Red Chinese troop garrisons along the Soviet border are being strengthened. , Open clashes between Chinese and Soviet troops along the Sino Soviet border are reported.

Even Castro, Cuba, Berlin and Khrushchev have had to take a back seat to the Chinese puzzle that has been' perplexing offi-cial and unofficial Washington and confounding the world. There is no end of speculation about why Red China has chosen this time to invade the disputed Indian border areas, denounce Khurshchevism, and then waver between war and peace,-- "Peace-ful Co-existen- ce" and Stalinism. Secretry of State Dean Rusk has added to the speculation by injecting a startling and mysti-fying note in interenational re-lations with his statement that "we are on the edge of unpre-cedented events that could affect the peace of the whole world." viet bibena could solve their food problem. Chinese jingoists are demanding Russian ouster from oil rich Sinkiang. Chinese extremists are putting pressure on Outer Mongolia, the Russian buffer state, to slip behind the Bamboo Curtain. Russia can see the handwrit-ing on the wall. Historically, Moscow has feared invasion of the Eastern hordes and sees that aggressive Red Chinese Com-munism is becoming a potential threat. If you talk to the man on the street inside Russia you see he is much more fearful of an-other Chinese sweep over Russia than he is of the West. The Kremlin is scared. It believes it can hoodwink the West into de-feat with Peaceful Coexistence. It knows Red China is aggressive and only understands force. For all its crocodile tears over Red China's Indian attack, Mos-cow would like to see Red China embroiled in a long costly war in Southeast Asia with the West, notably the US, and come in and pick up the pieces after both have been bled white. A Red China embroiled with India would not be able for ages if ever to attack the Chinese- - There were unexplained re-ports from the Kremlin that Khrushchev, stung by his failure to establish Soviet missile bases in Cuba was preparing to un-leash a new peace campaign. West German Chancellor Ade-nauer now openly fearful of new Western compromises on Berlin was warning Washington to be wary of new peace offerings made by the Soviets just because they have been embarrassed by setbacks in Cuba and by the Red Chinese. ' ' There were mounting reports as well as official "trial bal-loons" that Russia might be will-ing to reach Berlin and disarm-ament compromises with the West in exchange for a non-aggressi- on treaty between the Al-lied North Atlantic Treaty Or-ganization and Soviet Warsaw Pact. ' .v This whole apparent turnabout in the Cold War began when Mr. Khrushchev ooenly displayed his Kussian irontier. For this reason the West must be wary of counting on Soviet aid to pressure Red China into retreating from India. There is nothing Moscow would like to see more than Red China and the West bogged down in a cost-ly, bloody war leaving the Krem-lin free to grow stronger and move elsewhere. , However, if this ploy should fail, the Soviets would like the West to guarantee its own fron-tier against attack. If this sounds incredible, Moscow appears to be shaping the Berlin crisis to accomplish this. Reports emanating from the Kremlin indicate that Moscow may be "willing" to ease the Berlin "crisis" in return for an East-We- st non-aggressi- on pact that would secure Russia's Euro-pean frontier. Ironically, this would prob-ably have its greatest value to Moscow in the Far East. Soviets are reasonably sure that Western Allies would never attack the Soviets first and that the old bugaboo of German militarism is now under NATO control. What Russia wants is an East-We- st non-aggressi- on treaty that would commit both East and West to come to each other's aid if either is attacked, regard-less of the aggressor. As far fetched as it may seem now Rus-sia would like to have NATO's aid if it's attacked by the Red Chinese. ... missiles in Cuba, withdrew them and was plunged into a major ideological dispute with Red China over whether Communist strategy should be aggressively or peacefully co-existe- nt. How do all the pieces fit to-gether? Why is Red China's attack on heretofore Neutralist India having such an effect on hopes for a peaceful settlement in Berlin? This more, than the future of Castro, or Nehru is the really bir issue perplexing even the keenest observers in the Cold War. Washington's policymak-ers are convinced they know the answer. Red China's invasion of India was a bold bid for strategic mili-tary advantage in all of South-east Asia. By leaping over India Mountain frontier Peking laid the whole of tndia , and all of Southeast Asia open to attack whenever it chooses, it threatens to split Pakistan from the South East .Asia .Treaty Organization, might push Burma, Thailand and Nepal into the Red Chinese orbit and ? might add riches of India's Assam to its own foundering war and economic machine." ' Viewed from Moscow, China's attack on India is seen as dra-matic declaration that the Red Chinese have embarked on an aggressive . expansionism 'the Kremlin is no longer able to control.. ' Most Cold War observers be-lieve Moscow is not too unhappy over Red China's attack on In-dia, despite its crocodile tears, publicly stated fears and open admission that a Moscow-Pekin- g split formally exists. BYU Coed Wins Nutrition Award If your son is looking for a girl who can cook "better than Mom," send him to see Ann L. Pack, 18, BYU student. The young lady is winner of the State 4-- H Foods-Nutritio- n Award. She will attend the 41st National 4-- H Congress in Chi-cago next week as a guest of General Foods, sponsor of the program. Approximately 800,000 4-- H boys and girls in the 50 states and