Nixon Suspends Hanoi Air Raids
BULLETIN
SAIGON (AP) - President Nixon has ordered U.S. bombing of North Vietnam suspended in the Hanoi-Halong area and greatly reduced in the southern panhandle while swaiting a political response from Hanoi, U.S. military sources disclosed
The suspension order applied to all tent locations is parallel of latitude 80 miles south of HOU.
"The President is deliberately holding off after Sunday's strikes in the Hanoi and Haiphong areas to see what North Vietnam is going to do," said one source. "The President has been out rul'd. It depends on what North Vietnam does."
PARIS (AP)—North Vietnam held out the possibility Monday of high-level secret talks to end the Vietnam war if the United States balls air attacks on North Vietnam.
A second and linked condition was that the United States agree to go back to the

Senate Group Votes to End War Funds
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted Monday afternoon to cut off all money for all U.S. forces fighting in Indochina on Dec. 31 if Hanoi returns all American prisoners.
The vote on the amendment of Sens. Clifford Case, 298th District, and Frank Church, D-104th District, passed 9 to 7. Fulbright, D-Airk, the committee chairman, left the meeting on the presidential news year.
The committee acted after hearing Secretary of State William P. Rogers describe the bombing of North Vietnam as an protection to the protection of American troops.
"The way to the bombing, to end the horrors of the war, is to end the war." Case
Coleman writes: "The real horror is not the death itself.
"It is a question of whether to do this now or ten years from now. This is the only way to see if Vietnamization will succeed, and how we can close that line with our power." Case said.
Church said the amendment to the State Department funding bill "really did not change," the Senate amendment," passed last year by the Senate and which called for U.S. withdrawal as a matter of policy." The State department is been disregarding that," Church said.
Supplies and money would still be available to the South Vietnamese, Case
"We are utilizing the power of the purse to bring about an orderly completion of the withdrawal of all forces from Indochina," Church said.
The key wording of the amendment is that no money "may be expended or obligated after Dec. 31, 1972, for the purpose of engaging U.S. forces, land, sea, or air, in hostilities in Indochina, subject to an agreement for the release of all prisoners of war held by the government of North Vietnam."
once-a-week peace talks which the U.S. South Vietnamese side broke off last
If these demands are met, it was announced, North Vietnamese Poliburo member Le Duc That will come to Paris to talk to the talks, presumably at the secret level.
Theohad met several times last year with President Nixon's national security adviser, Henry A. Kissinger, in secret Paris exchanges which failed to produce a settlement. Washington said Hani broke the talks with Kissinger, claiming Thao was
THE U.S. DELEGATION to the Vietnam conference withheld comment on the North Vietnamese proposal pending consultations with Washington.
The North Vietnamese package deal came out at a news conference held by Minister of State Xuan Thuy, who has been calling for the package since the talks began in January 1969.
His proposals were made public to culminate a flurry of secret exchanges through "a private channel" between the United States and North Vietnam. The United States was thought to be pressing for more American involvement or in connection with the regular sessions.
The exchanges were aimed at getting the talks going again after Nixon had indefinitely suspended them March 23 to September 18, when he called "riflebuster", by the North Vietnamese.
U. S. AMBASSADOR William J. Porter reported last Thursday that the United States wanted the talks resumed that day, but this was rejected. North Vietnam countered by saying it had proposed talks every Wednesday since the conference was held, and that the United States said "no." Neither side reported conditions it was laying down.
Xuan Thuy in answer to questions Monday revealed what Hanoi had in mind. Asked about the possibility of new secret laxity in its relations with Vietnam does not resume its work and on the other hand if the United States does not stop its escalation of the war and destruction against the Democratic Republic there is no basis for private meetings."
Pressed as to whether this meant that if the United States agrees to hold regular sessions of the talks and stops the bombing of North Vietnam, secret negotiations can then resume. Thuy responded: "That is correct."

Opposition Imperils Campus Traffic Plan
By RICHARD COOLEY Kansan Staff Writer
About 200 faculty and students who attended the hearing raised a storm of concern.
In view of vigorous opposition expressed at an open hearing on the KU Traffic and Planning Board's proposal to install parking meters on campus, re-route traffic and revamp parking zones, Robert Wilkinson, assistant director of KU library operations, the board said it was doubtful that the board had proceed with the plan in its present form.
MALNOWSKY, WHO conducted the meeting, said he would report the negative feelings expressed at the meeting to the other members of the board and said the intense opposition would probably end the plan in its present form.
Malinowski said that the Board technically would no longer exist after it finished work on the proposed plan and committee would have to appoint another, better
Keith Lawton, vice chancellor for facilities and operations, said that the purpose of the hearing was to gauge public acceptance of the proposal.
"Judging from the response here, the reaction is largely negative that the reaction is largely negative."
Most of the criticism centered on the proposed installation of parking meters at various locations on campus. Malnowski said the meters would facilitate parking for campus visitors and generate revenue for the traffic and parking department.
BUT OPPONENTS contended that the addition of parking meters would detract from the aesthetic beauty of the campus, and suggested that alternative solutions be examined before proceeding with the installation of meters.
George Coggins, associate professor of law and chairman of the local Sierra Club, interrupted Malinowsky's presentation and declared, "There is no way parking meters are not bad and there is no way more cars should come on campus."
Coggins termed the proposal "another example of wait until next year before we leave."
The secretive manner in which the proposal was formulated also drew considerable criticism, as did the lack of participation on the planning committee.

U.S. May Renew Attacks
SAIGON (AP)—An official U.S. source said Monday he expected renewed bombing of North Vietnam's heartland, including Hanoi and Haiphong, unless Communist-led forces called off their IRA general offensive in South Vietnam.
Moscow said Sunday's raids on the Hapagh港 dock area damaged four Soviet submarines.
The State Department did not concede that ships had been hit, but said "it was inadvertent and regrettable" if they were. It added, however, that "countries which supply offensive equipment to the North Vietnamese . . . share responsibility."

