DACCA, Pakistan, March 5 (Reuters)—Sheik Mujibur Rahman sent “peace patrols” to bring order to the cities of East Pakistan today.

Tensions eased here when the central Government's troops lifted a curfew that had previously been broken by bloody slashes between East Pakistan nationalists and troops.

Sheik Mujib, leader of the Awami League, which is calling for near‐autonomy for East Pakistan, accused the army of killing 300 persons in disorders here this week. [The Associated Press reported that one person Was shot dead and four were wounded today in a clash between security forces and workers at a telephone factory in a Dacca suburb.]

A nationwide address was scheduled for tomorrow by President Agha Mohammad Yahya Khan, who was expected to appeal to the nation to prevent a split between East and West Pakistan.

Speech Planned Sunday

Sheik Mujib will make a major speech Sunday in which he may declare the independence of East Pakistan as the state of Bengal, according to reports circulating here.

For the fourth day the province was paralyzed by a total strike, but the streets of Dacca were mainly peaceful with few army patrols.

Sheik Mujib's peace patrols toured the city to help maintain order and to prevent people from being attacked by demonstrators carrying spears and iron poles. A food shortage continued.

Although only a local party leader, Sheik Mujib ordered banks to open on a Moslem holiday to pay salaries to Government workers. Martial‐law curbs on press reporting were intensified, and the Pakistan was giving only the sketchiest report of events here.
