JULY 16, 1971 SHIPPING AGENT IS TARGET OF PAKISTAN ARMS PROTEST Thirteen demonstrators-only one of them from Pakistan-marched in front of a downtown office building here yesterday to protest an alleged shipment of military cargo to Pakistan. All of the marchers carried signs during the peaceful 45 minute demonstration in front of the Keyser Building at Calvert and Redwood streets. Two of the leaders later talked with a representative of the East West Shipping Agencies, whose offices are located in the building. The agency is handling arrangements for the scheduled arrival tomorrow afternoon of the Pakistani freighter Padma at the Port Covington Terminal on McComas street. Bound For Karachi The Pakistani freighter, which is ultimately bound for Karachi, has been the object of controversy over the past few weeks. The United Slates reportedly has decided not to grant licenses for arms shipments to Pakistan but will allow previously approved shipments to be made. The Pakistan government has suppressed a revolt by East Pakistani' separatists but guerrilla actions are continuing. Bin Moyer, a spokesman for the protesters, claims that the Padma was loaded with eight Sabre jets, aircraft parts and accessories, spare vehicle parts and 2,000 rounds of ammunition. Spoke With Manager Jack Patterson, of the American Friends Service Committees and Diana Schramm left the march to talk with Walter Spieker manager of East-West Shipping Agencies about the Padma. Mrs. Schramm explained to Mr. Spieker that her organization, the Friends of East Bengal, had many conflicting reports as to the location of the ship and the nature of its Cargo. Mr. Spieker said that "nobody called us" and promptly advised them of tomorrow's arrival. "The Padma is now at sea, somewhere between Montreal, the last port of can, and Baltimore," Mr. Spieker continued. "All I know is what happens at the dock here is no military cargo scheduled to go on board the Padma."