Rear Axle Defect Forces Recall of 2 Ford Models
DETROIT (AP)—Ford Motor Co. announced Monday it is recalling nearly 400,000 Ford Tortosins and Mercury Montegos—virtually the entire 1972 model-sized cars—to correct a defect when allow rear wheels to come off the car.
Gordon H. Robertson, service engineering manager of Ford's Customer Support Center, received reports of rear axle bearing deterioration caused by a variety of factors. In extreme cases, Robertson said, and lead to an axle shaft detached.
The spokesman said there have been no confirmed cases of personal injury, although one driver is claiming he suffered a whiplash when a wheel seperated.
A Ford spokesman said there have been five reported cases where Torinos or Montego lost rear wheels while driving causing damage to the cars.
Ford said it is sending certified letters to the owners of the cars, instructing them to take the vehicles to their dealers for installation of retainer plates which will
Affected by the recall are 323,000 Torinos in the United States, 18,000 Torinos in Canada, 73,000 Montegos in the United States and 9,000 Montoges in Canada. A number of the recalled cars represented "Essentially all" of the 1972 models built so far.
The bearings are covered by the normal 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty on new cars. If the bearings fail beyond those limits, "Ford will probably replace them free of charge as well," the spokesman said.
A Ford spokesman said the bearing failure was attributable to the design of the rear axle. The failure itself is caused by axle shaft deflections, vehicle weight distribution, bearing loads and such factors as salt contamination of the axle.
give an audible warning of bearing failure before it becomes critical.
He said in the event of a bearing failure, Ford will use premium bearings to replace the worn bearings. Changes on the assembly line, to be made this week, will involve repositioning the bearings and pad of the standard bearings currently being used, and a heavier axle, he said.

American officers in An Loc said the enemy still held 15 per cent of the encircled town, and a government made the part they control. A government division sent to relieve An Loc was diverted to meet elements of a North Army force. The troops on the march for attacks near Saigon.

Elsewhere in Cambodia, a 1,000-man Cambodian force was reported cut off in fighting near the ruins of Angkor Wat. In two days of fighting, government forces had lost 73 killed and wounded, the high rate of reported. No enemy casualties were given.
IN COMMENTING on Sunday's strikes and on the possibility of more attacks deep inside North Vietnam, the official U.S. source said: "The whole thing -Sunday's
raids—was political. The reason the Hanoi and Haiphong areas were hit was to put pressure on North Vietnam to relieve the pressure down here.
"I think that if the North continues the offensive in the South, Nixon will go back to Hanoi and Haiphong. He means business. He has no intention of demolishing the North, but he wants to let them know what he will do."
Until Sunday, the U.S. aerial campaign against the North which began April 6, had been limited to the southern part of North Carolina and the south of Haiti and its port city, Haiphong.
FURTHER EVIDENCE of possible political overreactions in the strikes came in the evaluation by knowledgeable sources of past aerial campaigns in the North. One source said nearly four years of sustained bombing all the way to the Red Chinese border failed to produce the desired losses of halting enemy resupply in the South.
He declined to estimate how big an aerial campaign it would take now to seriously affect Hanoi's current general offensive.
U. S. military sources said the thrust of Monday's air strikes had shifted back to enemy concentration and base areas in South Vietnam.
One such concentration was said to be a North Vietnamese division south of Da Nang which was hit Sunday, killing an estimated 200 to 300 enemy troops. Intelligence sources said it was unclear whether the division was newly infiltrated or just being deployed in independent units to help them into a single powerful striking force.
AFTER SUNDAY'S bombing, U.S. officials refused to say whether the Haiphong docks had been hit. Radio Hanoi said they had and reported one Soviet seaman was wounded. In its diplomatic protest, Moscow said it was afraid: "Numerous holes were caused, particularly in the living quarters of the crews."
"There were dead and wounded among the workers of the port who were performing unloading operations aboard the Soviet vessels."

Malinsky said he had scheduled an open hearing on the plan as soon as it was possible for him to do so. He said that the chancellor's office had refused to allow discussion of the matter until the University's budget for next year was approved.
THERE WAS also criticism for the committee's lack of research concerning the effects the proposed changes would have on the campus bus system. Jim Newlow, Lawrence graduate student and co-author of the Transportation Committee, charged that Malnowsky had failed to respond to evidence presented him showing that the

altered traffic flow would seriously h幅 scheduling of camus buses.
Malinowski responded that he did not have the authority to draw up bus schedules but that the proposed system would not preclude the operation of buses, although some rescheduling would be necessary.
Several alternative proposals were discussed during the meeting. Several students recommended that a well-financed mass-transit system would best handle traffic and parking problems, and asked for planning for such a system be undertaken.
Malinowsky s. ' that if the proposed changes were no acceptable, then the same regulations now in effect would hold for next year. He assured the audience that traffic would be informed of the Traffic and Parking Board's decision on the present proposal.
OTHER STUDENTS suggested that the entire central area of the campus be closed to all vehicular traffic and that Jayhawk Boulevard be torn up and replaced with a new pedestrian petition he said had been signed by approximately 500 students' favor this course.

Another information sheet said President Nixon was escalating the Vietnam war and not ending it as he promised.
The sheet said Nixon broke his promise when he resumed the bombing of North Vietnam, ordered the invasion of Laos and Cambodia, ordered saturation bombing of all Indochina "in order to force people into concentration camps and urban ghettoes," according to a statement posted on ground troop withdrawals to distract from the escalation of the air war, increased use of anti-personal bombs and sabotaged the Paris Peace talks.
