The clandestine voice of Kashmir Radio reported that so-called Kashmiri "freedom fighters" killed 200 Indian soldiers Sunday and blew up several bridges in the disputed state. U.N. military observers reported Sunday that the shaky truce along the border between India and West Pakistan south of Kashmir "further deteriorated." a General Thant passed that report along to the U.N.

Security Council in New York, but he did not ask for any council action. U.N. Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg, Security Council president this month, said in a television interview in New York Sunday that he was "quite confident" the ceasefire would be obeyed. He dismissed reports of fighting as "local incidents." Goldberg spoke before Thant's report.

By STEWART United Press International NEW YORK (UPI)-Secreta-y of Slate Dean Rusk meets oday with Pakistan Foreign Minister A. Bhutto, who is seeking American moral and material support for his country in its struggle with India over Kashmir. The conference was arranged at the request of Bhutto.

He was expected to ask early resumption of U. S. military and economic aid, as well as American backing in the United Nations during the forthcoming effort to arrange a political settlement. U. S.

officials said Rusk would have to disappoint Bhutto on bolh points. The U. S. position, as outlined by Rusk to his associates, is that: --There must be a major rcexamination of the whole situation in the wake of the Kashmir war, and some assurance that the precarious truce will hold, before the United Stales can even consider resuming military shipments or making new economic commit- tments.
