With Ayub's imposing victory, the government-controlled press began soft-pedaling the strident anti-Americanism that it had found a useful tool in the campaign. One top official, Ghulam Nabi Memon, blandly denied having made his widely published charge that the U.S. was financing the Jinnah campaign. After all, Ayub had now been elected to a five-year term, and he badly needed continued U.S. aid-which has totaled nearly $5 billion since...

Seventeen of Kashmir's leading Communist-line politicians last week resigned from Bakshi's National Conference party, making charges of governmental corruption and repression in Indian Kashmir. If they continued to howl, their charges might carry all the way to the U.N., even provoke questions as to why Bakshi had knowingly tolerated such proCommunists in his government for so long. Determined to avoid this if possible, Nehru chatted soothingly with the rebels, quietly...
