Garbo and Insults:
Relations between India and the
United - States turned sour last year
when the Nixon Administration sided
with Pakistan in the short-lived Indo-
Pakistani War. Even so, the United
States had so long supported India's
"experiment in democracy" that most
observers felt that after a reasonable
cooling-off period, the giant of the
West and the giant of South Asia
would soon be smiling at each other
once again.
Not so. Under the peace-loving,
iron-handed rule of Prime Minister In-
dira Gandhi, India has created a cult
of anti-Americanism that would do
any two-bit African or Latin American
country proud. According to Indian of-
ficials, the United States is respon-
sible for just about every ill imagi-
nable, except perhaps the circum-
stance that Mrs. Gandhi was"not born
a boy. Leading the list of American
bad guys is the Central Intelligence
Agency, that fascist-loaded organiza-
tion which preys on poor, defenseless
nations at every opportunity.
Indeed, Indian Communists now
claim that the United States will post
Ambassador Carol Laise from Nepal
to New Delhi as part of an expanded
CIA sabotage effort. Wife of that well-
known CIA operative, Ambassador to
Vietnam Ellsworth Bunker, Miss Laise
was described the other day as a
"CIA Mata Hari," whose appointment
to New Delhi would be. "another insult
to India"-an insult, no doubt,
akin to the U.S. cutoff of aid to India
following the December hostilities.
In fact, Indian anti'-Americanism
has grown in direct proportion to the
number of days during which India
has been forced to struggle on without
sugar from Uncle Sam: fewer dollars,
more charges of CIA interference. So
all the United States needs to do is to
start providing financial support
again, and Miss Laise will not have to
worry about being compared to Greta
Garbo.
Then again, Mrs. Gandhi probably
would claim, even as she stuffed her
-piggy bank, that the Nixon Adminis-
tration was trying to insult her with
money.

THE KAPLANS
One of the most bizarre accounts of covert CIA
financing, espionage, Communist activities and
murder involves Jacob Merrill Kaplan or his nephew
Joel David Kaplan.
Jacob M. Kaplan was born in Lowell, Mass. on
December 23, 1893, the son of David Kaplan and the
former Fannie Gertz (a 1938 biography refers to his
mother as Fannie Levin). After attending public
schools in Massachusetts, Kaplan spent ten years in
semi-tropical. Latin American sugar-producing
countries. On June 20, 1925 he married Alice
Manheim and they had four children: Joan Felice
(Mrs. C. Gerard Davidson), Elizabeth (Mrs. Gonzalo
Fonseca),, Richard David, and Mary Ellen.
In 1920 Jacob Kaplan organized the Oldetyme
Molasses Company and served as its president until it
was merged with Dunbar Molasses Company in 1924.
In 1928' lie sold the entire company and became
president of J.M. Kaplan and Brothers, Inc. and later
the Kaplan Holding Corp. In 1934 he established the
Molasses Products Corp. He and his half-brother,
Abrim Isaac Kaplan, became millionaires known as
the "molasses kings."
In the hearings known as Appendix IX of the
Special Committee on Un-American Activities of the
U.S. Congress, page 1085, it was revealed that J.M.
Kaplan' was affiliated with the American Committee
for the Settlement of Jews in Biro Bidjan (in the
Soviet Union). This organization was cited as a
Communist front -which had its own worldwide
propaganda campaign for the purpose of getting Jews
to emigrate to a province of the Soviet Union. The
organization was subsequently cited as subversive by
an Attorney General of the U.S.
By 1932 .Jacob Kaplan was president and chairman
of the board of Hearn Department Stores, Inc.; he
became president of the American Dry Ice Corp. the
following year, and in 1945 became president of
Welch Gra 3e Juice, Inc. of New York. He was also an
official of the Ronier Corp., Jemkap Inc.,
Southwestern Sugar and Molasses Co., Inc. Ile was a
director of the New Mexico Lumber and Timber
Company and president and director of the J.M.
Kaplan Fund, Inc., which lie originally started in
1942.
Jacob Kaplan received considerable publicity when
it was disclosed that through his J.M. Kaplan Fund,
Inc. of 55 Fifth Avenue, New York City, at least a
million dollars of CIA funds were dispensed to such
leftist organizations as the Institute of International
Labor Research, Inc. This outfit which has also been
known as Labor Research, Inc., maintains an office at
113 East 37th Street, N.Y.C. It was headed by the
late Norman Thomas, Chairman of the Socialist Party
of the United States, at the very time CIA turned
over nearly $1 million to it for the purpose of
financing what the New York TIMES of February 22,
1967, described euphemistically as "17. left-of-center
parties throughout Latin America."
Secretary-Treasurer of the Institute of Labor
Research was Sacha Volman, who set up radically
leftist "institutes" in Costa Rica and the Dominican
Republic. According to Otilia Ulate, former President
of Costa Rica, the San Jose Institute supported only
those Parties which "have the characteristic features
which make them identical in doctrine and homo-
genous in political and social attitudes with Russian
Communism." Ulate said that all democratic parties
opposed to the Marxist regime in Cuba were excluded
from this offshoot of the Norman Thomas and Sacha
Yolman Institute.
Through the Dominican Institute, using CIA funds,
Volman promoted political careers for such key
Communists as the notorious Juan Bosch. Sacha
Volman had close ties with comrades throughout
Latin America and was neck-deep in the Marxist
Leninist "Center of Research in Economic and Social
Development" at Santo Domingo. This organization

