NEW DELHI, India (UPI) -
Authorities in India's most
densely populated state,
Uttar Pradesh, have ordered
police to shoot looters and
rioters on sight in the city of
Moradabad to halt six days
of Moslem-Hindu violence,
which continued unabated
Monday with snipers firing
from rooftops.

The religious violence that
has already killed 164 spread
to the far northern state of
Kashmir and the national
Hinjustan Times reported
“The local administration (in
Moradabad) is of the view
the situation is one of war
against the state.”

“Police constables are so
demoralized that they are
reluctant to accompany
semor officers rushing to
trouble spots,’ the
newspaper said.

makers without charges for
up to six months.

Edmund Muskie, who ac-
cused Reagan of advocating
a new arms race, the former
California governor said
there already is an arms race

“but only the Soviets are

Reagan's 40-minute ad-

dress was interrupted more

delegates.
_ The VFW and its Ladies
Auxiliary endorsed Reagan
at its convention last year in
New Orleans. He was the
first presidential candidate
to receive the organization's
support in 80 years.

The former California
governor was highly critical
of the administration’s
policies toward the nation’s
veterans.

Reagan called it a Carter
“preach of faith” that
compensation for veterans
with service-connected disa-
bilities has not kept up with
inflation.

He said it was the “height
of hypocrisy” to praise
Vietnam veterans and then
