United Press International
MOSCOW (UPI) —The Krem
lin has sent Its top three leaders
en an unprecedented mission to
Communist East Europe ap
parently to win new backing for
the Soviet campaign to sever
Red China from the Communist
movement
A surprise announcement
Thursday night revealed a
secret trip to Poland Tuesday
and Wednesday by Communist
party chief Leonid I. Brezhnev,
President Nikolai Podgorny and
Premier Alexei N. Kosygin.
It was the first time since
they took power that the three
Kremlin leaders had traveled
abroad together.
Possibly Other Visits
The announcement made no
mention of their return to
Moscow, sparking speculation
that the “Troika” may have

gone on to other East European
satellite countries for equally
clandestine talks.
A communique issued here
and in Warsaw said the Soviet
and Polish leaders achieved
"full identity of views” on “the
present-day international situa
tion and the situation in the
world Communist movement.”
nils was a clear reference to
both the Vietnam war and the
Sino-Soviet split.
The Vietnam situation has not
appeared to have changed
radically since October, obser
vers in Moscow said—but the
China situation has.
Urge Spurs Action
The rapid events in Red
China, beginning with Mao Tse
tung’s feverish “cultural revolu
tion” purge and reaching a high
point with the fighting in
Nanking, may have persuaded
the Kremlin that urgent moves
Friday, January 20, 1967
were needed.
Poland already has backed
the Soviet call for a world
Communist summit meeting to
isolate China from the move
ment.
The Soviets see the “cultural
revolution” as a black eye on
the Communist movement as a
whole, and are anxious to have
the movement formally detach
itself from the Chinese events

For India
May Be Late
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign News Analyst
Close by the forbidding peaks
of the Himalayas, along the
unmarked borders with Tibet
and Nepal, lies Uttar Pradesh,
the home state of India’s
premier, Mrs. Indira Gandhi.
Next to it is the state of Bihar.
Total population of the two is
close to 100 millin.
Under normal conditions, with
ample rainfall, irrigation and
double cropping, both are
important producers of rice,
wheat, barley and other grains.
Uttar Pradesh is India's chief
producer of sugar. Bihar is rich
in minerals.
But both have been stricken
by drought and among children
there already are the shrunken
limbs and the distended bellies
which mark starvation.
Thousands May Die
By the end of 1967, it is
feared that thousands will die.
Last spring millions went
hungry in the nearby states of
Orissa and Madhya Pradesh.
In this season when Christians
exchange gifts and presumably
turn their thoughts toward
peace and good will, neither a
war nor starvation make
pleasant subjects.
The season made It fitting,
then, that Just before Christmas
the United States should an
nounce it was shipping to India
900,000 tons of wheat and
sorghum in emergency aid.
Unfortunately for those alrea
dy on the verge of starvation, it
may arrive too late.
It normally takes four weeks
to get the grain to U.S. ports
and four more to reach India.
It has been a bad year for
India, perhaps the worst in its
20 years of independence.
Despite the shipment of nine
million tons of grain from the
United States’ own dwindling
stores, food riots were common
place thrughout 1966.
’ A Rough Year
For Mrs. Gandhi, too, it has
been a rough year.
When she bowed to pressures
from abroad that she devalue
the rupee and open the doors to
foreign investment in fertilizer
plants, far left-wing Socialists in
her Congress party accused her
of selling out to the United

BACKBONE of Mao Tse-tung’s power has been the “cul
tural Revolution,” in which he urges his countrymen to
throw out all foreign influences and direct every effort,
every China thought, toward the technological advancement of
and the eventual formation of the perfect Com
munistic state. Maoist teachings pervade factories, homes
and even the harvest field, as shown above.

Whatever happened to the
old statement, “A man is as
good as his word”? Early in
this new year we might take
a fresh look at the problem.
When the promises that men
live by become casual, then
the very fabric of our civiliza
tion is in danger.
When the late Adlai Steven
son, then U.S. ambassador to
the United Nations, was ac
cused of being a “soft com
promiser” there were immedi
ate overtones. Everyone de
nied everything, and yet the
man’s abilities and influence
were tarnished.
It was not just a matter of
whether it was true or not; it
was the manner in which it
was done.
What happens to public in
fluence and a judgment of in
tegrity if a man is tried by
unidentified innuendo? What
tion happens to personal reputa
when petty gossip is tol
erated?
Or consider athletes, col
lege-bred, and adept enough
to be considered for profes
sional jobs, who simultane
ously sign two or three con
tracts. Doesn’t a college grad
uate know the meaning of his
own signature on a contract?
.We have just celebrated no
table religious festivals and
come into another year which
will exhibit the measure of
those festivals. If what we
have done publicly has merit,
then it will be expressed in a
new birth of the integrity of
a word.
• If perjury becomes a
casual happening, our legal
structure is undermined.
• If personal lying be
comes then an accepted procedure,
endangered. our daily relationships
are
• If personal debts and fi
nancial obligations are as-
States.
So far, the devaluation has
not helped India’s economic
position and the cost of living
has increased steadily.
The nation’s fourth five-year
plan should have gone into
effect in April, 1966, but has not
done so even yet, partly
because some. Western nations
have not come through with
promised aid.
In February, 1967, India holds
national elections.
It is agreed that the ruling
Congress party which has
governed India scnie the
beginning, will return to office.
But only because there is
nothing else to take its place.

sumed without a sense of re
sponsibility, our economic fu
ture is endangered.
• If there is no sense of
conscience about speaking the
truth, then personal promises
and public treaties become a
mockery.
Our religious faith has a va
lidity not only because of its
public ceremony but also be
cause of the personal com
mitment of individuals and
groups. It is at the point of
the identification of man’s
ideals, hopes, ambitions and
desires in allegiance with his
religious faith that the whole
purpose of its existence be
comes clear. God is as good as
His word; godliness is the ex
pression of this ideal.
In contrast to the meaning
less nihilism of so much of
cynical relationships there is
the blessed little prayer writ
ten by John Baillie, which
should be renewed throughout
this year of 1967:
Lord grant me: The grace
of strict truthfulness; The
grace refrain of charity that I may
from hasty judgment;
The grace of silence that 1
may refrain from hasty
speech; The grace of forgive
ness toward all /who have
wronged me; F or give me
Lord; the unkind word and
the unkind silence:
