Russian Naval Forces Threaten Red China
LONDON—(UPI)—Diplomatic dispatches said today the Soviet Union is strengthening its border guards along the frontier with Communist China and sending naval reinforcements to the Far East as precautionary moves in the worsening Sino-Soviet rift.
The moves coincided with Soviet press reports today that Chinese Communist authorities last year machinegunned to death dozens of men, women and children who sought permission to cross the border from Sinkiang Province to the Soviet Union. The shooting allegedly occurred in May, 1962.
THE STRENGTHENING of guards along the 3,500-mile Siberian Frontier was believed designed to discourage any further "provocations" by China along the disputed border. The Soviets have accused Peking of 5,000 border violations last year.
The show of naval strength in the Far East appeared largely aimed at Asian public opinion as a reminder that the Soviet Union has important political stakes in the area and the strength to defend them. Moscow has warned Peking to halt provocations or face a decisive rebuff.
No immediate clash is anticipate between the two Communist giants, according to diplomatic sources. But Moscow apparently is taking precautionary measures to discourage any possible "adventurist" moves.
Diplomatic sources said Moscow would be prepared for forceful counter-action should there be further Chinese violations of the border which extends through the vast wastes of Central Asia and often is poorly delineated.
UNCONFIRMED REPORTS have circulated in diplomatic circles that the Soviets may be shifting some of their troops from East Germany to the Chinese border. There have been no discernible signs of a major troop movement, however.
The Soviets have 22 fully equipped divisions in East Germany and reports have mentioned movement of a few divisions. The reports coincided with recent Soviet suggestions that both East and West thin out their troop strength in Central Europe.
The border troubles followed publication by the Peking regime of old maps on which territory now held by the Soviet Union was alleged to have been seized by Czarist Russia. One of the main areas is that around Vladivostok, the main Soviet naval base in the Far East.
In July, the Soviet staged what was termed by experts as unprecedented show of naval power in the Far East when for the first time it celebrated Navy Day off the port of Vladivostok. On that occasion the admiral of the fleet S. G. Gorshkov, commander-in-chief of the Soviet navy, reviewed a display of powerful surface ships and rocket-equipped submarines.
DIPLOMATIC REPORTS said some of the units sent into the Vladivostok area have remained and other surface ships equipped with guided missiles, and submarines have joined them.
Communist China's navy consists mainly of small craft so the Soviet reinforcements are considered largely for demonstrative purposes to impress the Asians.
Men Questioned in Bombings
BIRMINGHAM—(UPI)Two suspects being held in connection with recent racial bombings in this steel city undergo further questioning today by state investigators.
State authorities have kept secret details of the arrests of the two suspects and results of earlier questioning.
The suspects, both with Ku Klux Klan backgrounds, underwent questioning by state investigators yesterday at the city jail.
Col. Al Lingo, head of the state police, identified the men arrested Sunday night, as R. E. Chambliss, 59, and Charles Cagle, 22, both of the Birmingham area.
The worst of the bombings on Sept. 15, killed four Negro girls in the 16th Street Baptist Church. The city has had 23 bombings since 1956 and none have been solved.
The arrests came as a surprise to local authorities, but police chief Jamie Moore said "We have been aware of some of the suspects questioned by state investigators and had knowledge of their activities."
However, Moore said the authorities did not have enough evidence on any of them for a conviction.
Negro leader Martin Luther King Jr. said yesterday that possible progress in the investigation of the bombings eliminated the necessity for immediate racial demonstrations.
Sooners Move Back on Top
A decade ago, the University of Oklahoma was the New York Yankees of college football, winning national championships like the Yankees win World Series.
Five years ago, the Sooners did a most un-Yankee-like thing. They started losing. This year all is well and Oklahoma is once again the No.1 football team in the nation.
Yesterday, the Sooners were named the top team in the country in both the Associated Press and United Press International polls following Saturday's 17-12 victory over last year's national champions. Southern California. The defending Big Eight champs have this weekend off, but they play the University of Texas a week from Saturday. Texas is ranked third.
Three other Big Eight teams were mentioned in the season's (Continued on page 12)

Valachi Tells Senators About Gangland Scheme
WASHINGTON—(UPI) —Underworld informer Joseph Valachi said today that jailer Cosa Nostra leader Vito Genovese still has gambling interests in Las Vegas, Nev., in association with gambler Meyer Lansky.
