resolution in the U.N. Security Council early Sunday calling for a cease-fire and bilateral troop withdrawal along the war-torn India-Pakistan borders. Over U.S. objections, the Council recessed at 1:27 a.m. EST and scheduled resumption of its emergency session for 2:30 p.m.

Sunday. U.S. Ambassador George Bush, contending that failure to adopt a cease-fire and withdrawal order made the 15-member council look "impotent" and "weak," had urged that the deliberations continue until agreement was reached on a cease-fire. "The world is watching what we are doing," Bush said. The council had been in session for seven hours and 52 minutes when it quit JAPAN: 33 RE what now?

Three resolutions, including one by the Soviets, were placed before the council after the American proposal was defeated. One of the resolutions, sponsored by Argentina, Burundi, Nicaragua, Sierra Leone and Somalia, would provide for a cease-fire and troop withdrawal as the U.S. resolution did.

The Soviet resolution called for a "political settlement" in rebellious East Pakistan and urged the Pakistan government to cease "all acts of violence by Pakistani forces in East Pakistan which have led to deterioration of the situation." China participated in the debate but did not take part in the vote on the American resolution. The Soviet veto that killed it was the 106th cast by the Russians in the history of the Security Council. Indian warplanes struck at the seaport city of Karachi, West Pakistan, last night in raids lasting more than an hour-the longest air attacks on the city so far in the allout, but undeclared war between India and Pakistan. UPI correspondent Lemmy Pinna, reporting from Karachi, said a total of six raids were conducted against the city yesterday by Indian planes. THERE WERE NO immediate reports of casualties but Pinna said the night sky over Keamari, site of Karachi's main oil dump and the location of the Pakistan Air Force headquarters, was shrouded with thick, black smoke.

The union's full statewide negotiating team acted after an appeal from Gov. John A.

Burns to the ILWU and management to keep the ports open. BURNS ALSO ANNOUNCED he had asked a Federal-State mediation team to enter the negotiations, which were at an impasse. The mediators are two veterans: Reynold F. (Ron) Hagist, Federal mediator who has had some 40 years' experience in labor-management relations in Hawaii and on the Mainland. Bert T.

Kobayashi, former State attorney general and now an associate justice of the Hawaii Supreme Court, who has a record of resolving earlier disputes between the ILWU and various industries. After conferring for nearly three hours with the two sides, Hagist announced yesterday: "THE UNION HAS AGREED to the Governor's request for them to 'stop the see ILWU on A-6, col. 1 fatherless children need help Advertiser Photo by David Yamada The Big Red: man, they were all over the field and the stands. Cornhuskers: they were just EVERYWHERE! By JIM RICHARDSON Advertiser Assistant City Editor A cornhusker, folks, is a person from Nebraska who thinks it is more blessed to give than to receive. Some of those critters visited old Honolulu Stadium last night and, sure enough, gave all they had to the University of Hawaii Rainbows.

The University took it, too, in the finest spirit of aloha: they lost 45 to 3 and Nebraska is still No. 1. But that's only part of the story. BY 7:30 last night the stadium squirmed under the weight of a capacity crowd of 23,002, many of whom showed up just to say they were there. You know, like this was some great moment in history and they wanted to be able to say years from now, "back in December of '71 I was at the old Honolulu Stadium when Then there were even those, who really thought BEAT Nebras- Hawaii ka.

It's the optimism that comes from all that lovely sunshine we have. We didn't think that for long, though. NEBRASKANS were almost everywhere, all dressed in red and with "Go Big printed on the back their shirts. They were sitting almost everywhere in the stadium, in sections of hundreds each. About the only place not saturated with red was the University's stretch of stands on the mauka side.

C. has had a hard time adjusting to the idea of heading the family, and coping with her loneliness. And now Christmas is around the corner, and with it comes the extra worry that she will not be able to give gifts to her children. There may not even be enough money for Christmas dinner. Although the children haven't asked for anything this Christmas, social workers know their first Christmas without a father will be unhappy time for everyone.

Here is a case where money from the Advertiser Christmas Fund can help. The Fund is collected for the Volunteer Service Bureau to distribute to Island's neediest and most deserving families. The Bureau will convert the cash into Christmas toys, clothes, food- tokens of remembrance for the lonely and forgotten. If you would like to contribute to the fund, send your money contribution to the Advertiser Christmas Fund, P.O. Box 3110, Honolulu, 96802.
