Ex Premier Urges US Lead for Peace in Viet Nam
Tran Van Huu, former South Viet Nam premier under Bao Dai, told reporters in New York that the United States must initiate a truce to pave talks with the Viet Cong’s National Liberation Front. He urged Washington to negotiate with the Front, noted distrust in U S officials toward Ho Chi Minh, and warned self exiled Vietnamese face visa refusals. He also described South Viet Nam’s forthcoming election as a diversion and recalled his role in Ky’s rise after founding a military school in 1951.
