UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Monday, Dec. 13—The United States urged the Security Council last night to call upon India to accept forthwith a cease‐fire and a mutual withdrawal in the Indian‐Pakistani war.

But George Bush, the United States representative, withdrew his demand for an immediate vote on an American draft resolution shortly after midnight after the Soviet, Polish and French delegates had declared that they needed time to get instructions form their governments.

The emergency meeting, which had been called at the urgent request of the United States, was adjourned at 12:45 A.M. until 10:30 A.M. today.

Mr. Bush consented to the adjournment after the delegate of Somalia, Abdulrahim A. Farah, had noted that the Indian Foreign Minister, Swaran Singh, had given a “qualified commitment” of withdrawal in his statement to the Council.

Mr. Swaran Singh said that India would withdraw her forces if Pakistani troops were pulled out of East Pakistan and if Pakistan entered into a peace settlement with the representatives of Bangla Desh, or Bengal Nation, the name given by the insurgents to East Pakistan.

Earlier, at the start of the session, Mr. Bush castigated India for having intervened militarily in East Pakistan and placed in jeopardy “the territorial integrity and political independence of its neighbor, Pakistan.”

He said that the question now arose of India's further intentions.

“For example, does India intend to use the present situation to destroy the Pakistani Army in the West?” he asked. “Does India intend to annex territory in West Pakistan? Is its aim to take parts of Pakistan‐controlled Kashmir?”

“If this is not India's intention, then a prompt disavowal is required,” he went an. “The world has a right to know.”

Mr. Swaran Singh, who was the next to speak, gave a “solemn assurance” that India had no designs on Pakistani territory and did not seek the destruction of West Pakistan.

“India would be willing to discuss any cease‐fire or withdrawal which would insure the freedom and aspirations of the people of Bangle, Desh and which would insure the revocation of Pakistani troops from Indian territory,” he said.

This was taken to mean that India would accept a cease‐fire and withdrawal if she was certain that the representatives of Bangla Desh were allowed to take part in any political settlement.

Mr. Swaran Singh, who spoke for an hour and a half from a prepared text, repeated earlier Indian demands that the Council invite a representative of Bangla Desh to testify.

Pakistan's Case Stated

Over and over, the bearded, turbaned Indian leader stated that the root cause of the conflict lay in the “brutal repression” of the population of East Pakistan by the Pakistani military government and the forced flight of 10 million East Pakistani refugees to India.

Pakistan's Foreign Minister, Zulfikar All Bhutto, addressing the Council after Mr. Swaran Singh, said that the basic issue at present was “the unity of Pakistan.”

“Pakistan was not created by force,” he said. “It is an independent sovereign state. That's what I have been telling our Indian friends.”

Mr. Bhutto, an eloquent and fiery man whose mobile face contrasted with the impassive features of Mr. Swaran Singh, spoke extemporaneously for more than two hours.

He said that the dismemberment of Pakistan would open a “Pandora's box” and that no other nation in the world would be safe.

The “real trouble,” he added, was that the Soviet Union had given India all‐out support and had sent her military equipment. “They come in with their tanks and planes and take over my country,” he said of the Indians.

Mr. Bush strongly criticized India for having failed to accept a resolution adopted by the General Assembly last Tues. day calling for a cease‐fire and the withdrawal of Indian and Pakistani troops to their own side of the border. Pakistan, by contrast, was willing to carry out that resolution, he said.

Mrs. Gandhi Sends Message

He submitted a draft resolution closely resembling that adopted by the Assembly.

The Indian Prime Minister, Mrs. Indira Gandhi, said in a message to Secretary General Thant last night that her Government was prepared to consider the General Assembly's resolution “if the rulers of West. Pakistan would withdraw their own forces from Bangla Desh and reach a peaceful settlement with those who were until recently their fellow citizens.”

Foreign Minister Solomon A. J. Pratt of Sierra Leone, the Council president, opened the meeting at 7:20 P.M.

He invited Mr. Swaran Singh and Mr. Bhutto to sit at the circular Council table.

Mr. Pratt, who arrived here last week, took the place of the chief delegate from Sierra Leone, Ismael B. Taylor‐Kamara. He was able to do so because the presidency, which chances monthly, rests with a delegation and not with a man.

The start of the meeting was delayed for several hours while Mr. Taylor‐Kamara conducted consultations with Council members.

Informed sources said that these consultations indicated that the American resolution would be vetoed by the Soviet Union. The Russians vetoed two similar resolutions during the first emergency session last Saturday and Sunday.

White House Statement

The Soviet Union was said to be holding out for the Indian demand that a representative of Bangla Desh be heard formally by the Council before any decision was made.

Many diplomats were at a loss to understand why the United States had called the meeting despite indications that the Soviet Union would again use its veto. Mr. Bush said: “We are here because we felt there was inaction. The world is waiting. Let us dispose of our resolution one way or another.”

Britain, France and others would have preferred to wait until unanimous action by the Council appeared possible.

It was in deference to the views of these delegations and after charges from the Soviet delegate, Yakov A. Malik, that he was trying to provoke another veto, that Mr. Bush ceased pressing for an immediate vote.

Mr. Malik told the Council that he needed new instructions from Moscow. “You can pick up the phone,” he told Mr. Bush. “It tried to call Moscow but I did not get through.”

A White House statement announcing the United States request for a meeting, issued shortly before noon, said that “with East Pakistan virtually occupied by Indian troops, a continuation of the war would take on increasingly the character of armed attack on the very existence of a member state of the United Nations.”

Mr. Taylor‐Samara issued the call for the meeting in the early afternoon and by 5 P.M. the chief delegates of all 15 members were present in the big carpeted lounge adjoining the Council chamber.

Mr. Taylor‐Kamara, as is customary, called the five permanent members of the Council —the United States, the Soviet Union, China, Britain and France—into private consultations in his office. Then he held a separate meeting with the 10 non-permanent members.

During this meeting the Belgian delegate, Michel Van Ussel, proposed that the Council should not attempt to take immediate action but should adjourn for further consultation after being addressed by representatives of the United States, India and Pakistan.

The purpose of the Belgian proposal was to prevent a repetition of the Council's stalemate. The proposal had the backing of all but one of the 10 non-permanent members, according to informed sources. The dissenter was Poland, which, like the Soviet Union and India, would have preferred no meeting at all, the sources said.
