Valley of South Viet Nam ran| into a fight tonight near the} Cambodian frontier. | A U.S. spokesman aaid North By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP)--In the context of today's ever-more- bloody Viet Nam conflict, the United tates rejection last year of peace talks with the Commu- nists is just another of those might-have-beens littering most war histories. All signs continue to point to a long, hard struggle, perhaps lasting years. The official U.S. reason for rejecting an initiative engi- neered by Secretary-General U Thant of the United Nations is that "on the basis of the ee not believe at any time that North Viet Nam was prepared for serious peace talks," effect of has been to hrs Serades sont the sin- tiated Viet Nam peace. It also stiffened the small but vocal domestic dissent to Amer- ican policy. The dissenters have been planning a big protest demonstration here Nov. 27. Vietnamese troops put up stiff resistance to a southward march of the paratroopers near the frontier and inflicted light casualties. Heavy fire held up the paratroopers, part of a South Vietnamese regiment be- ing committed to the valley bat- tle. The American cavalrymen, Hanoi Peace Bid that saults during the night, re- ported a relatively quiet day. Moving out from a position just outside. the valley in the remote highlands near the Cam- bodian border, the Americans reported 21 of the enemy had been killed and one captured during the night and today. The U.S. troops suffered light casualties, a spokesman, adding the latest revised toll brought to 1,207 the number of North Vietnamese dead since Refused, And So? the battle began Sunday. During the night the North Vietnamese fired mortars and small arms into the three main American positions and stormed them in platoon to company strength. The Americans, en- ward flow of North Vietnamese regular troops, anxious appar- ently to tangle with the U.S. troops who are approaching 200,000 in number. Despite recurring reports here and there of Hanoi's will- ingness to talk, observers say it is never clear just how stiff Hanoi's conditions are--for ex- ample, whether U.S. troop with- drawals would be immediate or gradual. A common view is that Hanoi, with China's backing, is keeping just enough fire under the peace talk pot to "keep the universi- ties boiling' and erode U.S. a. evidence available to us, we did) stamin: The same sources venture also that the U.S., contrary to some current reports, is not stiffening its own bargaining, position and probably has no clear - cut program to plunk They see logic in another cur- tent theory that the war may end in a whimper rather than any bang of surrender or peace negotiations. any one it inelu also trenched in deep foxholes, fought them off.

Despite President Joh 's July 28 statement that "we are ready now, as we always have been, to move to the conference table," diplomats here suggest such readiness was not that ap- parent last September. They repeat that Jast April 7 the U.S. pulled an abrupt policy switch. On that day the presi- dent in a speech pledged the U.S. to "unconditional discus- sions," coupled with a huge aid program for Southeast Asia. But if the North Viet Nam Communists were sincere last September about being willing to talk peace, these same sources say, there is no evidence they still feel that way. Their demands still include |withdrawal of American troops and a North-South settlement based on the program of the Communist-led National Libera- tion Front. U.S. reluctance to negotiate last September is being attrib- uted to three main facts: --The South Viet Nam mili- tary position was so bad that defeat seemed inevitable and the U.S. bargaining position untenable. --Any move to the conference table might have brought col- lapse of the South Vietnamese government of the day. --President Johnson was locked in an election cam- paign with Republican Barry Goldwater who was urging attacks on the North.
