...cordiality toward the Communist Chinese brought Ayub another diplomatic gain last week, at the expense of India, whose military threat to Pakistan, he insisted, "is increasing day by day." In Karachi, Chinese Foreign Minister Chen Yi signed a pact delineating a 300-mile Himalayan border between China and Pakistan, thus implying Peking recognition of Pakistan's suzerainty (disputed by India) over the part of Kashmir it actually controls...

Most legal groups in Pakistan have come out for Miss Jinnah, and were denounced by Ayub as "mischiefmongers." In reply, the Karachi Bar Association overwhelmingly adopted a resolution urging "the party in power to get rid of the notion that wisdom, righteousness and patriotism are the monopoly of their yes men."
