He has served for eleven years in Kashmir as the U.N.'s chief observer, and he accused Pakistan of "numerous and widespread" violations...

They have strongly opposed American Motors' efforts to impose work standards similar to those in other auto plants, have been particularly unhappy about a recent rash of short work weeks. American's easygoing work standards, which help make labor costs per Rambler higher than for competitors' cars, are a hangover from the days of George Romney...
