SOUGHT Hanoi Gives No Assurances By JOHN AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON Ml The announced U.S search for clarification of Hanoi's terms hasn't produced any assurances so far that would lead the

North Vietnam's position They are reportedly seeking firm tions that cessation of U.S bombing attacks would produce not only prompt talks but also a halt in the flow of North Vietnamese troop to South Vietnam Exact U.S aims have not been spelled out officially and Secretary of State Dean Rusk made clear at a Jan 4 news ence he had no intention of giving a detailed accounting of the U.S price for stopping the bombing The State Department has responded with an almost daily no comment since the Rusk news conference to inquiries about what results were being obtained through diplomatic probes

Tex speech wax that the United States would stop all aerial and naval bombardment of North Vietnam when this will lead promptly to productive discussions And he added America assumed North Vietnam would not take advantage of such a bombing cessation U.S officials said diplomatic soundings so far have failed to bring these two tions closer together From the U.S point of view North Vietnam has not met the requirement that a bombing halt would lead promptly to productive discussions though Washington officials haven't explained Continued on Page 9 Column 5 VS GETS N Viets Pouring Troops Into
