(HEWS Photo by Carroll Hall) India Signs Border Pact With Pakistan SIMLA, India (AP) Prime Minister Indira Gandhi of India and Presideu. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto of Pakistan signed an agreement early Monday call-ing for partial troop withdrawal all along their common border, including the explosive ceasefire line in Kashmir. The pact was signed at a hastily arranged ceremony nine hours before Bhutto was scheduled to return to Pakistan, culminating five days of tough summit bargaining in this Himalayan hill station resort. An official Pakistan spokesman said the document called for troop withdrawals along the 800-mile western Indian border with Pakistan and the cease-fire line in disputed Kashmir. Indian sources said other points of the agreement were renunciation of force to settle disputes and the settling of mutual problems bilaterally without calling in third parties.

An official of the Pakistan Foreign Office said the agreement also will lead to separate talks on the return of Pakistani prisoners of war sometime between this summit and the next meeting of the two leaders. No date was mentioned for the next summit, which probably would take place in Pakistan. Officials said the agreement would lead to a durable peace between the two hostile neighbors, who have fought four wars since 1947, when Pakistan was carved out of British India and granted independence. A Pakistani official said the troop withdrawals would occur all along the line. Military sources in Pakistan say India and Pakistan have been building up their forces along the cease-fire line, particularly in the northern areas where the Indians seized high points controlled by Paki-stan before the December 1971 war.

That war resulted in creation of the new state of Bangladesh out of the former East Pakistan. Chess Match Rescheduled In Iceland kEYKJAVIK.

Political potpourri: Five names being bandied around as potential candidates for the Democratic nomination for governor in 1974: Congressman Peter Kyros, National Committeeman George Mitchell, State Chairman Severin Beliveau, Representative John Martin and former governors councilor Richard Broderick. Novel thought: The one advanced to me by a woman who suspects Senator Smith would, if re-elected, eventually resign so that her administrative assistant, William C. Lewis, could be appointed to succeed her.

It wouldnt be the first time Bill has been called Senator Lewis. However, Margaret would have to wait until after Gov. Curtis was out of office. The other prerequisite is that Kens successor be a Republican. And what is the governor going to do after his terms up? Return to the practice of law, maybe in Portland and on his own.

And Congressman Bill Hathaway? If he doesnt defeat Margaret, hell become an attorney also, in Lewiston or Auburn. Kyros is an enigma in a way. Now serving his third term in the House, he won re-election both times with ease, yet the party establishment is trying to shunt him to one side as a Blaine House prospect in 1974. Any theories?
