U.S. - N. Vietnam war talks planned
PARIS (UPI) — Diplomatic sources said U.S. and North Vietnamese officials Sunday secretly discussed how to arrange expanded war talks which the South Vietnamese government has vowed to boycott and to which the Viet Cong was sending a woman as delegation chief.
According to the reports, the secret planning was being done by U.S. Ambassador Cyrus R. Vance and Hanoi's Col. Ha Van Lau.
In the past two weeks, according to diplomats, meetings led to the Friday halt to American bombing of North Vietnam which in turn paved the way for inviting Saigon and the Viet Cong into the talks.
Viet Cong plan
A five-point Viet Cong peace plan broadcast Sunday by the official North Vietnamese news agency from Hanoi called for establishment of a coalition government in South Vietnam, withdrawal of all American forces and eventual reunification of North and South Vietnam.
GOP awaits late returns in House election race
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Democrats and Republicans are braced for a cliff-hanger running into Wednesday—and possibly days later—for a decision on which party controls the House of Representatives in the new Congress.
The GOP needs a net gain of 30 seats to reach the 218 needed to organize the House. Republican congressional leaders are predicting they will win those seats while electing Richard M. Nixon to the presidency.
But Republican Party managers privately show less confidence and believe that it will be very tough to gain more than 20 seats.
Their Democratic counterparts long have been confident they will keep control of the House. They expect to lose eight to 12 seats if Nixon wins the presidency and no more than 20 to 22 if they suffer a national election disaster.
If these forecasts are accurate, control of the House cannot be decided in any positive way until conclusive returns are available from the Far West, long after East Coast residents have gone to bed and maybe not until the middle of Wednesday.
If the spread between Democrats and Republicans should be narrow and a number of races should be close, demands for recounts could keep the outcome in doubt until even later.
All 435 House members will be chosen in the election Tuesday. Control of both the House and Senate normally goes to the party winning the presidency.
Only 34 of the 100 Senate seats will be filled this year. Even a national Republican landslide would not insure a pickup of the 13 seats needed for GOP control of the Senate.

President Nguyen Van Thieu of South Vietnam said in Saigon Saturday he could not take part in the Paris talks unless Hanoi voted to de-escalate the war and unless the Viet Cong attended only as part of the North Vietnamese delegation.
NLF separate
In Paris, North Vietnamese diplomats said the National Liberation Front (NLF), the political arm of the Viet Cong, will be an independent delegation. Hanoi diplomats said Mrs. Nguyen Thi Binh, 41 and member of the NLF presidium, will fly in Monday from Moscow to head the NLF delegation.

Thieu stressed in a wildly cheered speech to his parliament Saturday that his government does not recognize the NLF or the Viet Cong. His supporters said agreeing to treat the Communist guerrillas as anything but a Hanoi tool would be a "surrender."

North Vietnamese diplomats said they and Mrs. Binh's delegation are willing to sit down with the Saigon delegation, "a gang of traitors." They also said they do not recognize it as anything more than a "U.S. stooge."
