China Warns India, U. S.
Against Any Interference
By John Roderick
TOKYO (AP) — Red China
sharply warned India, the U. S.
and other critics Thursday
against intervention in the Tibet
an rebellion. It coupled a fresh
attack on India, host to the ref
ugee Dalai Lama, with a declara
tion that the shooting is all but
over in Tibet..
The Chinese Communist com
mand in Lhasa, capitol of Tibet,
claimed it has crushed Tibetan
strongholds in the mountains,
wiped out the bulk of the rebel
lion and killed, wounded or cap
tured nearly 2,000 rebels.
Red troops are mopping up the
scattered remnants, it said, and
“they will be wiped out in the
near future.”
A sidelight came in a dispatch
issued in T'aipei, Formosa, by the
Tatao news agency, which is run
by the Chinese Nationalist Jus
tice Ministry and claims under
ground contacts on the mainland.
The dispatch said the Reds are
shipping 250,00C( reinforcements
to Tibet and that 70,000 of these
have already been moved in by
airlift.
Indian Prime Minister Nehru
and the Dalai Lama himself have
insisted that the young god-king
wrote his April 18 statement at
T e z p u r denouncing Communist
rule in Tibet. But Peiping insist
ed it was “even more obvious”
someone else did it.
A statement issued by the Dalai
Lama’s entourage at Mussoorie,
which insisted that he was the
author, was read “by Tibetan reb
els who abducted the Dalai Lama
to India,” declared a commentary
of the New China News agency.
The propaganda barrage burst
on the eve of the first conference
of Nehru, 69, and the 23-year-old
Dalai Lama since the latter’s
flight across the Tibetan border
three weeks ago to sanctuary in
India.
Nehru left New Delhi Thurs
day for Mussoorie, a Himilayan
hill station. The Dalai Lama is
established there in a three-story
mansion set in 55 acres of
grounds surrounded — for his
protection — by barbed wire and
a corps of security officers.
Revolution
Leader Friend
Of John Wayne
PANAMA (^)—Officials said
Thursday Roberto Arias, hunted
as the leader of a purported revo
lutionary plot, had drawn more
than half a million dollars in the
last 18 months from rough-and-
ready movie star John Wayne, an
old friend.
They hastened to add that
Wayne was in no way involved in
the supposed plot and they only
wanted to show that Arias handled
large sums of money.
Wayne himself expressed amaze
ment that Arias could be mixed
up in any revolutionary activities.
The actor told newsmen at his
home in Encino, Calif., that Arias
had been his friend “off and on”
for 20 years and they were associ
ated in a shrimp company along
with other stockholders.
Officials said they had found a
letter from Wayne to Arias at
Arias’ beach cottage near Santa
Clara, about 75 miles west of Pan
ama City.
Signed “Duke,” Wayne’s nick
name, the letter contained an in
teroffice memo to Wayne from
Robert D. Weesner reporting Arias
had been given or drawn against
Wayne’s account a total of $525,-
000 since Nov. 19, 1957.
LETTERS
Editor
The Battalion:
I wish to question that handful
of apparently loyal martyrs who
.were haunted, seemingly out of
their wits and judgement, by
their “skeletons - in-the-closet”
during the annual Muster and
who became so “manly” enraged
at their inconclusive poor man’s
poll of civilian students’ presence
at said occasion.
How many “well-fed, healthy”
gentlemen of the Corps would
have trampled madly to the Mus
ter yesterday if they hadn’t been
specifically told to do so? How
many upper classmen in the Corps
say “Howdy?” How many upper
classmen in the Corps abide to all
of that which you call so soul-
piercingly “dear?” How many un
shaven, dirty - brassed, unclean
uniformed, or “sloppy privilege-
minded leaders” are setting a
good example for the future gen
tlemen and officers of our armed
forces? And, how many of the
above questions could be answer
ed with, “At least 10 per cent?”

MISCHIEVOUS MARY
PHOENIX WP)—Mary Molina,
11, picked out a vacant lot and
rented parking space to motorists
attending graduation ceremonies in
Montgomery Stadium.
A resident complained to police
that the lot was not blacktopped—
as required by city ordinance—and
the cars were kicking up dust.
The police arrived, and closed
the parking lot operation. The $6
collected by Mary was held for
“safekeeping of the owner of the
lot, unknown at the time.”

Ike Puts Stress
On Sound Dollar
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Eisenhower put new stress
Thursday on the importance of a
sound dollar. He said a balanced
federal budget could help im
mensely.
Eisenhower spoke to two busi
ness groups — delegates from 50
nations — at a meeting of the In
ternational Chamber of C o m-
merce and the National Assn, of
Manufacturers.
He told the international group
that government shares with them
an intense concern in many mat
ters. He listed these:
.“Sound money, high employ
ment, rising standai’ds of living,
the movement and marketing of
goods and services — all these
and more.”
To the NAM, he extended his
thanks for what its members have
done “in helping cut down federal
expenditures, and therefore sus
taining a sound and good Ameri
can dollar.”
Former editor and publisher of
the Mihan Daily Newspaper, Shir
vani has also served as deputy
in the Iranian Parliament and
director-general of the Iranian
Propaganda and Information Bu
reau. He is a member of the
boards of directors of both the
Iran Agricultural Council and the
Jajurd River Authority.
His main interest lies, however,
in his extensive cotton properties.
“I am very interested in learn
ing al] I can about your cotton
programs,” Shirvani said.
Colonel Punished
For Rank-Pulling
TOKYO (AP) — The U.S. Air
Force has slapped a fine, repri
mand, and transfer on Lt. Col.
Charles Platt Jr., whose rush for
a Hawaiian vacation delayed sev
en servicemen on a flight to the
bedside of sick relatives in the
United States.
The case was officially closed
Thursday with the announcement
that Platt had forfeited $340 pay,
been relieved as commander of
the Tachiwaka Air Force passen
ger terminal outside Tokyo, and
posted for other duty as an after-
math of the mixup March 26.
The mixup resulted when Platt,
49, of Brooklyn, N.Y., belatedly
but successfully set about getting
seats for himself and his family
on a Honolulu-bound DC6B for an
outing in Hawaii.
The Air Force said Platt had
been completely cleared of bump
ing GIs on emergency leave from
the plane to make room for his
family, but that he bothered the
terminal staff and contributed to
the confusion that caused them to
be left behind.

Soviets Have
Many Worries
About Germans
By J. M. Roberts
Associated Press News Analyst
Nuclear armament isn’t the on
ly thing about West Germany that
worries the Soviet Union.
In the old days the eastern part
of Germany which is now Com
munist - controlled was consider
ably advanced over most of east
ern Europe despite the fact that
it was primarily agricultural.
Now East Germany runs far
behind West Germany and may
, even be slipping while West Ger
many seems ahead — a poor ad
vertisement for the Soviet sys
tem.
As workers in their prime slip
into West Germany by the thous
ands, theEast population — and
labor force — gets older and less
productive.
The Population Reference Bu
reau of Washington estimates
that two million peqple have fled
from East to West Germany since
1950, most of them in the past
five years.
West German figures show
more than half of these were un
der 25 years of age and another
2.8 per cent between 25 and 45.
This has not only reduced the
East German labor force, but
shifted its base until it is now 42
per cent women — as compared
with 32 per cent in the United
States.
It also reduced the birth rate
in six years, 1951-57, from 16.9 to
15.6 per 1,000 so that migration
is now three times the increase
through births over deaths.
