Delay in Paris Agreement
Laid to Saigon Objections

By BERNARD GWERTZMAN

Special to The New York Times

WASHINGTON, June 10 — Henry A. Kissinger and Hanoi's chief negotiator, Le Duc Tho, decided to break off their talks in Paris yesterday for a few days when "it became clear" they could not quickly resolve the last-minute reservations raised by Saigon to the proposed document on strengthening the Vietnam cease-fire agreement, an Administration official said today.

The talks are due to resume this week after Mr. Kissinger returns to Paris on Tuesday. He flew back to Washington last night to work on plans for the coming visit of Leonid I. Brezhnev, the Soviet Communist party leader, to this country June 18 to 26.

[In Saigon, American and South Vietnamese officials wearily began preparing for the new round of Paris talks. They indicated that they felt the talks had been stalled only temporarily and they remained optimistic that the four parties would eventually reach an accord. Page 7.]

Mr. Kissinger, President Nix-

on's adviser on national security, spoke by phone this morning with the President, who was at Key Biscayne, Fla., the Administration official said. He said that Mr. Kissinger also discussed the Brezhnev visit with his staff and the Soviet Ambassador, Anatoly F. Dobrynin.

Saigon Voices Concern

The official acknowledged that a document aimed at facilitating the carrying out of the Vietnam cease-fire accord was ready for agreement by the various parties late last week, when Saigon registered new concern over possible interpretations of the agreement.

When it became clear that a quick resolution to the new problems could not be achieved, Mr. Kissinger suggested a short recess so that the various parties could reflect on the situation, the official said.

Because of Washington's delicate relationship with the Saigon Government, officials were

reluctant to day to criticize
President Nguyen Van Thieu
publicly. But in private they in-
dicated that they thought his
last-minute reservations were
not well-founded.

In some ways, the situation
was analagous to hat of last
October when Mr. Thieu's ob-
jections relayed a cease-fire
agreement between Washington
and Hanoi.

But the official said that the
latest problem was "not of such
cosmic dimensions." He stressed
that the document being worked
out now was not a new agree-
ment but rather a series of pro-
cedures to put into effect more
satisfactorily what had already
been agreed upon.

In the past, however, Wash-
ington officials have often dis-
missed as "minor complaints"
issues that to Saigon have
loomed as major problems.

### Conciliatory Attitude Urged

The Administration through-
out the negotiations has urged
the Saigon Government to take
a more conciliatory attitude
toward the Vietcong and not be
afraid to compete openly with
the Comunists for power. But
Saigon has been wary of any
measures that would give in-
creased legitimacy to the Viet-
cong.

The official suggested that
Saigon's objections to the latest
document should be dropped
when he said that 90 per cent
of the "reflection" going on
now should be done in Saigon
and 10 per cent in Hanoi. This
seemed to be an indirect way
of saying that Saigon was 90
per cent responsible for the
delay in concluding the current
round of talks.

If an acceptable formula is

not reached when Mr. Kissinger
returns to Paris, it will not af-
fect the cease-fire agreement
that was signed on Jan. 27,
the official said.

He said that Mr. Kissinger
would eventually hold a full
news conference and go into
detail on what has happened in
the latest Paris talks.

The South Vietnamese Gov-
ernment has been told, offi-
cials acknowledge, that if the
American public believes that
Saigon is blocking an effective
carrying out of the cease-fire
accord, this might hurt Saigon's
chances for American economic
aid.

Meanwhile, a Senate staff re-
port, issued today, said that
there was "little prospect" of
achieving peace in Indochina
through political means.

The study, carried out by
James G. Lowenstein and Rich-
ard M. Moose for a foreign rela-
tions subcommittee, said that
on a trip to Southeast Asia be-
tween March 28 and April 19
they found that neither Hanoi
nor Saigon was ready to make
any political compromises.

"If the United States thought
that the leaders in Hanoi would
abandon their life-long objec-
tives or that President Thieu
would be willing to risk the
tenuous security won for him
by the United States, we may
have miscalculated badly," the
report said.

The report disclosed that the
United States recently had been
providing for flight pay for
Laotian pilots to keep them
from flying.

It said that before the
Laotian cease-fire in February,
the United States, through
local Central Intelligence Agen-
cy officials, had been paying
bonuses to Laotian pilots for
each mission.

