United Press International
Pakistan President Mohammad
Zia ul-Haq has responded to reports
of increased fighting between Soviet
forces and Moslem rebels in eastern
Afghanistan by warning the Russians
not to cross the border in pursuit of
the guerrillas.
“Our firm resolve is to defend our
national independence and territo
rial integrity at any cost if we ever
find these imperiled,” Zia said
Wednesday at a ceremony marking
the first overhaul of a French-built
Mirage jet fighter by a Pakistani fac
tory.
The statement by Zia, who is seek
ing military aid from the United
States, followed diplomatic confir
mation of rebel claims of victories

against Soviet and Afghan troops,
mostly in areas close to the border
with Pakistan.
In Washington, the White House
said since the Soviets ignored
Wednesday’s deadline President
Carter had set for a withdrawal, the
United States would boycott the
summer Olympic Games in
Moscow.
“The president has made his deci
sion since the troops are not with
drawn that no U.S. team should be
sent to Moscow,” said Lloyd Cutler,
White House counsel.
The U.S. Olympic Committee,
which has the final decision in the
matter, has reportedly agreed to
yield to Carter’s request.
Moslem guerrillas reportedly
have almost completely halted traffic
on the highway linking the Afghan
capital of Kabul and the strategic city
of Jalalabad, 60 miles to the east.
The Islamic Front rebel group said
in Peshawar that Pakistan, guerrilla
forces also had set up roadblocks and
staged raids along the highway link
ing Kabul and the southern provin
cial capital of Kandahar.
Diplomats, who recently played
down rebel claims of battle victories
as exagerrations, are now confirming
most of the information coming from
the area around Jalalabad, the capital
of Nangarhar province.
Soviet troops in Afghanistan are
being drawn deeper into the fighting
with guerrillas as the Afghan army
crumbles under soaring desertions.
Diplomats said the Afghan forces
have dwindled to 40,000 men from
about 70,000 before the Dec. 27
Soviet invasion.

On the Western diplomatic front,
U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance
was in Paris Thursday to discuss an
allied response to the Soviet action in
Afghanistan. The French have been
the least supportive of United States
efforts in the area.

In a tough new statement, the
militant captors of 50 Americans in
Tehran said Thursday it would be
“foolish” to expect clemency for the
hostages if the deposed shah and his
riches were not quickly returned.
“Criminal America must deliver
up fugitive Mohammed Reza (Pahla-
vi) and the assets he has stolen,” the
militants said in a Tehran Radio
statement monitored by the BBC in
London.
“In the event of any delay, any
expectation of clemency for the hos
tages would be foolish.”
The statement, on the 110th day of
the hostages’ captivity in the U.S.
Embassy, threw cold water on hopes
that a U.N. commission appointed to
investigate Iranian charges against

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Doc
tors say King Khaled, the quiet son of
a warrior who became monarch of
Saudi Arabia five years ago, needs
several days of rest to recover from
exhaustion, but his condition is im
proving.
Khaled, 67, was hospitalized
Tuesday with what doctors de
scribed as exhaustion from a trip
around his desert kingdom.
A medical report issued Wednes
day said Khaled needed a few more
days of rest, but he was “improving
rapidly” and the exhaustion “will
have no effect on the previous heart
surgeries his majesty had under
gone.”
Khaled underwent a series of tests
at the hospital, but there was no in
dication his current health problems
had any connection with the chronic
trouble that led to a heart attack in
1970 and open heart surgery at a
Cleveland, Ohio, clinic in 1972.
In 1976, he was treated in Switzer
land for a heart ailment and the fol
