Hungarian's
Peace Hints
Scrutinized
Question Whether He
Had Hanoi's Authority
Or Spoke Own Views
WASHINGTON (P) -- The an-
nouncement by a Hungarian min-
ister that North Viet Nam might
be softening its position on peace
in Southeast Asia is receiving se-
rous study in Washington.
Administration officials are try-
ing to find out if the Hungarian
foreign minster, Janos Peter, was
speaking on behalf of the North
Vietnamese or merely expressing
his own views.
As of yesterday, the officials
reported no tangible evidence of
Hanoi's. willingness to negotiate
and are advising caution on the
question of Peter's authority to
speak for the North Vietnamese.
Last Week's Brief
Last week Peter is understood
to have briefed reporters in New
York on anattributable basis. He
was reported as having said that
Hanoi:
-While insisting that the Unit-
ed States stop its bombing raids,
is willing to drop its condition
that the National Liberation
Front, political facade of the Viet
Cong, must be recognized as sole
representative of the Vietnamese
people.
-Has indicated it would not in-
sist on an immediate unification
of the Viet Nams.
There was no indication of a
change in Hanoi's attitude in Pe-
ter's U.U. speech Oct. 18.
Peter told the assembly then
that Hanoi felt there has been no
real and valid peace offer from
the United States. He said he
spoke with "the full and true
knowledge and understanding of
the, opinion of North Viet Nam
and of the Viet Cong."
If this is true, and officials
have no reason to doubt that it
is, then Peter's background in-
formation might represent Hanoi's
position, officials speculated.
State Dept. Cautious
The State Department's offi-
cial reaction reflected both in-
terest and vaution. "We always
study with care any indication
that the other side may be inter-
ested in a negotiated settlement
of the Viet Nam conflict," press
officer Carl Bartch said.
At present, he added, "we can-
not judge whether these reports
do in fact represent a new de-
velopment."

increases, international health
programs and permission for
striking unions to picket construc-

On Plus Side
On the plus side, from the ad-
ministration's point of view, were
increases in minimum wages, anti-
urban development program, cre-
ation of cabinet departments for
t housing and transportation, auto-
mobile and highway safety laws,
readjustment benefits for "cold
war" veterans, and pay raises for
military and civil service em-
ployes.
Much of the unfinished business
is expected to be requested anew
by the President next year. And
much of the legislation enacted
faces review and financing to keep
it alive.
How much the President will
get from the 90th Congress will
depend on the outcome of the
November elections when all 435
Hotise seats and 35 Senate seats
will be filled.
Pollsters are in general agree-
ment that Republicans will make
some gains, particularly in the
House.
If the GOP picks up as many
as 20 more House seats, the Presi-
dent's 1967 program could be In
real trouble. A switch of that
many votes in the 89th Congress
would have defeated many big
bills that barely skimmed through
over conservative opposition.
Despite the Democrats' top-
heavy numerical majority-295 to
140 in the House and 67 to 33 in
the Senate-they didn't have that
kind of working control in the
89th.

Goldberg Calls Thant Peace
Plan a 'Package Proposal'
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.-(P)
U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Gold-
berg said yesterday the United
States considers the three-point
peace plan of U.N. Secretary-Gen-
eral U Thant a package proposal
aimed at scaling down the war.
"The war will not come to an
end if the bombing stops,",Gold-
berg declared in an interview on
the NBC television show "Todays"
Peter's Remarks
Goldberg said also that he was
encouraged by statements made
by Hungarian Premier Janos Peter
in the General Assembly on Oct.
18.
"I thought his remarks were
very interesting, they moved a
bit," Goldberg said. "And it's one
of the faint signals which I think
makes me feel a little-I empha-
size a little-more optimistic
about a peaceful resolution of the
Vietnamese conflict."
He added that he thought ?e-
ter's statement reflected some re-
laxation by Hanoi on two of its
demands for eritering peace talks
-a U.S. troop withdrawal and
that the NFL be the sole repre-
sentative of South Viet Nam at
peace negotiations.
But Golberg said what is need-
ed now is "direct dialogue," so
that the U.S. and Hanoi positions
can be discussed between "the ad-
versaries to the conflict. And I
hope that would cone about."
Thant Tactics
Thant is pressing for an uncon-
ditional halt to the U.S. bombing
of North Viet Nam, a military de-
escalation by both sides and rep-
resentation for the National Lib-
eration Front-political arm of
-the Viet Cong-in peace nego-
tiations.
There was no immediate com-
ment from Thant on Goldberg's
assessment of his proposals.
In a U.N. Day statement mark-
ing the 21st anniversary of the
world organization, Thant de-
scribed the war in Viet Nam "not
only a disaster for the Vietna-
mese people, but also a constant
threat to world peace."

A police whistle sounded and
police charged. They clubbed some
students to the ground and drag-

was strewn with hastily jettisoned
placards. Some fleeing students
were pursued as they scattered,
then re-formed in small groups.

A police official said the order

because they had moved onto the
