News Analysis
Peking Attacks
Moscow Again
By WILLIAM L. RYAN
CP) Special Correspondent
The latest propaganda salvos
exchanged by Moscow and Pek
ing suggest that Red China, dis
mayed by the mauling inflicted
on Viet Nam Communists, fears
that without significant help, the
tide may have turned against
the Red cause.
This would explain the boiling
anger in new Chinese attacks on
Moscow which already may
have brought the dispute between
the two Communist giants be
yond a point of no return.
Moscow, its patience with Pek
ing close to the cracking point,
claimed this week that it sought
“unity of action” on Viet Nam
and that Peking spumed it. The
article in the Soviet Communist
party paper Pravda did not ex
plain what it meant by “unity of
action,” but there have been hints.
What Moscow wanted, accord
ing to sources who should know,
was a “Communist summit” meet
ing on Viet Nam to coordinate
world Communist policy. Pek
ing would have no part of it.
Evidently the Russians argued
that some sort of settlement in
Viet Nam might in the long
run benefit world communism.
Peking saw this as back-stage
plotting to accommodate the
Americans and end the fighting.
China may see Viet Nam —
and Southeast Asia — slipping
from its grasp. Victory for the
Americans might be far off, but
for the Communist side winning
is becoming a dimmer prospect
all the time, barring more pow
erful outside help.
Prudently, the Chinese have
not wanted to provide this help
on their own and leave them
selves vulnerable to the conse
quences, but there is a sound of
desperation in their propaganda
which indicates they may even
now be thinking in terms of
“volunteers” in the style of Ko
rea.
Up to now, the Soviet Union
has given North Viet Nam “de
fense” aid. In effect, China says
this is a poor way to run a world
revolution.
In a long article hailing the
48th anniversary of the Bolshe
vik Revolution, People’s Daily
of Peking said the October revo
lution pointed the only road to
Communist triumph and all must
follow it.
“The road of the October rev
olution was the road of revolu
tion by violence. Seizure of po
litical power by armed force is
the central task and highest form
of revolution. This is a univer
sal law,” it said.
Sophomores
Undergo
Physicals
Sophomores are being thump
ed, spun and sent through all
manner of contraptions at Tex
as A&M this week. But it isn’t
a form of hazing.
Around 265 cadets are under

ty Hospital. An Air Force de
tachment of 13 from Bergstrom
and Carswell Bases are giving
examinations.
Among sophomores who hope
to enter A&M’s professional of
ficers course is Ralph Stevener
of Bryan. The son of Mr. and
Mrs. Arnold Stevener of Tabor
community is majoring in agri
cultural engineering.
Stevener is scholastic corporal
of Squadron 13 and has a 2.0
grade point ratio. He is a grad
uate of Stephen F. Austin High
School in Bryan where he was
active in FFA work.
Physicals given by Air Force
personnel under command of Lt.
Col. Robert H. Frey is one of a
series of requirements freshmen
and sophomores in aerospace
studies must pass in order to en
ter the officers course.
Students must have a GPR of
1.1, pass an Air Force Officer
Qualifications Test and physical
to go into contract and studies
that lead to a commission in the
Air Force.

Moon May Contain Water, Diamonds
By RALPH DIGHTON
AP Science Writer
LA JOLLA, Calif. UP) — A
scientist says the moon, general
ly believed to be a dry and bar
ren chunk of rock, may have wa
ter and diamonds in its crust.
Nobel Prize-winning chemist
Harold C. Prey told science writ
ers Tuesday that the heat and
pressure he believes created the
moon from space gas and dust
also would have formed diamonds
on or near its surface.
The same theory of the moon’s
origin leads to the possibility
that water, condensed from gases,
may lie beneath the moon’s sur
face.
Upward seepage of this water.
Dr. Urey said, may explain the
broad flat plains on the moon
which resemble dried-up ocean
beds.
Ancient astronomers thought
the plains were large bodies of
water and called them maria, the
Latin word for seas.
Dr. Urey won the 1934 Nobel
Prize for discovering deuterium.
an element of the hydrogen
bomb.
He said some of the craters
on the moon’s surface may not
be volcanoes, but the openings of
tubes through which water has
gushed to the surface.
Urey spoke at the third an
nual briefing on new frontiers of
science.

How to make a holiday last all year long
"How often do you coll Long
Distance to friends or members
of the family?"
"Well, I expect to make some
calls on Thanksgiving and maybe
on Christmas."
"Why wait for a holiday or
special occasion to call — that's
the old fashioned way!"
"How come? Is the phone
company having a sale just
now?"
"No, not that. New low-cost
long distance rates are now in
effect all day Sunday and every
night after eight — so now for
a dollar or less, you can keep in
touch more often."
"Say! That's a good idea!
Tonight I'll make some important
calls I've been putting off."
"Fine! Thanks to new low rates,
you can call anywhere in continental
U. S.* station-to-station and talk
three minutes for $1.00 or less.
This is the big communications
bargain — the modern way to
keep in touch at all times."
