Chinese Widening Bridgehead In India NEW DELHI (AP)--Chinese Communists troops have wid- ened their bridgehead in north- eastern India and are develop- ing a threat to the important monastery town of Towang, the Indian defence ministry said to- day. Well-armed Chinese troops pushed back Indian soldiers seven or eight miles in an area just east of Bhutan. The new attack was launched a few miles east of this area at Bum Pass, a defence spokes- man said, adding to the Towang/Indian troops crossed the threat, Elsewhere on the Himalayan border, fighting con-| tinued without major changes in position. The spokesman said that at the northwest end of the border; in Ladakh "our posts are suc- cessfully resisting the Chinese assaults."

At the eastern end of the -bor- der, 20 miles from Burma, the Chinese attack is also continu- ing on Kibitoo on the Luhit River, south of Rima. The main Chinese advance was. reported in an area just east of Bhutan. Chinese forces have driven seven or eight miles south of Khinzemane in the river valley, reaching to- ward Towang, the spokesman said. The Chinese have reached the villages of Zamithang and Broken-thang and fighting con- tinues in pockets west of them. Early today the Chinese 'also began attacking across the Bum Pass, a major trade route from eastern Tibet into India. The route leads down to Tow- ang, the economic and religious centre for the western end of India's northeast frontier prov- ince.

An advance lot his speech said "early in |1963" and informants said that plan still stands. The trimming of the deficit forecas. for the current fiscal year, ending next March 31, from the $745,000,000 predicted! last April, was less than had been expected. Mr. Nowlan's statement |Showed that a $228,000,000 chop in federal spending 'announced last Thursday would be largely eaten up by a $175,000,000 rise in» other outlays and by a shrinkage in appropriations left unspent at year's end by gov- ernment departments. He predicted that government be $150,000,000 higher than the April forecast, with '$130,000,000 of the gain re- sulting from the special import surcharges imposed last June to meet a foreign exchange crisis- Mr. Nowlan's statement con- tained the first how long Parliament must wait for his first full budget speech.

"It is of utmost importance," he. said, to reduce and ulti- mately eliminate this deficit. The government's approach would be "expansive, not re- strictive'"' and its keynote would be increased efficiency for Ca- nadian industry to meet foreign competition in export markets and at home. But he gave no further clues to the nature of the measures in his next budget. UNITED NATIONS (CP) -- Charging the United States with an act of war, Cuba requested an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Counci! today --a move already demanded by the U.S. Ambassador Mario Garcia Inchaustegui of Cuba made the application in a letter to Soviet Deputy, Foreign Minister Valer- ian Zorin, council president for October, who received a similar request 'Monday night from U.S. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson. Inchaustegui, referring to President Kennedy's arinounce- Cuba, declared: "The United States govern- ment is carrying out this act of war in disregard of the inter- national organization." The Cu- ban said that in particular the U.S. was "in absolute con- tempt" of the Security Council. The council should be con- vented, he said, to consider "the act of war unilaterally committed by the government of the United States in ordering the naval blockade." Ironically, Soviet Deputy For- sacteaaiie (Reuters) -- A So- viet Government statement to- day addressed a: "serious warning" to the United States following President Kennedy's announcement of an arms blockade against Cuba. The-statement said the United States bore "heavy responsibil- ity for the fate of the world" and that if an aggressor began war the Soviet union would deal out "a most powerful answer- ing blow." The statement described as "h isy' U.S claims that Cuba is a threat to the United States. It was the first official Soviet reaction to President Kennedy's announcement of the arms blockade. It described the U.S action as a '"'provocative step unheard of in inetrnational relations and a challenge to all peace - loving peoples." It appealed to all govern- ments and peoples to protest against the "aggressive actions of the United States." The statement said Russia has instructed its representative at the United Nations to raise the matter immediately, convening the security council in order to discuss the "violation of the United Nations Charter and the threat to peace by the oan States."

Ships | Move To Halt Vessels WASHINGTON (AP)--Russia|re: and the United States headed on a collision course today as U.S. ships moved to clamp an arms blockade on Cuba and halt Soviet conversion of the island into a nuclear missile base. A direct confrontation be- tween the two great ers could come by nightfall, in the judgment of Washington offi- cials. The crisis appeared to be the eet since the Second World ar. Its full scope broke Monday night when President. Kennedy announced Russia's establish- ment of missile bases in Cuba threatening the United States, 'Canada and Latin America and disclosed 4 seven-point program of U.S. action starting with a naval blockade to halt the flow of any offensive arms to Cuba. He called his move the impo- sition of "a strict quarantine," avoiding official use of the word "blockade." But administration officials said that in practical effect there was no difference. CUBANS MOBILIZE Havana radio said early 's- day that all of the island's mili- tary forces had been mobilized and Premier Fidel Castro would address the Cuban people later in the day. Kennedy was depending on diplomacy to pull world back from the brink of dress he sent a personal mes- sage to Soviet Premier Khrush- chev to refrain from any step which would make the situation worse. The letter, along with an ad- lvance' copy of his speech, was Rusk Anatoly jego- tiations. But officials said it did not specifically suggest such a meeting. On the: diplomatic front--as on the Cuban blockade front--it put the next move up to Khrushchev: Even as the president spoke, U.S. warships were manoeuv- ing up stations for the intercep- tion of all inbound vessels. The U.S. Navy ships will have the the Shortly before his ad-|_ handed by State Secretary Dean to Soviet Ambassador 4 Dobrynin at the state department shortly before Ken- nedy went on the air.

Defence and state department Officials said the navy would fire a shot across the bow of any ship which refused to sub- mit to investigation and if essary would then fire at ship with the intention of caus- ing enough damage to halt it. If need be, the ship would be sunk, defence officials said. The overriding question being asked in government circles here was whether Khrushchev would slow down or turn back Soviet ships on the way, at least to give time for a cooling-off period and avoid an almost im- mediate showdown. The Penta- gon said Soviet ships now bound fr Cuba have no Russian mili- tary escorts.

The United States is not certain. Ever since last July, when a stream of refugees told of see- ing missile sites under construc- tion in Cuba, U.S. planes and agents had been attempting to find proof of these fragmentary stories and reports. The United States knew Rus- sia was helping the Cubans build ground-to-air missile sites with a range of 25 miles. The Americans found 24 of these sites, each with six launching pads. Of these, 22 were con- sidrd oprational. In addition, thy located three coastal missile sites--two oper- ational--with a range of 40 miles. Evidence was found of 100 MiG jet fighters, 39 of the latest model-21 type, There also were 12 patrol boats of the kind OTTAWA (CP) -- A toughen- ing of Canadian policy on Cuba is up for discussion at a meet- ing of the federal cabinet today.

Canada Closes Ports To Russian Airplanes So far Canada has continued to trade with Cuba in non-stra- tegic articles while barring any trans . shipment of American goods through Canadian ports. This policy has been followed by most of the NATO countries: Canadian sales to Cuba have been in a sharp decline this year, Mr. Green said that the clos- ure of Canadian airports to Cu- ban-bound Soviet aircraft oc- curred "a few days ago." He was commenting on a Washing- ton report that the U.S planned to ask Canada to shut off its airports to just such: flights. "We stopped that a few da: ago," he said.
