Fighting breaks out between India and Pakistan ^
A Pakistan army source
claimed Pakistani troops killed
48 Indian soldiers and wounded
80 Monday in renewed fighting
on the border between East Pak
istan and India’s Tripura State.
The claim followed Indian
charges that Pakistani troops
fired artillery Friday into the
Indian village of Kamalpur, scene
of heavy fighting earlier in the
week.
Monday’s fighting occurred in
the Belonia Bulge area in the
southeastern sector of East Pak
istan, the army source in Dacca
said. He said the Indians fired
1,150 artillery shells into 18 vil
lages.
The clash began when three
companies of “Indian agents”
and soldiers tried to force their
way into the Belonia Bulge after
overrunning a Pakistan army pa
trol, the source said. He added
that four Pakistanis were wound
ed before the Indians “were
thrown back.”
An Indian government spokes
man in New Delhi said the Pak
istani artillery barrage Friday at
Kamalpur, a northeastern border
village in Tripura state, was fol
lowed by a small-arms attack.
Indian forces returned the fire,
he said, and one Pakistani soldier
was killed. Indian casualties were
not reported.
Pakistani and Indian forces
battled for 24 hours last week
along the border town in what
government spokesmen described
as the first military action of its
type in the current crisis be
tween the two nations.
The spokesman again denied
that Indian troops crossed the
border during that skirmish or
in the latest one. “Our forces
have instructions not to cross the
border,” he said, “and in no in
stance have they crossed the bor
der.”
The reported shelling of Ka
malpur was among a list of mili
tary provocations attributed to
Pakistani forces by the Indian
government Monday at its daily
briefing on the border situation.
On the night of Nov. 5, the
spokesman charged, Pakistani
troops fired artillery into three
villages along the eastern border.

Casualties were not given.
That same night, he said, the
Pakistanis fired mortars at a
border area about 20 miles from
Cooch Behar in northern West
Bengal State, killing one border
security force constable and two
civilians. Indian troops returned
the fire.
Brief firefights, the spokesman
said, also broke out near the As
sam border southwest of Tura
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
On the western border, the
spokesman charged the Pakis
tanis with continued violations of
the two nations “cease-fire”
agreement. These violations, he
said, included the building of
bunkers.
In Dacca, police blamed

Low - priced su bstitutes
replace foods, prof says
By 1980, milk may not be milk,
nor coffee, coffee. Meat substi
tutes made from soybeans are
already available. And while the
prices of natural agricultural
products continue to rise, the
prices of substitutes, such as
sweeteners and other synthetics,
drop.
According to Dr. Chan Con
nolly, associate professor of the
Texas Agricultural Research and
Extension Center at Weslaco,
synthetics can be good for the
consumer, but not necessarily so
for the producer.
“The trend in the consumption
of more food synthetics and sub
stitutes will be gradual,” he said.
He gave as an example the cof
fee industry.
“The original cup of factory-
brewed coffee has now been sub
stituted by a cup of coffee util
izing only 50 percent of the
quantity of coffee bean s,” he

said. “We are well down tk
road to synthetic coffee. To most
coffee drinkers, instant coffee is
the only coffee they know, or tk
one they prefer. To all of them,
it is coffee — not synthetic.”
Another example is synthetic
sweeteners. Since 1968, sugar
prices have increased from nine
to almost 11 cents per pound,
“Synthetics have been a direct
result of our technological inno
vations, which, in turn, have been
responsible for our rapid eco
nomic development,” Connolly
said. “With the production of fu
ture technology, we can be as
sured that more substitutes will
appear on the market.”
One solution is obtaining pro
tective legislation. However, Con
nolly said this method would
only be good for the short term,
if that. The most satisfactory
solution would be the develop
ment of new agricultural prod
ucts.

Maritime Academy superintendent
James D. Craik to resign Jan. 31
Adm. James D. Craik (USCG-
Ret.), Texas Maritime Academy
superintendent, will resign Jan.
31, A&M President Jack K. Wil
liams announced Saturday at a
meeting here of the academy’s
board of visitors.
The admiral said his resigna
tion was prompted by a desire to
“re-retire.” He joined TMA in
1967 after a 38-year career in the
Coast Guard.
“We are indebted to Admiral
Craik for the four years he has
been on our staff,” Dr. Williams
said, “and we expect to have the
continued benefit of his counsel,
since he plans to retire in Gal
veston.”
“He is as responsible as a sin
gle man can be for the success
of the academy,” the A&M presi
dent added.
TMA is part of A&M and was
incorporated earlier this year in
to the new College of Marine
Sciences and Maritime Resources
at the university’s Mitchell Cam
pus on Galveston’s Pelican Is
land.
Schlapak and Price decorated
for prior outstanding service
Army Maj. Benjamin R. Schla
pak and T. Sgt. Orville L. Price
were decorated Friday at A&M
for outstanding service in previ
ous assignments.
The Military Science Depart
ment personnel received awards
from Col. Thomas R. Parsons,
professor of military science, at
a staff meeting.
Major Schlapak, 33, of Bald-
winville, Mass., was presented
the sixth Oak Leaf Cluster to the
Bronze Star Medal and the Viet
namese Technical Service Medal.
The freshman and sophomore
Army ROTC instructor was staff
engineer of the 43rd USARV
Individual Training Battalion in
Vietnam.
Sergeant Price, formerly
Abilene, received the Bronze Star
Medal and was cited for work as
rural development cadre advisor
in the Kien Hoa Province of
Vietnam. The 15-year veteran is
a light weapons infantryman and
operations intelligence NC0.
The non-com also wears
Combat Infantryman Badge;
parachutist wings and Com
mendation Medal. Price, 32, has
served two tours each in South
east Asia and the Canal Zone
and one in Korea.
