Kissinger, who returned here from Washington Tuesday morning, disclosed the continuing deadlock after nearly five hours of discussions with Tho in a villa at St. Norn la Breteche, west of Paris. . much-violate- d Dashing hopes that the new ceasefire arrangement could be signed and sealed Tuesday, Kissinger told reporters after the meeting: We will meet again tomorrow at 1200 (noon local time). For the second time in four days, everything had been set at the International Conference Center in Paris for the formal signing of the joint communique which Washington and Hanoi hope will implement the ceasefire called in Janu- ary. The talks were broken off at that time to allow the Vietnamese parties to reflect on the situation. Saigon Raises Objections The action was aimed primarily at the Saigon government w hich, American officials here said, raised last minute objections to an agreement Kissinger and Tho had worked out to make the ceasefire more effective. According to reports from Saigon, there were three main difficulties. Just a Tantalizer But when Kissinger was asked about a possible meeting with Tho at the conference center, he replied enigmatically: This is just a tantalizer.

Sirica Tuesday refused torestrict news coverage of the Senate Watergate hearings. Archibald Cox, the special Watergate prosecutor who asked for the restrictions, said he would live with the decision and would not appeal it. I regret the outcome, but to press the legal argument further would risk unduly delaying proceedings and divert attention from our essential tasks, Cox said in a statement. Sirica ruled in connection with a request from the Senate Watergate committee for immunity from prosecution for ousted White House counsel John W. Dean III and Jeb Stuart Magrucer, for- mer deputy director of President Nixon's committee.

In another ruling, Sinca ordered Dean to testify before a federal grand jury investigating the Watergate affair. Dean apparently resumed negotiations immediately with the Watergate prosecutors over an arrangement under which he would testify. Dean and his attomevs met with the Watergate prosecutors for two and a half hours after Siricas decision. In a major Pravda article. Tass correspondent Gennady Shishkin1 reported that Alexander Brown, a Cincinnati, Ohio, businessman, said, Leonid Brezhnev is well known in the United States as a statesman who has made a great personal contribution to stronger understanding between the U.S.S.R. and the United States, which had strained relations for a long time.

Sirica granted immunity for both men for testimony before the Senate committee, meaning they cannot be prosecuted for anything they say before the committee unless prosecutors can develop the evidence independently. Sirica said that to rule on the issue of news coverage would be beyond the scope of the U.S. district court.

The opium can be turned into morphine, ard then either into codeine, or heroin. Pays Turkey $35 Million shortage looms because The the Nixon administration is paying Turkey $35 million not to grow poppies at all, even for legal medical use. Turkey has been one source of legal opium, but also a source of heroin finding its way to the United States, The poppy curb is an example of but disputable political action to cut off a source of heroin, say Drs. Linwood Tice and John H. Moyer of Philadelphia. V 0 well-mea- It will probably make no significant difference in the activities of the underworld and their illicit importation and sale of heroin, they write in the publication, Internal Medicine News. From the Golden Triangle Much heroin comes from the so called Golden Triangle of Southeast Asia, the countries of Burma, Thailand, and Laos, Reed says. These countries are not signatories to an international agreement to produce legal opium under controlled conditions, as is India, and as Turkey was. India produces about 83 percent of the opium used legally, but the loss of Turkey's 20 percent is enough to initiate a threatened critical shortage, particularly of codeine, it is explained. Consumption has rioen sharply in recent years, and is still rising. Codeine is used to relieve mild to moderate pain, such as accompanies influenza, inflammations, bursitis and postpostsurgical childbirth pain, Kidney stones, bums, and tooth extractions. osteoarthritis, Runs Out on May 9 The Penick company ran out ot opium has enough to maintain present production of codeine for But we are the about nine months, May 9. Merck & Co. smaller of the producers and cannot pick up their slack and meet the courtrys needs. If India doesnt plant more poppies, there will truly be a shortage, a Merck official said. A spokesman for the third bulk producer of codeine, the Malhnckrodt Chemical Worxs in St. Louis, said, There is no question but that we are in short supply of opium. We are uncertain how long we can supply finished goods. It could be that sometime this fall we could be at a point where we could no longer supply total demands of customers. The bulk producers met Monday in of Pain 9 with a task force reviewing federal opium policies, urging release of some opium from the governWashington high-lev- ments stockpile, totaling about 400 tons, to reliev e the short-terproblem. . The stockpile, plus continuing imports, could take care of U.S. needs for about two years, giving time to work out a program to secure a continuing and sufficient supply of legal opium, Reed said. The task force made no immediate decision on the request. Codeme is still considered by authori- tative medical opinion as the drug of choice foi mild to moderate pain. V |
