Peace T alk Hopes
Get Double Jolt
By LOREN JENKINS
PARIS (UPD—Hopes that the
expanded Paris talks on Viet
nam would develop into full
scale peace negotiations re
ceived a double jolt today.
There was growing doubt they
could begin Wednesday as
scheduled.
The first blow came from a
five-foot woman Communist
guerilla who led the Viet Cong
delegation into Paris today and
promptly stated the Vietnam
War could be settled only on
Viet Cong terms.
The second blow came in
Saigon when President Nguyen
Van Thieu reaffirmed his
refusal to enter peace talks
which include the National
Liberation Front, political arm
of the Viet Cong, and said
“nobody can force us to do
that.”
For the first time the
American delegation was admit
ting that Thleu’s adamant stand
could change U.S. plans for the
meeting. The rift could even
grow wider—South Vietnam
called a major demonstration
instated when a student is under
22, unmarried and enrolled in an
accredited school as a full-time
student. You will need to get in
touch with the Social Security of
fice to reinstate your benefits.
If you have a question about
social security or Medicare, wr

for Tuesday to “stress the
nation’s self-determination in
political affairs.”
Woode n barricades were
placed around the U.S. Embas
sy in Saigon and American
soldiers were ordered to stay
out of downtown Saigon as a
precaution against anti-Ameri
can outbreaks.
The Viet Cong delegation to
Paris was led by Mrs. Nguyen
Thi Binh whose first words on
arrival was a threat to continue
the guerrilla' war until the
United States pulls out of South
Vietnam.
“Long live Ho” (Ho Chi Minh,
president of North Vietnam),
shouted the crowd that wel
comed Mrs. Binh and the other
delegates of the Viet Cong’s
political branch, the National
Cameramen knocked down her
bodyguards and Le Bourget
airport police in a surge to
photograph the grim, short
brunette who spoke for the
guerrillas attacking the South
Vietnam government.
The Saigon schoolgirl turned
guerrilla accepted a hug and a
kiss from North Vietnam chief
delegate Xuan Thuy and Soviet
Ambassador to France Valerian
A. Zorin. Then she read a
prepared statement demanding
the United States stop support
ing the Saigon government and
acknowledge the Viet Cong as
masters of South Vietnam.
Mrs. Binh said she would turn
up for Wednesday’s scheduled
opening round of the expanded
Vietnam talks. North Vietnam
and the United States plus
South Vietnam were scheduled
to take part. But South Vietnam
has announced it will boycott
the talks unless North Vietnam
de-escalates the war and unless
Mrs. Binh’s group is included
Inside the Hanoi delegation and
not seated as an independent
party.
Diplomatic sources said the
South Vietnam boycott may
delay the start of the expanded
talks.
For the first time the U.S.
delegation today indicated its
plans were being affected by
the Saigon government boycott
of the talks.
“We’re not aware of any
change from Wednesday. But
that doesn’t rule out the
possibility of a change,” said
Mark Sheehan, deputy news
secretary of the U.S. delegation.
The Communists scored the
Saigon boycott. Hanoi’s newspa
per Nhan Dan, in an editorial
broadcast from the North
Vietnamese capital, said Sai
gon’s boycott was “ridiculous.
No acts or deeds by the puppet
clique (Saigon regime) to give a
pretense of opposition to their
master can deceive anybody.
Sooner or later, the puppet
clique will be shut by their
American bosses in a ready
made cage.”
