Next day, at the opening of the fourth annual SEATO Council, a spatter of trouble briefly threatened to mar the shining anti-Communist surface of the eight-nation South East Asia Treaty Organization.* Pakistan's Mozaffar Ali Khan Qizil-bash briskly demanded more U.S. aid, implied that his country might turn to the Soviet Union if its demands were not met.
