James Reston reports from Washington that the administration wants talks with North Vietnam on Hanoi’s peace proposals but remains wary, viewing the plan as a possible invitation to surrender. Officials hope preliminary talks could lead to a broader agenda to limit fighting while negotiations proceed. Johnson's Hawaii trip aims to refine negotiating instructions amid post Westmoreland changes and de escalation policy.
