United States and China. Diplomatic observers felt that on balance Soviet interests had been damaged rather than helped by the premier's 11-day trip to North Viet Nam, China and North Korea. They saw Russia as having been drawn, possibly by subterfuge on the part of the Chinese and North 'Vietnamese, into the Viet Nam conflict in a way and on a scale that it probably did not intend.

Observers speculated that it will take a long time for the Soviets to put' the pieces to- gether again. Some observers felt the Soviet government fell into a trap by sending Kosygin to North Viet Nam. The belief is that the Chi- nese and Hanoi Communists "etaged for his benefit the as- saults on U.S. military installa- tions in South Viet Nam which they knew would bring Ameri- Recently published reports have also linked Denis with the case of Stonehill, an American millionaire who has been ex- pelled from Canada and who faces fraud charges in the U.S. Chief Justice Dorion said De- nis is being recalled to the wit- ness box to test his credibility. The judge recal'ed that Denis had testified before the inquiry |that he didn't even want to hear about the Liberal party cam- paign fund let alone talk about it Denis had denied that he had suggested that a person acting for Rivard should get in touch with Senator Louis P. Gelinas, |Liberal party treasurer in Que- ec. Chief Justice Dorion noted {that the published report on the Stonehill case said that Denis had mentioned Senator Gelinas and a sum of $25.000 or $30,000. Dornan is connected with the case because he introduced De- nis to Stonehill and Williamson. Mr. Pearson has said Dornan acted with "perfect propriety." The judge re-read earlier tes- timony in which Denis "said again and again that the Liberal campaign fund was none of his business and that he had been ordered by Mr. Tremblay never to have anything to do with it. Denis had told Liberal organ- jizer Guy Masson, "Don't speak to me about election funds." Masson has testified that $60,- 000 was available to the Liberal party if Rivard's extradition to the U.S. were blocked. Chief Justice Dorion said there were 'flagrant contradic- tions" in the testimony of cer- tain witnesses and one of his most difficult tasks was to de- cide which witness or witnesses) to believe. | me U.S. Predicts China N-Test WASHINGTON (AP)--A state] department spokesman said to-| day the United States "'has| reason to believe that Commu- nist China is preparing for an- other nuclear test." | Press officer Robert.

(AP) A Saturn I rocket, penferming flawlessly, hurled a "space bird" satellite into. orbit today to measure meteoroids. The space traveller's assign- ment was to measure and count the impacts with space debris and report back with electronic "squawks."' Word was awaited from track- ing stations as to whether the satellite unfolded its giant wings to absorb and relay the blows. It was the eighth success in a row for the big booster on which the United States counts for major manned space ven- tures. The huge rocket later, the National Aeronautics and Space administration reported that the rocket had done everything expected of it and had drilled into orbit. An announcement said a shroud covering the pay- load had been jettisoned.

Shastri Quitting Portends NEW DELHI (AP) -- A de- mand for Prime Minister Shas- tri's resignation as a means of ending India's bloody language riots portends trouble for Shas- tri when Parliament opens its annual budget session Wednes- day. Socialist leader Ram Mano- har Lohia, a former member of Shastri's governing Congress party, told a rally in the south India town of Secunderabad that India's minority language areas would get "justice and equality" only if a non-Hindi-speaking man is prime minister, Shas- tri's mother tongue is Hindi. Lohia has only a small left- wing following in Parliament, but Shastri's support in his own party has been visibly weak- ened by the weeks of rioting in southern India protesting the proclamation of Hindi as India's only official language. The violence spread Monday to Andhra Pradesh state, Two Trouble persons were killed and six were injured when police fired on a mob of about 10,000 per- sons setting fire to the North Nellore railway station. A cur- few was put on the town and all schools were closed. Andhra Pradesh is north of Madras state, where nearly 60 persons died in rioting earlier. Madras is a Tamil - speaking area. The outbreak of violence in Andhra, where Telugu is spoken, indicated the anti-Hindi trouble might spread to all the minority language areas of In- dia. Elsewhere in Andhra, police fired tear gas at a mob of 5,000 at Anatapur, girl students in Kurnwool went on a fast, stu- dents boycotted classes in Cud- dappah and trains were halted at Dharmavaram The famous Gandhi disciple Vinoba Bhaye went into the fifth day of a fast protesting the language riots. Kosygin Demands Troops Removed From Viet Nam MOSCOW (CP)--Moscow ra- dio warned the United States today that continued strikes against North Viet Nam could ignite a world war. Soviet Premier Alexei Kosy- gin also has called for the with- drawal of U.S. troops and mili- tary equipment from South Viet Nam, Tass news agency said. In an, English-language broad- cast beamed at North America, Moscow radio said: "The flames of war starting in one plece could easily spread to neighboring countries and, in the final count, embrace the whole world. "This is the situation that is developing in South Viet Nam. "This is the danger that re- ally exists and responsibility falls wholly on the U.S.A." The broadcast accused the United States of new raids against North Viet Nam and said; "To this end large contingents of the U.S, armed forces are being concentrated off the shores of Indochina, including an extremely powerful strike force from the U.S. 7th Fleet. "But America should know that democratic Viet Nam is @ member of the socialist commu- nity and will not be left to stand ajone."" Kosygir's statements were contaned in a message of greet- ings to Asian Communist na- tions taking part in the prep- aratory meeting of the Indochin people's conference at Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Truck Convoy Ambushed, Viet Guerillas Kill 32 SAIGON (CP) -- South Viet Nam's new premier, Dr. Phan Huy Quat, and his cabinet, the ninth in the last 16 months, as- sumed office today. On the war front, a U.S. spokesman said Viet Cong guer- rillas ambushed a truck convoy in a mountain pass north of Sai- gon Monday, killing one-third of the government soldiers. The ambush left 32 govern- ment men dead, eight wounded and 10 missing, About-10@ men were on the trucks. One Viet Cong was wounded and captured. Quat, former foreign minister, presented his 21-member cabi- net to chief of state Phan Khac Suu. Three army officers were in-|. cluded in the cabinet that will replace a caretaker government ruling the country since the military overthrow of Buddhist- opposed Premier Tran Van Hu- ong last month. U.S: APROVES The U.S. mission, comment- ing on the new cabinet, wel- comed "the end of the interim eriod." Z The mission spokesman said: "We look forward to very close co-operation with this new gov- ernment." The . militant Buddhists are strongly represented in the cab- inet. A significant inclusion was Tran Quang Thuan as minister of social welfare. He held the post in Lt. Gen. Nguyen Khanh's first cabinet after Jan. 30, 1964, but quit after a series of public arguments with Khanh, the country's strongman gen- eral. Since then, Thuan has served as a lay spokesman for the Buddhists who have played a major part in destroying other Saigon governments. Khanh, who set up the new government, did not attend the inaugural. SELECTION DELAYED Selection of Quat as premier had been delayed when the mili- tary balked at plans to appoint Tran Van Tuyen as minister. Tuyen is originally from North Viet Nam and it was argued he would have dif- ficulty in the post because of having to deal with the touchy -- groups of South Viet am. Tuyen was named a deputy premier and vice-«minister for planning, and Nguyen Hoa Hiep, a southerner, was named interior minister. In a speech today, Quat said all bases for Communist aggres- en Suk Boy Communist be eg sup: But ene poe ene ee "If we could seal off all the supply routes, including the Ho Chi-Minh trail, the National Lib- eration Front (the political arm of the Viet Cong) would not be able to carry on the war." In central Viet Nam, where troops Monday killed 15 civil-. ians in putting down two antt- government demonstrations, a firing squad was scheduled for one of the demonstrators.
