UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. () -
Canadian Foreign Secretary Paul
Martin warned yesterday that ef-
forts to open negotiations to end
the war in Vietnam are "doomed
to failure" unless the United
States halts its bombing of North
Vietnam.
In a speech to the UN General
Assembly, Martin said that a ces-
sation of the bombing "is a mat-
ter of first priority if we are to
start the process of de-escalation
and to open the door to the con-
ference room."
At the same time, Martin told
the 122-nation assembly that a
halt in the U.S. bombing was
"only one side of the military
equation."
'Hope of Success'
"We cannot proceed, if we are
to have any hope of success," he
said, "as if the other side did not
exist."
He pledged Canada's continued
efforts through the International
Control Commission on Indo-
china-India and Poland are the
other commission members - to
help "to lead the parties to the
conflict in Vietnam to the con-
ference table and to assist in
every way to achieve the estab-
lishment of an equitable peace in
Vietnam."
In another speech to the As-
sembly, Argentine Foreign Minis-
ter Nicanor Costa Mendez called
for active UN participation in the
search for peace in Southeast
Asia.
UN Involvement
It is unreasonable, he said, "to
contend that the international or-
ganization, could remain alien to
such an obvious case of a breach
of both peace and security."
Both Canada and Argentina
are members of the UN Security
Council, which discussed the
Vietnam war without success in
early 1966.
Martin threw cold water on the
possibility of any UN involvement.
He pointed out that some of the
key parties to the war are not
represented here, and contended
that "the great powers are di-
vided on the causes of the con-
flict and the measures required
to terminate it."

LAGOS, Nigeria-Nigerian forces
shelled the Biafran capital, Enugu,
after capturing three towns close
to it, a high Nigerian federal army
source said Wednesday night.
People were reported leaving the
secessionist capital as the federal
army moved closer against stiff
resistance, he added.
A broadcast earlier In the day
from Radio Nigeria said the troops
were moving their artillery within
range.
The Lagos broadcast told of con-
fusion in Enugu as residents fled
the city despite repeated Biafra
radio pleas to fight "house to
house, street by street."
LA PAZ, Bolivia-The Bolivian
army announced yesterday that
Roberto "Coco" Peredo, Bolivian
guerrilla leader, was one of three
rebels killed Tuesday in a gun-
fight with federal troops.
The other two men were iden-
tified as "Antonio," believed to be
a Cuban, and "Julio," believed to
be a Bolivian. The army denied
rumors that one of those killed

Morton. a foi mer Republican

backed Johnson's Vietnam policy,
told a newly formed group of
anti-war businessmen at the
United States should temporarily
halt its bombing of North Viet-
nam in a new bid for peace talks.
Enclave Theory
He also urged halting all "search
and destroy" missions and with-
drawing U.S. forces to metropoli-
tan areas. That proposal, he said,
is in general agreement with the
enclave theory long advanced by
retired Army Gen. James E. Gavin.

Meets Today
It will meet again, probably to-
day, to take another look at the
situation, with the Saturday mid-
night deadline in mind and the
Senate still to act.
A parliamentary situation pre-
vented the House from considering
the Republican-backed reduction
plan yesterday.
The next time the temporary fi-
nancing bill comes to the House,
the parliamentary situation may
permit a vote on the reduction
plan.

WASHINGTON (;P) - Military-
civilian differences over North
Vietnam bombing sharpened yes-
terday as the war problem drew
critical discussion in Washington.
The controversy whirled around
these developments:
-Secretary of Defense. Robert
S. McNamara reiterated his stand
against attacking the Communist
port of Haiphong, major entry
point for Soviet aid: "A risk I
don't believe we should under-
take at this time."
-Newly released congressional
testimony placed Gen. Earle G.
Wheeler. chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, at odds with the
administration's decision making
Haiphong a sanctuary from U.S.
bombs.
--Secretary of State Dean Rusk
challenged North Vietnam yester-
day to meet American peace over-
tures and pledged he would go
anywhere in the world for talks.
"We shall not stand on ceremony
or worry about saving face," Rusk
told the American Banker's Asso-
ciation. "It's not a question of

saving face, it's a question of
saving South Vietnam."
-Denmark's Prime Minister1
Jens Otto Krag told the National
Press Club in Washington the
United States should "run a lim-
ited risk" and stop the air attacks;
to see whether negotiations might
follow.
In its search for peace in Viet-
nam, the United States set no pre-
conditions and "will talk directly1
or through intermediaries," Rusk
said.
"If someone would produce a
real live North Vietnamese some-
where in the world for me to talk
to, I would be there."
McNamara, before leaving Wash-
ington for a NATO nuclear meet-'
ing in Turkey, discounted once
again the extent of the military
men's differences with the John-
son administration over conduct
of the war.
The Pentagon chiefs, in low-
.ey remarks, portrayed Wheeler's
testimony as "a balanced appraisal
of the potential risks and gains"
of raiding Haiphong while Soviet
chips may be docked unloading
supplies.
But Wheeler, in comments given
Aug. 16 to a closed hearing of the
Senate preparedness subcommit-
tee. asserted that after considering
all factors, "I have come down on
the side that we could undertake
actions against the port of Hai-
phong."
The four-star general said that
if Haiphong were neutralized and
Soviet war shipments halted, he
believes an end to the war might
come relatively soon.
Wheeler was not more specific
with a projection of the war's
duration but he said if Soviet aid
to the Hanoi regime were halted
"any sizeable conflict would be
impossible for the North Vietnam-
ese and the Viet Cong."

The Egyptians claimed they de-
stroyed a battery each of medium
artillery and antiaircraft guns, a
number of military vehicles and
a command post. Israel reported
Egypt shelled a train on the east
bank of the deserted waterway,
killing one crewman and wounding
two.
Egypt charged that Israeli shells
scored direct hits on 20 slum dis-
strict buildings and a railway sta-
tion in Ismailia, midway on the
107-mile canal.
In another development, an Is-
raeli army spokesman in Tel Aviv
said two Israeli border policemen
and two El Fatah terrorists were
killed in gun battles near Tulkarm
in Israeli-occupied Jordan yester-
day.
He said three terrorists were
captured after two separate clash-
es as troopers pursued saboteurs
who blew up a house in an eastern
Israeli kibbutz Monday, killing a
boy and wounding his parents.
Two of the captured men con-
fessed they had planted the charge
at Kibbutz Ometz near the old
Jordan-Israel border, the spokes-
man said.
