A-5 Enquirer and News, Battle Creek, July 3, 1972 jlTimrai.irim.imji!!;; India, Pakistan agree to pullbacks All but Kashmir territorial questions settled at Simla Mormon leader J. F. Smith Jr. is heart victim Kashmir, before going on to less emotional issues. Bhutto, who said at a news conference Sunday that Kashmir remained the basic difference between the two, had preferred a piecemeal approach, leaving Kashmir for settlement after relations improve a bit.

Apparently Bhutto doesn't think Pakistani public opinion is ready for the concessions he will have to make. Sources close to the negotiations said India had planned to use the prisoners of war as bargaining levers, but Pakistan had surprised Indian negotiators with an almost indifferent attitude toward them. The pact is the second renunciation of force between the countries in six years. After their September 1965 war over Kashmir, they agreed in January 1966 at Tashkent, in the Soviet Union, not to use force again. That agreement finally dissolved in December.

Agreeing to renounce force apparently was another victory for India, because a few hours before he signed the agreement Bhutto told newsmen he disliked the term "no-war pact" which India had called for. Mrs. Gandhi abandoned a basic stand she had made for months. She had contended that India must have an overall settlement, starting with India and Pakistan have accused each other of frequent violations of the cease-fire in Kashmir and along the demarcation line in the Indian states of Rajas-than, Gujarat and Punjab. In many places the troops are bivouacked within sight of each other.

The agreement pledged adherence to the charter of the United Nations several times, including a pledge to refrain from the threat or use of force. But the bilateral settlement clause was considered a victory for the Indian position that the United Nations has no legal basis for being in Kashmir as an observer because the December war altered the original 1949 ceasefire line. Bhutto would meet again "at a mutally convenient time in the future and that in the meanwhile, the representatives of the two sides will meet to discuss further the normalization of relations, including the questions of repatriation of prisoners of war and civilian internees, a final settlement of Jammu and Kashmir and the resumption of diplomatic relations." Excluding Kashmir, India seized a total of 5,139 square miles of territory in West Pakistan during the December war, while Pakistan took 69 square miles of Indian territory. In Kahsmir, where the troops will remain in position, India took 480 square miles and Pakistan occupied 53 miles. SIMLA, India (AP) Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto reached their first peace agreement early today and promised future negotiations on the other issues between their two nations, including Kashmir and the Pakistani POWs in India.

The agreement, which came after five days of talks in this Himalayan resort, said Indian and Pakistani forces will withdraw from the territories they seized last December along India's western border except in Kashmir. There they will maintain the ceasefire line established by the two-week war in December. The pact also contained a pledge to settle all disputes bilaterally and peacefully, and said steps should be taken to restore and normalize relations, which Pakistan severed Dec. 6 when India recognized Bangladesh, the former East Pakistan. The agreement gave no timetable, but called for mea-s to resume communications and air links, promote travel between their countries, reopen trade, and carry out scientific and cultural exchanges.

It said Mrs. Gandhi and SALT LAKE CITY (AP) The man called prophet, seer and revelator by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), President Joseph Fielding Smith has died. Smith was stricken by a heart attack Sunday night at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Bruce R. McConkie.

He would have been 96 July 19. Smith had addressed the last general conference of I he 3-million-member church in April and had not been ill. He was the son of another church president and a grand nephew of church founder Joseph Smith. Funeral arrangements were pending. Smith's likely successor is Harold B.

Lee, 73, who has been first counselor to the president and president of the church's Council of The Twelve. The president of The Twelve the man who has been a member of the body the longest traditionally becomes church president. The formal selection of a successor is expected after the funeral. His name will be announced by The Twelve. Smith's death came three days after the 142-year-old church announced a reorganization to handle its growing numbers.

Statistics show it has grown 94 per cent throughout the world in the last 12 years. Smith was a member of The Twelve, (which Mormons believe is the modern inheritor of Jesus. Christ's Twelve Apostles), for 60 years before he was selected president in January 1970 upon the death of David 0. McKay. Smith traveled to England to address the church's first regional conference in his 95th year and was to attend a similar conference in Mexico City later this year.

He was considered a. direct link to God by Mormons, who believe their church was started by Jesus Christ, removed from the earth for some 1,800 years and restored in the United States. The church refuses to be classified as Protestant. Smith was known as an uncompromising defender of Mormonism. He opposed any watering down of the religion, which has ignored ecumenism with any other faith.

Mormons are forbidden to use cigarettes, alcoholic drinks, coffee and tea.

Something Can Be Done For Asthma There has been much study of the causes and cures of asthma but with little success until Chiropractic began to investigate this affliction. Asthma is a condition of excessive construction of the bronchial tubes and congestion of the mucous membrance lining the tubes. It has been found that spinal irritation brings this condition about.

Tiny telegraphic messages carried by nerve fibres cause these muscles to contract or relax, changing the diameter of the bronchial tubes to meet the varying needs of the body. The mucous secretions are also regulated by this nervous mechanism. The Chiropractor regulates and brings back to normal the nerve supply to the bronchial tubes by adjusting the spine where the nerve supplying this area is impaired.
