Nehru says Reds violated border By WATSON SIMS NEW DELHI, India Prime Minister Nehru said today that Chinese Communist troops have crossed from Tibet into Indian territory on two widely separated frontiers and apparently are staying.

Ike visiting Queen Elizabeth in Scotland By EDDY GILMORE BALMORAL, Scotland (AP) President Eisenhower broke into his diplomatic mission to Western Europe today with a social visit to Britain's royal family at Bal- -Queen rriaW comjnetely Unexpected appearance to the gates to welcome him. Well, well, I'm delighted to see you," said the Queen, slim and elegant though she is expecting her third child early next year.

Eisenhower bowed and said: "Thank you ma'am. It's wonderful to be here." It was' a friendly and informal beginning for Eisenhower's overnight visit. Surprisingly, the Queen not only came out to see Eisenhower but did it on television. The President had driven 50 miles with Prince Philip in a car from the airport at Dyce to cheers of crowds along the way. The Queen who danced until the early hours this morning at a castle ball for her servants presented the Preside! to Princess Margaret.

The Queen wore a powder blue suit with shirt jacket. Her skirt snuggly hugged her hips. The Queen whose baby is expected in late January or February certainly showed no physical signs of it. With Eisenhower, she inspected the royal bodyguard, Royal Highland Fusiliers. Then together with Prince Philip, they took the palace car from the gateway for the half- mile drive to the gloomy old castle built amid these melancholy moors by Queen Victoria.

area, cutting off several hundred square miles of Indian territory. Nehru said the Chinese moved into the Ladakh region in October 1957. The Indian reconnaissance party was sent into the region at the end of last month. There was no indication in Nehru's statement why he waited so long before acting. PROTEST He said India had protested to Peiping but so far had no satisfaction.

"There is no alternative but to guard our borders and integrity," he declared. "We will have to be Nehru made no announcement, however, of military counteraction. On the mountainous northeast frontier, Nehru said, the Chinese crossed into India from Tibet on Aug. 25 and fired on a picket post in the Kameng section. He said the Reds returned on Aug.

India protested' to Peiping, and the Chinese reply, received as Nehru sat in Parliament, claimec sings by Chinese troops into India the Indians on JJ5-fired firs the Chinese shot self defense. Peiping said if knew noth ing about the border crossing the next day. "I give credence to our own reports," Nehru said as the deputies cheered in approval.

"All circumstantial evidence supports our view. I believe it is true." Earlier in the session Nehru said the Chinese were forcibly holding Indian territory in the La- dakh sector of Kashmir, on the northwest border between India and Tibet. He said the Chinese had established a camp at Spang- gur, well within Indian territory, and had arrested a reconnaissance party which had been sent to investigate. The Chinese released the reconnaissance group, consisting of one officer and five enlisted men, but Peiping asserted the territory was Chinese, the prime minister said. India he continued, sent a note to Peiping expressing surprise at along the mountainous border of Kashmir and also in the northeast frontier area, in the Indian state of Assam.

There also have been reports of Chinese claims to these northern areas bordering on Tibet, as well as to Nepal and the protectorates of Bhutan and Sikkim, which lie between Kashmir and Assam. The Times of India reported today that Red forces had pushed back several border patrols along the northeast frontier and said in at least one instance there was believed to have been an exchange of gunfire. Representatives of all non-Communist parties in Parliament submitted a question to Nehru, asking if part of Ladakh had been occupied by the Chinese. Nehru referred to only one border crossing, which he said took between October 1957 and February 1958, at Khurnak Fort within Indian territory. It was there, he said, that the Indian reconnaissance party was arrested by a stronger Chinese detachment on July 28, 1959.

Nehru said the government notes occasional press reports of the Chinese making some kind of claims to Sikkim and Bhutan. ''It is not possible for us to the authenticity of ports," he said, "but naturally they are causing concern to the people of Sikkim and Bhutan and elsewhere in the border regions of India." Deputies thumped their desks in approval as Nehru declared: "The government of India is responsible for the protection of the borders of Sikkim and Bhutan and of the territorial integrity of those two states, and any aggression against Bhutan and Sikkim will be considered an aggression against India."

Children were ajad Uw refiMered for kjjadergarten and nsw studeuu for sdl Uxe schools. clary said the busiest hours were early the are as phony as a three yuan bit. Take steel for example. Chinese Communist Party chiefs announced Wednesday, following a two-week strategy session, that only 8 million tons of the 11,080,000 tons of steel Red China previously claimed to have produced in 1953 were suitable for industry.

They set a 1959 goal of 12 million tons for this basic industrial item, a sharp slash from the earlier target of 18 million tons. They claimed a output for the first half of this year. These statistics boasted by the Communist authors of China's "Great Leap Forward" remain glorious to the point of being impossible, in the view of Washington specialists, aside from the downgrading announced by the Reds themselves. THE QUESTION Word here is that China's steel mills ran above capacity to reach the stated 8 million tons in 1958. How, then, it is asked, can China expand this 50 per cent this year when it has no major new steel works for completion in 1959? Peiping's grain figures, prob- aJbJy the most important agricultural statistic, have come under similar scrutiny.

The Communists admitted their earlier claim of 375 million tons of grain grown in was "a bit high." Their new statistic is 950 million tons. For im, they chopped the oouttced grain goal from 5g5 b) 375 IttlUian U.S. analysts noted the Reds compared the new statistics with' amounts recorded during their first five-year plan, 1953-7. The "Great Leap Forward" planners had disdained comparision with here lower figures in past times. The new announcement said gra'n output rose an average of J.7 per cent a year under the first five-year plan.

The question asked here is: Even if this figure is true, does it mean more food per person in China where the population is growing nearly as fast as this announced food supply? NO CONCEALMENT One explanation advanced here for Peiping's new grain figures that amid a chronic shortage of food which they could not conceal among their own people, the Communists had to downgrade their more extravagant claims. Another Washington opinion is that the Reds want to set up a lower basis for comparison so they will be able to proclaim greater relative gains on their 10th anniversary celebration due Oct. i. Fhe revised figures still point up "great new victories" for "Great Leap Forward," according to Peiping.
