"In the meantime, he should be made clearly aware that Indi has no intention of permitting him to shot his way to a Kashmir plebiscite," Nehru said.

Smathers, D. Fla. Long said the President "was well advised" in sending in troops, and suggested former President Dwight D. Eisenhower would have reacted more strongly in Cuba had he known Fidel Castro would plunge that country into communism. "What's wrong with trying to save a country from communism?" Smathers asked and said of the troops: "I totally agree the number sent was not too many." Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, put forth his views in a lengthy statement, much of which he delivered in a Senate speech.

It capped disagreement within his committee so sharp that a study of U.S. intervention in the Dominican crisis produced no reports by the group, with none expected. Disagreement Voiced Sen. Russell B. Long, BEER BEER NATIONAL BOHEMIAN 6 Pack, 12 Oz.

Teller For New NEW ORLEANS, La. (AP) thrown Two giant pumps were into a battle today to drain hurricane Betsy's flood waters from eastern New Orleans where thousands of persons were driven from their homes five days ago. City police roped off a 300- block area in the flooded section as a health menace. A nauseatling stench permeated the area which was cluttered with mud, green scum, debris and hundreds of animal carcasses. While the cleanup campaign expanded, controversy flared over the Civil Defense agency's role in warning of the impending disaster.

Dr. Edward Teller, nuclear physicist, said, in an interview Tuesday night with the New Orleans States-Item, if the Civil Defense organization here "had been on its toes," the who died in the flood would have been evacuated earlier from the potential flood areas. "It is incredible," Teller told a reporter, "that people had only 20 minutes between the time they first knew water was rising and the time it reached a height over their heads to get out. Then it's too late." Louisiana counted 62 hurricane deaths, most of them as the result of tides driven over eastern New Orleans and adjoining St. Bernard Parish.

Teller, here to address a meeting, said the death toll and the hurricane would have been considerably less if the city's Civil Defense structure had been adequately prepared. City Civil Defense Director Charles W. Erdmann denied Teller's charge about inadequate preparedness. "We were prepared, even two days before," Erdmann said. "The people did have adequate warning.

"I am afraid that he (Teller) is not in possession of all the facts," added the state Civil Defense director, Marshall Cappel. "I know that warning was issued at the earliest possible moment." The Army Corps of Engineers hauled in two large diesel-driven pumps to remove water from White House announced yestersecretary Horace Busby N. Goodwin, right. Both key assistants, will return Blasts Officials Orleans an area hardest hit. City officials also expected to return to operation within a couple of days a regular pumping station knocked out by Betsy's fury.

Life was returning to normal in other parts of the city. Electric power was restored to 70 per cent of the homes along with 86 per cent of the telephone service. Efforts were being made to reopen the Mississippi, closed at Baton Rouge since Sunday. A 300-man force searched for a barge loaded with 600 tons of chlorine sealed in four tanks. Officials were fearful that a river vessel might strike the barge and rupture the tanks.

The White House said in ordering a full-scale search operation that this much chlorine is capable of killing up to 60,000 persons under certain conditions. Gov. John J. McKeithen, who said he expected storm damage to exceed a billion dollars, pledged efforts of his administration to "see that nothing like this occurs in our state again."
