U.S. Tries to Establish India-Pakistan Accord
RAWALPINDI, Pakistan—(UPI)—Averell Harriman said today that the tide is running in favor of a settlement of problems between India and Pakistan, including the bitter quarrel over Kashmir.
Harriman, assistant secretary of state for Far Eastern Affairs, arrived here at 6 a.m. (CST) from New Delhi, where he surveyed Indian military assistance needs at the direction of President Kennedy.
"I FOUND IN New Delhi many people concentrating on problems arising from the Chinese aggression," he told newsmen after he landed.
"I certainly hope nothing happens to change this." Harriman said of his view about possible betterment of Indian-Pakistani relations.
He said he would meet with President Mohammad Ayub Khan tomorrow and discuss the situation caused by the Sino-Indian border conflict "and how it relates to the security of Pakistan and the entire sub-continent."
Observers noted that no high government official met Harriman and his party, which included Gen. Paul Adams, head of the U.S. Strike Command, and Paul Nitze, assistant secretary of defense. He was greeted by Mohammad Sultan, deputy protocol officer.
Before Harriman left the Indian capital he told newsmen that the United States felt that any military aid given India in its fight against Communist Chinese aggression also was part of the Defense of Pakistan.
PAKISTANI OFFICIALS have been demanding an end to the alliance with the United States if American arms are given to India. The Pakistanis are fearful that any such arms might be used against them in the long smouldering dispute over Kashmir.
Pakistani President Mohammad Ayub Khan and officials of his government have charged India's Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru with over-exaggerating the Communist Chinese attacks in an effort to obtain large-scale military supplies for eventual use against this country.
It is believed Harriman will try to convince Ayub's government that it is in its own interests to line up with India against the Communist onslaught.
ASC Lists Nominees For Executive Offices

This is what Rab Malik, Pakistan graduate student and ASC representative, told new members last night, following their induction at the ASC general session.
He added that the ASC is the only
Influenza Strikes Pope John XXIII
VATICAN CITY — (UPI) — Pope John XXIII cancelled his audiences today for the second day in a row because he is "indisposed" with influenza, nausea and lack of appetite
Dr. Luciano Casimirri, head of the Vatican press office, said:
"His holiness is suffering from influenza and has nausea and lack of appetite. That is all I can say at the moment and I do not believe any communique will be issued."
However, a few minutes later, when newsmen insisted on some form of communique, the head of the press office said:
"You can say, the Pope was not able to hold his regular general audience today because he is slightly indisposed."
Casimirri denied as "completely unfounded" published reports that the 81-year-old Pope may have to undergo an operation because of prostate gland trouble.
Casimirri noted that the Pope's personal physician was the only person who could make a decision on an operation "and he has not even seen the Pontiff for some time."
However, Prof. Antonio Gasbarrini, named Papal physician only eight days ago after the death of Dr. Filippo Rocchi who had attended the Pope for some time, came to Rome from Bologna this afternoon.
The ASC also named candidates for secretary and vice-chairman, Thomas G. Turner, Seattle, Wash., senior, and Phyllis Wertzberger, Lawrence graduate student, were nominated for the vice-chairmanship. The office of secretary will be filled either by Jane Breckenridge, Louisburg sophomore, or Jerrier Sue Trantum, Kansas City junior.

APELDOORN. Holland — (UPI)
Dutch Queen Dies at 82
At her bedside in the wooded estate of Het Loo Palace were her daughter, Queen Juliana; Prince Bernhard, Juliana's husband, and two granddaughters, Princesses Margriet and Marije.
THIS NATION of 11.4 million was plunged into deep mourning for the beloved Queen Mother who had lifted its spirits and bolstered its courage during the darkest days of World War II.
A Queen's household spokesman said Wilhelmina's funeral "will not take place before next Wednesday," allowing for the customary eight-day mourning period. The body is expected to lie in state in the Delft Cathedral beginning next week.
Both houses of parliament met to commemorate Wilhelmina's death.
Apeldoorn Lord Mayor Antoine L. Des Tombes announced the local church bells will peal three times daily for 15-minute periods until Wilhelmina is buried.
She had ruled from the throne longer than any other member of the House of Orange, ascending at the age of 10 in 1890. She was officially crowned 8 years later.

Castro May Stand Alone In Demands
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—(UPI)—Top U.S. and Soviet negotiators went into a closed session at the Russian embassy today amid reports the Kremlin had dropped Fidel Castro's five-point demands for a Cuban crisis settlement.
Reliable sources said Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mikoyan informed Acting Secretary General Thant Russia would not insist on Castro's demands for U.S. withdrawal from Guantanamo Naval Base, cessation of "pirate" attacks and "subversive" activities, ending of the economic blockade of Cuba and stopping of the island's aerial
Swedes Urge Panel on Arms
GENEVA — (UPI) Sweden called on the 17-nation disarmament conference today to set up an international scientific panel to police a moratorium on nuclear testing throughout the world.
Swedish Ambassador Rolf Edberg told the conference's 84th plenary session:
"If we do not act very soon it will be too late because we do not know how long the favorable circumstances will last which now seem to facilitate an agreement."
The Swedish proposal was an attempt to break the deadlock between the great nuclear powers of East and West — Russia, the United States and Britain — who were meeting later today.
EDBERG SAID the proposed commission of scientists could serve as the nucleus of a disarmament organization to police a fully-disarmed world.
He said such a watchdog commission would "greatly reduce the risk which the Western nuclear powers believe to be inherent in a so-called uncontrolled moratorium."
The Swedish ambassador said the scientific panel would be of value if allowed to make on-site inspections of recorded seismic events. He said he felt the Soviet Union "does not object to the opening up of such a possibility."
Chances for an early agreement among the three nuclear powers appeared slim, however.
There was no immediate reaction from the Soviet delegation. Sources close to other Eastern-bloc delegations showed great interest in the proposal.
BUT THEY SAID Mikoyan stood behind Castro's refusal of on-site inspection of offensive weapons systems in Cuba unless the United States agrees to reciprocal inspection of "invasion" bases in Florida and elsewhere in the hemisphere.
U. S. Ambassadors Adlai E. Stevenson, John J. McCloy and Charles W. Yost went to the Soviet embassy in midtown New York at 11:30 a.m. for a session with Mikoyan, Deputy Foreign Ministers Vasily V. Kuznetsov and Valerian A. Zorin, and Foreign Office expert L. I. Mendelevich.
THEY HOPED to reach an accord which could be put before the security council to wind up the diplomatic phase of the Cuban crisis possibly early next week. Failing agreement, it appeared likely that the United States, Russian, Cuba and Thant would file written reports of the position with the 11-nation body.
Thant was reported to have told intimates of the switch in the Soviet position. It was conveyed to him, informants said, by Mikovan in a private meeting before the U.N. Chief gave a dinner Monday night for the top negotiators from both sides. No Cuban was present.
STEVENSON AND John J. McCloy, chief of President Kennedy's Cuban crisis diplomatic task force, made a full report on the dinner meeting to the President in Washington yesterday.
The reported Soviet shift left the situation virtually where it was before the crisis was disclosed by Kennedy in his Oct. 22 television appearance.
