Ottawa TWENTY-EIGHT PAGES A THANT IGNORED Air Battles From AP-Reuters NEW DELHI (CP) -- Indian and Pakistani troops, tanks and battled in southwest Kashmir today and an Indian spokesman claimed two of Pak- fstan's jets were shot down. Pakistan denied any planes were lost. An Indian defence ministry spokesman said Pakistan's U.S.-made tanks and planes at- tacked in the Chamb sector northwest of Jammu and were quickly hit by Indian planes. The ministry reported two of the four attacking Pakistani Janes were down in the fight- 09 and word all Indian planes returned safi The defence ministry spokes- man said that advance lements of Pakistani forces had crossed the Tawi River in the Chamb sector of Indian-held Kashmir. a five-mile salient on the Kash- mir ceasefire line occupied ear- lier by Pakistani forces.

He claimed three more Pak- istani tanks--American - built Pattons--were knocked out by ground fire. The Indians ad- mitted losing one tank. The Indians now claim to have destroyed 22 Pakistani tanks in the fighting so far. Neither side was paying any attention to a ceasefire appeal by UN Secretary-General U Thant. U.S, Ambassador Chester Bowles conferred here today with Premier Shastri, Indian of- ficial sources said. A US. state department spokesman said the U.S. still is trying to obtain "verifiable in- formation" about the use of American arms, The attack on the tanks oc- curred in the same area where India reported Friday it had shot down two U.S§.-built jets of the Pakistani air force. New Delhi promptly protested to |Washington against Pakistan's use of the weapons, sent to Pakistan under a U.S. military Pakistan army were in contact aid program. India Will Ignore Appeal From UN: 'Unacceptable' Shastri was reported today to have found Thant's ceasefire appeal unacceptable. Widely circulated reports in New Delhi said the Indian gov- ernment is insisting that any ceasefire will have to label Pak- istan an aggressor and provide for Pakistani withdrawal . of guerrillas from the Indian-held section of Kashmir--conditions almost certain to be rejected) by Pakistan. President Ayub Khan of Pak- istan says India is the aggres- sor and disavows any control over the guerrillas. Shastri said in a nationwide broadcast Friday night: "A ceasefire is not peace. We tannot simply go from one to another and wait antil Pakistan chooses to start hostilities. again." Shastri tovented for sacrifice and home front discipline and called for volunteers for the home guard. He warned hard days lay ahead. In the Pakistani capital of Rawalpindi; the Kashmir "rev- olutionary council" appealed to Thant to "help withdraw for- 'eign forces from Kashmir so) that peace is restored." PRAISED THANT The council praised Thant for his peace efforts, but added: "While trying to bring about 2 peaceful solution. he should| fet forget that it is 5; Kashmir people and not India and Pakistan who really matter in this issue." ann jue Zulficar Ali Bhutto said in a broadcast "the hour of reckon- ing' has arrived and called on all nations friendly to Pakistan to show their solidarity in tangi- ble form.

Encephalitis Hits Six Kids| In Northern Ontario Town TORONTO (CP) -- The On- tario health department has de- cided against sending a medical team to the Matheson, Ont., area where six children have| been stricken with encephalitis, a form of sleeping sickness. Five of the children are in the Hospital for Sick Children) here. The fifth, Gaetan Lesard,} 10, arrived Thursday. His sis-| ter, Diane, 13, came earlier this} week. A sixth child, who be- came ill a month ago, has re- turned home. The children} range in age from 10 to 13) years. Dr. Graham B. Lane, med- ical health officer in the Tim- mins area, conferred here Fri- day with Dr. George E. Large, epidemiologist of. the provincial! health department. He said Dr, Large told him the department saw no purpose in sending investigators to the area 40 miles east of Timmins until the cause of the disease is discovered. MAY TAKE WEEKS But obtaining a definite diag- Inosis may take three weeks. Dr. Lane said the virus must be re- covered from the sick children and grown in a_ laboratory where tests can be made. "These children are lethargic, | which is an outstanding symp-| jtom of encephalitis--inflamma- jtion of the brain," he said. The disease can be caused by many viruses, he said. The request for a team of epi-/ [demiologists to visit Matheson was made by Dr. R. N. Killing- beck of the town. He said the disease may have been carried by ticks which live in the fur of rabbits or squirrels. Toronto naturalist James Woodford said the disease could be carried by birds.

