India-China Row Is Getting Hotter
By Phil Newsm UPI Foreign News Analyst
The Indian-Red Chinese border dispute has been simmering for about three years.
Most of the action has been confined to occasional hot words exchanged between the two antagonists, and here and there a patrol clash.
INVOLVED IS AN AREA of some 51,000 square miles along the Himalaya spine separating India and China. It is an inhospitable area of towering mountains, deep gorges, murderous winters and of communications such that months may pass before either side knows of a border violation.
It is not on tourist maps and most Westerners would be hard put to locate Ladakh (which is the border area of Northeast Kashmir on the Western end of the Indo-Chinese border) or to describe the habits of Monba, Aka, Dafa or Apa Tarang tribes (who live along the border in the Northeast).
Occasionally the dispute bobs back into the news, as it did a few days ago when Indian Defense Minister Krishna Menon's departure for the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York was delayed by new Red Chinese incursions in the Northeast.
Involved were 45 men of an Indian outpost and an undetermined number of Red troops "several hundred yards away."
ON THE BASIS of the foregoing, the dispute would seem to be isolated and not one at the moment to intrude upon other world problems. Such is not the case. For example:
President Mohammad Ayub Khan of Pakistan and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India seldom 'see eve-to-eve.
In London last week, at the meeting of Commonwealth Prime Ministers, they have been in rare agreement in opposition to Britain's entering the Common Market.
THEIR AREA OF disagreement is wide, but especially they disagree on Kashmir, which presently is held jointly along a cease-fire line, with India holding the greater share.
As part of his annoyance with Nehru and their general disagreement over matters of foreign policy, Ayub also is annoyed at the extent of U.S. aid to India.
Meantime, Ayub has decided to reach tentative agreement with Red China on a border delineation over that part of Kashmir he holds and which India claims.
THIS HAS BROUGHT from Nehru an expression of surprise that a member of the Western SEATO and CENTO treaties should suddenly elect to "chum up with China."
It is also a matter about which Ayub may be asked when he visits Washington, presumably soon.
In London, Nehru has been protesting the effect on India's five-year plan if Britain should join the Common Market and cut off Commonwealth economic preferences. On their side the British have asked why Nehru is negotiating to buy MIG jets from Russia rather than taking his business to the hard-pressed British aircraft industry.

'Oceanauts Begin 4th Day
MARSEILLES, France — (UPI)— Two French oceanauts entered their fourth day on the ocean floor today in a record-breaking week-long endurance test of life under water.
Claude Wesly and Albert Falso were joined briefly yesterday by a dentist who was dropped down from the surface to tend to Wesly's toothache.
Today the two sea divers continued work on the fish farm which has provided their main occupation during their stay 33 feet down in the Mediterranean Sea.
Wesley and Falso, who are living under pressure, twice that felt by ordinary landlubbers, are the key men in Commander Yves Cousteau's closely guarded experiment off the tiny Isle de Pomegate near here.
LONDON — (UPI) — The Commonwealth Prime Ministers, fearful that Britain's entry into the European Common Market would wreck their alliance, failed today to agree on terms of a final communique and called another meeting tomorrow.
The prime ministers have complained that the terms Britain has negotiated would damage their trade and economies.
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and his ministers have told the visiting leaders that the six common market nations will not agree to full-scale renegotiation of the British entry terms. But they promised a fresh look at some of the most damaging conditions.
Officials Held In Tragedy
BRUSSELS — (UPI) — Police today arrested on involuntary homicide charges two officials of a construction firm working next door to a government office building which collapsed and killed 17 persons.
Arrested were Jean Baptiste Lecluse, 50, chief of the firm doing the work, and engineer J. B. Maucuqoy, the work superintendent.
Their firm was digging a construction site next door to the economic affairs ministry building which cracked and crumbled yesterday.
Seventeen persons were killed and 15 were injured.
