The announcement of these actions came only a few hours before-the Wednesday midnight deadline at which China said it had ordered its victory-flushed Himalayan divisions to silence their guns. Prime inister Nehru had in effect rejected Peking's terms. The defence ministry spokes- man refused to say what would be the Indian army reaction to the Chinese declaration of a cease-fire.

Nehru told Parliament India would stand by its insistence on the restoration of military posi. tions held before last Sept. 8 as the condition for settlemen. Nehru said his government would, consider the Chinese statement--broadcast earlier to- day by Peking radio--when it is officially received. But the Chi- nese statement clearly blocked the idea of restoring Indian troops to posts they held in Ladakh before Sept. 8. PLAN CEASE-FIRE In their statements, the Chi- nese said they planned to put a cease-fire into effect unilater- ally tonight and to begin troop withdrawals Dec, 1 to establish a 25-mile demilitarized zone be- tween the two forces. They called on the Indians to take similar measures and warned they would fight back if the In- dians continued shooting. The withdrawals, Peking said, would carry Chinese troops in the Ladakh area in the north- west and the Towang sector of the northeast frontier 12% miles behind the line of actual control on Nov. 7, 1959.

Initial appraisals of the Chi- nese offer indicated the Chinese appeared willing to withdraw from a large sector of India's northeast frontier district, where they stand poised at the gate- way of the fertile and populous Assam plains, bu were not giv- ing up any important ground in Ladakh far to the west.
