The spokesman had ac-

Friday night.
He said the Pakistanis

Dead are:

"They are the type of children who real-

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla.
(AP) — President Nixon
arranged to meet today
with the foreign minister
of Pakistan, the first Paki-
stani or Indian official he

ago.
Deputy press secretary
Gerald Warren said the of-
ficial, Zulfikar All Bhutto,
had requested the meeting
and the President agreed
to see him at the White
House this afternoon.
Warren said he did not
know why Bhutto had
sought the meeting, but it
was reported earlier by
Radio Pakistan that Presi-
dent A g h a Mohammed
Yahya Khan had sum-
mond Bhutto home so a
new representative govern-
ment can be formed.

Their Phanton F4 super- officers jumped from the
Phantom as it spun at
1,600 miles per hour in the
vicinity of the Mu Gia

of the demilitarized zone.
The fliers used their
pocket radios to contact a
command plane flying in
the region and about 20
search planes and jet
fighters were dispatched
to the area. But low cloud
cover prevented a rescue
attempt before dawn.
When the pickup was

sile. Fighter bombers

area with cannon and
