UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., Nov. 13—Peking's chief delegate to the United Nations, Chiao Kuan‐hua, and his deputy, Huang Hua, today discussed the Indian‐Pakistani dispute and United Nations matters for an hour and 30 minutes with Agha Shahi, the delegate of Pakistan.

According to informed sources the Chinese delegates discussed the situation in the light of the statement made by Secretary of State William P. Rogers in Washington yesterday. Mr. Rogers expressed fear that the border clashes might lead to all‐out war.

Pakistani officials are known to feel that Peking's entry into the United Nations as a permanent member of the Security Council has greatly strengthened their country's position in the dispute with India.

The Pakistanis hope that the Chinese would strongly support them if the issue were brought before the Council. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Pakistan's Foreign Minister, visited Peking recently and is believed to have received assurance of such support. The Soviet Union, by contrast, is thought to be leaning toward India.

Sultan Mohammad Khan, the Pakistani Foreign Secretary, declared here yesterday that Pakistan had no plans at this time to ask the Council to act but he charged that India was stepping up her military incursions‐across the border, and he added that an appeal to the Council was “under constant consideration.”

Mr. Chiao and Mr. Huang drove to Mr. Shahi's residence on East 92d Street in the early afternoon.

Press Officer Chosen

In another development, sources close to the Chinese delegation reported that Kao Liang had been chosen to stay on as press officer for the‐delegation after he has completed his administrative duties as head of the advance party.

Mr. Kao represented Hsinhua, the Peking press agency, in a number of areas in Asia and Africa before the Cultural Revolution. He has been accessible and relaxed in dealings with American reporters since his arrival Monday.

Today, in an impromptu news conference in the red-carpeted lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel, where the delegation is staying, Mr. Kao expressed amusement and mild surprise that such things as the menu of the Chinese delegates should be considered news by the American press.

He said that Mr. Chiao and the other leading members of the delegation would use the weekend to complete their courtesy calls on the envoys from countries that campaigned actively for Peking's admission to the United Nations. Although the visit to the Pakistani mission was a courtesy call, it was regarded as being of particular significance.

He said that the delegates would spend most of their time over the weekend resting and working in their rooms on the 14th floor. There will be no sightseeing tours, he said.

Mr. Chiao and Mr. Huang will call on Secretary General Thant at Leroy Hospital tomorrow morning. Mr. Thant has been at the hospital since Nov. 2, and is undergoing treatment for a bleeding ulcer. He is expected to resume his duties in a few days.

Mr. Huang, who has been appointed the permanent Chinese representative at the United Nations in addition to being deputy head of the Chinese delegation to the current General Assembly, may choose tomorrow's visit to give Mr. Thant his letter of credentials.

But there is no compelling need for him to do so at this time since, like Mr. Chiao, he already is accredited as delegate to the Assembly and thus is free to function in that capacity until Mr. Thant returns to his office. Only permanent representatives must submit credentials to the Secretary General.

Diplomats at the United Nations have been struck by the low‐key approach of Mr. Chiao and his colleagues to their new duties.

It was noted that Mr. Chiao has been stressing two themes that have not been prominent in Chinese foreign policy statements for many years—the five principles of peaceful coexistence and the “Bandung spirit,” which goes back to the conference of 29 African and Asian countries in Bandung, Indonesia, in April, 1955.

The five principles of peaceful coexistence first emerged in a statement by Premier Chou En‐lai in New Delhi in 1954, a year before the Bandung conference. They were elaborated at the conference, at which Mr. Chou was one of the dominant figures.

Specialists in Chinese affairs pointed out that Mr. Chiao was at Mr. Chou's side on both these occasions. They also said that final agreement on the definition of the principles of coexistence were regarded by the Chinese at that time as a personal triumph for Mr. Chou, who had played a moderating role in countless behind‐the-scenes consultations among individual delegates.