# Kissinger Role in Forming 'Plumbers'

By Jack Anderson

Foreign policymaker Henry Kissinger led President Nixon to form "the plumbers," the para-police squad that burglarized the offices of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist and engaged in other extralegal activities.

This is the story former White House aide Charles Colson has given the Watergate prosecutors in private. As Colson related it, Kissinger got the President so "psyched up" over security leaks that he authorized the plumbers to plug the leaks. Afterward, Kissinger tried to run the plumbers squad through his aide David Young, claimed Colson.

Colson described Kissinger as approaching "near hysteria" over the leak of the Pentagon Papers. One reason for his excitement, Colson suggested, was that the chief leaker, Daniel Ellsberg, formerly had worked for Kissinger.

Sources close to Kissinger confirmed he had been alarmed over the Pentagon Papers leak, which he feared could have "disastrous consequences."

No doubt Kissinger told the President of his concern, said these sources.

They denied, however, that Kissinger had anything to do with the formation or operation of the plumbers. The squad was formed, they recall, while Kissinger was on his secret mission to Peking. Young joined the squad and came under White House aide John Ehrlichman's control while Kissinger was away, insist these sources.

Kissinger has searched his logs, they say, to check whether he had any contact with Young after his former aide became a plumber. After checking both his logs and his memory, Kissinger is quite sure he never visited or spoke with Young after the plumbers went into business.

### Suppressed Scientist—

There's evidence that famed federal scientist Dr. Oscar Liu, who found ominous viruses in the water supplies in Washington, D.C., and Lawrence, Mass., was railroaded out of his job for the discovery. Liu was then head of virology at the Environmental Protection Agency's water

supply lab. Suddenly, he was transferred to what he said was work "on a bench as a technician." The EPA insists that the transfer was intended merely to make sure Liu "has an opportunity to work on a team rather than direct an operation." But an investigation by one of EPA's own examiners has now found that Liu clearly has been downgraded following publicity about his discovery. The examiners recommendation: "Duties more commensurate with his former duties."

Get Breggin—The nation's most outspoken foe of psychosurgery, psychiatrist Peter Breggin, has been warned that several ex-convicts are out to "get" him. Apparently, they believe in the psychosurgery he opposes to probe the brain and modify violent behavior. Breggin calls this "partial murder" because it blunts the patients' personality. The warning that ex-inmates might seek reprisals against him, Breggin says, came from a California psychosurgeon who claims to have performed 300 behavioral operations. Breggin quotes Hunter Brown as telling him: "I am in close correspondence with some prisoners at San Quentin, sixty of whom wish to have psychiatric surgery. The word has gotten around that the first man who is paroled—and this is a real risk, Peter, seriously—the word is to 'get Breggin.' This is the truth and I can document it." At least three members of Congress—Sen. Glenn Beall (R-Md.), Sen. James Buckley (Cons.-R-N.Y.) and Rep. Ron Dellums (D-Calif.)—have written to California Attorney General Evele Younger expressing concern over the alleged threats.

Goodbye Totomis—Last fall we told how the high-living governor of Greece's state-controlled development bank had been accused by an American businessman of beating him out of $80,000. We reported that the governor, Paul Totomis, also provided a free luxury tour of Greece for American newsmen to promote himself. Totomis denied to us any hanky-panky before or after he took over the bank. But we can now report that the Greek government has quietly replaced him.

Amongst duplicate players, today's deal has been accepted as the "hard luck hand of 1969." In it our South declarer bid and made a grand slam. Yet, when the results were posted at the conclusion of the game, it was noted that of the seven South declarers who played the deal, our South declarer had secured the worst score of all!

# Kissinger To See
## President About
## Viet, Brezhnev

Washington (AP)—President Nixon scheduled a meeting with his chief economic advisers today to discuss a wide range of inflation-fighting proposals they worked out over the weekend.

Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, just returned from Paris, also was to meet with the President to talk about the stalled Indo-china negotiations with North Vietnam's Le Duc Tho and next week's visit of Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev.

Mr. Nixon returned Sunday night from a three-day stay in Florida, his face reddened from the sun. He interspersed work sessions in his study at his Key Biscayne home with rides on friend C. G. (Bebe) Rebozo's houseboat and spent time in the pool under a cloudless sky.

### Meeting Scheduled

Mr. Nixon scheduled a meeting today with George P. Shultz, Secretary of the Treasury; John Dunlop, director of the Cost of Living Council, and John B. Connally, a special adviser.

