Bruce Heads for Paris With No New Proposals
UPI reports David Bruce, Nixon's Vietnam peace negotiator, will reach Paris by week end to test Hanoi and Viet Cong arguments. He has briefed in Saigon, met South Vietnamese leaders wary of Nixon's flexible stance, and brings no new U.S. proposals. Washington doubts early progress.
