Lodge Leaves Talks Ends Key U S Role at Vietnam Peace Talks
Henry Cabot Lodge departed the Paris sessions amid failure and rancor after ten months and 45 plenaries.

The issue of prisoners of war shifted briefly as Thuy proposed releasing patriots in the South or sending others to the North or demarcation line.

NATO Ministers Challenge East Bloc To Cut Troops
In Brussels fourteen NATO foreign ministers urged discussion of mutual troop reductions to show the Soviet bloc’s seriousness about a European security conference. France stayed aloof, opposing NATO-Warsaw Pact troop cuts and the division of Europe into blocs. The ministers wrapped up a declaration on East-West relations and the Soviet bloc call for a Pan European conference within six months. Maurice Schumann of France objected to recognizing the East German regime and to any rejection implying acceptance of bloc negotiations. Warsaw Pact members offered cautious praise for Bonn’s new government, warning against overconfidence.
