UPI White House Reporter
WASHINGTON-Nor- th
Vietnam offered
Wednesday to talk with the United States
alxmt arrangements for Vietnam peace negotiations and President Johnson accepted
the offer.
The President announced the United
States "will establish contact with the
of North Vietnam" and said he
would fly to Honolulu, Hawaii, late Thursday for a long weekend of conferences with
American officials who will fly there from
Saigon.
"Consultations with the government of
South Vietnam and other allies are now
taking place," the President told newsmen
at the White House.
The Pentagon said Defense Secretary
Clark Clifford and Gen. Earle C. Wheeler,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will
accompany the President to Hawaii.
White I louse Press Secretary George Christian said Secretary of State Dean Rusk,
currently attending a conferenceofthe Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in
Wellington, New Zealand would probably
be coining in from New Zealand in time to
join the talks in Honolulu.
He said President Nguyen Van Thieu of
South Vietnam was not expected to par-

ticipate.

Washington raised peace hopes everywhere.
They were seen as small but significant
steps toward preliminary diplomatic discussions that could lead to an end of the war.
Mr. Johnson did not say now contact
would be made with North Vietnam, or
when or where.
Geneva, Switzerland, was considered a
likely site. The President already has said
his prime negotiators in the event North
Vietnam chose to resxmd to his curtailment
e
of the bombing raids would be
W. Averell Harriman and Llewellyn E. Thompson, U.S. ambassador to
the Soviet Union.
Mr. Johnson saw Mr. Harriman Wednesday and is to confer with Thompson,
who is home for consultations, on Thursday.
The White House said the Honolulu meetings were for "the Americans only" and
that they would not constitute "a summit
or anything like that. Press Secretary George
Christian said "I do not know of anything
at the moment" about any other possible
stops Mr. Johnson might make on his trip.
Whether any other figure would join
the negotiating team was unknown.
There was no word from Moscow or
any other world capital Wednesday to shed
any light on the President's specific plans.
But it was obvious that Mr. Johnson, after
a full and hectic day of urgent assessments.

considered the Hanoi statement tube genuine
enough to warrant a serious rcsonse.
The President had a lengthy afternoon
meeting with his leading advisers and then
went out to a White House drivevvav before
a battery of cameras, microphones and newsmen.
He read a statement quoting from an official U.S. government translation of an
English-languag- e
broadcast of the North
Vietnamese government statement that followed a Vietnamese language broadcast of
the same statement, which began at 9:33
a.m. EST.
The President said:

"Today the government of North Vietnam
made a statement which included the following paragraph:
'However for its part, the government
of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam declares its readiness to appoint its representative to contact the United States representative with a view to determining with
the American side the unconditional cessation of the United States bombing raids
and all other acts of w ar against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam so that talks
may start.'

Law Panel Discusses
Civil Disorders Bill
By LIZ WARD
Civil tli sorrier and a new statute governing justice and freedom in this legal urea got a
thorough working over from
inemlxTS of the Lexington-Fayett- e
County Human Rights Commission and a large group of
citizens Wednesday night at City
Hall.

Senate Bill 191, enacted by
the last Cencral Assembly, in
effect repeals the present law
regarding breach of peace, a

charge frequently assailed for its
vagueness. Hut just how much
of a step forward the new statute
is was questioned strongly by
members of a panel and certain
citizens in the audience.
Panel members Lawrence Tar-peUK professor of economics
and president of the Kentucky
Chapter of the American Civil
LilxTties Union, and Robert Seri-leUK law professor and an attorney for the ACLU, said the
bill was a start, but added that
certainly it has its dangers and
may require a watchdog group
in cases concerning demonstrations which might be construed
as inciting to riot.
One improvement of the new
statute is that it states intent to
commit certain offenses lumped
under disorderly conduct must be
established, a feature the old law
does not have.
Secondly, it sets out more
specifically just what comprises
disorderly conduct and defines
the various offenses more concretely than does the present law.
But several Negro citizens
present expressed the belief that
one section of the statute, which
defines unlawful assembly, is
much too broad and leaves police
officers t(X) much opportunity to
arrest jxrsons assembled for
peaceful demonstration.

In Boston, about 200 persons
turned in draft cards at a demonstration on the Boston Common
Ix'fore a crowd of about 12,000.
The cards were sent to presi-denticandidate Robert F. Kennedy, rather than to the Justice
Department as is usual. Three
persons also turned in induction
papers.
In San Francisco, draft resis-ter- s
from throughout the bay
area turned in 141 draft cards
to 92 women, 13 clergymen, and
12 veterans who will mail them
to the Justice Department and
state that they aided the draft
resist ers. About 2,000 persons at- -

Building in San Francisco.
In New York, 80 cards were
turned in at a demonstration
before a crowd of 2,500 in Central Park. Another 501 persons
signed cards indicating their complicity with the resisters. Four
cards were turned in at Man-hasson Long Island Tuesday
and about 20 cards are expected
to be turned in at a demonstration in Ithaca, on Friday.
As expected, there was an
increase over the number of cards
turned in in December, probably
due primarily to the abolition of
graduate student deferments, but

this war to an end.'
"Accordingly, we will establish contact with the representatives of North Vietnam. Consultations with the government of
South Vietnam and other allies

After reading the brief statement from a single sheet of yellow paper, Mr. Johnson said:
"So you may have as much

with U.S. allies in the Far Fast.

The Hanoi statement differed
little in its Vietnamese and

North Vietnam was at last ready

to discuss the conditions of possible formal negotiations in the
future for a political settlement

The mood among administration officials was predominantly

Spring Election
To nobody's surprise, dismay,
regret, or even interest, it is once
again Student Government Election Time. Traditionally this
Saturnalia to the democratic process has been a time of protracted

Everything is changed this year,
however. There is only one serious
contender for the office of Presi

dent and his platform is a "take-it-as-- it
comes" affair of little consequence. There will be no heated
discussions or lavish campaigns
this year, nor will any voter even
e
whatever promises may
be made. Student Government is
in the process of atrophying itself
out of existence and everybody
knows it. The rats and crew have
d
deserted, and only the

with the long overdue Good Ship
Lollipop.

Here Is Where We Part"

By David Holwerk

Back to A & M
The five hundred or so students who
worked up energy or interest enough to
come and watch the University lose its
president weren't terribly disappointed.
They showed up to hold signs, chant such
catchy phrases as "We Want Oswald!"
and listening to the Student Government
Vice President inarticulately shout over
a bullhorn. They knew that Oswald was
leaving, that it was a big event, and
that they should make some kind of showing for the occasion. As far as understanding just what was happening, they might
as well have stayed in the Student Center Grille or gone to class.
The few of them who crowded into
the cool, quiet room where the Board
of Trustees meets saw the pressures of
four hectic years culminate in a quiet,

dignified act of resignation. They heard
Board members express their regret at the
resignation, they heard Governor Nunn
set in motion the machinery for picking
y
a successor, but they did not hear
express any semblance of surprise.
It had been coming for long time and
the only people who didn't know it
