Peace talks face seating dispute amid table style debate
The Communists push for a square table to reflect equal status for the NLF, while the United States favors two long tables to symbolize two sides. Allies reject the NLF as Hanoi’s tool, a compromise option of a round table appears unlikely to prevent separate delegations. South Vietnamese contingents arrive by noon Sunday with a gala rally planned, as W Averell Harriman returns from Washington. Weeks or months of procedural debate lie ahead before real issues emerge and a slow path to compromise begins.