(AP) -- A Ku Klux Klan leader has vowed to picket desegregated schools in Alabama until the protest is heard in Washington. Robert Creel, grand dragon of the Alabama Klan, pledged Friday to extend the protest about ..2 dozen... white. segrega- tionists picketing a high school in Bessemer, a Birmingham suburb. Bessemer High admitted nine Negroes this week. Creel said the picketing will continue '"'as in classrooms there." Negro pupils were turned away from white schools at two other Alabama towns. But at Selma, once the focal point of the civil rights struggle, 19 Negroes registered without in- cident at three white schools. Greensboro's white high school admitted six Negro girls whose transfers had been ap- proved. But when about 75 other Negroes sought to enroll they were turned away by the principal. NO TRANSFERS APPROVED At the nearby town of Akron, about 35 Negroes tried to en- ter the white school. No trans- fers had been approved and |the group was met by polite; and left without incident. Two other widely separated southern cities--Natchez, Miss., and Plymouth, N.C., remained quiet after recent violence. Natchez, with a population of about 25,000, appeared calm as national guardsmen patrolled the streets under orders to pre- vent crowds from forming.

"We can now say with confi- dence that the grim threat of thousands of men out of work of idle plants, of declining pro- duction for our economy and de- clining prosperity for all our people--that threat has been met and overcome." Officials didn't reveal the terms- pending ratification, but sources said the wage-benefit package is between 46 cents and 48 cents an hour over three years, depending on whether union or management figures are used. The 450,000-member United Steelworkers of America (AFL- CIO) had sought a package es- timated at 48.9 cents, Sources said the settlement would increase pensions about $5 a month per year of serv- ice, a 50-cent increase over the company's offer of $4.50.

They are (1 to r) Dan Stan- grecki, Mike Visnich and He's Trying On Election By KEN KELLY OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Min- ister Pearson stunned election- jittery politicians Friday with his offer to mediate the Kash- mir dispute and invoked de- risive jeers from opponents. Opposition Leader Diefen- baker called his offer a trans- parent device to back away from the brink of a fall general election, 'the result of which he fears." However, government sup- porters warned that Kashmir mediation by the prime minis- ter does not rule out a general election. They argued that if one comes, a Pearson effort to settle the explosive Kashmir dispute between India and Pak- istan could pay dividends do- mestically. Meanwhile, Mr. Pearson went into seclusion for four days at the Harrington Lake summer home of prime ministers about 40 miles north of the capital. His self-imposed deadline for letting the country know whether he will call a fan elec- tion is next Wednesday. While Mr. Diefenbaker said he assumes that a tionvis off, 6ne of his chief Heu- tenants, Alvin Hamilton, pub- licly forecast a cabinet shuffle and a series of byelections. Four Commons seats now are vacant -- Digby - Annapolis; Kings in Nova Scotia, Montreal Dollard and Victoria and Ken- ora-Rainy River in Ontario. Lib- erals held Dollard and Kenora, ce- Conservatives the other two. Mr. Hamilton said the cabinet shuffle and some Senate ap- pointments will produce more Commons vacancies but inform- ants in government ranks said there'll be no cabinet changes. The Pearson offer was made in the face of a certain number of risks. It was announced here without first. finding out the In- dian and Pakistani ~ govern: ments' views. Acceptance might involve the prime minister in long and trou- blesome negotiations at which his international peace-making reputation would be at stake, at least as far as his political opponents are concerned. Refusal by one or either Com- monwealth partner would be sure to have domestic political repercussions. But to Mr. Diefenbaker, the prime minister's move was dic- tated by fear of electoral defeat. He called it "a transparent de- vice to escape the consequences of his ill-advised election threats and rash indulgence in electoral brinkmanship."