(CIDES) was financed by the CIA, the U.S. State
Department and the Ford Foundation. When his
intelligence organization infiltrated CIDES, General
Wessin y Wessin of the Dominican Republic found it
to be a Communist training and indoctrination
operation. Sacha Volman was an instructor in that
operation and was the man who, with State Depart-
ment and CIA direction, promoted Communist Juan
Bosch all the way to the Presidency of the Dominican
Republic.
Volman is suspected of being a Soviet agent
assigned to Latin American Affairs. He was born in
Russia, lived in Romania and came to the United
States as a "refugee." He is now a U.S. citizen and has
been living at 245 East 8th St., N.Y.C. In the
Hearings of the Senate Internal Security Sub-com-
mittee on "The Communist Threat to the United
States Through the Caribbean," General Wessin y
Wessin testified under oath about Volman's CIA
operation: (Quote)

it bglonged to the Government, was turned over to
the Communist Dato Pagan Perdomo to install a
school of political science.
There was another one, which went under the
initials of'CIDES located in the farm, or Finca Jaina
Moza. In this school, the teachers were among the
others, Juan Bosch, Angel Miolan, and Sacha Volman.

Also involved with the Communist-oriented CIDES
organization was Supreme Court Justice William O.
Douglas. The Parvin, Foundation, of which Douglas
was a member of the board of directors, joined with
the National Association of Broadcasters and CIDES
to produce "educational" films. According to the
New York TIMES of February 22, 1967, Douglas
became a member of the board of CIDES, which
administered the film project in the field. The
"educational" films and the CIDES Communist train-
ing school had to be abandoned when President
Bosch attempted an open Communist takeover and
was overthrown by a military coup late in 1963. The
CIA had been financing an effort to turn the
Dominican Republic into another Cuba.
In 1952 Jacob Kaplan became a trustee of the New
School for Social Research on West 12th Street in
New York City, well-known as a Marxist-oriented
school. In 1956 Kaplan was honored, along with two
others, when an 8-story annex of a new school
building was named for him. A 4-story building on
I 1 th Street was named for Albert A. List, president
of the Glen Alden Corp., and the main college
building on 12th Street was named for Dr. Alvin
Johnson, long a professor at the New School for
Social Research. Dr. Johnson was reported to be a
supporter of the late Communist Congressman Vito
Marcantonio, and according to published reports, was
affiliated with a long list of Communist fronts.

Jacob Kaplan, told the New York TIMES "The

minded, helpful and reasonable and has waived their
usual requirements in several areas."
Kaplan's daughter, Joan, had married Crow Girard
Davidson on. December 20, 1953 and they were
divorced in March of 1967. Davidson was a member
of the Democratic National Committee and had been
Assistant Secretary of the Interior from 1946 to
1950. On page 5291 of the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee hearings on the Institute of Pacific
Relations, exhibit 1294 is a letter to Davidson from.

