Aid Plan India Famine, NEW DELHI (Reuters) Fears of widespread famine deaths in India have abated with President Johnson's nrom- ise of massive U.S. food aid. Following a study by the U.S. Agency for International Devel- opment which says India will need 430,000,000 to 480,000,000 bushels of wheat by March to stave off starvation, Johnson now is understood to be aiming to send 500,000,000 bushels just to be sure. Indian Food Minister Chidam- bara Subramaniam, on his just- completed Washington visit, asked for 350,000,000 bushels. Famine fears followed the un- usually light June - to - October monsoon rains, labelled a ca- lamity of a magnitude unknown in recent' years.

In Viet Nam, the United States announced the start of a 30-hour Christmas truce while the Communists promised to halt hostilities for 42 hours. But the 24 hours before were as bloody as ever, and U.S. offi- cials expected the war to re- sume in full violence after mid- night Christmas. India and Pakistan stood en- trenched in hostile positions along their border, deadlocked in the Kashmir dispute. India also confronted the menace of China, whose border troops have been involved in recent shooting incidents with Indian patrols. Unrest and fear still stalked the streets of Santo Domingo in the wake of last April's revolt in the Dominican Republic, "It'll be the worst Christmas of my life," said one nervous house- wife. The military and the reb- els remained enmeshed in mu- tual resentment and suspicion. In Africa, black-ruled nations kept up demands that Britain in- vade Rhodesia and crush the white-minority regime. The Brit- ish, who limited their reaction to economic sanctions, are wor- ried that the tensions may burst into a race war. Indonesia, although wracked by instability at home, showed no sign of letting up in its "crush Malaysia" campaign, Iran was reported reinforcing its border with Iraq with a squadron of fighter planes after br alleged attacks by Iraqi iGs, AND TENSION MAR CHRISTMAS In the quiet hills of the Holy Land, 15,000 Christians were ex- pected to visit Bethlehem, where Christ was born.

In his annual Christmas ad- dress Thursday night, the spir- itual leader of the world's 550,- 000,000 Roman Catholics called for "just and sincere negotia- tion to restore order and friend- | ship."" | As is often the case, the Pope |did not mention the country he had in mind, nor the belliger- ents. involved.

In ja general peace appeal, like jmany of his in the past, he |could have talked of efforts to end differences, to seek greater understanding, to put aside mu- tual animosities. But this time he used "'nego- tiation' when the world press is full of talk of negotiations about Viet Nam. Just four days ear- lier, in urging Christmas ceasefire, the Pope did identify Viet Nam and ask that all ne- gotiation possibilities be pur- sued. |spRAKS GENERALLY Several considerations often induce the Pope to speak in general rather than specific terms on world issues. It is felt at the Vatican that by using specific references sparingly, the pontiff can exert far greater impact on those oc- casions when he thinks that a precise and blunt reference is absolutely needed. The papacy also strives for utter neutrality in political dis- putes, to avoid any impression of favoring or opposing one side on political grounds. The Vatican does not want to give any side in a dispute any propaganda opportunities to claim Vatican support, whether moral or political, by seizing on names he might voice. The Vatican also works to preserve on the diplomatic level a reputation for reliability and By THOMAS A. REEDY SAIGON (AP) -- The armed might of the United States and its allies in Viet Nam was put under wraps at 6 p.m. (5 a.m. EST) today to start a 30- hour Christmas ceasefire. The Viet Cong said they will observe the truce for 12 hours, announcing three times on their radio today that they will un- dertake no offensive action or acts of terrorism from 7 p.m. Christmas Eve, one hour after the allied ceasefire started, until 7 a.m, Saturday, 17 hours before the U.S.-South Vietna- mese truce periods ends. All American and allied 'units were on the alert and had or- ders to react sharply in self- from. initia tions. U.S. officials in Washington expected the truce to hold for the first 12 hours, since the Communists had set that period themselves. They hoped the Viet Cong would join in the extended ceasefire proclaimed by the U.S. and South Vietnamese command. They believe the war will resume in full violence after that. Guerrillas launched a heavy mortar attack during the night against Lac Son, about 30 miles south of Da Nang, and overran two of its outlying posts. They inflicted heavy casualties onthe defenders, but the main' post held out. South Vietnamese of- ficers reported 100 Viet Cong bodies in the area-and the Viet Cong withdrawing at daybreak. U.S. and South Vietnamese forces claimed 172 Viet Cong killed in three other operations Thursday in the central high- lands. One American wounded and light Vietnamese casualties were reported. The approach of the Christ- mas truce was accompanied by rising pressure from around the world for a longer ceasefire and for peace talks to end the war. State department officials in iting any offensive ac- defence although prohibited 7 UR ca U.S., Allies Begin 30-Hour Ceasefire Negroes Set [Pontiff | Viet Cong Pledges Only 12 Hours Of Ceasefire Washington were silent about possible U.S. responses to the pressure. The British foreign office ex- pressed satisfaction with the truce, but a spokesman said the British government was plan- ning no move to seek an exten- sion beyond the 30 hours. From the Vatican, Pope in his Christmas message to the world, appealed for "just and sincere negotiation to restore order and friendship." The Ro- man Catholic pontiff clearly re- ferred to Viet Nam, although he did not name it. Meanwhile, China's official New China news agency, sum- ming up' events in Viet Nam luring 1965, declared that the U.S. government revealed 'more glaringly than ever be- fore its essence as a paper tiger." "Events in the past year have shown that no matter how many more troops and up - to - date weapons the United States may throw into the war, they will be buried in the sea of a people's war," the agency declared. China's official Peking People's Daily also blasted Washington for its authorization to U.S. forces to fire across the Cambodian and Laotian borders at Communists attacking them. "Should U.S. imperialism dare to attack Cambodia," the Communist party organ said, "the §50,000 000 Chinese neanle will firmly support the Cambo- dian people to utterly defeat the U.S. aggressors."'
