A ing agreed last night. But both the assembly's organization and members were raked over the coals in a discussion before the Brandy-wine Hundred Republican Committee. Using the term 'legislative machinery" for what goes on in Dover pays "an undeserved compliment to the entire process," declared James H. Snow-den, Republican leader when he was in the Senate. The main fault with the assembly is "the quality, or lack of it, in the membership," added Med Davis, chief of the News-Journal Dover Bureau.

Under questioning Gronouski, who headed the Wisconsin Tax Deartment for four years, said: He is a believer in the civil service system.

He considers the Post Office Department "primarily a service organization which should be run as a business so far as possible." Kennedy nominated Gronouski to succeed J.

The talk centered on whether reapportionment alone would produce an effective legislature.

Snowden suggested a host of reforms, including establishment of a non-partisan research and analysis bureau, parliamentary devices for speeding passage of routine bills, putting the assembly on a full-time basis for about four months rather than the present 60-day irregular session, staff assistance for legislators and new rules for the two houses.

The announcements were made by the Inquirer and the Daily News, both owned by Triangle Publications Inc. The city's third major newspaper, the Evening Bulletin, sells for five cents a copy and its Sunday edition for 20 cents. The Inquirer said its Sunday edition will remain at 20 cents. The Daily News has no Sunday edition.

"CHINA IS IN the picture, of course. China has considerable population in these countries. We have not, except for some in Burma and Malaya and scattered here and there. "There is no real competition between us and China in Southeast Asia. But the fact remains that Southeast Asia is next door to China and dominated to some extent by China.

"That was one of the rea "THE CHINESE are keen on bringing about a situation in which India no longer is considered nonaligned," Nehru asserted. "They don't like me at all. They continue writing articles about me 'Nehru's socialism and 'Nehru's ideology' and that sort of thing. "But their major conflict is with the Soviet Union.

"The Soviet Union is the only country which can help the Chinese industrially. When that help stopped, the Chinese became angry.

NEHRU SAID the Soviet Union and China are near a breaking point but he did not believe the break would come quickly. Nevertheless, he said, he believes the people of Russia and China are "very bitter against one another now." Would Red China's bitterness lead to stepped-up pressures on India? Nehru reflectively fingered the inevitable red rose in the button-hole of his white tonic and replied: "I cannot say whether there will be increased pressures.

Tiredly and sadly, Nehru talked in a philosophical vein about Asia, its tensions and its massive problems.

RYAN AP Writer NEW DELHI, India Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said yesterday a major objective of Red China's policy is to pry India out of a position of non-alignment in the Cold War. The implication in this, he said, is that the Chinese applied military pressures on India's borders to destroy India's standing among neutral African and Asian nations, to increase Chinese influence among those nations, and to discredit Soviet policy. The 73-year-old Indian leader discussed in an interview the swift tempo of events which is fraying nerves all over the Asian continent today..