On May 20, 1970, the New York TIMES reported
thb formal opening of Westbeth, the world's largest
housing project for artists which has cost $13 million
so far. Speaking on the occasion, in addition to
Mayor John Lindsay, was Rev. Howard L. Moody of
the Judson Memorial Church, long a supporter of
leftist causes.
Jacob M. Kaplan and his half-brother, Abrim Isaac,
made millions in sugar and molasses, principally in
Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Abrim died in
1959 and his wife, Mrs. Ray Kempner Kaplan of
N.Y., died in May, 1965. Joel,David Kaplan, age 45,
the son of Abrim and Ray, became a partner in the
Kaplan interests in Central and South America.
Kaplan had been living at 215 E. 75th St., N.Y.C.,
and married a New York model, Bonnie Sharie, on
October 14, 1956. The marriage was a stormy one
and was terminated after Bonnie charged her husband
with cruelty and told N.Y. Supreme Court Justice
Thomas Aurelio that in one year of married life her
husband had beaten her 20 times. Eventually she was
awarded $200 a week alimony but Kaplan was
constantly in arrears.
-Joel Kaplan established an independent molasses
business in Peru and trucking firms in Texas and
Oklahoma. He subsequently entered into an official
partnership with 'Luis M. Vidal, Jr., the godson. of
the late General Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican
Republic. Vidal, Jr. was the personal unofficial
representative or business agent for the Dominican
Republic during a number of years while Trujillo
headed the government. Luis Melchoir Vidal, Sr., an
During the .1950's Vidal teamed up with Joel
Kaplan and, under cover of either the Paint Company
of America or the American Sucrose Company, they
operated throughout Latin America reportedly as
agents of the CIA, supplying arms to anti-Communist
governments and movements. Joel Kaplan, however,
was on the left and reportedly also supplied guns for
Communist guerrillas in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Hon-
duras, and Cuba, while Vidal was selling arms to anti-
Communists and anti-Castro Cubans..It was also re-
ported that Kaplan had even shortchanged the guerrilla
leaders by supplying less arms than were paid for.
The business partnership ended abruptly with the
murder of Vidal.
It is believed that Vidal learned of his partner's
dealings with the Communist guerrillas and there was
a falling out. On November 18, 1961 the decomposed
and bullet-torn body of a man, subsequently identi-
fied as that of Luis M. Vidal, Jr., was found in a
shallow grave off a lonely road between Mexico City
and Cuernavaca.
Kaplan, who had been in Mexico, returned to New
York where he learned that Mexican authorities
wished to question him concerning the death of his
partner. Kaplan left the U.S. and went to Madrid,
Spain where he was arrested in the spring of 1962 by
Louis, Pozo, the Spanish Chief of Interpol (inter-
national police agency). After a week in a Madrid jail,.
Kaplan was returned to Mexico to face trial for
premeditated murder. Kaplan was represented at the
trial by Victor Velasquez, a prominent Mexican at-
torney and associate of Louis Nizer of New York.
The defense claimed that the body of the murdered
man was not Vidal but the Mexican authorities
produced Vidal's wife who identified the deceased as
her husband. Tremendous pressures were brought to
bear on both sides and and attempt had allegedly.
been made to obtain $200,000 from Kaplan as the
price for quashing the case. It was revealed that just
before the murder, Kaplan had entered Mexico with a
false passport issued to Albert Richard Yates, age 30,
a British seaman, and that two other men accom-
panied him. One was a Russian-born naturalized
American, Evsai Petrushansky; the other, who claimed
-Israeli citizenship, had a passport issued to Earl Scott.
He later identified himself as Harry Kopelson, a
merchant. from Tel Aviv. He also was charged with
the murder but was acquitted. Petrushansky was not
brought to trial. Kaplan was convicted in Mexico City
of premeditated murder and was sentenced to serve
,28 years in prison. A number of appeals were filed
beginning in' 1965, until finally his last appeal was,

