NEW DELHI, India (AP)—Bol
stered by the promise of U.S. mili
tary aid, India acorned Peiping
peace overtures and rushed rein
forcement* to the front yesterday
to face Chinese Communist troop*
driving deeper southward behind
superior firepower.
A' government spokesman put
Indian losses at 2,000 t 0.2,500 dead
or missing in 10 days but claimed
the Communists' were suffering
much heavier casualties as they
attacked in waves.
CHINESE CAPTURE of Dem
chok, close to the undefined Kash
mir border, was conceded in the
deepest thrust" the Communists
have made across the frontier in
the northwest since they launched
their big offensive Oct. 20. •
The Indians gave up Demchok,
a 14,000-foot high outpost, after
bitter fighting against superior
forces, the spokesman said. Dem
chok is about“3oo miles southeast
of Srinigar, the capital of Kash
mir.
Informed sources in Assam
claimed a victory by the Indians
dn recapturing Jang, four miles
east of the strategic Buddhist cen
ter of Towang on the northeast
front. The informants said this
put the Indians in a stronger posi
tion for retaking the monastery
town, which fell to the invaders

last Thursday.
Prime Minister Nehru turned to
the United States for modern
weapons and got a quick response
from U.S. Ambassador John Ken
neth Galbraith that they could be
sent—probably by the end of the
week.
The appeal to the United States
came as two planeloads of British
arms and ammunition arrived,
with more expected. But Nehru
was clearly pinning his hopes on
Washington for his skimpily
equipped forces' needs to stem the
Communist tide.
Informants said the first Ameri
can supplies might be rushed
from Thailand, where the United
States was building up a stock of
arms when the Communist threat
in Laos threatened to spill over
into the pro-Western ally.
INDIA HAD MADE arrange
ments with Moscow for a dozen
MIG2I jet fighters before the
Chinese Communist offensive was
launched. Delivery of the first six
fighters w'as reportedly fixed for
early December but the flareup
of fighting may lead the Russians
to shelve the deal.

PARIS CAP) —Paris newspapers
pulled out big black lype yester
day to proclaim “De Gaulle Stays."
- No official word haj| come from
the president since this results (ft
Sunday's referendum'on popular
election of future presidents were
tabulated.
'But'official circles' seemed to
be taking it for-granted the presi
dent would return to Paris today
and preside over tthe weekly
cabinet meeting tomorrow.
THE ELECTION RESULTS
showed that the project for direct
election of De Gaullefs successors
—rather than by an indirect sort
of electoral college .system—had
captured 61.8 per cent approval
from those who cast ballots. The
black note was that because of
abstentions and negative votes,
only 46.4 per cent of t|ie registered
voters had given formal backing.

U Thant Heartened by Cuba Talks
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (JV
Acting Secretary-General U i
Thant was described as heartened
by his talks yesterday with U.S.,
Soviet and Cuban representatives
aimed at resolving the crisis over
Soviet missile bases in Cuba.
THANT' HELD THE talks be
fore leaving this morning for Ha

tary experts.
His task is to negotiate for
U.N. verification of dismantling
and removal of the Soviet-in
stalled bases.
, Thant held a two-hour meeting
yesterday morning with Soviet
Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily
V. Kuznetsov, who was named
special envoy of Premier Khrush

A UJC. spokesman said the So

* Perhaps you may wonder how our little studio ever got started
| in State College rather than, say, Punxatwawney or New York.
| Well my father, who taught Mathew Brady and who; incidently,
| was the husband-of my mother, suggested I try liny hand at
} writing newspaper columns and in case it didn’t pay off, do a
3 bit of photography on the side. Or was it visa versa? Several
| decades have dimmed my memory but nevertheless I settled
I in State College as' this was. the. only ’ paper which would

‘ - :
$ years ago my; life of. serenity and minor recognition came to a
| screeching halt as I was informed that I would have to pay
for the column. Thus the studio per *e was' formed to.help
fi offset the cost of these columns.
Our records indicate that we have contributed something ap
proximating |57,000 in the past ten years to the coffers of this
good paper for the privilege of keeping you informed of many
and varied items. Thus-the reason for our exhorbitant prices.
Thus (and redundantly thus) we are forced to charge as much
as $3.50 pertly for a .sitting.
Restraint hasn’t exactly been the key of our previous columns.
It will be now. We.shan’t mention a word concerning the
Froth debacle (Will playboy be next for. the scaffold?) Nor
shall we mention the beautiful pledge classes of Pi Beta Phi
and Tri Deltlest Is off end, other sororities who are scheduled
to be photographed later.
We can’t tell, you how we did it but the following organizations
