Thant backs a Hanoi demand
Paris (UPI)—Secretary General Thant Monday endorsed Hanoi's demands for an immediate and unconditional end to U.S. bombings of North Vietnam as the "first essential step" toward paving the way for peace talks.
The chief North Vietnamese spokesman at the Paris Vietnam War talks said earlier that "influential statesmen" in the United States backed Hanoi's negotiating position. He dismissed as "inaccurate" public opinion polls showing most Americans do not.
Nguyen Thanh Le also said he "hoped" Thant would support Hanoi's demand that the United States call an "immediate and unconditional" end to air strikes against the North.
Thant threw his support behind Hanoi following an hourlong meeting with French Foreign Minister Michel Debre.
"The first essential step to be taken to move the problem of Vietnam from the battle field to the conference table must be the immediate and unconditional cessation of bombing of North Vietnam," Thant said.
The U.N. Secretary General has made similar statements before. But his statement Monday coming on the heels of Hanoi's public request for support appeared to strengthen the North Vietnamese delegation's hand at the talks here.
the tanks here. Thant was in Paris for an international conference on human rights. He did not meet with either the U.S. or North Vietnamese bargaining teams as he did during his previous visit. The North Vietnamese demand has deadlocked the Paris Vietnam War talks with the United States since they opened on May 13.
Le shrugged off a recent poll that showed 53 per cent of American citizens agree with President Johnson's demand that North Vietnam give something in return for a complete halt to U.S. bombing attacks.
"We pay no attention to the so-called Gallup or other public opinion polls," Le said.
On the contrary, he claimed "broad circles of the American public, influential statesmen and newspapers" back Hanoi in demanding the United States end the bombing unconditionally.

Webb said Russia was ahead in the space race and the United States "is going to remain second for some time."
"We are not conducting the program at a level" which would bring the United States abreast of the Soviet Union in space, he said. Under questioning, Webb said he was "not satisfied with the program, or that we, as a nation, have not been able to go forward to achieve a first in space."
