"The trip to Paris has given us new
tools to work w it h in the anti-war
struggle," says Barbara Fuller, director
of the Interfaith Peace Council.
Fuller recently returned f r o m the
Paris peace talks as a representative of
theCitizen's Conference on Ending the
War in Indochina.
She and 170 other members of the
conference met two weeks ago with rep-
resentatives of the principal parties in
the Indochina conflict to gain a better
understanding of the requisites for
peace,
Conference members met with t h e
negotiating teams of the United States,
North Vietnam, the Provisional Revo-

Vietnam, and the Saigon government.
The group also spoke with represen-
tatives of the Cambodian United Front
- a group opposing the Lon Nol regime
and United States and South Vietna-
mese intervention in Cambodia - and
members of "third force" or neutralist
elements of South Vietnam.
According to Fuller some of the con-
ference members were more skeptical of
the friendliness of the PRG and North
Vietnamese officials than she. "Yet I
found it hard to believe that the gen-
uineness which I continually encounter-
ed was put on," she said.
In contrast to the PRG and North
Vietnamese delegations, Fuller describ-
returi
ed the Saigon delegation as "terribly on
edge."
She felt this was because the South
Vietnamese knew that all the confer-
ence members opposed American in-
volvement in Vietnam and that "they
had been told that the only Americans
who opposed the war were long-haired
students. When they saw our straight
looking group they didn't know what to
think."
She s a i d the Saigon officials em-
phasized their call for a cease-fire in
South Vietnam. The PRG has opposed
a ceasefire until the United States sets
a date for the withdrawal of all its
forces from Indochina.
Although Fuller was not among the
12 conference members allowed to meet
Sfro I
with United States chief negotiatorI
vid Bruce, she was informed of the c4
versation.
Bruce had said that he was a ne
tiator and not a policy maker and I
he did not wish to discuss the histor:
the Indochina conflict.
Fuller met with several represen
tives of the "third force" in South Vi
nam - those who support neither
PRG nor the Saigon government -
cluding Buddist leader Thieh N:
Hahn, Au Truong Thanh, former e
nomics minister under the Ky gove
ment, now an exile in Paris, and v
representatives of Catholic anti-,
groups.
"Hahn stressed the need for ac
sation of killing on the part of b

sides in the war before the negotiating
of a political settlement of t h e con-
flict," Fuller said.
Thanh told the conference that form-
er South Vietnamese president General
"Big" Minh could win the presidential
election scheduled to take p la c e in
South Vietnam in Oct. 1971 "if the elec-
tions were not too rigged," Fuller said.
Minh was not allowed to run in the last
election and is now in exile.
It remains to be seen, Fuller noted,
whether or not he will be allowed to be
a candidate in October. Thanh felt that
the PRG would not refuse to negotiate
with Minh, as they have with the pres-
ent Saigon government.

THE FBI is making excellent progress in its investigation
of the recent Capitol bombing but is not yet ready to make any
arrests, a Congressional source reported yesterday.

appropriations subcommittee Wednesday "would bear out" a report
in the Washington Daily News yesterday that the FBI is about
