Note To Britain Officially Denied

Washington, Jan. 4.

The United States on Thursday expressed concern over the continuation of the dispute be- tween India and Pakistan over the princely state of Kashmir which lies next to Tibet, recently in- vaded by the Chinese Communists.

State Department spokesman Michael McDer- mott said the United States is in "constant con- sultation, with the governments of the United Kingdom, India and Pakistan in our efforts to work for a solution of this issue."

Mr McDermott denied a re- port, published here on Thurs- day, that the United States had sent a formal Note to Britain urging that the Kashmir dispute be considered by the Prime Ministers of the Commonwealth A three-men mission left the countries meeting now in Lon- don.

Washington, Jan, 4. Representative Pau Shafer (Republican) said in a state- ment today that the United States must contain Communism by sea and air and avoid land wars with Russia,

Mr Shafer-endorsed Mr Her- bert Hoover's proposal to send no more American aid overseas until the European nations arm themselves.

"This third world war, which is so close upon us, cannot be, from our viewpoint, a war for the survival of any particular nation other than our own,” said Mr Shafer.

He added that the United States could help nations of Western Europe to arm, but "we cannot do all their fighting for them."

He said also that Mr. John Foster Dulles "and other ad- ministration apologists" said the United States must have Euro- pean and Asian bases to retain control of the sea and air. Mr. Shafer added: "We have ade- quate bases in the Philippines, Formosa and the isles of the Western Pacific. Spain can be made available to us."-United Press.
