By STEWART HENSLEY
SAIGON (UPl)—Secretary of
State William P. Rogers came
to Saigon today seeking new
avenues toward peace, assuring
South Vietnam that U.S.
support would not fail and
calling the current Communist
• attacks “senseless.”
The wave of guerrilla shell
ings moved into Its fourth day
as Rogers stepped off the plane
• into bright Saigon sunlight. He
called the attacks “senseless
killings of civilians” which
“cast somewhat of a cloud over
• tthe Communists’) intentions”
at the peace talks.
In an airport news confer
ence, he assured South Vietham
• that the United States would
stand fast in its basic objective
— 'The establishment of condi
tions which assure that the
, people of South Vietnam can
determine their own future
unconditionally.”
This means, Rogers said,
t “That the decision must not be
Imposed, in whole or in part, by
outside forces. It must be made
by a process which permits the
people of South Vietnam their
own choice.”

Lodge To Consult
With Nixon Today
By GEORGE SIBERA
PARIS (UPD—Chief U.S.
negotiator Henry Cabot Lodge
flew to Washington today for
consultations with President
Nixon. Diplomatic reports cir
culated that the Vietnam peace
conference was on the verge of
a dramatic breakthrough.
In Saigon, Secretary of State
William P. Rogers said he was
planning to discuss' with Pres
ident Nguyen Van Thieu the
possibility of new moves to end
the war. U.S. Ambassador
Ellsworth Bunker spent an hour
with Thieu, their third meeting
in as many days.
Lodge left Paris in a special
U.S. Air Force plane to give
Nixon a late briefing on the
Paris talks before Nixon
reported to the nation on
Vietnam peace prospects to
night.
“I was summoned by the
President for consultations,”
Lodge said. “But, of course, I
cannot scoop the President
before he makes his address
tonight.”
Lodge left as diplomatic
circles buzzed with reports that
Nixon's address would permit
the Communist and Allied sides
to fine compjpn ground and
break the deadlock that has
bound the talks since Feb. 5.
Rogers arrived in Saigon for
four days of conferences with
South Vietnamese and U.S.
officials before going to Thai
land for talks with Allies
involved in the war.
“The President has directed
me to explore in depth with
President Thieu how we and
our allies can most effectively
move forward from the present
position further in the direction
of peace,” Rogers said.
Rogers was met at Tan Son
Nhut Airport by Bunker and the
U.S. military commander in
Vietnam, Gen, Creighton W.
Abrams, who arrived himself
only today from consultations
with Nixon.
The next session of the Paris
talks will be Friday because the
usual day, Thursday, is a
French holiday.

N. Carolina
Ponders Hike
In Gas Tax
RALEIGH, N. C. (UPI)—
Motorists will find the going a
little more expensive in North
Carolina than in neighboring
states if the legislature increas
es the tax on gasoline.
Gov. Bob Scott’s proposal to
hike the present rate from sev
en to nine cents a gallon was to
go before a House roll call vote
today.
There appears to be no move
in Virginia to increase the
present seven cents a gallon.
The same holds true for Ten
nessee which has had a seven
cents tax for the past four
years.
The Georgia legislature raised
their 6.5 cents tax to eight this
year but Gov. Lester Maddox
vetoed the measure.
There is a possibility that Al
abama will raise its gasoline
tax by one or two pennies to
finance a medicaid program.
The present seven cents has
been in effect for the past four
years.
Mississippi Gov. John Bell
Williams is pushing for a one
cent hike in the current seven
cents rate to finance a highway
improvement program. The
Mississippi legislature turned
down a 1.5 increase last year.
