endorsed* President Kennedy's
proposal for a quick and substan

After two days of discussion, an
expanded meeting of the Presi

with a majority conclusion that
the tax cut should be permanent
and should emphasize lower per

Indian Officer Expresses
Determination of Troops
SE LA, Indian Northeastern!
Frontier tiP) “We'll do it—even j
if we have to use the knife," a
senior Indian officer said Monday.
He had been asked if the Indian
army could hold this 13,756-ft.,
high mountain pass against the*
Communist Chinese, now dug in i
on the north side of the Towang
River, six miles from here.
"1 AM SORRY I cannot paint a
rosy picture,” said the officer.
Declining the use of his name,
he said Indian morale was high
and visiting correspondents
found it so.
But superiority of numbers and
of automatic weapons firepower
still appears to be enjoyed by the
Chinese.
The officer also referred to the
problem of supplying ammunition
to the troops- ia the towering
Himalayan Mountains.
British and American automa
tic weapons have been airlifted to
India in past weeks to try- to
match the Chinese' submachine
guns.
. THE INDIAN ARMY fell back
on Se' La in the fourth week of
October under assault by three
divisions of Chinese, outnumber
ing the Indians four to one, •

miles south oL the India-Tibet
frontier. ' ‘ “
Since then, positions have more
or less been stable, with the Chi
nese forces centered at the mon
astery town of Towang, and dug
in on the Towang River.
INDIAN UNITS are dug in on
a mountain, and Indian outposts
extend into a steep, forested no
man’s land on the Chinese side.
Indian artillery’ on the moun
tain outranges the lighter guns
and mortars used so far by th«
Chinese.
Indian artillerymen, in a dem
onstration for corespondents,
fired nine rounds from 25-pound
er guns over a mountain at likely
targets in no A Chi
nese movement had been spotted
in the target areas from time to
time. The Chinese guns did not
reply. 5
The situation has drawbacks.
THE FOREST on Se La is so
thick-patrols can move almost un
seen in daylight.
One Chinese patrol climbed all
the way up the mountain a few
days ago and fired a submachine
gun burst into* the bowl-shaped
area at the top.
The Chines : did not hit any
thing. and fled before the Indians
could reply. But the incident
showed what could happen.
