RAWALPINDI, Pakistan, Dec. 10—In his gloomiest assessment so far of the military situation in East Pakistan, the military command spokesman said tonight that Pakistani troops, outnumbered 6 to 1 and “overstressed on the ground,” were continuing resistance against an enemy who possessed “overwhelming air support.”

The spokesman declared that India enjoyed also “the full aid of a great power.” He declined to Identify the power, but cited heavy Soviet tanks used by the Indian forces.

The Pakistani troops, whose number at the beginning of the fighting was estimated at 70,000, were being pounded day and night by the Indian Air Force, the spokesman said.

The air force spokesman conceded that Pakistani troops were no longer receiving air support. Two days ago he said that air support would be resumed as soon as bomb damage at Dacca airfield had been repaired. Tonight he announced that the airfield was beyond repair and would have to be rebuilt.

Despite the deterioration in the situation, the spokesman for the command said that Pakistani soldiers in the cast continued to repulse enemy attacks in all areas.

The army spokesman declined to comment on whether the large population center of Jessore, whose capture the Indians announced earlier in the week over denials here, remained in Pakistani hands. He said that Pakistani troops still held the military camp, which controls all approaches to the city.

The spokesman said that seven Indian tanks supporting an attack in battalion strength on the outskirts of Jessore had been destroyed in heavy fighting. The battle was reported to be continuing.

Fourteen more Indian tanks were said to have been destroyed in the east in the last 24 hours. In the action centered in Kashmir along the West Pakistani border with India, the command reported continued heavy fighting with no significant changes in the situation.

Three hundred Indians were reported killed in an attack repulsed by Pakistani defenders in the Kargil area. One hundred more Indians were said to have been killed in the Sulaimanke sector further to the south.

In the region of Chhamb, where Pakistani forces were reported to have made their greatest territorial gains in the Indian‐held part of Kashmir, the spokesman reported heavy fighting. He said that Pakistani troops were consolidating their positions while enlarging their gains. Four Indian tanks were reported knocked out by ground fire and one plane shot down.

The air force spokesman said that Pakistani planes would not retaliate for raids on civilian targets, including that reported yesterday on an orphanage in Dacca. The spokesman, who earlier this week announced that any further raids on civilian targets would be met with instant retaliation, said tonight that he was “not convinced that the attacks on civilian populations were intentional.”

The command announced that in yesterday's attacks by, missile‐firing ships against three foreign vessels at anchor at Karachi, the wife and child of the captain of the Panama-registered freighter Gulf Star were killed. He said that the captain was Greek.

On a second ship hit during the attack, the command announced, seven seamen were killed and eight wounded. The ship was the Harmatton, a British freighter.

The air force said that nine more Indian planes had been shot down in the air or by ground fire, bringing the total announced to 119. Pakistan's total plane losses were put at eight.
