OPINION IN KASHMIR SPLIT ON MEDIATION
Srinagar, May 3.
Sir Owen Dixon's arrival in Kashmir is awaited with mixed optimism and pessimism, but with universal sympathy.

All concerned 'agree that the Australian jurist will need God's help in solving the Kashmir ques-
tion.
United Nations officials are. hopeful, belleving that both India and Pakistan are so ex- hausted by the two-year stale- mate that they will be glad to accept any UN-sponsored eva- cuation plan and plebiscite.
United Nations observers say a solution was Impossible last year but is now desired by both Bides,
They claim a systematic pian for the simultaneous with drowal of Indian and Pakistani
been worked troops has
out whereby 60 military observerr can handle the withdrawal to the satisfaction of both sides.
Admiral Chester Nimitz has sald plans will be completed for the plebiscite once the armies leave. UN officials point to the Bengal ogreement as an example of In- dian-Pakistani accord which is needed in Kashmir.
They claim that the huge mill- tary experditures-more than 50 per cent of both countries' bud- Bets-have made them more willing to agice to proposals which were flatly rejected last your.
