CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Today is Valentines’ Day, dedicated to Cupid, but there is no love lost among the chief candidates for the Democratic senatorial nomination. No names are named but the various aspirants are taking pot shots at each other while awaiting the selection of a favorite by patronage-rich Governor Welsh. This choice may never come, in the opinion of James Noland, secretary of the Democratic State Committee, and the senatorial hopefuls may be permitted to battle it out on their own. The governor recently muzzled his department heads from participation in the contest. All three of the major senatorail bidders appear to be clutching almost frantically at the coattails of President Kennedy, even as did the Republican office seekers of yore with respect to President Eisenhower—even including rightwing Sen. William E. Jenner. Claims Kennedy Support Indianapolis Mayor Charles H. Boswell seems to have proved he has the clearest title to any political support from Kennedy. “There are those who now proclaim great devotion for our President since his popularity has reached new heights,” Boswell said. “However, they did not have confidence in him at the time when he greatly needed help from Hoosiers.” Boswell has recalled that he was the first major Hoosier official who backed Kennedy for the presidential nomination after h e had scheduled Kennedy as his chief speaker during Boswell’s mayoralty campaign. Other c ontentions of Boswell are: —Boswell was asked by Kennedy to accompany him to the secre•tatyof state’s office to file in the Indiana Democraticc presidential preference primary, when Kennedy ran the gantlet of heccklers. —After a cold reception from the Indiana delegates to the Demorcatlc national conventionc, Kennedy said to Boswell: “I have a long memory and I will not forget those who supported me in my candidacy.” —After Kennedy was nominated and was eampagning in Indiana hesaid to Boswell: “Mr. Mayor, you were for me in the old of winter.” Seek Coattail Ride Boswell’s chief rivals, former House Speaker Birch Bayh, Jr., Terre Haute, and Marion Mayor M. Jack Edwards, likewise are seeking to ride with the President. Bayh has questioned Boswell’s conservative platform and his silences on the issues of medical care to the aged under social security, federal aid to education, establishment of a federal department of urban affairs and other measures, all advocated by Bayh.

Russia-Red China Riff Stalls Communism's Great Leap Forward EDITORS: The following dispatch is connected with the second in a series of eight “great decisions" formulated by the Forlign Policy Association to stimulate public discussion on world problems. It is on the topic: Red China, third greatest power? Great Decision* II: By CHARLES R. SMITH United Pres* International TOKYO (UPD — Red China’s rift with Soviet Russia and a three - year string of natural calamities coupled with mismanagement have slowed the “great leap forward” to scarcely a crawl. But neither disaster nor the mounting hardships burdening Red China’s 700 million people have eased their leaders* grim challenge to Nikita Khrushchev for leadership of world communism nor dimmed their efforts to spread the gospel of violent revolution. It still is not possible to measure exactly the depth of the rift created by Chinese communist leader Mao Tse - Tung’s quarrel with Khrushchev over the latter’s doctrine of peaceful co-existence nor to determine whether eventually it might lead to an open break between the two Communist giants. Certainly Aheir aims for comuoism’s eventual world conquest remain the same. Externally, the qua rr e 1 has forced Red China into closer, although not friendlier, relations with some of the Western nations. Because of three years of crop failures, she has been forced to use up precious foreign exchange in massive grain purchases from France, Australia and Canada. From Britain, over the objecttons of the United States, she has purchased airplane*. These contribute to the evidence of Red China’s determination to “walk on two legs” independent of the Soviet Union. They also are evidence of the bitterness of their ideological quarrel jn..which. Red China refutes to surrender despite withdrawal of Soviet technicians and the aid which contributed so importantly to Chinese industrial advances in the early days of the “great leap*” Modify Plan Internally, Red China has been forced to modify Mao’s plan which herded hundreds of millions of Chinese peasants into 26,000 giant communes and to agriculture priority over devilment of heavy industry. Despite her own desperate needs, Red China continues to compete with the Soviet Union for influence in the under -developed countries of both South America and Africa. She sends wheat to Albania and has contracted with the Albanians to set up a joint shipping company. She has contracted with the neutral leaders of Laos to build a road and operate an airline linking Laos with southern China. Despite boasts aimed at impressing the world outside the Bamboo Curtain, Red China’s leaders also ate realistic. At the close of the 1950’5, flushed with the early successes of the great leap forward, China claimed to have reached second place in world production of coal, sixth in steel and to have made tremendous strides in other fields of production. . But even then, Premier Chou En-lai said: “Our achievements are phenomenal. But for a country with a population of over 650 milEdwards has proclaimed a similar liberal platform and has said: “It is nonsense for a Democrat to try to pass himself off as a conservative. The Democratic party is, and always has beeft, in favor of legislation supporting progressive social programs.” Robb But Not Sells Many observers believe that the potent union labor wing cannot back Boswell because of his conservatism. Although he has been endorsed by James Robb, steelworkers union head, no statement has been" forthcoming from the most important Hoosier labor chief, Dallas Sells, president of the AFL-CIO. The prejudice of outstate Democrats against an Indianapolis candidate also is not helpful to Boswell,!! has-been pointed out. Meanwhile, a poll taken by Frank Edwards, newscaster for WTTV, Indianapolis, has disclosed that Bayh has considerable strength in Marion County, Boswell’s home bailiwick. Edwards polled 1,298 Demotralic committee men and committeewomen and obtained answers from 31 per cent. The count for senator was Boswell, 261;Bayh, 129; Dr. Herman -j. Wells. Indiana University president,' 11; Appellate Court Judge John S. Gouas, South Bend, 1.