In the meantime, in May of 1965 Kaplan's lawyers
had revealed to authorities that he had acquired a
new wife, 25-year old Irma Vasquez Calderon, and
that they were married by proxy. Under Mexican law,
wives are permitted conjugal visits with prisoners.
While the appeals were fizzling out, Joel Kaplan's
divorced sister, Judy Kaplan Dowis, age 40, of
Sausalito, Calif., undertook a series of attempts, both
legal and extra-legal, to get her brother out of the
Mexican Prison. These included attempting to bribe
high Mexican Government officials, planning escapes
and even producing a defrocked Roman Catholic
priest who claimed that the murdered man, Luis
Vidal, was alive and that he had married Vidal to a
woman named Lucia Magana. This and numerous
other plans and plots were unsuccessful. Judy then
made contact with Victor D. Stadtcr, reportedly a
big-time smuggler, who lives in a 16-room house on a
10-acre estate in Glendora, Calif. Stadter, now 52
years old, had spent five years in the federal
penitentiary at Lewisburg, Pa. after being convicted in
the U. S. District Court in Brooklyn in connection
with a narcotics conspiracy case.
Stad ter worked out a plan for Kaplan's escape. He
purchased a Bell Aircraft model 47 helicopter in
Casper, Wyoming for $65,000; he also acquired a fast
single engine Cessna 210 aircraft and had both of
them registered in the name of M. Milandra..On
August 18, 1971 at 6:37 P.M., the helicopter, piloted
by Roger Guy Hershner, age 29, formerly of Glen-
dora ~,nd now of Ontario, California, was set down in
the prison courtyard. Within 20 seconds it was aloft
with Kaplan and his cellmate, Carlos Antonio Con-
treras Castro, age 36, who was serving a sentence for
counterfeiting and forgery. The helicopter flew ap-
proximately 100 miles away where a plan piloted by
Stadter was waiting to take them to Brownsville,
Texas where they boarded another shall plane which
took them to Sausalito, Calif. where sister Judy lived.
Through Victor Stadter it was learned that Kaplan
spent. three months in Stadter's Glendora home after
the escapee
In a dispatch from. Mexico City, dated August 20,
1971, the U.P.I. reported that the Mexican police
asked the U.S. F.B.I. to seek and arrest a New Yorker
who had escaped by helicopter from the Mexican
federal penitentiary. The dispatch stated that Victor
Valesquez, Kaplan's defense attorney, claimed that
his client was an agent of the CIA. On September 6,
1971 the New York TIMES reported that a spokes-
man for the U.S. Department of Justice said that
Kaplan was NOT sought by the F131 and that little
quently learned' that Kaplan's two friends, who
entered Mexico with him prior to the murder, had
been involved previously in European espionage'
activities (not on behalf of the U.S.). Reporters who
interviewed members of the Kaplan family after his
escape obtained little information. His sister, Mrs.
Dowis, refused all information and referred ques-
tioners to. her attorney, Vasilios Choulos of San
Francisco. Kaplan and his Mexican-born second wife
are reportedly living in the vicinity of Sante Fe, N.M.
where the Kaplan family is said to have property and
business interests.
The CIA involvement in the death of General
Trujillo has been documented. Arturo Espaillat ex-
plains in "Trujillo: The Last Caesar" that "The
arrival of weapons from the Government of the,
United States was, for the plotters, tangible evidence
that the might of the United States was behind then.
Without that support there would simply have been
no conspiracy. Trujillo had put together a powerful
political-military machine which could only have
been destroyed by intervention from the outside
world." And the State Department had decreed that
Rafael. Trujullo, our most reliable anti-Communist
ally in the Caribbean, must die. The CIA did the job.
Luis Vidal, godson of General Trujillo, was also
murdered by the CIA.
On the other hand, Joel Kaplan lives comfortably
on his inherited fortune, unmolested by the U.S.
Department of Justice in spite of his involvement in
supplying arms to Communist guerrillas and revolu-
tionaries. His illegal smuggling of arms, use of false
passports, murder conviction and finally his escape
from the Mexican prison are seemingly of no interest
to U.S. authorities. The CIA works in mysterious
ways its murders to perform and
protect.

of growing disenchantment

reason for his break is
found in this description of

for Library Journal.
It is no longer uncommon
to get a glimpse past a
'briefly opened door at the
CIA, but the workings of So-
viet bloc intelligence agen-
cies are generally more
heavily veiled. Now, two
promising books by former
agents of those organiza-
tions-Czech and Russian-
have been published. Unfor-
tunately their revelations
turn out to be fragmentary,
at best.
Ladislav Bittman's "The
Deception Game" is by far
the better of the two. It cen-
ters on one aspect of the
Czech intelligence service,
the work of Department
Eight, or, as it is sometimes
known, the Department of
Dirty Tricks. The author
was deputy chief of the de-
partment from 1964 to 1966
and defected following the
Soviet Invasion in 1968.
Disinformation is the
game and the most frequent
loser is the United States
which is regarded as the
principal target. The aim of
these special operations, ac-
cording to Bittman, is "to
deceive the enemy or victim

