Rahman, leader of the Awaml League Party that dominated East Pakistan, was arrested and taken to West Pakistan last March when civil war erupted in the east between Bengalis and West Pakistani troops sent in to crush their bid for autonomy. There have been reports that he was executed. THE BEGUM told Indian officers she and her daughters had been held prisoner in the house in Dacca since Mar. 25. M.

R. Siddiqui, Bangla Desh envoy to Washington, told a news conference Friday night that India would not release the 75,000 Pakistani soldiers captured in the war until West Pakistan frees Rahman.

In Key Biscay ne, President Nixon hailed the end of fighting and said the cooperation of all UN members is essential to promote a lasting political solution in South Asia.

Press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler repeated Nixon's view that Indian forces should withdraw from East Pakistan "in an orderly and systematic way." Ziegler would not be drawn into a discussion of whether the United States would recognize Bangla Desh, nor would he say whether the U. S. planned to resume economic aid to India, cut off during the war. Wisconsin A State Journal 115 South Corrirll Modison, Wjj.
