Show mrs by Bil Keane 2-- T By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER - The WASHINGTON (AP) i'as Nixon administration committed itself to a double track program for gradually reducing the U.S. combat role in Vietnam even if the Paris peace talks fail. Administration leaders are trying to tell North Vietnam and the Viet Cong, however, that if they want to get United States forces out of South Vietnam quickly and completely they will have to make a negotiated settlement. The prevfdling belief in official quarters here is that thousands of troops will be brought home this year. "Hi, Dadd! Remember, you dont have to spend a million to look like a million.

"These efforts are well under way. They will be carried out systematically and urgently. At the same time Rogers made two points which appeared to be directed to the country. He said the United States "is committed to achieving a peace in Vietnam which will jiermit the people of South Vietnam to determine their own future, free from outside interference by anyone. it "That is our objective is not subject to change."

Ilis summary of the situation appeared to confirm reports here and in Paris that the administration has not yet set up the secret negotiations President Nixon said are needed to negotiate an end to the war. In indicating the alternative to a negotiated settlement Rogers went beyond the position outlined in much broader terms by Nixon at bis news conference last Friday.
