As Chinese Advance
State of Emergency
Proclaimed in India
m
NEW DELHI, India (UPD-
The government proclaimed a
"state of emergency" through-
out India tonight.

planation of tlip move, which

Mystery Box Hanging in Tree
Finally Retrieved by Cueroite
With the Cuban crisis giving everybody the jitters, How-
ard hleineeke was somewhat hesitant Wednesday to go out
and retrieve a mysterious box he saw hanging in a tree in his
track yard. However, he mustered up courage enough to ven
tore out and investigate.
It hat he found was a Radiosonde used for measuring the
temperature, pressure and moisture of the air at various
heights.
The Radiosonde had been tied to a balloon and sent up
bv a l . S. Weather Bureau Station, and after the balloon
hurst at a height ol about 1* miles, the Radiosonde eame down
on an attached prrarhute.
Ivlelnecke. who lives at 204 W. Alexander, cut the para-
chute aloose from (he object and is going to return it to the
government as requested on the Radiosonde,
During the observation, the Radiosonde operated as a
radio transmitter which was tracked bv a special radio re-
cei\rr at the ground station.
A request printed on the instrument stated the govern-
ment could use it again when returned.

'Blockade Politics7
Charge Lambasted
Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru’s officials moved swiftly
to put India on a war footing.
They called on all Indians to
surrender to the government
their jewelry and hoarded gold
to help pay for the country’s
war effort.
Tne government also announc-
ed a new issue of defense bonds
and hinted at stern economic
measures if the public did not
cooperate in keeping prices
down and end hoarding.
The disclosure of new Com- j
munist advances in the unde-!
clared border war came as Par-!
liament made plans to meet in I
“emergency session a week
from next Thursday.
The idian spokesman said
the adv? ice guard of some 10,-
000 Chinese troops that Wednes-
day captured the monastery
town of Towang had swept five
miles east of the town and clash-
ed with Indian troops at Jang.
This is on the jeep track to
Bomdilla, the capital of the Nor- j
theast Frontier Agency. Anoth-i
er Chinese force has driven 15!
miles south from Kibitoo near j
the Burmese border, the spokes-!
man said.
The national radio network j
said the government also de-1
cided to build up “home guard” j
organizations throughout India!
and to propose reorganization!
of economic plans to meet the i
Red threat.
