Pakistan warns of major conflict as Indians continue occupation fc
India’s troops have carved out
a three-to five-mile stretch of
East Pakistan in five days of oc
cupation and have cut the only
rail line into the northwest sector
of the troubled province, an In
dian spokesman said Wednesday.
Pakistan warned that the two na
tions were drifting toward a ma
jor conflict.
The spokesman told reporters
in New Delhi the main Indian
objective is to make it possible
for 10 million East Pakistani ref
ugees in India “to go back to their
homes in honor and dignity.”
“The immediate objective is to
silence the Pakistani shelling of
our citizens in the border towns,”
he continued. “But if you ask what
is our over-all objective, it is to
see that these refugees go back.”
The spokesman’s statement
followed by a day Prime Minis
ter Indira Gandhi’s demand that
West Pakistan pull its troops out
of East Pakistan, where it is try
ing to crush a rebellion, and let
the people there have their inde
pendence.
The spokesman disclosed that
Indian troops who had moved
across the frontier Saturday near
Hilli, about 190 miles northwest
of Dacca, East Pakistan’s capital,
were still there.
The spokesman said Indian
troops occupy the territory north
of Hilli, an important East Pak
istani rail center linking the sur
rounding Dinajpur district with
the rest of the province.
The spokesman asserted that
although Pakistani shelling had
stopped, the Indians did not feel
it safe to pull back across the
border because a brigade of Pak
istani soldiers was still in the
area.
Radio Pakistan claimed, how
ever, that Indian troops had been
driven back across the border at
Hilli.
Radio Pakistan quoted an of
ficial spokesman in Rawalpindi
as saying that so far war has
been avoided because of the ex
treme restraint shown by Paki
stan.
“As India is escalating the sit
uation, we are drifting toward a
major conflict,” the spokesman
added.
Although India never has ad
mitted it, a report from East
Pakistan said Indian troops also
were still inside the province in
the region of Jessore, about 175
miles south of Hilli.
Associated Press correspondent
Peter O’Loughlin reported from
Jessore, 15 miles from the border,
that Indian troops were four miles
west of that important garrison
town. Reporters who went out to
see for themselves came under
fire from an Indian tank.
Witnesses told O’Loughlin that
while the fighting appeared to be
less serious than claimed by either
side, Indian troops are increasing
their pressure on the smaller Pak
istani forces.
Irritated because they were for-

bidden to counterattack, Pakista
ni army officers predicted an In
dian attack in force on Jessore
in the near future.
They said India wanted Jessore
so they can proclaim it the capital
of Bangla Desh, the name mean
ing Bengali nation, given East
Pakistan by the rebels who are
doing most of the fighting against
the Pakistani army.
The Indian spokesman said India
is supporting the Mukti Bahini,
the East Pakistan rebel army, be
cause “we have a responsibility to
see that people in an adjacent
country are not annihilated.”
In New York, U.N. Secretary-
General U Thant passed on to
the Security Council the respon
sibility for acting on a Pakistani
request for U.N. observers to be
stationed along the East Pakis
tani border, a spokesman said.
There is no precedent for a
secretary-general acting on his
own in such a situation.
French scientist to live
in Texas cave 6 months
DEL RIO, Tex. —A French
scientist who plans to spend six
months in a Texas cave in hopes
of warping his time sense has de
layed start of his experiment un
til mid-December due to equip
ment and other problems.
Michel Siffre, a 32-year-old
Parisian, said a broken down
power generator, a faculty elec
tronic system and a lack of money
caused the delay. The experiment
was originally scheduled to begin
last week.
“Now I have the money and
I can buy the things I need,”
he said. “We are sure now that
I can go down about the 15th
of December.”
Siffre plans to spend about six
months in a mile-long limestone
cavern called Midnight Cave. The
water-carved cavern is south of
here and 200 feet below mesquite-
choked Texas ranch country.
The scientist said he is isolat
ing himself in the cave in hope
of losing the normal circadian,
or 24-hour, time cycle of crea
tures on the earth’s surface.
He said earlier that in pre
vious experiments cave dwellers
developed a 48-hour cycle in which
they could work 36 hours and
sleep 12 without ill effects.
Their time sense, however, re
turns to normal when they leave
the cave, he said.
Siffre said his underground
camp has been built and a base
camp at the mouth of the cave
has been established.
Much of the equipment need
ed—a communications system and
a power generator — had to be
hauled down a steep cliff beside
the cave’s mouth, and Siffre said
“we took many risks beginning
the quarter-ton engine generator
in.”
Water and food needed for his
long underground stay are be
ing stocked in the cavern now.
The Frenchman said about 1,500
kilograms (3,300 pounds) of can
ned foods and about 2,000 leters
(550 gallons) of water are being
hauled in for his provisions.
Siffre said a series of readings
on his body temperature, brain
waves and heart action are being
taken now to establish a baseline
for readings which will be taken
daily during his cave stay.
By comparison readings from
before, during and after the cave
stay, the scientist hopes to gain
an understanding of the 48-hour
cycle.
“We must find the mechanism
of the 48-hour rhythm,” he said.
U.N. sources said it was u „,
likely the council would meetoi
the request or reach agreement 1
private consultations to accj
to it. I For tno

N. Ireland truce rejected
BELFAST, Northern Ireland
t#*) — Irish guerrilla leaders
and the Belfast government have
rejected an appeal for a Christ
mas truce in Northern Ireland.
Prime Minister Jack Lynch of
the Irish Republic called for the
holiday truce in a televsioin in
terview Tuesday night. He sug
gested the removal of British
troops from the streets of London
derry and Belfast.
John Taylor, a minister in the
provincial Home Affairs Depart
ment on Wednesday called Lynch’s
appeal a “crazy proposal” which
was designed to permit the un
derground Irish Republican Army
—IRA—to regroup its forces un
der cover of a truce.
A spokesman for the militant
branch of the IRA said a truce
would only be accepted if the
provincial government is disband
ed, all Ireland united and all Brit
ish influence removed.
Violence continued. An elder
ly man was shot in the shoulder
by a guerilla gunman for try
ing to toss a smouldering gelig
nite bomb out the window of a
glass warehouse. Four other per
sons were injured by a blast in
the warehouse.
It was the second attack in a
week on a glazier store, appar
ently in an effort to halt win
dow repairs in the shattered city
center.
Police said three gunmen whom
they identified as members of the
IRA burst into the warehouse, or
dered everybody out and planted
three bombs. The elderly man
grabbed one of the bombs that
was smoking and tried to throw it
through a window.
He was shot in the shoulder
as the gunman fled. Workers at
the warehouse escaped before the
bombs went off but four were
slightly hurt by flying glass.
Police headquarters identified
the body of a man found slain
in a lonely country road near
the border with the Irish Repub-

were signs he had first been

Benner, 25, was on leave a!
the time of his death and was'
believed on his way back to his
