But it is expected to be a closed session instead of the ballyhooed and televised meeting which was scheduled and then called off sud denly last week in the midst of a heated wrangle over - the issue. McCarthy and Stevens' office both said the Army secretary had agreed to appear before the •Sen ate Investigations subcommittee either Thursday or next Monday. The session, when held, McCar they said, will be a closed door affair unless Stevens prefers to open it to the public. c' tevens' of fice said the secretary understood the meeting would be closed. The senator said Army policy is contradictory rather than uni form in the treatment of purport ed Reds and he wants to ask Ste vens about that. But he grinned and hurried on to say: "I don't want this construed as an attack on Stevens." This time the question before the two will be related but a bit different fro - n the one that kept the secretary and the senator war ring all last week in one of Wash ington's more spectacular clashes of personalities.

Police threw tear gas grenades as the mob pressed towards the governor's house. Then the tribes men charged and police opened fire.

"MR. DENNING DRIVES NORTH" U.S. Offer Rejected By India's Nehru NEW DELHI, India, March 1 (P)—Prime Minister Nehru today spurned President Eisenhower's arms aid offer similar to that just granted neighboring Pakistan. Nehru-demanded that U.S. observers get off the UN cease-fire team in Kashmir. The Indian Parliament cheered as the Prime Minister commented bitterly on Eisenhower's letter explaining the U.S. decision to grant Pakistan military aid for de fense purposes and offering the same treatment to India "In making this suggestion," Nehru declared, "the President has done less than justice to us or to himself. If we object to military aid being given to Pakistan, we would be hypocrites and unprin cipled opportunists to accept it ourselves."' The deputies laughed w hen Nehru said " President Eisenhower has been good enough to suggest he would give his most sympathetic consid eration to any request we might wish to make for military as sistance." India and Pakistan have been disputing the future political sta tus of Kashmir ever since the Indian sub-continent was divided between the two in 1947. Refer- the dominance of international creeds which threaten free na tions of the world." Almost at the same instant Sourdis spoke, a responsible source reported that J. Villagroel, head of the Communist party un derground organization in Vene zuela, had been jailed, and that Jai Narine Singh, member of the ousted leftwing government of British Guiana, had been told to leave' Venezuela. Singh told a news conference here Saturday that if the British do not voluntarily abandon Brit ish Guiana and give it indepen dence they will face an "armed re bellion."
