Chinese a -t Prompt Criticism I Servicemen s Tough Line MOSCOW (AP) Red Chin ese criticism of the Russians pushed a meeting of 19 com munist parties into adopting a tougher line on the Moscow- Peking dispute than originally planned, Communist sources said Saturday. When the 19-party meeting opened here last Monday, Soviet leaders were stressing commu nist unity. They were reported planning to avoid a public state ment on their dispute with China in the final communique of the meeting, which ended Friday. But Peking's attacks provok ed a blunt reference to the dis pute in a short communique, the source said. Confirmation o this was . not available. The , communique is to be made pub lic next Wednesday. Beginning a few days before the Moscow meeting, Peking tried to picture Soviet leaders as hypocrites who talked unity but conducted anti-Chinese prop aganda. The Chinese attacks did not mention the meeting. which Peking boycotted. : This campaign reached a peak Thursday with the bluntes Chinese statement since Nikita Khrushchev fell.

The visiting British Prime Minister made the statement at a news conference a few hours after flying into West Berlin. "Any decision on a change of force must be made within "NATO and must be decided by the alliance and must not be a unilateral decision," Wilson said. , "But whatever action is Men,- I am sure it will not weaken the alliance." There have ?- been persistent reports in recent weeks that Britain was about to reduce its 51,000-member Rhine Army. -f Wilson said there still is : a .55 million pound ($141 million) -deficit in the British balance of payments with West Germany. v "We have never expected a payment to the United Kingdom for our troops in Germany," he added. render to Chinese ideological leadership or the dispute would! go on. The statement was contain ed in the Peking newspaper People's Daily. It said Moscow must renounce policies that in cluded peaceful coexistence. Communist sources said the Soviet Union presented a draft of the communique at the open ing meeting that virtually ignor ed the dispute with China. This did not satisfy those parties present that had to fight pro- Chinese splinter groups at home, such as the Indian and Austral ian communists. They wanted a stronger , state ment to back them up. Some other parties wanted to say nothing and the Italians did not even, want to issue a communi que. The source said the leader of the Sovieet delegation, Mik hail Suslouv, began taking a somewhat stronger line when the Chinese attacks continued. A Kremlin dinner by Soviet leaders for the visiting dele gates brought an unexpectedly quick final agreement on the communique Friday night. An official announcement at 10:30 p.m. said the meeting was con tinuing but at 1 a.m. Saturday its end was announced. Delegates , were expected to begm leaving Moscow today. The delay in publishing the communique was explained by the source as intended to . let delegates get home and. explain what happened beforefthey read about the compromise result in their party papers. 100 Whites Stage March - SELMA, Ala, US) About 100 white persons assembled in Selma amid heavy but little known security, precautions Saturday to stage a mile and a quarter march to the court house to demonstrate their sup port for this city's voter regis tration drive.

Next to Easlgate Loose Gripes On Equipment SAIGON (5T A flurry of new complaints came yesterday from U.S. servicemen in South Viet 'Nam that they are fighting with shoddy weapons, shortages of ammunition and a lack of equipment although, they said, some items are for sale on Sai gon's black market. One U.S. Army adviser said Soviet-made ammunition clips taken from the Viet Cong are better quality than those sent from the United States. "The American ones jam the U.S. made weapon," he said. In the field, fighting con tinued around the joint U.S. rvietnamese Air Base at Da Nang. The field there is the jumping-off point for air strikes against communist North Viet Nam and Laos. Here in Saigon rumors of a new coup were afloat and there was a possibility of anti-American demonstrations. Coup talk got started after Vietnamese Air Force planes flew a mock bombing raid on the city. Their flights apparent ly were touched off by the pres ence of troop reinforcements in the city to guard against pos sible anti-U.S. demonstrations.; Complaints from U.S. service-! men aooui ineir weapons anai equipment are nothing new in this war but the latest batch i comes at a time when U.S. in volvement here has been deep ened.
