But, he credits the cooling-off attitude of the North Vietnamese toward peace talks and the current Tet New Year offensive in South Vietnam as Chinese encouraged. As far as China entering the Vietnam War, the professor does not feel China would allow itself to be dragged into the war until it has firm control over the South China provinces of Yunnan and Kwangsi, which border on Indo china. Dr. Domes said the Russians are as interested as Americans in containing China. He pointed to Russian attempts to influence tribes in China's Sinkiang Prov ince (far western China, border ing on Russia). There has been a constant flow of refugees from these tribes into Russia since 1961.

N.E., Room 810, Historian Gets Art Treasure Eight African art pieces valued at more than $1,800 have been added to the USC art collection through Morton J. May of the May Co. department store chain. May purchased the entire stock of a deceased New York dealer in African antiquities several years ago, sent the 500 objects on a tour throughout the United States and then, earlier this year, decided to distribute the items to representa tives of American museums. Dr. Richard D. Mandell, a USC professor of history, was one of nearly 100 giftees to assemble for the occasion When the 100 persons were turned loose among long rows of tables holding the objects, Dr. Mandell was able to grab up eight pieces varying in age from under 50 to over 200 years old. "The items I brought back are the product of about 45 seconds of avid snatching . . . at one point I was cruelly elbowed by a nun who was shouting with delight at the extraordinary riches," said 1)r. Mandell. il
