Chinese Troops Continue Surge
NEW DELHI — (UPI) — Chinese Communist troops have smashed their way into the monastery town of Tawang, an Indian spokesman announced today. It was the biggest victory to date for the Reds in their border war with India.
The town fell last night to a "three-prong attack" by the Chinese after "bitter fighting in the outskirts," the spokesman said.
TAWANG IS A major Buddhist religious center and caravan stop in the North East frontier agency, southwest of the principal Indian border post of Dhola which fell to Chinese attacks previously. It is 15 miles south of the Tibetan border near Bhutan.
THE SPOKESMAN also said yesterday another Red Chinese force was moving toward Lumpu, 12 miles west of Tawang, with "considerable strength."
It is the first civilian administrative center to be occupied by the Chinese Reds since they crossed the disputed McMahon border line on Sept. 8, and then launched an all-out attack last Friday night.
The spokesman said there was no present fighting around Tawang, leading observers to believe that Indian troops had fallen back through the country south of the valley.
HE ADDED that two new Chinese attacks had erupted across the border in the Siang sector 50 and 30 miles east of Longji, a key point in the Nefa region.
Meanwhile, it was reported that Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had sent a letter Tuesday to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev saying he was unable to accept a cease-fire along the lines set out by the Communist Chinese.
NEHRU'S LETTER was in reply to a letter from Khrushchev last Saturday asking for an immediate cease-fire in the border war.
India has refused to accept the terms proposed by the Chinese that both sides withdraw a specified distance from their present positions and begin talks. India insists there can be no talks until the Reds withdraw completely from Indian territory.

The plank refers to a University Party and that the ASC should take an active interest in world affairs.

IN VIEW OF the recent investigation of food at Lewis Hall, another plank proposes that reasonable complaints about food or sanitation conditions in any University residence hall should be investigated.
Another plank called for additional traffic entrances to Templin, Hashinger and Lewis Halls.
Vox takes essentially the same position on civil rights that it took last year. Wilson said.
Vox also recommended that the ASC Human Rights Committee work with the Lawrence Human Rights Commission. The Vox plank opposes discriminatory fraternity or sorority clauses, but says solutions should be reached through negotiations between the Human Rights Committee, the ASC, and the Greek living groups involved.
A FINAL PLANK in the Vox platform advocates that lists of all ASC committees be distributed to all students.
"Many students probably don't know what ASC committees do, or that they even exist." Wilson said.
"It was ascertained by the U.S. Naval vessel which intercepted her that the tanker had only petroleum aboard. Since petroleum is not presently included as prohibited material under President Kennedy's proclamation setting up the quarantine, the tanker was allowed to proceed.
Soviet Tanker —

"THE NAVY satisfied itself that no phobibited material was aboard this particular ship. This encounter took place shortly after 8 a.m. EDT today."
Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara said two nights ago that 25 Soviet ships were en route to Cuba. Last night the Defense Department described the vessels belonging to the "bloc," an inference that ships of the satellite nations — such as Czechoslovakia or Poland — might be on the high seas with Cubabound cargoes.
McNamara also had said the presumption was that some of the Russian ships were carrying offensive materials.
IF THESE SHIPS had encountered the blockade, rather than an oil tanker, they would have been ordered to stop and turn around or face the prospect of being sunk. The

Moscow Radio, perhaps significantly, said publicly today that a Soviet tanker was en route to Cuba. It was identified as the 21,255-ton "Bucharest."
tanker, however, averted such a possibility.
U. S. officials had not ruled out the possibility that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev might have one or two of his ships test the blockade so Russia could appear before the United Nations as an "aggrieved party."
