| NEW YORK, Sept. 1l.-Hundreds
Of migratory songbirds Of many
species were killed today when they
struck the worlds tallest building

conditions were blamed by experts.
In Philadelphia, hundreds of
other birds met . similar fate when
they crashed into tail buildings.

mostly warblers,- plunged to the
streets in early morning darkness
Their piercing cries echoed loudly
as they fell
In New York, several live birds
were retrieved by employees of the
Bronx Zoo and the American So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty
TO Animals. They will be released
when they recover.
A Bronx Zoo spokesman said that
80 birdS-seven of them alive+

A National Audubon Society
spokesman gave this explanation:
) Birds follow the coastline in their
migration South, flying ON favorable
winds. Both New York and Phila-
delphia are In the center of the
Eastern fiyways.
After leaving New York, birds
follow the New Jersey Coast to
Cape May. There, to avoid the long
hop across Delaware Bay they
swing north along the Delaware
River to the vicinity of Philadelphia
before resuming their landward
flight South.
Last night the wind shifted from
southwest to northwest as the

OutgrOwths of Partition.
The KaShmir and Hyderabad
problems have been plaguing India
almost from the day Britain granted
the huge subcontinent independ-
ence.
Both are outgrowths of the par
tition August IA, l947, into the do
minlons of India and Pakistan, one
Hindu and the other Mosem. The
problems are q continuation Of the
old conflict between Moslem and
Hindu.
kashmir's people are predomi-
nantly Moslem, but its Hindu ruler
has acceded to India.
Pakistan claims that the Maha-
rajah of kashmir Joined India
against the wishes of his people.
India claims that the Nizam of Hy-
derabad's refusal to accede is fiout-
ing the will of his people.
Pakistan says the government Of
Kashmir, re-established under the
sponsorship Of New Delhi, is COM
pletely pro-India. India says Hy-
derabad's government Is under
domination of a Moslem minority
which controls the army and police.
Pakistan Troops Invaded.
nolx;,+o, ,l,,,;&tal Lost ,,,on{l,
what India has long cnarged-that
Pakistan troops were fighting in
Kashmir. The admission changed
the complexion of the struggle from
a mere battle against forces of the
so-called free Kashmir government
to an undeclared war between the
dominionS.
| India says her aim Is to clear
Kashmir of Moslem raiders" and
maintain order while plebiscite is
held on whether KaShmir should
join India Or PakiStan.
| But PakiStan says there is no
chance of free expression at the
polls while Indian troops are pres
ent. The Moslem dominion asks
also that the free Kashmir gov
ernment be given representation in
the administration of Kashmir.
Thus the United Nations Com
mission for India and PakiStan faces
tough problem. India agreed to
the commissions terms for cease
fire order but Pakistan suggested
conditions for its application.
Hyderabad Asks U. N. Probe
Hyderabad has asked the United
Nations to look into her dispute
with India, but there is little like
lihood of any action unless Hydera
bad gets a sponsoring member ma
ton to make such a request.
Pakistan could make such re-
quest, but has made no move as
yet in that direction. The Pakistan
foreign minister, Sir Mohammed
Zafrullah Khan, has charged that
Inuia is threatening Hyderabad with
open aggression.
