Delegates seek peace
U Thant holds talks
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. — (UPI)—A report that U.N. Secretary General U Thant had launched a new effort to end the war in Vietnam got confirmation today from Philippine Foreign Secretary Narciso Ramos.
At his weekly news conference in Manila, Ramos reported the new peace drive by Thant but declined to discuss details.
"I'd better not comment," Ramos said. "Right now it's very classified."
The report of Thant's new effort and rumors that "things are stirring" to the end Vietnam war spread through U.N. headquarters here Thursday as the secretary general held a series of unannounced conferences with U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg, Soviet Ambassador Nikolai T. Fedorenko and the envoys of Canada and Poland.
Canada and Poland, along with India, are members of the International Control Commission (ICC) named to carry out agreements on Vietnam reached at Geneva in 1954.

their report by adding "it doesn't mean the stirring will produce a good soup. But there is a ferment going on."
A spokesman for Thant declined to confirm that any new peace move was afoot. Goldberg did likewise but hinted that some new developments might be in the making.
President Johnson, in a major policy speech before the Tennessee Legislature Wednesday defended U.S. bombing of North Vietnam but added the United States was continuing its search for a peaceful end to the war.
Ramos told reporters today the Philippines were not directly involved in the new peace effort, but he had been advised of it.
"I will do everything in my power to encourage any effort U Thant may take to lead us to a peaceful settlement," Goldberg said.

MOSLEMS TRADITIONALLY celebrate Id-al-Adha, the commemoration of Abraham's sacrifice, by meeting at Mecca on the tenth day of the twelfth month.
The tenth day of Ailhih, the twelfth month on the Moslem calendar, corresponds with March 21 on the Gregorian calendar.
Not expected to fare well, but a definite darkhorse contender is Southern Methodist with the most balanced scoring attack of the four.
All Moslems are urged to go to Mecca if possible, Zafar Israili, Moradabad, India, graduate student and president of the Muslim society said. But because all of them can not, the festival will be observed at KU.
