Indian Pinter Renews Attack On Propogd Pact 1

By ZAMIB IIDDIQI

KARACHI. (AP)-Prime Minister All announced Monday that Pakis- tan has formally requested U. 5. military aid under terms of Ameri- can mutual security law.

This is the long-discussed pro- gram that could entail establish- ment of U. S. Military bases in Pakistan and which has been bit- teriy opposed by Indian Prime Minister Nehru. He has argued it would top the balance of power between India and Pakistan.

Simultaneously in New Delhi, Nehru renewed his attack on the proposed Pakistan-U. S. pact. de- claring: "We do not want to enter- into this cirt-Je of hatred. violence, and fear that is the cold war- and we do not want others to do so, either."

Mohammad Ali, former Pakistan high commissioner to Canada and ambassador to Washlnsloll. em- phasized his country had asked for the military aid "for the purpose of achieving increased defensive strength, a higher and stronger de- . gree of economic stability designed to foster international peace and security within the framework of the United Nations charter."
