Soviets Ignore Chinese Attacks MOSCOW (AP) Red China's current Soviet-baiting campaign apparently is aimed at provoking the Kremlin to break state or par ty ties with Peking. So far Moscow has not risen to the bait. Seeming to sense danger, the Russians are displaying a patience that must be galling to fiery-tempered Premier Khrushchev.

Aside from propaganda attacks linking Khrushchev with the "imperialist enemy," the Red Chinese put on a rowdy two-day demonstration on the Soviet-Chinese border in Siberia last week that outraged the Russians. The government newspaper Iz- vestia told its readers Tuesday what it said went on at Naushki, a border point, when the Peking- Moscow Express crossed from China Friday. Chinese passengers openly displayed contempt for the Russians by defying customs officials, roughing up passersby and in a crowning by urinating in the railway station, Izvesta repoirted. The impression left by and other provocative actions by the Chinese in recent months clearly indicates a deliberate attempt to infuriate; the. Russians.

China might want; a break in party or even government relations, and hopes to force Moscow to take the step or to ghre the Chinese pretext -foriwpiuring lations. Qut Soviet propaganda organs In heaping the keep "well within guidelines laid down by major party on' the Soviet-Chinese The major Soviet refrain the Soviet Union's avowed dedication to peace and its: opposition to al leged Chinese demands for war Kremlin propaganda chiefs are now believed working on a reply to Peking's virulent charges against Khrushchev last week. There is speculation in Moscow that the Chinese might be building up to a discussion of Khrush chev's activities as one of Stalin's top lieutenants and other hitherto unpublished details of his career Another problem is the possibl effect on the Soviet public of i frank discussion of topics taboo in the Soviet Union.

(AP Wirephoto) Hundreds Escape Draft By Minutes i By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Hundreds of young married men facing two years of Army life found themselves Tuesday in a situation similar to that of the prize fighter saved by the bell. In this case, it was a wedding The bell ringer was President Kennedy. He issued an executive order, temporarily halting the draft of married men.

Many men were only minutes away from induction when the order came through. Some greeted the news with sighs of relief. Others saw problems. And some, like three of eight married inductees at Atlanta, decided to go into the Army anyway. One of the three, Thomas By ers, 23, of Rome, explained "My friends threw me a big going away party I'd be ashamed to go back now.

Besides, I sold my new car." Among the Atlanta inductees who chose civilian life, Earl G. Wheeler, 23, of Trenton, said: "It took me about as long to decide to go home as it did for them to ask the question," Kennedy ordered that married men be inducted only after all acceptable single men in the 1925 age group had been drafted.

Fletcher got the news at a Seattle induction center, the 23-year-old bridegroom of five months, ning." actually ran out the door," Fletcher said, and kept running for about four blocks "before happened to think it was a long way home to Washington State community about 10 miles from SeatUe.

Doughman, 22, of Coun cil Bluffs, Iowa, also had problems. He had given up his home stored his furniture and quit his railroad job.

Charles Ray Morgan, 23, of Moss Point, was pullet from an induction line at Jack son, just 45 minutes aftei the preidential order went into effect. A sergeant stepped up to him just as Morgan was about to be sworn in and said, "You don't go. You're married." If he had raised his hand and taken the oath, he would have been Pvt. Morgan. "Whew!" sighed Morgan, "That's saved by the BIRMINGHAM, Ala.

Wallace and decided it had fared iretty well, all things considered, seen able to enforce court orders ntegrating schools in three Alabama cities without resorting to 'ederal force. With a bit of carefully planned paperwork the federalizing of National Guardsmen summoned to duty earlier by Wallace himself was able to get the soldiers out of the picture entirely. A government source close to the inner workings of the federal- state conflict said the drama may not be over and Wallace may uncork some new maneuver. But he made it clear the administration was highly pleased with the day's outcome especially so because the job of maintaining peace in Birmingham, Tuskegee and Mobile was solidly in the hands of local police officers. Soldiers were nowhere in sight.

Senator Fears Test Ban Will Block Inspection WASHINGON (AP) Sen. Uchard B. Russell expressed fear oday that the limited nuclear est-ban treaty might point the toward world disarmament without on-site inspection. "No one is more in favor of disarmament than I am," said the eorgia Democrat who heads the Senate Armed Services Commit- ee before the Senate began its hird day of formal debate on the "I would be willing to abolish all nuclear weapons.

'But we are giving up the conception of on-site inspection in this treaty and we'll never be able to revive it." Thus, Russell added, he decided to oppose ratification of the ban on all but underground blasts because he 1 fears "we' may be trapping ourselves into disarming without ironclad guarantees that the Russians are doing likewise." The United States has insisted on-site inspection is necesary to detect sneak underground blasts precisely. So far as the testing environments prohibited by the treaty are atmosphere, outer space and government contends that most tests could be detected without on-site inspection. President Kennedy has assured the military chiefs, meanwhile, that detection systems will be sharpened while the treaty is in effect. Senator Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois prepared a formal speech of endorsement of the treaty.

It was basec on the assurances Kennedy wai expected to make, in a letter to him and Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana, that American military security will not be permitted to deteriorate under the pact. Sen. Barry Goldwafer, R-Ariz. said in a separate interview thai he intends to press for a vole on a reservation to the resolution implementing the treaty which would delay effectiveness of the agreement until the Soviets withdraw their military forces from Cuba. Sen.

Frank Church, D-Idaho, called the treaty the first step back from a possible nuclear war offering "the specter of eventual extermination" for both the United States and the Soviet Union. Church, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that in signing the treaty, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union all recognized that "it may be better to try to halt the nuclear arms race than to try to win it." Tuesday night at Miami Beach', Secretary of State Dean Rusk told an American Legion convention that rejection of the pact add weight to Red China's contention that peaceful coexistence with the West is impossible.
