...reaction of India to all of this has been curiously torpid. In his on-again, off-again role as man of peace, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru has belittled the Chinese land grab. In the past, he and Defense Minister Krishna Menon have described the aggressions as "minor and petty," called the area occupied by the Chinese only "barren mountaintops where not even a blade of grass grows." Such remarks have brought angry charges against the government in New Delhi's Lok Sabha (lower house of Parliament), where one opposition critic has accused Nehru and Menon of ordering India...
...small Russian test blast with the Soviets' long-awaited 58-megaton shot simply because it took place simultaneously with an earthquake in California. Recent underground tests in Nevada confirmed that earthquake confusion is possible unless seismographs are within a few hundred miles of the site.

Main results...
...election's most far-reaching result was its resounding personal vindication of Nehru and Krishna Menon. Sure of his own Uttar Pradesh constituency (he romped home with a better than two-to-one lead over Socialist Leader Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia), Nehru throughout the campaign focused most of his efforts on Krishna Menon's fight for North Bombay. Nehru castigated Swatantra and right-wing Congress members, but only mildly criticized the Communist Party, which virtually took over Menon's campaign against J. B. Kripalani, the conservative coalition candidate who accused India's Defense Minister of twisting...