Puero Rico participated in the National 4-- H Food-Nutriti- on Awards program this year, mak-ing it the largest single program in the entire 4-- H movement, i Six state Winners will be named national winners of $400 college scholarships from Gen-eral Foods during the Congress in Chicago's Conrad Hilton Ho-tel next week. The 4-- H Foods-Nutritio- n pro-gram stresses the necessity of a balanced diet in maintaining health. Younger 4-- H members in the program complete simple projects such as listing their favorite foods, and foods they don't like or have not tasted. Ad-- ! vanved members study nutrition plan balanced family meals and entire menus, shop for the food, cook it, then serve it on a prop-erly set table. Many also enter prize recipes and demonstrate modern food methods. In Chicago, winners will be addressed by leaders in govern-ment, education and business, entertained and interviewed by the press along with other 4-- H program winners from coast to coast. Miss Pack, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Pack, Pleasant Grove, has been a 4-- H member for nine years. In 1961 she was a delegate to the UN Model As-sembly at the University of Utah. Her favorite 4-- H activity is meal preparation. She has been her Sunday School organist and last year was lead singer in the mu-sical "Promised Valley." She is one of eight children. Baby Feeding Holds Key to Adult Obesity Obesity among many Ameri-can adults may stem from over feeding of babies. There is no proof that choles-terol levels and heart diseases are linked in a cause and effect relationship. Fad or crash diets are at best of no value and possibly harmful. As many as one of every four overweight persons may be the victim of a metalobic defect that makes them gain weight even when eating a proper and limit-ed diet. Eating three meals a day is not a necessary regimen for good health. In fact, a good way to lose weight is to eat more than three meals a day but to consume a fewer number of total calories. These are some of the views of six medical experts on nu-trition and dieting stated in the current issue of McCall's maga-zine. "The usual American concept of the well fed, plump or fat baby is probably not a desirable one from the viewpoint of health in adult years," stated Dr. Fred J. Stare, chairman of the de-partment of Nutrition at the Harvard School Public Health. "Food is offered not only to satisfy hunger but as a reward, a punishment, or a bribe often I'm afraid as a substitute for attention and understanding. It is easier to give a child a cookie than to pay attention to what he really needs, and this concept of food as a panacea carries into adult life." The doctors agreed that fad diets would probably not cause physical harm to the person who attempted it, but that it would not do any good. Fad diets were sharply criti-cized, however, by Dr. William J. Darby, director of the Divi-sion of Nutrition at Vanderbilt School of Medicine. "Such diets manage to imply that there is a special magic, an almost mythical power, in the particular food being empha-sized. This, of course, is non-sense." Dr. W. Stanley Hartcroft, di-rector of the research institute at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, added that people who go on crash diets "become impos-sible to live with. So whether they do themselves harm or not, they do harm to the people near them." While noting that excessive body fat endangers health, the doctors were unanimous in cit-ing lack of proof that high cho-lestr- ol levels are linked in a cause and effect relationship of heart attacks. Dr. C. Glen King, president of the Nutrition Foundation, has urged people "to realize that fats in a mixed diet make a pos-itive contribution." Many overweight people are being truthful when they say they don't overeat, according to Dr. Edgar S. Gordon, Professor of Medicine, University Hos-pitals, University of Wisconsin. Dr. Gordon said studies show that such people suffer from a metabolic defect called metabolic obesity, "as easy to recognize as diabetes. I think it may account for about one-four- th of all ob-esity cases." The doctors agreed that the three meal a day regimen is not necessarily the most conducive for health or proper weight. Many Americans really fol-low a one meal a day pattern, starving themselves at breakfast and eating a heavy dinner, Dr. Gordon noted. ! ran j MORE K-MO-RE Where Ifa A uj ml D AlIthe Timet THE NEW kmur 1230 - v On Every Radio CARE Launches Food Crusade . A little girl in Central Amer-ica who sits quietly in school, eyes glazed and blue spotched arms hanging at her sides; a fisherman in South Vietnam; working desperately to finish a new boat to replace the one lost in his flight from the red-hel- d north; a whole village of people in Iran, left homeless by recent earthquakes; a family in Hong Kong, working against time to build a poultry farm before the rains; these and thousands of others will be fed this year by residents of Colorado, Wyoming and Utah through the CARE Food Crusade. Residents of the three state area sent over 67,000 $1.00 food packages last year, a total of 1,695,000 pounds of food. While food packages make up only of the international CARE pro-gram, the packages form the ba-sis for all aid, technical, edu-cational or medical. CARE Food Crusade packages are used in 20 countries to feed students while they learn to become self sup-porting. Food Crusade contributions may be sent to CARE, 1631 Glenarm, Denver 2, Colorado. Gift certificates which send food packages overseas in the names of friends and relatives are also available at the CARE office for holiday giving. w A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the par-ent of all the other virtues.