Valachi also told of gangland murders in a struggle for control of New York mobs as he resumed his testimony before the senate investigations subcommittee.
The subcommittee unveiled a master chart naming the leaders of New York's notorious five families which allegedly dominate the rackets in that city.
It said Genovese, Carlo Gambino, Guiseppe (Joe) Magliocco, Joseph
Bonanno and Gaetano Lucchese now control the underworld with the aid of seven underbosses.
Sen. Jacob Javits, R-N.Y., recalled that Valachi testified Friday that Genovese, now serving a 15-year term for narcotics violations at the federal prison in Leavenworth, had interests in Las Vegas.
Valachi also said that a rumor circulated in his gang that Abe Reles, a witness against Genovese who was being held in protective custody more than 10 years ago, was thrown out of a hotel window by police who were guarding him.
The boys talked about it, Valachi said. I believed it.
Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy said
Ring Or Not To Ring That 's The Question
The crowd roars; arms wave; Gale Sayers crosses the goal line for a touchdown against Syracuse. But missing from this enthusiasm Saturday was the familiar gong from the big bell at the north end of Memorial Stadium.
The bell was rented by Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity and has been used to gong out KU touchdowns and field goals several seasons.
Arthur C., (Duteh) Lonborg, director of athletics, said he doubted the bell would be placed on the field for future games. Law enforcement officers have decided it would be better no to have it on the field, he said.
Lonborg said the decision was made mainly because of a fight over the bell at the Nebraska-KU game here last year which Nebraska won, 40-16
Exuberant Nebraska fans rushed on the field several times to ring the bell when Nebraska scored. KU fans, defending the bell, challenged the
Nebraska fans to a fight that was broken up by police.
"We want to avoid fights if we can." Lonborg said.
William R. Lennard, Ottawa senior and TKE president, said the bell's frame was broken when it was moved from the field for the summer, but it had been fixed.
The University had assured the TKE's twice the bell would be moved to the field for last Saturday's game. Lennard said.
Members of the fraternity and Lonborg were to meet today to discuss the matter.
Lennard said the bell cost the TKEs $60 annually and the bill has already been paid for the season.
"We're trying to get it back on the field," Lennard said he felt the bell was a real spirit builder.
Neither Lennard or Lonborg are sure where the bell is now, but they think it is probably still in the stadium.
meantime that the government plans to use Valachi later as a witness in federal criminal trials against certain leaders of organized crime.
The attorney general, who opened the hearings last week by warning that Cosa Nostra is a powerful invisible government with a multimillion dollar income, declined to specify the cases in which Valachi would be used.
But he made clear in an interview with UPI that he hoped the testimony of the confessed killer and convicted narcotics peddler would help send some of his former cohorts to prison
The red-blue-and-green chart unveiled by the subcommittee showed a series of gangland assassinations dating back to 1930.
Valachi told how he joined Cosa Nostra after stealing was getting tough in New York when police began using radios and street lights were turned on all night.
He said he was talked into joining the Maran Ano group by Bobby Doyle, alias Girolamo Santuccio, and a man he called The Gap whose real name was Dominick Petrelli.
As Valachi resumed his testimony, the caucus room was as crowded as on Friday. Police said U.S. marshals were spotted throughout the spectator area as a security precaution for Valachi, who is said to have a $100,000 price on his head.
Valachi dealt in considerable detail with his New York City criminal activities before he joined Costa Nostra. He said he first learned of murder-for-hire while serving a 44-month sentence in Sing Sing in the mid-1920s.

'Noise' Shrugged Off
Quake Awoke KU Professor
By Don Black
It had been an ordinary day. Herbert Galton had a busy day meeting people and doing research for his book on Slavic languages and literature.
He grew tired and went to bed early to rest for another day.
At 5:17 a.m., an earthquake struck Skopie, Yugoslavia. The KU associate professor of Slavic languages and literature was awakened by a noise. He thought perhaps a nearby structure had fallen—a common occurrence—and he merely pulled up the covers and went back to sleep.
Later in the morning of July 26 he awoke and noticed the full impact of the earthquake.
"IT WAS EXACTLY like you could imagine it to be," Prof. Galton said. "People were crushed and mangled, dead mothers were still holding their live children. It was horrible, a tragedy."
Prof. Galton returned recently (Continued on page 12)