wishes him to reach." Just
any old disinformation won't
do. As Bittman explains,
"For disinformation opera-
tions to be successful, they
must at least partially corre-
spond to reality or generally
accepted views."
He cites several cases, In-
cluding one in which forged
documents implicated an
American ambassador in a
plot to overthrow the gov-
ernment of Tanzania. The
African press had a field
day in circulating and em-
bellishing accounts of the
"plot":
"The fact that the forger-
ies were accepted, despite
obvious linguistic, adminis-
trative, and logical errors,
implied that the victims-in
this case the young leftist
government-would be will-
ing to go beyond rational
boundaries if the deception
conformed to their own po-
litical beliefs."
Bittman describes in con-
siderable detail Operation
Neptune, the "discovery" by
Czech divers of crates of
Nazi documents in Black
Lake near the West German
border. The object was to
pressure the West German
government into extending
the time limit for the prose-
cution of war crimes (it was
successful; in 1965 the limit
was extended to 1969).
The deception game is ad-
mitted to be one of the
plodding, three-yards-and-a-
cloud-of-dust variety. Seldom
is any immediate spectacular
result anticipated from a sin-
gle operators; thus, many
projects are underway at a
time. Bittman estimates that
about 300 to 400 are staged
annually throughout the So-
viet bloc.

CIA Recruiting
The War in Vietnam has caused
more problems than it has re-
solved. One of these is the prob-
lem of recruiting competent
university graduates for the Cen-
tral Intelligence Agency.
Despite its honorable and bril-
liant director Richard Helms, the
CIA has suffered a tarnished rep-
utation among some students, not
only because of its past infiltra-
tion of campus groups but also

because of its clandestine opera-
tions in Southeast Asia as well as
its cloak-and-dagger ambience, all
of which is anathema to many
young people.
Still, the agency needs recruits.
How does it get them? One meth-
od is through open solicitation,.
and another is through covert
means.
The open method is best ex-
emplified in a recent interview in
The Daily Texan with William B.
Wood, the Southwest personnel
representative for the agency.
Called upon and questioned by
Danny Douglas, a young Univer-
sity of Texas journalism student,
Wood is quoted as having said:
"I want to make it clear that we
do not run a clandestine organi-
zation, and there is no cloak-and-
dagger purpose, in our hiring stu-
dents."
Wood, according to the inter-
view, then went on to point out
that professional opportunities ex-
isted in the CIA for seniors and
graduate students of almost any
discipline-journalism, physics,
political science.
"We are also interested," he
explained, "in students with for-
eign language knowledge, espe-
cially unusual languages like
Laotian and Swahili."
Wood's pitch for young recruits
was frank and forthright.
Now, consider another CIA ap-
proach. It is best described in the
following letter recently sent to
this department.

t i o n that would require the
Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA) and other government
intelligence operations to re-
port.to congressional commit-
i e e s was recommended last
week. by a House foreign af-
fairs subcommittee.
The recommendation, in-
tended to help Congress reaf-
f i r m its role in developing
American foreign policy, was
among several that stemmed
from a series of hearings and
symposiums held last summer
by t he subcommittee on na-
tional security policy and sci-
e n t i f i c developments. Rep.
Clement J. Zablocki (D-Wis.) is
the subcommittee chairman.
The subcommittee's report
stated that an imbalance exist-
ed b e t w e e n the executive
branch of the government and
Congress in the formulation of
foreign policy. .,
This imbalance, according to
the subcommittee, "threatens
the development of a truly.suc-
cessful national security policy
for the United States in the
seventies."
The report noted that the
United States no longer pos-
sessed a national consensus on
foreign policy which, it said,
had always been a source of
strength.
"For the Congress to reaf-
firm its influence in the foreign
policy area and to help form
public opinion on the issue
would probably also go far in
offsetting rising, neo-isolation-
ist f e e l i n g s in the United
States," the report said.
Changes in world power re-
lationships have resulted in the
development of five key cen-
ters of power - the US, the
Soviet Union, China, Western ,
Europe and Japan, the report
said.
It said this h ad decreased
the danger of major nuclear
confrontations but had not re-
duced the prospect for what it
called "smaller scale proxy
wars."

