Saigon balks; U.S. postpones Viet talks
PARIS (UPI)—The United States yesterday announced indefinite postponement of expanded Vietnam negotiations scheduled for today because of Saigon's refusal to sit at the conference table alongside a Viet Cong delegation. But the Viet Cong demanded the talks go on without waiting for Saigon.
U. S. spokesman William Jor-
den held out hope the South Vietnamese government would call off its boycott and eventually send a delegation to Paris.
He said consultations were continuing and "as soon as a date has been decided for the next meeting we will announce it."
A North Vietnamese source in Paris said today's meeting had
ASC may adopt Senate Code toniaht
Discussion and possible adoption of the Senate Code is likely to take place at tonights All-Student Council (ASC) meeting according to Rick von Ende, Abilene graduate student and permanent ASC chairman.
The passage of the Senate Code was expected to take place at an earlier date, but Von Ende said careful Senate Code consideration by the ASC has caused the delay.
"The reason Senate Code action has been delayed is that members of the ASC have presented a large number of amendments to the proposed Senate Code. After each amendment was presented, a lengthy debate and discussion followed," von Ende said.
Von Ende said many of the principles in the Minority Report have been brought up in several amendments to the Senate Code.
"The ASC made sure most of these amendments received lengthy discussion. It appears there will be no more amendments to the Code and we can discuss it tonight," von Ende said.
"The ASC has the option to break the Code down and vote on the sections separately. However, I don't expect this to happen." von Ende said.
Von Ende said members of the ASC can vote on the Senate Code as a whole or by sections.
The passage of the Senate Code, abolition of the ASC and establishment of a new three-senate structure would take two-thirds approval of the ASC.

The proposals for reform in student government were contained in a majority report issued in September by a 12 member student and faculty committee. The committee was created originally to study ways of implementing greater participation in University administration.

There was no indication when the substantive four-way negotiations might begin. But hopes for any quick solution faded Tuesday when Mme. Nguyen Tri Binh, the Viet Cong guerrilla fighter who heads the National Liberation Front delegation, took an uncompromising stand at a Paris news conference.

The Viet Cong delegation chief flatly ruled out any ceasefire in South Vietnam before the withdrawal of American troops.
Mrs. Binh denounced the Saigon government as "a clique of traitors in the pay of the American government," and called for creation of a coalition government in Saigon from which the present South Vietnamese leaders would be excluded.
