FOUR THE BRIDGEPORT POST, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1965. KASHMIR 'WAR' STILL RAGING IN SECOND DAY (Continued from Page One) the second day, a defense ministry spokesman said Pakistani "We are still pushing each other around in the border areas," lie said, India claims at least 3,000 infantry supported by up lo 70 U.S. -made Palton i tanks attacked in a two-pronged offensive in the Chhamb sector of southwest Kashmir after heavy artillery barrage. One Pakistani spearhead crossed the international frontier and headed in the direction of a Kashmir's winter capital, and the other crossed the U.N. cease-fire line a north and moved loward the of Chhamb and Dewa, the Indians claim.

The Pakistanis claimed they had laken a and Dewa and shot down at least four Indian planes in fighting Wednesday. The I i a spokesman said he could neither confirm nor deny these claims. Closer to Allout War The fighting, which followed three earlier Indian attacks into Pakistani Kashmir, moved the two nations closer to the a of an allout war. They fought such a war in 1948 over this same Himalayan state. It was learned that India decided to throw its air force into action when forward units reported being attacked by tanks.

The planes destroyed 10 tanks and damaged other vehicles and artillery that had moved into Indian positions, New Delhi's spokesman said. The use of tanks and planes represented a serious escalation of the fighting. The Iwo nations had never before used air power on armor on a large scale against each other. The Indian spokesman said he had no reports of major action spreading lo any other sector along the 470-mile cease-fire line or the international fronlicr separating India and Pakistan. There have been persistent but unconfirmed reports of troop movements in eastern India and east Pakistan, especially in the vicinity of the Indian state of Tripura.

But the spokesman said he had no information to that effect. More Guerrilla Strikes There were reports, however, of increased strikes by guerrillas operating behind the Indian lines in Kashmir's interior. Pakistani broadcasts said the guerrillas which it called "freedom fighters" hit at Nau- shehra, about 22 miles northwest of the Clihamb sector, where regular i of the two armies were tangling. India claims up to. 5,000 "Pakistani infiltrators" were thrown into Kashmir beginning Aug.

5 in an unsuccessful a to start an i i among Kash miri Moslems against rule by Hindi India. U.N. Secretary-General Thant cabled a plea Wednesday to I i a Prime Minister Lai Bahadur Shastri and Pakistan President Mohammed Ayub Khan "lo indicale i i a your intention to respect the cease-fire agreement" for Kashmir that the two countries made in 1949. He urged this "in interests of peace in your area and in the world." Calls for Ccase-Fire He said restoration of Ihe cease-fire required an end lo firing across the cease-fire line; a stop to crossings of the line by armed personnel from both sides; withdrawal of armed personnel of each party from positions taken from the other, and full freedom of movement for U.N. cease-fire observers.

About an hour after Thanl's messages were published, U.S Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg read a statement to correspond cnts at U.N. headquarters ir New York that "the United Stales fully endorses Ihe appea: made by the secretary-gener al." "The United Stales," he said "attaches the greatest impor tance to the restoration of peace in the area and the avoidance any action likely to threaten further the maintenance of (ernational peace."

TOUND' NEEDED IN WASHINGTON WASHINGTON (AP) The nation's capital has another dogged problem: It needs a new dog pound. And, like most things in iVashington, il's nol so simple. The old pound is situated across the street from a mul- ultra-modern motel on the city's southwest side. Molel officials want it removed immediately.

They say it was supposed lo be moved before the molel was opened three years ago. But district officials say Congress has allotted them only $130,000 for the new facility and, thus a no contractor has been willing to build a new pound for a money. John King poundmaster, said Wednesday that the new pound should include air condition, facilities for 150 dogs and ceramic tile or concrete floors. "Piped in music would be all righl," he said, "but it's not necessary." District officials have made two attempts to get a satisfactory bid for construclion of Ihe new pound. A third attempt will be made Sept.
