Show TT yr ' . J U.N. Talk May Pave. Viet Peace Path UNITED NATIONS The United States seems to be showing a little more interest in using the United Nations in any future talks about a peaceful settlement of the war in Viet Nam. Harlan the Cleveland, assistant retary for sec- oT state Beston interna- - tional organization affairs, said here publicly this, week that the secretary general of the U.N., U Thant, was available if the antagonists in Viet Nam had anything to say to. one another, and he added that the United Nations might well have a role in supervising any agreement on Viet Nam. Very Upset y This is something of a change. Not so long ago Secretary of State Dean Rusk was calling up the secretary general te tell him that President Johnson was very upset overthe secretary generals public report on his efforts to arrange peace talks on Viet Nam. . - Unfortunately, the outlook for useful talks is fairly gloomy. Last year, the leader of the North Vietnamese Communists, Ho Chi Minh, indicated to the U.N. that he was interested in talking to the United States about a settlement in Viet Nam. Not Interested ' This was passed on to Washington, which waited for two months before answering and then, after the presidential election, indicated that it was not interested. Recently, however, diploma- tic reports reaching here have indicated that Ho Chi Minh was losing influence in the North Vietnamese government and may even have been reg clique. placed by a Also, as the U.S. bombings of North Viet Nam have increased, the tone of the North Vietnamese broadcasts have become more hostile to the United States and to any conversations about a peaceful settlement. Still Searching Nevertheless, officials at the United Nations are still searching for some, new approach to a peaceful solution. They are legs hopeful than they were last autumn, but at least they have some ideas about how talks might be started. The first step, as they see it, is for the United States and North Viet Nam to talk privately and without any preconditions. As things are now, both sides are saying they wont talk unless the other side does what it is clearly not going to do. A Little Silly says it wont Washington talk unless Hanoi stops the war in South Viet Nam; the Communists say they wont talk unless the Americans leave the country altogether. This strikes U.N. officials as unrealistic if not a little silly. Meanwhlie, a waspish argu- ment has developed in the United States between those and who favor negotiations those who regard negotiations as a form of appeasement, while President Johnson proclaims that he will go anywhere to promote the cause of peace but says he sees no sign that Hanoi Is interested in peace. Private Talks Officials at the U.N. approach the problem in a different way. They dont see much chance of useful formal negotiations either, but they would like, to see some private . ; informal talks between United States and North Vietnamese diplomats in order to find out whether there is any point-i- n more formal conversations. There are several capitals where the United States and North Viet Nam have diplomatic missions Moscow, Paris, and Rangoon, for example and the thought here at the U.N. is that diplomats from Washington and Hanoi and Saigon if that seems feasible could at least try to find out whether the diplomatic prospects of an accommodation .are as gloomy as they seem in public:- - Balance of Power This might irritate the South. Vietnamese, but the talks could probably be held without changing the balance of military power on either side. This is the way other successful east-wenegotiations have started in the past. Thq negotiations leading to the lifting of the Soviet blockade of Berlin, for example, began with a , casual conversation between the U.S. and Soviet representatives in the delegates lounge here at the U.N. Similarly Secretary of State John Foster Dulles always believed that the truce in Korea was started in a private conversation he held with Indian officials in New Delhi. Ironic Aspects One of the ironic aspects of the Johnson administrations position here at the U.N. is that while the president feels the United States is trying to uphold the principles of the United Nations . charter . in States as more aggressive and more rigld In that war than the Communists. This is one reason why officials of the U.N. would like to see Mr. Johnson combine his military defense of South Viet Nam with an offer to explore the possibilities of a peaceful settlement. Better Understood They are not at all certain that such an offer would be accepted by the Communists; in fact, many of them are inclined to believe that it would be rejected. But in that event, they conclude, the U.S. policy of continuing the war would be better understood. Meanwhile, the report of the decline of Ho Chi Minhs au thority in North Viet Nam is a worrying factor here., It had been widely assumed that he was worried about Chinese domination of North Viet Nam and was opposed to calling for Chinese Communist manpower to help him except in the utmost extremity. Chinese Response If it is true, however, that he is now losing out to the elements in North Viet Nam, this could add to the prospect of a Chinese Communist response to increased U.S. bombing of targets above the 17th parallel. For all these reasons,' the U.N. officials favor talks not formal negotiations, not a big conference, but private exploratory conversations, without preliminary conditions on either side. to in themselves and find one left over.

It i s n T really new; its the old drudgery with the phrase prove tacked onto the problem. Needling, I find, is fatal in writing a column. I posed a ridiculous problem about coconuts and asked the new mathematicians to solve it and prove it quickly. Jt went like this: Five men are cast up on a desert island. The only vegetation is coconuts. They gather all the coconuts and pile them on the beach. In their work, they find a monkey and make a pet of him. All agree that they are too tired to divide the coconuts at once; it can wait until morning. They go to sleep on the beach. In the night, one. man awakens and decides to take his pile at once. One Left Over He divides the coconuts into five groups, finds one left over and gives it to the monkey. He returns to sleep. A second man awakens, and does the same thing. He divides the coconuts, finds one left over, which he throws to the monkey, buries his pile and pushes the remaining four piles together. Each of the men does this. In the morning, they pretend that the size of the pile has not diminished, and they divide . the coconuts... among sire to explore for the best contract, and he accordingly used the two club convention, which requests the no . trumper to show a major Suit 10 9 4 WEST EAST J6 52 10 8 2 A832 K95 4 K 10 7 5 QJ63 875 SOUTH AQ43 Q J3 Q 9 6 ' The bidding: Observe that, if North bids two spades it directly, would designate a hand containing less than eight points.

A pox on you, Mr. Bishop, for three sleepless night. Dorman Luke of West Palm Beach thinks the problem is simple. The answer, he says, is 19,531 coconuts. No, Mr. Luke. Not quite. J. H.

Joseph Vazalis of Baltimore says: I still have to use a second-hanadding machine to tot up bills in this house, but about that coconut snatching: I say the answer is one. The rest of the problem is just foliage intended to mislead and deceive. d Robert of McWilliams Sykesville, Md., says he keeps coming up with too many. E. G. Bidgood of Detroit says that, unknown to me, the monkey kept digging up the coconuts and returning them to the original pile. To Make Up , Use Hassel of Seattle says: Impossible. The only nut is you. Right, Miss Hassel. The problem is impossible, and I am the nut. I presented the insoluble to the new mathematicians to see if they could find an answer and more im- portant prove it. To solve this one, it would be necessary to work exclusively in numbers whose final digits remain six or one. There are five men, and it is necessary always to have one coconut left over for the monkey so, no matter how long the number. It must end in a six or a one and, after each pile is buried, the res must end maining in a six or one. It cant be done.

The registration figures prove nothing with regard to the character of the people involved, said Perez.

Youve got to bribe their preachers who control their votes. They come to the candidates and demand money. And for this you are going to condemn us. You dont know the facts. ; Finally spoke the racist of Plaquemines Parish: They, are of immoral character, they are a low type of citizenship. They are being well treated. They are being well taken care of. They have good schools. And we are being condemned here by your people who dont know anything about it.
