The three, comanding a force of close to 2,000 soldiers, had attempted to oust the King from power Saturday, attacking the Shirat palace during Hussan's forty-second birthday party. Sporadic firing was still heard in the Moroccan capital of Ra- bat early yesterday, and a few isolated snipers were believed holding out in some downtown areas. The rest of the country was reported relatively calm.

WASHINGTON l/P) - A World Bank mission in a secret report paints a picture of East Paki- stanis living in terror of Presi- dent Yahya Kahn's army and stalked by the specter of starva- tion. The report, circulated to mem- bers of the bank's directorate and their alternates, was made available to The Associated Press by qualified authorities, "As it saw the situation at the time of its visit - the first half of June - the obstacles in the way of normalization appeared overwhelming," the mission said in its, report. In particular it cited near-de- struction of East Pakistan's transportation system, failure of local administrators to grasp the complex problems of economic recovery and an "all-pervasive fear" which was said to be "the major inhibiting factor" Projecting a situation loaded with chaos and instability, the World Bank mission listed four main results of the conflict: "The first is the general de- struction of property in cities. towns and villages. This was in- flicted in small part-and selec- tively - by the insurgents dur- ing the period in which they re- mained in control of certain areas but was largely the result of mili- tary activity in the major cities and towns and along the major road arteries between them. "The second is the major dam- age to the transport and com- munications networks inflicted by the insurgents during the early days of the conflict. "The third is the loss of ves- sels and vehicles to the econ- amy.. "The fourth is the general at- mosphere of fear and uncertain- ty which persists as peace has not yet returned to the province," This represented the first au- thoritative assessment of con- ditions inside East Pakistan by a group of independent, neutral out- siders. Yet, striving hard to make no political judgment the mission stressed that any return toward' normality will hinge on the re- moval of what it called "two formidable constraints:" -The general sense of fear and lack of confidence on the part of most of the population." This has been expressed by a failure, or refusal of workers and civil servants to report for duty. As a result, in some areas commerce, industry, agriculture and administration appear to be breaking down. And only negative incentives seem likely to re- verse the flight of fearful towns- folk into the rural areas. In this context the report cited the dan- ger that " a general failure to solve the food problem, resulting in widespread starvation" might force people back into the towns and cities in droves. -The complete dislocation of the communications system." This has been manifested by an almost total standstill of people and of goods except inside the towns. "So long as it continues this situation will exert a strong negative effect upon all efforts to revive the economy and to meet the basic needs of the pop- ulation, including in particular, their food requirements," the re- port said.