lion, the industrial and agricultural levels we have now reached are still very low .. .** Chou said it would be many more years before China became a truly strong and modern nation. And when Chou made that speech, Red China still counted on help from the Soviet Union. Program Behind Schedule Now her agricultural problems have thrown her whole development program far behind schedule, dried up by drought, washed away by floods and lost in a muddle of economic mismanagement. When, according to her well laid plans, she should be putting more money and effort into heavy industrial production she has been forced to cut back capital investment and de-emphaslze her industrial growth while devoting her major effort to keep agriculture from collapsing. “The most important achievement scored by the Chinese people in 1961,** said the official Peiping People’s Daily newspaper on New Year’s Day, 1962, "was the conquest of the serious natural calamities occurring for the third succesive year and a better grain harvest than in 1960, with only the output of cotton and some other industrial crops less.” The grain production may have been up, but the Peiping regime still did not have enough to feed her millions. Rationing became more strict and she permitted some free enterprise among her peasants to ease the criticacl situation. There is no way of telling how much longer this situation will continue or whether it will get worse before it gets better. There are too many factors involved. In the long haul it is the population problem that may bring the Communists down and prevent them from attaining the position of power to which they aspire. Population Increases One qualified observer, noting that China’s annual population growth was estimated at between 2.2 and 2.5 per cent, said Red China “faces the most difficult problems of any country in the modern world” because the population explosion will eat up gains faster than they can be made in the foreseeable future. “It might be said.” the observer said, “that the fate of the Red China regime rests not so much in its industrial and 1 agricultural progress as in its bedrooms. ” ■ S' In the age of missile and nuclear warfare, China is notably shorthanded. She does not belong to the nuclear club, although some experts believe she could build a bomb this year if she

wished. But it is men that makes China strong, declared Defense Minister Marshal Lin Piao in a speech a little more than a year ago. “We handle both weapons and men, but attach greater importance to man’s role.” Nuclear warfare holds no fears for China, with her virtually unlimited manpower, Lin said. “After all the atom bombings and shellings are over, men would still have to face the enemy with courage, consciousness and the spirit of self-sacrifice from a distance of several dozen meters.” The Peiping People's Daily, organ of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist party, echoed this only a few weeks ago. “We hold that the nuclear bomb has great destructive power and is a weapon of mass slaughter,” the paper said. But, “if imperialism dares to unleash an all-out nuclear war, the result can only be the destruction of imperialism while the victorious peoples will build a beautiful future for themselves on the debris of dead imperialism.” Overestimated Strength Comifiunist China’s role in the Korean War, where she fought the United States to a standstill, gave her immense prestige. It proved that she was indeed a formidable foe when fought on her ojvn terms and methods. It result-

ed in general over-estimation of her military strength, according to most American military experts. It was the Soviet Union that supplied China with arms and equipment in that affair. And it was primarily the fear of Russian involvement, not China’s strength, that prevented the United States from taking the steps necessary to ensure complete victory. A recent study of China’s economic problems, her quarrel with the Soviet Union and her position of power by a respected journal on Chinese affairs (The China Quarterly) had this to say: “Peiping is in the midst of an economic crisis that is expected to last for three years at least. Without Soviet military, economic and diplomatic support it is a third-rate power. The voices of ‘conciliators’ in the Chinese party must surely be arguing that now is not the time to force the issue with Moscow, that the ‘balance of forces’ at this time is patently on the Soviet side, that the matter on overriding importance is to build up the Chinese economy so that it can enter the ranks of the great powers and that only then will China be in a position to challenge Soviet leadexship of the (Communist) bloc.” If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ’ ads — they get BIG results.
