DISPUTE ABOUT KASHMIR

SERIOUS TASK FOR U.N. COMMISSION “INDIA SHOWS NO DESIRE FOR COMPROMISE” (N.Z .P. A.—Reuter—Copyright) (Rec. 7 p.m.) NEW DELHI, July 18. "After one week’s consultation between the United Nations Commission on Kashmir and Indian spokesmen, it is clear that India’s case now is that an undeclared war exists between India and Pakistan,” says the NewDelhi correspondent of “The Times.” "The commission thus faces a more serious task than it originally envisaged. It must not only mediate in the dispute on a points principle, but find a means of preventing the conflict spreading beyond Kashmir,” says the correspondent. “India shows no desire to compromise and seeks the condemnation of Pakistan rather than a realistic solution. “Meanwhile the Hyderabad controversy with India grows more serious. Economic sanctions are being applied with increasing vigour. Hyberabad State is sealed off from trading with the rest of the country. The general stiffening of India’s attitude towards Hyderabad is reflected in a widespread spy fear with almost daily arrests.”

The English team to play in the fourth cricket test starting at Leeds on July 22 will be chosen from;— N. W. D. Yardley (Yorkshire), captain. L. Hutton (Yorkshire). W. J. Edrich (Middlesex). D. C. S. Compton (Middlesex). J. A. Young (Middlesex). K. Cranston (Lancashire). C. Washbrook (Lancashire). R. Pollard (Lancashire). J. E. Crapp (Gloucestershire). T. G. Evans (Kent). A. V. Bedser (Surrey). J. C. Laker (Surrey). Of those who played in the third test, G. Emmett and H. E. Dollerv have been dropped, as well as J. H. Wardle, who was twelfth man. A new man is K. Cranston, a Lancashire allrounder. Cranston played for England against South Africa in 1947 and also toured the West Indies. Hutton was passed over for the third test against. Australia. He played in the first two tests, and made a total of 110 in four innings. The correspondent of the Australian Associated Press with the Australian touring team writes: “The English team contains no surprises. Hutton, who is third in English county batting averages this season, returns to the team. His omission in the third test surprised the Australians as much as it concerned English critics. There is no question that he is second only to Compton as the finest stroke-maker in post-war English cricket. Cranston. who replaces Dollery. is Lancashire’s captain. He is a good mediumfast seam bowler, an excellent fieldsman. and a sound batsman.”
