Three Red Chinese Soldiers Are Killed
Tuesday, Sept. 25, 1962 University Daily Kansan
TOKYO—(UPI)—Communist China charged today that three Chinese soldiers were killed and two officers wounded by Indian troops in fighting in the Chedong region in Tibet yesterday.
The report was broadcast by the Communist New China news agency.
It followed earlier announcements by the news agency that fighting was in progress near the $ ^{\textcircled{3}} $
Tibetan town of Chedong.
"THREE CHINESE frontier sentries were killed and two Chinese officers were wounded by the Indian troops illegally intruding north of the so-called McMahon line into the Chedong area of China's Tibet region," the broadcast stated.
"The Indians attacked the Chinese frontier guard post west of Che-Jao bridge between 1 and 3 yesterday afternoon, according to the latest report from Chinese frontier guards in the Tibet region."
IT ADDED that fighting still was in progress this afternoon.
The Communist broadcast said that Chinese frontier guards were "forced to take resolute measures for self defense and return the fire."
An earlier broadcast today had said that fighting began Monday in the Chedong region, and that the clash had resulted in the "killing and wounding of at least four Chinese soldiers."
Both reports today mentioned the Che-Jao bridge, as the scene of the hostilities.
The McMahon line, established during the 19th century, is recognized by India as the boundary line between the two countries. The Chinese claim that the boundary actually is farther south.
BY CHARGING that the Indians had crossed the McMahon line, the Chinese were claiming that the Indians had crossed into territory which India does not even claim.
The Communists have reported skirmishing on the disputed border every day since Thursday. The Red broadcasts invariably blame the fighting on the Indians.

Students Receive Research Grants
Kansas University students ranked high this year in receiving Sigma Xi-RESA grants-in-aid for research.
Only four other schools in the United States won more recognition in this field.
Sigma Xi, the leading honorary society in scientific research, and RESA, its counterpart in industry, also awarded three grants to Kansas State students.
Receiving a total of $1,250 in grants from KU were John C. Barlow of Lawrence and Charles A. Long of Pittsburg in zoology, William W. Moss of Ottawa, Canada, in entomology and Edward L. Richards of Boise, Idaho, in botany.
Outranking KU were Harvard with nine grants, Yale with eight, Pennsylvania University with six and Illinois University with five. Cornell, Florida and Michigan were other schools receiving four grants.
Drill Team Has Smoker
The Pershing Rifles, an exhibition drill team made up of Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC cadets, held its first Pledge Smoker Monday night at the Military Science Building.
The group also had the first opportunity to formally welcome its new adviser, Army Captain John Mizell. A one time member of the drill team, Captain Mizell addressed the group on what the Pershing Rifles meant to him. Cadet Captain Cassel, personnel officer, gave an address on the activities of the drill team.
Following an informal discussion, movies concerning the team and its past history were shown.
Hope Continues for Crash Victims
when it pancaked into the ocean Sunday night.
SHANNON. Ireland — (UPI) — The Canadian aircraft carrier Bonaventure, carrying survivors of the Flying Tiger super constellation that ditched in the North Atlantic, today flashed an account of the plane's last moments.
Other ships and planes searched the gray seas as the 20,000-ton carrier steamed toward the Irish coast. They sought a handful of persons — including a mother and two children — who still might be clinging to a life raft from the ill-fated airliner.
cue spokesman at Prestwick, Scotland, said there was little hope of finding more passengers alive "unless a raft is remaining afloat somewhere." But James Correa, a senior executive for the airline, continued to hope.

"There is one life raft which is still unaccounted for and they may be on it," he said. "The search is still going on and will probably go on for four or five days yet."
The carrier's message said the impact of the emergency ditching broke seats loose from the cabin's left side and hurled them forward. The passengers — some injured — began scrambling out.
In a message to the Canadian Naval Office in London, the Bona-venture reported that the huge plane's port wing wrenched off
At least 48 of the 76 persons aboard survived the deal.
Official lists compiled in Washington and London indicated as many as 16 persons still could be drifting helplessly. The rescued included American soldiers, dependents and plane crew.