The three men, along with other economists, held an unusual Saturday meeting to work out proposals said to include a get-tough policy on big business, tighter enforcement of present controls and possibly selective new regulations that might affect gasoline and fuel oil.

Gerald L. Warren, deputy press secretary, said the President has no immediate plans to announce a new anti-inflation program. Warren added that he does not expect any major economic announcement today.

### Two Hours With Haig

The President spent two hours Sunday with his new chief of staff, Gen. Alexander, M. Haig, Jr., who in turn was in touch with Shultz.

Warren said the President had been given a number of options but, asked about any decisions, replied: "I have nothing to give you on that."

Kissinger said in Paris that he made the quick trip home to work on the Brezhnev visit, and plans to return to the negotiating table Tuesday.

The White House and Kissinger gave no indication of what led to the snag in a document to strengthen the Vietnam cease-fire agreement.

### Preparing For Brezhnev

En route back from Florida, Warren said the President was devoting an increasing amount of time preparing for the visit of the Soviet leader.

"He is going about it in the same way as he prepared for the Moscow summit talks" last year, Warren said. The President is receiving briefing books from the various departments involved with Soviet relations.

## "Ingestion Of Drugs"

He said George T. O'Leary, 43, probably died "of an ingestion of drugs." Thelma O'Leary, 36, and the children apparently died of gunshot wounds, he said.

Police said a .38-caliber revolver and several spent cartridges were found on the floor near O'Leary's body.

Authorities said the children were identified by O'Leary's brother Arthur as George, Jr., 13; Colleen, 11; Kathleen, 10; and twins Michael and Melinda, 8.

Two notes were found at the house, police said. They said one was inside the house, but they eclined to say whether it was a suicide note.

## U Nu Offers

## Plan To Ne Win

Bangkok, Thailand (P)—The Bangkok Post reported today that U Nu, former Burmese prime minister, has offered to meet Ne Win, Burmese leader, to discuss the country's "peace and prosperity."

The paper said the exiled Burmese leader called in an interview for a "free and fair" election in Burma, adding: "If Ne Win holds elections and gets elected, I will support him."

U Nu said he was prepared to meet "anywhere, even in Burma," with Ne Win, who ousted and jailed him in 1962.

U Nu said he had asked Prime Minister Indira Gandhi for political asylum in India but had not received a reply.

THESE DAYS

BY JOHN CHAMBERLAIN

THE TREASURY VERSUS HENRY KISSINGER

In the post-Napoleonic period the Austrian Chancellor Prince Metternich, whose balance-of-power statecraft has provided Henry Kissinger with his working model for peace, found himself hamstrung by the inability of his own ramshackle country to solve its industrial and financial problems. And now history, as it turns out, may be about to repeat itself, with Kissinger cast in the role of the "heavy" for the despairing U.S. foreign policy.

Kissinger is possibly doomed to be drowned in a flood of oil. In 1973 the Saudi Arabs will collect some $4,000,000,000 from the U.S. for the crude oil needed to keep cars running on American roads and power going to American homes and factories. The Saudi Arabs are stumped with what to do with that money: camel drivers and goat herders, living in nomad fashion, make poor consumers. The Koran doesn't even allow them to drink. What the Saudi Arabian government wants is arms, ostensibly to balance the $2,000,000,000 in military equipment that Iran, on the other side of the Persian Gulf, is getting from the U.S.

A Big Deal in Arms Ahead

The U.S. Treasury obviously hopes to build up a reciprocal economic relationship with Saudi Arabia to bring some of our exported dollars home before they feed the inflationary fires by going into the gold market. So the proposition is to sell Phantom jets to Saudi Arabia along with F-4 fighter bombers, F-5E supersonic interceptors, helicopter gunships and other oddments. Current dickering in Washington could result in $600,000,000 in military sales to Saudi Arabia and $500,000,000 to Kuwait, which would be a welcome economic offset to oil purchases from the two Arab nations.

The deal would create a true balance of power between the Moslem countries and non-Moslem Iran on two sides of the Persian Gulf. But it would be at the cost of upsetting the balance of power between Israel and the Arab countries in the Mediterranean-Red Sea area. Israel has no objections when the U.S. sells helicopters and naval vessels to oil-rich Arab nations: these could hardly menace Israeli security. But the possibility of Saudi Arabia stocking up with Phantom jets is making the Israelis extremely nervous. The West, France included, has hitherto followed a policy of refusing to sell advanced jet planes to countries that border directly on Israel.

