United Nations Urges End to Bombing North Vietnam
At the United Nations, Communist and neutral nations pressed for an unconditional halt to U.S. bombing of North Vietnam while President Johnson rejected such a pause. Thant continues to push a three point plan including a halt, slower military activity, and Viet Cong participation in peace talks. Hanoi and Peking condemn the plan as a ploy to keep bases in Southeast Asia. A U.S. spokesman tied Johnson’s stance to Goldberg's Sept. 21 proposal for a supervised phased withdrawal with matching Hanoi steps. Senator Hartke urged suspending bombing as essential for talks.
