Hanoi: No Meeting Before Withdrawal
TOKYO (P)-President Ho Chi'
Minh of North Viet Nam has re-
asserted a demand that all U.S.,
troops withdraw from South Viet
Nam as a condition for settle-
He thus appeared to have de-
destroyed all hopes tat the Com-
munists might move toward a
compromise which could bring the
conflict to a conference table.
Peking's New China News Agen-
cy reported that the North Viet1
Nam leader sent a letter Nov. 17
to Dr. Linus Carl Pauling, a U.S:'
Nobel Prize winner, restating Com-
munist demands. These demands
since March 22 have been laid
down consistently as prior condi-
tions to be met before any inter-]
national Geneva-style conference
would even be considered.
At his ranch home near San
Luis Obispo, Calif., Pauling said
the letter apparently is an answer
to an appeal he and other Nobel
Peace Prize winners sent last Au-
gust to the heads of various gov-
ernments involved in the Viet Nam
war.
He said the appeal urged a ne-
gotiated settlement.
President Johnson last April ex-
pressed U.S. willingness for "un-
conditional discussions." With
both the United States and the
Communists holding firmly to
partment confirmed that U Thant,
secretary-general of the United
Nations, last fall relayed word
that North Viet Nam was willing
to talk with U.S. representatives
at Rangoon, Burma.
A spokesman said Washington
rejected this because "all our in-
dications were that there was no
serious intent on the other side."
He added that on the basis of the
evidence, "We did not believe at
any time that North Viet Nam was

SAIGON--The town of Tuy An
held out, but five government out-
posts were believed last night to
have been overrun by the Viet
Cong in a battle that shifted at-
tention from the central highlands
to the central coast.
Aided by a United States Navy
bombardment and U.S. Air Force
raids, Tuy An staved off attacks
from a guerrilla regiment, esti-
mated up to 2000 men.
Communications were lost, how-
ever, with two government posts
and three militia positions hit

LONDON (JP)-Britain will not+
impose an oil and trade embargoi
on Rhodesia unless other countries
join to make it effective, Prime
Minister Harold Wilson declared
last night.I
"We are not going to do it on
our own," he told a session of thej
House of Commons.
Wilson spoke at a time of in-
creasing violence in the rebellious1
colony which brought its first fa-1
tality-the death yesterday of anl
African demonstrator from policeE
gunfire in Bulawayo. Africans re-
sponded with a mass walkout from
their jobs in industry and com-
merce.
In many industries only 40 per
cent of African workers turned up
for work and a combined meeting;
of industrial, engineering andI
commercial employers decided,
that all African workers who fail
to report for work today will be
dismissed.
Another African was badly
wounded in Que Que, 100 miles
south of Salisbury.
Second Demonstration
Police broke up a second dem-
onstration against the seizure of
independence by Prime Minister;
Ian Smith's white regime.
The British treasury, mean-
while, announced further sanc-
tions against the breakaway gov-
ernment, imposing strict currency,
controls on British residents go-
ing to Rhodesia or wishing to send
cash gifts there.
Wilson's statement sparked an-
gry scenes in the House of Com-
mons. At one point the prime
minister had to sit down while
the speaker tried to restore order.
Conservative Opposition
Opposition Conservative legisla-
tors are strongly opposed to what
they call punitive sanctions
against Rhodesia, such as an oil
embargo, and they accuse Wilson's
administration of giving in to for-!
eign pressure by voting in favor of
the embargo resolution in the
United Nations Security Council
Saturday.
Wilson heatedly denied this and
said the British government does
not regard the resolution as man-
datory.
"The test to be applied," Wilson
said, "is the effectiveness of the
measures to be implied."
British Problem
He said his government still con-
siders the Rhodesian crisis to be
primarily a British problem, but
he warned that Britain must take
action to avoid having "that re-
sponsibility taken out of our
hands, by others, and possibly by
methods which would involve last-
ing damage for Rhodesia, and in-
deed far beyond Rhodesia."
"What is at stake here is the
future of our multiracial common-
wealth. What is at stake - has
been at stake-is the possibility of
our virtual isolation at the United
Nations," he said.
"What is at stake, too, is'
whether the Afro-Asian bloc will
continue in a substantially neu-
tralist posture, or will be attracted
by the pressures from other na-
tions-not the least Red China
-who are in a position to turn
the Rhodesian situation to their
advantage."
No Troops
Wilson again ruled out sending
British troops to overthrow the
Smith regime as demanded by
Judith Todd, 22, daughter of a
former Rhodesian prime minister,
Garfield Todd, on her arrival in
Salisbury from London.
He also answered a curt "no" to
a fellow Laborite's demand that
a token force be sent to protest

was that "the United States is
