defense ministry officials reported that Indian troops repelled a Chinese probing attack near the administration center of Walong, at the eastern end of the NEFA border near Burma.