The French sent Mirages to Libya on the express promise that they would not be transferred to Egypt. The promises notwithstanding, Libyan Mirages have turned up on Egyptian fields with "visitor's permits." Iraq has transferred British Hunters to Cairo, and Saudi Arabia has been reported as ready to lend the Egyptians some British Lightning jets. With this sort of thing going on, Israel naturally fears that Saudi Arabia's King Faisal, who has promised to put any and all war materiel at the disposal of Egypt's President Sadat, would not scruple to sweeten the Egyptians' anti-Israel pot with any Phantoms that he is able to wangle out of Washington.

An Imbalance of Power

If Kissinger's Metternichean diplomacy does not include the maintenance of an Israeli "deterrent" in the Middle East, the balance of power could be disrupted everywhere. An Arab victory over Israel would disrupt the smooth flow of oil not only to America but to Japan and western Europe. The Soviets, who already have a strong hold on Iraq and naval installations in Somaliland, would inherit naval control in the eastern Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf. Western Europe would have to sue for resumption of its oil supply on the Arabs' own terms. And the U.S. and Japan would have to pay whatever price an Arab-dominated oil cartel chose to impose.

With the fate of his policy at stake, Henry Kissinger has his work cut out for him. The U.S. Treasury, hungry for the repatriation of American dollars, threatens the whole Kissinger program. Just as Metternich's failure to modernize the internal structure of the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy in the first half of the 19th century undermined his peace policy and opened the way to the Crimean War, the Bismarckian attack on France in 1870, and World War I, so the economic policy of the U.S. Treasury may upset the applecart in the Middle East.

If Kissinger has learned anything from his study of 19th century history, he would be busy counseling Richard Nixon to do something about building safe atomic energy plants and to make use of advanced technology in getting clean power from America's abundant coal deposits. Domestic failure in solving our energy needs spells a long-term failure in foreign policy. It is as simple as that. The first thing to be done is to keep any more Phantom jets from going to the Middle East.

In yesterday's letter, Hart
reminded Nassikas that he
had requested the FPC chair-
man on March 7 to provide
the subcommittee with sub-
stantial data from the papers,
which consisted of the replies
of 79 gas producers to a ques-
tionnaire on uncommitted re-
serves available for sale.

On the basis of a compil-
ation of the replies, the FPC
announced Feb. 22 that gas re-
serves had declined 26 per
cent in the 2½ years ended in
mid-1972. This was an omen of
higher consumer prices, such
as the May 30 approval of a 73
per cent increase in the price
of new natural gas at the well-
head.

In the March letter, Hart
also requested Nassikas to
supply the Federal Trade
Commission with materials it
needed for its independent in-
vestigation of the accuracy
and reliability of aggregated
reserves as reported by the

Tax Break
For Nixon

By Nick

Washington Post

Edward L. Morgan, former
deputy counsel to President
Nixon, said yesterday that
White House aides lobbied the
Congress in 1969 to prevent a
law that would eliminate a lu-
crative tax advantage for the
President.

Congress enacted the law
anyway, preventing public of-
ficials, writers and artists
from taking large tax deduc-
tions for gifts of their work to
the country or to universities
and libraries.

"I recall a mad scramble at
the White House about the ef-
fect of the proposed law on
the presidential papers," said
Morgan, who is now Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury for
law enforcement.

"I remember scrambling
around about a law going
through that was going to
screw the President. The feel-
ing was that we ought to fight
it and beat it."

Morgan was involved in the
last Nixon gift of presidential
papers which provided the
President with a $250,000 tax
saving before the new law
went into effect.

The White House says the
last gift of papers from earlier
in Mr. Nixon's career was
made on March 27, 1969, in
deed signed by Morgan. Gift
after July 25, 1969 were
longer eligible for huge tax
deductions.

Eternal Triangle?

After Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho broke off their second effort in Paris to restore the fractured Vietnam peace last week, an American official said that difficulties had arisen due to a "triangular argument" among the Governments of the United States, North Vietnam and South Vietnam.

That unfortunately has been the story of Vietnam for nearly two decades. In the interests of stopping Communism, the United States in 1954 became party to an argument among Vietnamese which nineteen years of death, destruction and agony on all sides have been unable to resolve. In spite of the "peace with honor" proclaimed by President Nixon last January, the quarrel persists, the fighting continues and the United States remains heavily involved.

