Moscow, Apr. 8.
Marshal Nikolai Bulganin and Mr Nikita Khrushchev declared today that there were 'some forces” in England which "do not want to permit wider contacts between Soviet leaders and the British people."
In a statement to the official Soviet news agency Tass, foreign-owned plantations, they said they had been unable to accept invitations by "hospit- able British citizens" on their forthcoming visit to Britain be- cause the programme set out by the British government did not permit it.

US TO MAKE IMPORTANT
AID OFFER TO THE
BAGHDAD PACT COUNTRIES
By DAVID SHEARS
Washington, Apr. 8.
The United States will shortly offer economic and technical aid to the Baghdad pact countries for regional development schemes, authorita- tive sources said here today.
Mr Loy Henderson, deputy Under-Secretary of State, will make this proposal at the pact's meeting in Teheran which starts on April 16.
Officials here said this decision had been taken within the last, two or three weeks and represented new evidence of the United States desire to support the "northern tier" pact to the fullest extent short of actual membership.
Up to now, United States aid to Middle East countries has been on a bilateral basia and could thus support only national schemes within each country's borders.
The new ald offer to the Baghdad pact group as a whole-its members are Britain, Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Pakistan- would provide support for regional projects, such ILS schemes, which straddle national frontiers, but officiale stressed that the ΠΟ more decision was than one in principle at present-Reuter.
