RYAN Associated Press Special Correspondent BEVE RLY HILLS, Calif. ()- The. bombing o~f North Vietnam has: been a failure, a- recent U.S. visitor to Hanoi reports. He said the question of a halt in the bombing of~ the Communist North may be critical for the chances of peace talks. Harry S. Ashmore, executive. vice president of the- Center for Study of Democratic Institutions, presented this opinion' to a news conference Thursday. At -the same time he reported that :North Viet- namese President Ho Chi Minh was quite interested in an invita- tion. to send a. representative to a convocation on world peace in Geneva in .May. Ashmore,. who returned Monday from North Vietnam, stressed that the May meeting would be unoffi- cial and could by no means be cdnsidered a forum for Vietnam peace negotiations..But he express- ed hope that Ho's interest meant that. "sorniething tangible" was de- veloping in the way of a changed Hanoi attitude toward peace ne- gotiationls. . Unity Strengthened Ashmore told the news confer- ence that "my own judgment." is that .I consider the bombing a failure" and that from what he had seen and heard, the type of bombing now going on- would not end. the war. Instead, he said,. it was, strengthening North Viet- .nam,'s Unity . - The North Vietnamese officials, he said, seem aware that aIone they can never . muster strength enough to push U.S. forces into. the sea, but he said: he had the impression .they felt they could not lose the war either. "We. should take any step pos- sible to end - the war. If I were.- president, ;t would certainly stop the bombing. I am not one of those who are critical of the President's policies, but I feel that if there are. to be any negotiations, it will call forbconcessions on both sides," Severe Dislocations Ashmore-said that without ques- tion the U.S. bombings of the North had caused severe disloca- tions there. He said: "Certainly North Viet- nam has been inconvenienced, but not in the sense of reducing its war effort. MVy own judgment is that I consider the bombing a failure. The damage done has an effect, but it has been offset by the unity it has given the country. "The morale is extremely high. The people have been solidified behind the government, The prob- lem, in military terms, is that to be really effective, theoretically, would mean it would be necessary to disrupt communications, but that would require escalation of the bombing effort. "If the war is spread, it might well bring in the Chinese." Ashmore reported he had seen four instances of bombing of ci- vilian areas in and onthe edge of Hanoi. Some of this, he said, could have been the result of er- ror.' He mentioned a section near the Red River near a major rail link and extensive damage to homes primarily from fire; at the edge of the capital and a demolished school; major damage in the heart of Hanoi to an area of 6 or '7 city blocks, and a trade school and two nearby three-story buildings. He added he saw major damage in the city of Nam Dinh and the town of Phu Ly. Ashmoore went to Hanoi in company with William C. Baggs, editor of the Miami, Fla., News and a center director, and Luis Quintinilla, a former Mexican dip- lomat who has been ambassador to the Organization of American States. __I SARAH MELTON & COMPANY A great folk song group at 1421 Hil $1 .00cover charge for all you can eat L COMING: "THE ENDLESS SUMMER" DIAL 8-64I6 HELD OVER!