Even if Mr. Kissinger is able to persuade the fractious Vietnamese to agree to some new cease-fire arrangements in Paris this week, the best that can be hoped for is a temporary lull in hostilities. Only a political settlement can eliminate the causes of conflict and, as a Senate staff report noted last week: "There appears to be little prospect that peace will be restored by political means given the apparent continued determination by Hanoi and the Provisional Revolutionary Government to displace the existing structure in the South and given the South Vietnamese Government's adamant refusal to afford either the Communists or the non-Communist opposition any meaningful role in political life."

The persisting intransigence of both sides to the Vietnamese dispute is a tragedy that the whole world deplores. But it is a Vietnamese tragedy that cannot be resolved by third parties. It is a tragedy that can only be prolonged and deepened by the bombs and threats that have been the hallmark of the Administration's intervention for "peace." It is past time that the "triangular argument" over the fate of Vietnam was reduced to its proper dimensions, with the United States withdrawing completely at last to allow the Vietnamese to settle their own affairs.

opposing Vietnamese battle-
field commanders at points of
direct conflict within 48 hours
to avoid hostilities.

3 Points Disputed

The document showed that
Saigon objected to three
points. They are: wording used
in delineating zones of control,
establishment of a Council of
National Reconciliation and
Concord without linking it to a
definite timetable for elections
and permission for the Com-
munist side to receive replace-
ment war materiel through the
demilitarized zone.

Here are the 14-points of the
draft communique:

1. The United States will stop its aerial reconnaissance over North Vietnam immediately.

2. The United States will re-

sume sweeping mines from
the waterways of North Viet-
nam within 5 days and will
complete the operations with-
in 30 days.

True Cease-Fire

3. A true cease-fire will go
into effect 24 hours after the
signing of the joint commu-
nique.

4. There shall be a delineation of the zones of control by the two opposing parties, the Saigon government and the Viet Cong. The English text uses the word "territory." Thieu wants this changed to read military zones of control.

Sources said that, if he

agrees to sign a document in-
cluding the word "territory,"
it would mean there are two
territories in South Vietnam
and would be tantamount to
recognizing the Viet Cong as a
legitimate government.

5. Saigon and the Viet Cong shall complete the release of Vietnamese civilian prisoners within 45 days.

Command Parley

6. Within 48 hours, the com-
manders of the opposing
armed forces at those places
of direct contact shall meet
with a view to reaching an
agreement on temporary
measures to avert conflict.

7. The two South Vietnamese parties shall agree on points of entry for replacement of war materials.

8. Saigon and the Viet Cong must cooperate with the four-party Joint Military Team, which also includes representa-

tives of the U.S. and North
Vietnam, in accounting for
missing Americans and Viet-
namese and in repatriating the
remains of American dead.

9. Saigon and the Viet Cong shall prohibit all acts of reprisal and discrimination against individuals or organizations that have collaborated with one side or the other and ensure the democratic liberties of the people.

Military Commission

10. The Council of National Reconciliation and Concord shall be established as soon as possible, and Saigon and the Viet Cong shall sign an agreement on the internal political affairs of South Vietnam within 45 days.

11. The two-party Joint Military Commission, made up of the Saigon government and the Viet Cong, shall be provided full protection, assistance and

cooperation and shall enjoy
privileges and immunities
equivalent to those accorded
diplomatic missions and diplo-
matic agents.

12. Guarantees of security by both sides for members of the four-nation International Commission of Control and Supervision to move about freely without advance notification to Saigon or the Viet Cong.

13. Implementation of Article 20 of the original Paris agreement concerning Laos and Cambodia.

14. Resumption of economic aid talks between the U.S. and North Vietnam.

Need For Aloneness

The President recently ex-
lained his need for aloneness:
Great decisions, if they are to
be good decisions, must be
made coolly ... Of course, I
like to hear everyone, but then
go off alone and decide ..."

He has established Camp

White House guide said.

Mr. Nixon is usually at his
Oval Office by 8 A.M. with the
first order of business the loose
leaf notebook labeled "Daily

his desk.

Though he reportedly gets
six daily newspapers, Mr.
Nixon prefers his news from
this overnight compilation.
Aides say it sometimes runs 40
pages, divided into national,
international and political
news, with a "summarizing of
the summary" too.

Reading Time

Aides said Mr. Nixon spends
10 minutes to a half hour read-
ing the summaries. He makes
marginal comments as he
reads.
