Indian Leader On Red China Visit Report Nehru To Seek Guarantees NEW DELHI (INS) — Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who arrived in Red China today for a ten-day visit, may ask the leaders of the Peiping regime to back up tfieir talk of “peaceful coexistence" with guarantees. . Sources close to Nehru pictured the prime minister, who has been regarded as “neutralist," as- becoming “increasingly disillusioned” over the prospects of peace in Asia. As a result, these sources said, Nehru may “talk tough” to Red Chinese leader Mao Tse-tiJng when their forthcoming conversations get around to the subject of pre>eerving peace in Asia. High-ranking sources in New Delhi, who have been hinting at Ahls new Indian attitude to representatives of the western press, disclosed that most Indian leaders no longer were willing to accept Communist Chinese propaganda. An on-the-spot check confirmed tltat these leaders now* want firm- " assurances" from Wiping Concerning the discontinuance of Red subversive activities in Southeast Asia. Assurances also will be sought from the Reds that they are willing to end tiheir war-like attitude toward the nationalist stronghold of Formosa and show “patience” toward American foreign policy. In fact. Nehru 'has indicated in recent speeches that his previous unblushing friendship with Red China is weakening, and that he will demand in his super-secret talks with Mao and premier Chou En-lal that the Peiping regime give concrete evidence of its willingness to help maintain Asian •eace. Nehru’s close associates explained to International News Service that- the prime minister "is not a stupid man.” They added: “He knows coexistence won’t work if it involves a relationship between a fowl and a fox. He is out to determine whether Peiping ia going to insist on beglng a fox to southeast Asia's fowl.” Legion Hobo Party Here Tuesday Night It was erroneously announced in Saturday’s Daily Democrat that the American Legion hobo party, with a mulligan stew dinner, would be Thursday night.
