__@ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Pridey, August 7, 1964 Russia Is Watching From The Sidelines By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP).-- The Soviet) nigh! Union watched uncomfortably from -the sidelines Thursday for the geeond straight day as the situation in Southeast Asia re- mained tense. Diplumatic observers believe the Soviet Union is suffering) quences acute embarrassment as a re- sult of United States air strikes against Communist North Viet Nam. - ° This is reflected in the cau- tious tone of Soviet press reac- tion to the toughened U.S, stand. : Only a restrained murmur protest was raised, Western ob- servers got the impression the Russians were trying to soft- pedal the latest developments in the explosive Indochina theatre. The keynote Soviet statement remained the one put out by Chinese Would Gain Little In Asian War By ROY ESSOYAN HONG KONG (AP)--Compe- tent. sources are inclined to doubt that Communist China will take any steps in the Tonkin Gulf crisis that would lead in- evitably to broadened war in Asia. U.S. air strikes against Com- munist North Vietnamese instal- lations were only 50 miles south of China's border, and Peking has been saying it would inter- vene in Viet Nam if it judged that the United States had car- ried the war to North Viet Nam. The situation therefore car- ries the danger of general Asian war, but Communist China has little to gain from such a con- flict at this stage. Its leaders would be more likely to feel time is with them in Southeast Asia. In addition, Peking is known Canada Offers Help Mediate OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada will grasp any opportunity to help mefiate the dispute between the| United States and Communist North Viet Nam, Prime Minis- ter Pearson said Thursday. But he told the Commons that he did not know what "'useful steps' Canada could take with regard to conciliation because Canada has no representatives in North Viet Nam. However, '"'we are members of the international commission in Viet Nam and perhaps our membership there will give us an opportunity in the days ahead." Mr. Pearson also told the Commons that Canada has urged the U.S. to take no steps in Viet Nam that might preci- pitate a war. He did so in replying to a sug- gestion by New Democratic Leader Douglas that Canada of- fer to act as a conciliator be- tween the North Vietnamese and the United States. Mr. Pearson said he couid not see how Canada could act as a eonciliator beyond its role with India and Poland as members of the international truce super- visory commission for Indo- china, set up by the Geneva Tass news agency Wednesday t accused the U.S. of com- mitting an openly hostile act by patrolling the North Viet Nam evast. It warned of the possibility of latge + scale military conflict with all its dangerous conse- an said the responsi- bility for these would lie with the U.S. STATEMENT MILD The statement was regarded as unusually mild in tone. Ob- servers said it bespeaks the wide gap now separating the Chinese camp, including North Viet Nam, from the Soviet camp within the Communist fold. The two groups have been carrying on a bitter ideological dispute. The Soviet government news- paper Izvestia Thursday de- scribed. as absurd the U.S. claim that its air strike on to be short of gasoline and to lack a sufficient industrial base for its war machine should it be inyolved in prolonged mili- tary conflict. Intelligence sources say there is no evience of any massive military buildup on the Indo- china border to indicate readi- ness for Chinese movement into North Viet Nam. USE 'VOLUNTEERS'? Peking could try intervening in the style used in Korea, with "volunteers,". or it could try using the crisis as a pretext to heat, up the guerrilla war in Laos, a jungle conflict suitable for Chinese capabilities. But the chances are even that North Viet Nam was a defen- sive measure, Izvestia writer Vikenti Mateyev 'accused the U.S. of heeding South Vietna- mese calls for a northward ex- tension of the Viet Nam war. However, there remains ev- ery indication that the Russians intend to avoid getting directly involved in the crisis. Western diplomats speculated that North Vietnamese torpedo- boat attacks on U.S. warships were deliberately planned to test both American resolve and Soviet policy in Southeast Asia. If the U.S. struck back--which it did--and Russia failed to sup- port its Communist brethren, then Russia stood to lose pres- tige in the world Communist movement. Meanwhile, Premier Khrush- chev continued his four-day-old tour of agricultural areas. His continueq absence from the So- viet capital could be taken as concrete evidence that Russian leaders are trying to play own the Viet Nam crisis. Soviet foreign ministry ex- perts were said to be examin- ing the possibility that China may. be seeking to embroil both Russia and the United States. Diplomatic sources: said Rus- sian officials appeared gen- uinely. surprised by the sudden- ness of the Vietnamese confron- tation, and there seemed to be no doubt that the Soviet gov- ernment was seriously embar- rassed. The general consensus in; Moscow diplomatic circles is that Russia has lost almost all influence in Southeast Asia, and the North Vietnamese Commu- WORKMEN LOAD OTTER WITH SUPPLIES ARCTIC ACTIVITY -- PART 4 Special Kind Of Respect Is Afforded Pilots, Planes By ALLEN SACKMANN MOULD BAY, N.W.T.

These experts, believe Peking will restrict its reaction, at least for the time being, to words rather than deeds, It will probably denounce the U.S. attacks on North Viet Nam, threaten retaliation and demand another Geneva conference to work out a negotiated settle- ment for the Viet Nam war. Some experts on Communist affairs believe such a confer- ence could have been one of Peking's main objectives if it did, as they believe, incite the North Vietnamese to attack U.S. destroyers. GAINED GROUND It that was Peking's objec- tive, it went halfway toward achieving it when the United Nations security council. was called into urgent session at the request of the United States. "If the UN, Peking and Hanoi can hope to further their cause with calls for the neutralization of South Viet Nam and a nego- tiated settlement of the Viet Nam war, presumably through a new conference. Peking can expect an extra dividend from the United Na- tions. The Soviet Union would have to fall in line behind its Asian Communist allies or stand condemned before the Communist world as a traitor to the Communist cause.

Detective - Sergeant Frank Christie, leading the investiga- tion, said an empty beer bottle, two drinking glasses and a leather jacket were removed from the apartment Thursday night.

"If there is any doubt, we usually say no. Rotting -- ice-cause of the Jost MeMurray craft--is just one of the hazards faced by pilots. Fog, blizzards and white-outs (in, which the ground and sky seem to merge into a great white mass) can make flying difficult. "We all sweat occasionally," says Bert, who now flies only "especially when ice starts to form on the aircraft." George Burry, who has been flying in the Arctic for five sea- sons, describes the experience as 'hours of boredom and mo- ments of anxiety." Few other places in the world can match the Arctic for sheer emptiness -- rock and snow-- which makes each trip boring but also makes it difficult for pilots toepick out landmarks.

Tne measure, asked by the Atomic Energy now goes to the House, Members of the joint Senate- House atomic energy commit- tee, which approved it Wednes- day, called it the most signifi- cant change in the basic atomic energy law since the 1954 Re- vision Act. The measure has three basic elements: ; 1. It elimitates the require- ment that all special nuclear materials or fuels must be owned by the United States. 2. It authorizes the AEC for the first time to sell such fuels to domestic purchasers. 3. It permits the initiation of a system of toll enrichment un- der which a potential user of nuclear fuels could buy raw uranium suitable for use in a reactor.
