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 ordinal 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 use force again. That agreement finally dissolved in December. stti U.S.B reaks Up 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 cease-fire 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.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS More than 500,000 sunworship-pcrs jammed New Jersey beaches yesterday to take advantage of the first warm weather weekend since the summer started. By midday the beach patrols in Asbury Park and Atlantic City reported crowds of approaching record proportions, but they kept coming, possibly after hearing that the good weather may be short lived. The U.S. Weather Service forecast for today called for partly cloudy skies throughout the state and- a chance of showers or thunderstorms developing by afternoon.

Temperatures around the state ranged from the mid 70s in Atlantic City to 91 in Newark where the record high temperature was set in 1966 when the thermometer hit 102. Those who never got to the shore could probably be found at mountain resorts or on tho highways. It was estimated that 3.5 million cars would use the Garden State Parkway and the N.J.

In addition, it alleges that another $35,000 was to be paid for flying the explosives to an airfield near Vera Cruz, Mexico.

The complaint outlines negotiations with Diaz, including a trip he made to New York allegedly to confer with Kessler.

The complaint charging two of the men, Murray Kessler of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Adler B. Seal of Baton Route, alleged they "knew and believed that this material would be used in an attempted overthrow of a foreign nation." Gallinghouse refused to say precisely that the overthrow plot involved Cuba, but he said the complaint and his statement Sunday were "self-explanatory." The nine were charged with conspiring to smuggle the explosives from the U.S to Mexico for future shipment to a third country. Federal officials said that Kessler was held Sunday in the federal prison annex in New Orleans in lieu of $1000,000 bond and that Seal was held under $50,000 bond. They were arrested near the New Orleans International Airport Saturday.

McGovern, still the easy front-runner with 1,276.9 committed votes, with 1,509 needed for nomination, indicated Sunday he would be willing to compromise on the challenges to the California delegation, which he lost, and to the Illinois delegation, which his forces won.
