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 a Californian who has won No- I tional Front for Liberation. bel Prizes in two categories, chem- These terms included withdraw- istry and peace.

By The Associated Press 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 :Monday. A wall of Communist fire turned back a relief column of sev- eral government battalions that set out for Tuy An from Tuy Hoa, a provincial capital 15 miles! down the coast. Quick DiversionI The quick diversion from the, savage encounter in the Ia Drang Valley, 100 miles to the west, dem- onstrated how the Viet Cong and their North Vietnamese allies t i i S f 1 L T could strike and then fade into the countryside over huge areas. To aid in the defense of such isolated centers at Tuy An, U.S. forces disclosed they have created a squadron of 20 mates for Puff, the "magic dragon," a bizarre warplane first tested in combat 11 months ago. Puff is a World War II C-47 specially outfitted to deliver 18,000 bullets a minute over an area the size of a foot- ball field. Another new weapon, a special Winchester Model 70 rifle with telescope sight 'adopted for U.S. Marine snipers, went into action.

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 ,Sir Humphrey Gibbs, who as gov- ernor gene'al is the only repre- sentative in Salisbury of Queen Elizabeth II. r', t! i t, t s K r e t was that "the United States is planning to attack them in the near future, possibly within six months."
