INDIAN TROOPS IN KASHMIR CHECK PAKISTAN FORCES
(Rec. 11.30 a.m.) NEW DELHI, August 23. Indian troops in Kashmir checked the advance by pro-Pakistan forces in the area of Uri on the main road leading from Pakistan to Srinagar, says the Associated Press, quoting communiques. India claims that Pakistan has thrown in a division of regular Pakistan troops to reinforce the guerrillas and Pathan tribesmen. Peshawar Pathan tribal chiefs telegraphed an appeal to King George to intervene in the India-Hyderabad dispute, declaring that if Hyderabad were attacked the consequent spread of hostilities would involve all Central India.
