July 1972, 5 SPRINGFIELD (Mo.) LEADER-PRESS Pakistan From Front Page Briefly From Front Page Hijack From Front Page close associate of Nixon's, xjaid Nhan Dan, and -Mrs. Mitchell has lately "strongly de-" nounced to the American public the dirty tricks of Nixon and his Republican Dartv in surprised Indian negotiators with an almost indifferent attitude toward them. Bhutto flew home today but was delayed for more than an hour by thick fog and a drizzle. Before climbing into an Indian army Bhutto turned to Mrs. Gandhi and said, "Thank you for everything." She appeared more relaxed than at any previous public appeat ante during the summit meeting.

Until Sunday, Bhutto and Mrs. Gindhi had met for a total of less than five hours, and Bhutto told a news conference, "I wouldn't say things have gone all the disgusting machinations of the Republican bosses. The so-called 'family tea-sons' are in reality political reasons of the Republican party. In any case, this suffices to expope the odious nature of Nixon and his clan in the current election campaign in the United States." smoothly." Then he and Mrs. Gandhi met before dinner at the house where he made his headquarters and talked for two hours.

After dinner they walked in the chill air of the Himalayan foothills, then were closeted with top aides. Meanwhile, other aides worked engrafts of the agreement at a billiard table in an adjacent room, and 30 minutes before the televised signing ceremony typists began preparing the final documents. occupied 53 square miles. The agreement said the troops withdrawals would take place within 30 days after ratification by both governments. Radio Pakistan announced that the Pakistani National Assembly would meet July 10 to ratify the agreement.

Under the Indian constitution, parliamentary ratification is not necessary. India and Pakistan have ac- of repatriation of prisoners, of lyar and civilian internees, a final settlement of Jammu and Kashmir and the resumption of diplomatic relations." Excluding Kashmir, India during the December war seized a total of 5,139 square miles of territory in West Pakistan, while Pakistan took 69 square miles of Indian territory. In Kashmir, where the troops will remain in position, India took 480 square miles and Pakistan the election campaign.

But the airline described them as harmless "egg-shaped objects" wrapped in aluminum foil. The hijacking attempt began after the jumbo jet, flight 841, left Manila on the last leg of its San Francisco-to-Saigon flight. Binh, who had boarded In Honolulu, grabbed stewardess May Yuen. 23, a Hong Kong Chinese, as a hostage and sent two notes to the control cabin demanding that the plane be diverted to Hanoi. The hijacker, in the rear pas-s compartment, also talked with the pilot, Capt.

Gene Vaughn, 53. of Scottsdale, over the intercom. "I am doing this for revenge," Vaughn said he told him. "Your bombers are maiming and killing our people of the Democratic Republic of 'North Vietnam. You are going to fly me to Hanoi and this airplane will be S'ONN'.

In many places the troops rence to the charter of the United Nation several including a pledge to refrain from the threat or use of force. Rut. the bilateral settlement clause was considered a victory for the Indian position that the United Nations fias no legal basis for being in Kashmir as an observer because tho December war altered the original 1949 cease-fire line.

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 ue 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 made for months. She had contended that India must have an over-all settlement, starting with Kashmir, before going on to less emotional issues. Bhulln, who said news conference Sunday that Kashmir remained the basic differ' ence 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'eoncessions he will have to make.
