Red China Premier Asks For Pressure TOKYO (UPI) — Communist Chinese Foreign Minister Chen Yi has called on “friendly Asian and African nations” to help pressure India into accepting China’s proposals for talks on the border war, Peiping Radio said today. Chen Yi’s appeal, however, was coupled with a new declaration by the Peiping regime that it will not accept India’s conditions for resumption of negotiations. India’s conditions, as put forth several times by Premier Jawaharlal Nehru, provide for the restoration of the border situation as it was prior ,s to Sept. 8,1962. "To revert to the position as it prevailed all along the India-Chi-na boundary prior to Sept. 8, 1962, would mean a re-occupation by Indian troops of large tracts of Chinese territory north of the ‘McMahon Line’ and east of the Sino-Indian traditional boundary line in the western sector,” the Chinese radio said in a broadcast monitored n Tokyo. Chen Yi’s appeal to Afro-Asian nations to exert diplomatic efforts to help end the border conflict was made at a Peiping reception giver? Friday night by Cambodian Ambassador Norodom Monissara. “We believe that all those countries and people, particularly the friendly Asian and African countries, who treasure the five principles of peaceful coexistence and the 10 principles of the Bandung conference . . . can use their position to urge to Indian government to make a positive response to the Chinese government’s proposals,” Chen .Yi said. Elwood Fire Chief Dies Fighting Fire ELWOOD, Iftd.

REV. GERALD L. WILSON, state director of CROP (Christian Rural Overseas Program), goes over some CROP figures, to see if the state will be able to reach its goal of $162,000 in 1962. Much of the relief food sent overseas actually comes from Indiana producers through Indiana companies, as well as sending huge quantities of U. S. surplus food abroad, paying for shipping and warehouse staff costs overseas. CROP tripled the amount of self-help projects, using tools, seeds, and even small factories, in 1961, largely due, to increased contributions from counties such as Adams and Wells.

Urges Acquittal Os Belgian Family LIEGE, Belgium (UPD—A defense attorney at Belgium’s “thalidomide trial” asked the jury today to find Suzanne Van De Put and her family innocent of mercy killing because they have already been punished. Jean Derwael made his plea in summing up the defense of Mrs. Van De Put, 25; her husband, Jean, 35; her mother, Mrs. Fernande Coipel, 50; and the family physician, Dr. Jacques Casters, 33, all of whom are charged with complicity in the murder in May of Mrs. Van De Put’s week-old, deformed daughter, Corinne. Mrs. Van De Put has admitted she fed the armless child—deformed, she says, by the drug thalidomide —an overdose of barbiturates. Derwael told the packed courtroom a verdict of not guilty would not mean there has been a lack of punishment. “Suzanne already has underDerwael asked the court in an emotionally-charged address: “Which mother has more courage?

It is possible when the i accused acted under a strong moral compulsion, Derwael said. He argued that conviction meant “branding these people as criminals which they certainly are not.” Following a recess, other de-1 sense lawyers for the family told jurymen it was their job “to make an appreciation” of the mo-' tive of the accused.
