Geneva Convention tho reporter Jennings thought
it because of TV as much as anything. Jennings
also stated that rather than humiliation, there was
relief among W. Pak soldiers who are glad not
to be fighting in what they had come to consider a
foreign country. India's defense minister said he
does not expect bad feeling between Ind-Pak to
erupt into another shooting war. He called on
Bhutto to "have the wisdom to see the reality of
the situation¹¹ and work for a negotiated settlement
with India
The PRC has decided to close its
consulate general in Dacca "in view of the occupation
of E. Pak by Indian armed forces. 11
Secy. Rogers listed the tragic events of the sub-
continent as the greatest disappointment of US
foreign policy in '71.
UN
CBS AM News interviewed new Secy. Gen. Waldheim
who said that the UN is in a real crisis and there is
no sense trying to hide it. He hopes first to deal
with the org's administrative and financial problems
because until they are solved, political problems can
not be dealt with. On both Ind-Pak and the Mideast,
Waldheim said that negotiations are the answer
particularly since the UN can only encourage
members to follow their advice
On 'Today''
Waldheim rejected the characterization that he is
an administrator, rather than an innovator. "I do
not have in mind just to administer this organization,"
he said. He added that he understands his limitations
and will not exceed them but that he believes he will
use his powers in "the right way. 11
The International Press Institute criticized U Thant
for withdrawing the news accreditation of the
Nationalists calling the decision "a serious restric-
tion of the free flow of information. 11
