Peace Talks Halt As Antiwar Rally Delays Vietnam Conference
Paris AP United States indefinitely postponed the next meeting of the Vietnam peace conference because of an antiwar rally in Versailles expected to draw about 1200 delegates from around 80 countries including the United States. U S Ambassador William J Porter denounced the Versailles gathering as a horde of Communist controlled agitation and said the side does not wish to fix a date for the next meeting, awaiting how soon it may be desirable. North Vietnam criticized Nixon's World Message while the United States charged the Communists fear elections in South Vietnam and accused them of deceit on POW issues as Vy, standing in for Xuan Thuy, warned the plan is not designed for acceptance by the other side.
