...addition to his major problems with India, Pakistan's President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto last week also faced a challenge of sorts from Bombay's Cricket Club of India. The Indian members of the exclusive club were clean bowled recently to discover that Bhutto, who grew up in Bombay, still holds a life membership in the C.C.I. The club has scheduled a special meeting to resolve the situation. One faction wants to expel him: Bhutto in his prime may have been a rather good opening bat, but, dash it, did he not let the side down by declaring...

In an important concession to his chief rival, Pathan Community Leader Khan Abdul Wali Khan, Bhutto announced that he would restore Pakistan to democratic government next August. "The curse of martial law will be buried forever, God willing," he pledged in a radio address...
...focus for the historic nationalism of the warlike Pathan and Baluch tribesmen. Russian-supplied automatic rifles are being smuggled across the frontier from Afghanistan, evidently destined for the 6,000-strong Zalme Pakhtoon (Pathan Youth). A bloody riot erupted in Quetta, a city in Baluchistan, after Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto appointed governors for the two provinces from his own party, despite the fact that the National Awami Party holds majorities in the provincial assemblies...
