U.N. Security Council Saturday night called for as immediate cease-fire in Kashmir and demanded the withdrawal of Indian and Pakistani troops which have crossed the 1949 U.N. cease-fire line. The vote was unanimous on a proposal put forward by the six' elected members of the 11- nation council. Secretary-General Thant was directed to report back within three days on the implementation of the resolution.

The aim. of the council was to reinforce an appeal by the secretary-general which already had been rejected in effect by Indian Prime Minister Lai Bahadur Shastri. Just before the vote, India's Ambassador Gopa- laswami Parthasarathi indicated the council's appeal also would be turned down.

Cease-fire appeals from abroad were spurned and both governments warned their civilian populations to prepare for the worst.

Prime Minister Lai Bahadur Shastri of India in effect rejected a personal appeal from U.N. Secretary General Thant for an immediate cease-fire. Shastri said Pakistan first would have to withdraw its regular forces and "guerrillas" from what he called Indian territory. It seemed apparent that President Mohammed Ayub Khan of Pakistan would balk at such conditions, which would clearly label his country an aggressor. Pakistan has not replied formally to Thant's appeal.

In his message to Thant, Shastri said the first step toward a cease-fire must be an agreement by Pakistan to stop infiltrating across the cease-fire line.

In Pakistan, a spokesman said one of its F86 Sabre Jets was knocked down by Indian Soviet-made MIG21s but the pilot was saved. It was the first reference to India using the supersonic jets obtained from the Soviet Union. Informed sources said the Pakistani forces managed to cross the Tawi River, which would pose a threat to Jammu, winter capital of Indian-held Kashmir.

Earlier 40 Indian- air force jets engaged in a dogfight with Pakistani jets but broke off the fight "after 'a short, sharp engagement." Fighting erupted after a short lull in which the Indians hurried to strengthen their defenses along the Tawi River, and halt what looked like a Pakistani drive for Aknoor (Akhour), an important town on the strategic road linking Lammu with Nau- shehra and other Indian posts farther north along the cease- fire line.
