The decision was announced aft er seven years of persistent Soviet attempts to woo Pakistan into full) trade relations with the Kremlin. Until now Russia had only suc ceeded in arranging a ISM barter agreement under which Pakistan swapped raw jute for Soviet wheat. There was no indication, how ever, that Pakistan would consid er abandoning her role in the western-supported Baghdad pact or the Southeast Asian Treaty Or ganizationboth targets of bitter Soviet opposition. In an interview with Pakistani wmen in Moscow earlier this k, Soviet Premier Bulganin said a Moscow-Karachi trade pact "would have positive signifi cance." But no added pointedly, "the Soviet Union cannot be indif ferent to certain military blocs such as SEATO or the Baghdad pact." The Kremlin made its first bid to set up a Russian-Pakistani trade agreement in 1949 when it sent a trade delegation to Kara chi. In the course of negotiations, it was found that the Soviet terms were not acceptable to Pakistan. Since then, the Russians have made repeated attempts to nego tiate an agreement through the Soviet embassy in Karachi.

She indicated more would be forthcoming. "One thing is certain." she de clared, "few of the personalities he will meet in the United States are presently in a position to com mit the administration or Con gress to any specific and concrete promises.". Over the weekend a yRjng man who said he worked for Bristol went to the magazine office and offered what he called exclusive1 information. An employe of the i magazine told him to come back later, then called the Yard. I A Yard spokesman said the man j was "at once ' questioned hy offi-1 cers as to how he came by the doc uments, which he had no authority to possess." The yard sent the man home but ordered him to keep in touch with police, the spokesman added. Other Yard men sped to Bristol. They want to learn how the draw ings got out of the plant and what can be done to tighten up. The Yard said no decision had yet been made on any charge, the man in the mystery was not named.
