Brown Seen Set To Make ~ Peace Bid By TOM HOGE UNITED NATIONS (AP)-- ite Communist. rejections, Bri Foreign Secretary George Brown was expected to for his Viet Nam peace plan te- day in a general policy speech o" the UN General Assem- informants said Brown also would deal with other interna- tional issues and would stress the role of a strong, unified Western Europe as a force for Peace. North Viet Nam and China re- jected Brown's peace proposals in broadcasts today and re- peated their demand for with- drawal of U.S. troops. The foreign secretary sought American reaction to his plan at a meeting Monday with U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Gold- berg. Goldberg later told reporters the United States was giving "very thoughtful consideration" to Brown's proposals. Goldberg expressed hope this "sober con- sideration will be matched by equally thoughtful consideration in Hanoi and other capitals." ESCU Brown earlier conferred with Foreign Secretary Corneliu Ma- nescu of Romania, the member of the Soviet bloc which has re- tained the closest relations with Peking. Brown arranged to confer a second time with Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko later today in an apparent effort to get Russia to soften its position on his peace efforts. Gromyko con- ferred in Washington Monday with President Johnson on John- son's proposals for improving relations between the United States and Russia. Gromyko Saturday turned down Brown's proposal that the Soviet Union and Britain, as co- chairmen of the 1954 Geneva conference on Indochina, set up a new Geneva parley to nego- tiate peace for Viet Nam. The Soviet Union has repeat- edly rebuffed British requests for a new conference in the Jast two years, contending that it could not act unless North Viet Nam requested it to do so.

United Nations this year, with con{inuing attacks on white supremacy.

Denouncing the court ruling as a betrayal of the mandate's 500,000 blacks, African leaders persuaded the General Assem- bly to air their protests on South-West Africa in tandem weic ilim with its general policy debate. The traditional statements of policy by heads of government and foreign ministers, which usually dominate the opening weeks, were limited to the morning sessions of ihe 238- ati GosemNIy, AliesiiveNS were given over to attacks on South Africa's administration of the territory once governed under a League of Nations man- date.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sov- fet Foreign Minister Gromyko says after meeting with Pres- ident Johnson that it looks as if Russia and the United States "are striving to reach agree- ment" on a treaty to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons --and the state department agrees with him. Soviet-American talks on the non-proliferation question prob- ably will resume in New York within a few days. After Gromyko met Johnson at the White House for an hour and 45 minutes and had a 2%- hour dinner meeting with State Secretary Rusk at the state de- partment, sources said both sides are in agreement that a non-proliferation agreement is desirable. In general, under such a non- proliferation treaty, the nuclear countries would agree not to sell or give away nuclear weap- ons. And under the international pact, non - nuclear countries would agree not to acquire such weapons. troops in Europe was brought up, he said "I did not mention troops in Europe." Contrary to frequent prac- tice, the subjects discussed were not disclosed. Also con- trary to frequent practice when the president confers with hich |foreign officials, Gromyko en- |tered and left the White House by a door remote from the lobby where reporters were waiting. Gromyko made no effort to avoid reporters as he left the state department: after his din- ner meeting with Rusk. Johnson had set the stage for the meeting in a speech in New iYork last Friday when he called for reduction of forces in Central Europe, announced a reduction in export controls on East - West trade and said, bloc voted for the resolution while Canada, the United States, Britain and France were among the abstainers. South Africa and Portugal voted against it. The i uti id ion was ed certain to win General Assem- bly approval since all UN mem- bers are represented on the committee. The issue comes up again when the assembly's special political committee, its No. 2 debating body, considers a UN report on apartheid. The 35 African nations on the firing line are supported by most of the 27 Asian members and the 10-nation Soviet bloc. Guinea has called on the UN to take over the mandate "by force if necessary." African orators accused the United States, Britain and France "of running guns to South Africa. The Ivory Coast asserted that the big powers had shown too much weakness on South-West Africa, "a weak- ness we consider complicity." The Soviet Union also came under attack, as petitioners from nationalist organizations in South-West Africa appeared before the trusteeship commit- tee. One charged that the Krem- lin had abandoned its militant stand of the past and was taking a conciliatory attitude toward imperialism-on the dark conti- nent. jamong other statements clearly jintended as overtures for better jrelations, that he would press \for early congressional action jon a pending U.S.-Soviet consu- j\lar agreement. | Johnson also spoke optimis- |tically on concluding a civil air Gromyko's meetings with/asreement with Russia and Johnson and Rusk provided fresh evidence that a new era of friendly relations is opening up between the U.S. and the jnoted that the two countries jhave begun to exchange photo- graphs taken from their} Coverage By Press Irks MDs SAN FRANCISCO (AP Surgeons talked Monday of glass and rubber heart replace- ments, battery - powered im- plantable pacemakers for ail- ing hearts, and metal implants in bone surgery. The American College of Surgeons clinical congress heard reports of great progress in the last 15 years. But they also heard warnings that people are being led to expect too much far too soon from me- chanical replacements for ail- ing organs. "Development problems of mechanical total heart replace- ment are simply enormous," said Dr. Adrian Kantrowitz of Brooklyn, N.Y., a pioneering specialist in the field. "No power source is known or even contemplated that can be put inside the patient," Kan- trowitz said. "Yet a power source is a simple problem compared with many others that must be solved. I don't think we should even talk about total replacement." Dr. Kantrowitz told reporters at the meeting, '"The press has not been careful enough with use of words like 'artificial heart.'

Australia 1s me ira iargest foreign coniributor to the Viet Nam war effort, an indication of its emergence since the Sec- ond World War as a political and economic force in Asia. Before the Japanese gobbled up Southeast Asia, Australia had little or no contact with the area it called the Far East. To- day the Far East is called the Near North and Australians are aware of what is going on among the 1,500,000,000 persons who live within 4,000 miles of the land down under. The Aussies have 4,500 troops in South Viet Nam, a large air base at Butterworth near Pe- nang on the west coast of Ma- laysia and jet fighter units in northeast Thailand. Australia has maintained 4,000 men in Malaysia for almost 10 years. They first helped put down the Communist terrorist movement in the *50s and later fought Indonesian guerrillas in the confrontation between Ma- laysia and Indonesia. BOOST ASIAN TRADE But it is in the field of trade that the Australians are making the biggest impact. Asia now accounts for 30 per cent of Aus- 10 years trade with Asia has leaped to $1,580,000,000 from $620,000,000. : Japan accounts for 45 per cent of this trade. It is Aus- iraiia's Dest customer after Britain. i Although Australia has a pop- ulation of only 12,000,000 it is starting to export capital and invest it in joint ventures in Asia, notably in Malaysia, Thai- land and the Philippines. In two decades Australia has handed out close to $1,000,000,000 in aid to Asian countries under such schemes as the Colombo Plan and the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization. Australia gives its aid as_no-strings-at- tached grants which do not have to be repaid.
