(Continued from page 1) tillery, communications and transport equipment.
There was no indication that American military men would follow immediately, save for a relatively few advisers.
Most of the equipment will come by plane and ship from Germany and the United States. Galbraith said American aircraft are standing by in Turkey, ready to pick up mountain guns promised to India by the Turkish government.
"It may be some time before these guns are here because of the problem of getting them to airports." Galbraith said of the Turkish weapons.
BRITIAN ALREADY is giving military aid to India, and Canada is expected to join in shortly.
As the western powers moved into the breach to help the Indians, it was disclosed that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev sent a letter to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru through the Russian Ambassador to New Delhi.
A foreign office spokesman declined to comment on the contents of the Khrushchev letter, although it may indicate present Soviet views on the Chinese-Indian undeclared war over their disputed border. Thus far, Moscow has indicated it is siding with Peiping.
ON THE ACTUAL fighting fronts high in the Himalayan Mountains, where the snows of winter are beginning to cover the battlefield, things were quiet again today.
Galbraith, in announcing the start of the American flow of arms aid, warned repeatedly at a news conference against "too high expectations associated with this equipment."
HE EXPRESSED the fear common among Americans here by warning against "disillusionment" if the arrival of U.S. arms did not immediately turn the border war in favor of India, whose forces have lost 2,000 to 2,500 men and have been sent reeling back before the Red onslaught.
"As far as I know," Galbraith said, "American instructors will not be needed to train Indian troops to handle the newly-arriving weapons."
He said the first jetloads would be "light infantry equipment," but when asked about the possibility of India receiving aircraft as well, he said: "Military transport is certainly a possibility."
Used in such a frame of reference, transport could mean anything from planes and trucks through ships and railroad rolling stock.
Galbraith described the incoming weapons as what are "most immediately needed for the soldiers fighting up in the mountains."
Cuban Showdown Has Some Beneficial Effects

UPI Foreign News Analyst Since Soviet missiles still are in Cuba and the agreement to remove them still could come unglued, any attempt to look on the bright side of the Cuban crisis must remain in the category of wishful thinking.
But here are some hopeful possibilities already being discussed:
- The display of U.S. determination reduced the possibility of war by miscalculation and could result in a more conciliatory Soviet approach to world problems.
- Khrushchev's proposal that United Nations inspection teams might witness the removal of Soviet missiles in Cuba could lead to agreement on similar inspection of suspected nuclear test sites and therefore to agreement on a nuclear test ban.
- The narrowly averted head-on collision between the two nuclear
Vox-
(Continued from page 1)
The Vox president said another plank calling for full cooperation between Greeks and Independents was "very commendable."
"It is something with which we have never had any trouble," he added.
ANOTHER PLANK which criticized the inactivity of the Human Rights Committee brought the following response:
"Jerry Dickson, all student body president, appointed a Human Rights Committee coordinator at the beginning of the year," Wilson pointed out. "I'm sure UP knew about this."
"We never tell our members how to vote" was Wilson's reply to a UP plank advocating a merit commission to insure impartiality in the appointment of persons to ASC committees.
In regard to UP's proposal to conduct a Student Educational Campaign (SPEC), Wilson said the ASC Public Relations committee performs the same function.
"THE COMMITTEE plans to send out letters to each living group to see if they want a speaker," Wilson said.
UP's final plank which proposed a fund from ASC to each class was termed "a ridiculous statement" by the Vox president.
"I DON'T FEEL it is a question of money. It didn't work last year," he said, citing the freshman party.
Mike Harris, Shawnee Mission senior, summed up the UP platform as "75 per cent verbose and 25 per cent old planks.
He also criticized UP for not giving Vox more than 24-hours notice in the Lewis and Hashinger debates. He attributed their failure to poor organization on the University Party's part.
giants clearly illustrated to other nations, including Great Britain, that they could expect to be informed but not consulted in any conflict of national interests between the two biggest powers.
It therefore emphasized the importance of early British entry into the European Economic Community and for development of a strongly United Europe able to speak with a voice of its own.
- While the U.S. action appeared to by-pass the U.N., both the U.S. and the Soviet Union willingly accepted U.N. services, thus giving rise to the possibility the U.N. might be able to function as an intermediary in big conflicts as well as small ones.
While the chances for less U.S.-Soviet tension must remain in the realm of wishful thinking for the moment, the possibility received some impetus through agreement between President Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev that they have important matters to discuss.
British Prime Minister MacMillan said it well in the House of Commons Tuesday. Calling for restoration of confidence in a divided world, he said:
"We must not be cynical. You cannot live in a world which has nothing but suspicion, as it becomes almost intolerable."
Statewide Activities-
(Continued from page 1) Statewide Activities and the creation of a Speakers' Bureau was made well before the UP platform."
"IF THE NEW chairman is so well organized, why has he waited until now to select county chairman, and why haven't alleged Statewide Activities improvements been brought to attention before?," replied Miss Lane.
"The plank in the UP platform has
forced the committee (Statewide Activities) to take some action at last." Stewart added. "This is good because this is what UP is calling for—revitalization of ASC committees."
Stewart criticized the Vox platform for dealing with "petty issues while UP is dealing with long range ideas."