All that has kept: the world from self-
destructing this last quarter of a century
has been the precarious nuclear balance
between the United States and the Soviet
Union.
For a few short years America had an
overwhelming preponderance of power.
We were certain we would never resort to
it, but our mere possession of such night-
marish power drove the Russians fo dis-
traction. Then they in their turn achieved
an edge-and regained a measure of sta-
bility-and it was our turn to taste the
fear in the phrase "missile gap."
A decade ago the balance was regained
and has since been maintained. The num-
her of missiles, their megatonnage and
their guidance systems are largely irrele-
vant; what counts is that neither power
can launch a preemptive strike with any
hope of survival, and on this balance
hangs the peace of the world.
Tiger by the tail
The balance, however, is far from stat-
ic. Both powers hold a fearsome tiger by
the tail. Research and development must
continue lest one side or the other
achieve a breakthrough. in delivery or de-
fense, which plight destroy the balance.
The expense of such a break
through-indeed the expense of maintain-
ing the current balance-is so hideous
that both powers would like to avoid it.
They are committed to a continuing
arms race not by the need to achieve a
breakthrough but only by the imperative
of not permitting the other to do so.
Both sides recognize the need for a mu-
tual effort to scale down their arsenals.
In the past, negotiations over dis-
armament foundered on a single cle~
ment-trust. The issues at stake were so
overriding that neither the U.S. nor the
Soviet Union could afford to accept the
other's word that an agreement would be
adhered to.
The recent SALT talks, however, have
achieved initial and encouraging suc-
cesses, and the key to the progress can
be found in an innocuous euphemism the
treaties employ: "National technical
means of verification". The phrase refers
to a program which supplies an accept-
able substitute for the missing ingredient
of trust, and on that program rests all

precise technical construction of the mis-

The Soviets launch perhaps four times
as many satellites as America does, par-
tially because theirs do not last as long,
and also because the Soviets are given to
"tactical" missions - sending a satellite
for a special "look-see" when something
of interest is going on.
The U.S. prefers to wait for its regu-
larly scheduled shots, and has sent only
one tactical satellite aloft - to check Is-
raeli claims'that the Soviets were violat-
ing the truce by installing missile sites
on the banks of the Suez Canal. Soviet
photography is good enough to allay
their fears that the U.S. is installing new
weapons systems, although the resolu-
tion of their cameras is not nearly as
good as ours.

Now that the Soviets have their own
COSMOS program, they are, apparently,
willing to reconsider "open skies". To be-
gin with, there isn't much they could do
about the satellites, and, if they do have a
"killer" satellite which can destroy
SAMOS satellites, the U.S. undoubtedly
has something up its sleeve to destroy
COSMOS shots.
Both countries, however, prefer to lea-
ve the other's program alone. The So-
viets even wrote into the SALT treaty
a clause barring attempts to hide activ-
ities from "national technical means of
verification"-a long way from Khrush-
chev's original attitude toward "open
skies."
For both America and the Soviet Union,
"national technical means of veri-
fication" insure that the balance will be
kept, and enable negotiators to get on
with the complicated task of dismantling
the nuclear arsenals with a greatly re-
duced risk of detonating the world in the
process.

ndia Seekin9 - Resumption
f II.S. Surveillance
By Lewis M. Simons
Washington Post Foreign Service
NEW DELIII, Oct. 13-The
United States and India are
discussing the possibility of
resuming a project for an elec-
tronic surveillance system
along the China border, in-
formed Indian government
sources said today.
The project, dubbed "peace
indigo," was being carried out
by the Indian government and
private American companies
and involved electronic detec-
tion components manufac-
tured in the United States.
When India and Pakistan went
to war last December, the
Nixon administration sus-
pended arms sales to both'
countries. This embargo in-
cluded so-called nonlethal mil-
itary equipment, including de-
vices of the type being used in
"peace indigo."
According to informed gov-
ernment sources, however,
India had contracts with dy-
namics corp. of. America, of
New York City, as well as sev-
eral other American compa-
nies, and the U.S. government
was therefore breaking a legit-
imate business agreement.
These sources disclosed that
discussions were under way
between American diplomat:-
in New Delhi and officials of
,the foreign ministry. "We
have made no threats," one of
the sources said. "But we have
told the Americans that by
their actions they have caused
the contract to be violated."
However, the sources indi-
cated that the fact that talks
between the two governments
were going on was a cause for
roject
It is -understood that the
radar equipment would pro-
vide an electronic link be-
tween India's exhisting for-
ward surveillance system
among its northern frontier
with China and inland mili-
tary command areas, perhaps
as far away as New Delhi.
Broader Implications
Whether the current talks:
between U.S. and Indian offi-
cials rcault in "peace indigo"
being" resumed or not. could
have implications for Indo-A-
merican relations-now at low
ebb-as well as for a broader
sphere on the entire Subconti-
nent.
Many Radians have exessed
bitter irony over what they
call the "new friendship" be-
tween the United' States and
China, Many believe, in fact;
that President Nixon has will-
ingly sacrificed U.S. relations
with India in order to gain de-
tente with China.
Therefore, if the United
