Pakistan, Oct. 4 - (AP)-Pakistan announced to- night that her northern border had been invaded by a large force of Afghanistan tribesmen and regular troops. Both countries have engaged in a ”little cold war" for more than two years over Pathanland, along stretch of barren hills extending from Pamirs to Baluchistan. A Defence Ministry communique issued tonight said that on last Saturday a. large Lashkar (army) made up of Afghan tribesmen and Afghan regular troops had cross- ed the Pakistan - Afghanistan border in the Dobandl area about 30 miles northeast of Chaman. This puts the invasion point about 460 airline miles directly north of Karachi, the Pakistan capital. The communique said the main objective of the invasion force was to seize the strategic Quetta-Chaman railway in the Khojak area. Quetta. the chief town in Baluchistan, has a popu- lation of about 36,000. It is 380 miles north of Karachi. The communique said the Afghans occupied Bogra Pass on the border under leadership of Brig. Ghaffor Khan, former com- mander of Afghan troops in the area opposite Chaman.

Forces Crossing 38th Parallel (By Francis W. Carpenter) LAKE SUCCESS, N. IL, Oct. 4- (AP)-The United Nations poli- tical committee overwhelmingly approved today an eight-power plan for uniting and rebuilding Korea under a stronger U. N. commission. The committee vote was 47 to 5 (Soviet bloc) after the Eastern leaders had rejected eitoris for .1 compromise with an opposing Russian-bloc plan. The committee thus gave tacit approval for 12 N. forces to cross the 38th parallel dividing North and South Korea to put down North Korean aggression. The vote came after paragraph- hy-paragraph votes in the commit- tee. The committee then turned to the Soviet-bloc proposal. with the Russians demanding a roll-call vole by paragraphs on a long rc- solution.
