OCR Page 1 of 63THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN
DECEMBER 11, 1971
The war on the Subcontinent dominates this morning's headlines,
almost to the exclusion of other stories. These are the points
of focus in the headlines.
First, the Soviets used their second veto within 24 hours
to kill an American proposal for cease-fire and withdr aval. The
Soviets have also indicated that their own security interests
are jeopardized by the fighting near their frontier; and they have
placed the blame on Pakistan. The Chinese have urged the UN to con-
demn India.
On the fighting front, the Indrans this seem to have things
going their way. They are pouring into the East; they claim naval
victories against the major East and West Pakistani cities; they
claim to have freedom of the skies over the East. The view is gener
ally that the Indians will not stop short of removing Pakistan
forces from the East, and leaving a new nation, Bangla Desh, which
they have just today recognized.
A United States merchant ship was strafed by the Indians, and
the State Department has protested. India claims to have sunk two
Pakistani destroyers; India hasz also opened a second front in the
West.
The are of admitted Pakistani gains seems to be soley in the
long-disputed Vale of Kashmir.
Other stories include craims at both USC and Georgetwon that
cancer viruses have been isolated.
But India-Pakistan dominates all this mornigg; and the leade
on th t story is probably the 11-2 vote in the Security Council with
the Soviet veto one of the two votes.
