P O W Release Delay Shows Paris Talks Strain
In Paris on Wednesday US Secretary of State Rogers pressed North Vietnam Foreign Minister Tran Duy Trinh for an explanation of Hanoi's delay in releasing more POWs. The Rogers Trinh meeting, part of efforts to endorse the January 27 Vietnam peace settlement, was seen as pivotal to the four party foreign ministers conference. Delegates hoped the crisis would clear for a final declaration by Friday as South Vietnam and Vietcong officials discussed grave violations of the agreement. A North Vietnamese colonel arrived in Saigon with a list of POWs to be released in Hawaii, signaling ongoing prisoner negotiations.
