Kosygin urges halt to arms flow to South Vietnam
Soviet Premier Kosygin urged Hanoi to stop troops and arms to South Vietnam as a step toward peace talks. Diplomats say Ho Chi Minh ignored the plea, leading to renewed American air raids and stalled Soviet British peacemaking efforts during Kosygin's Britain visit. Wilson and advisers still seek a promise to halt reinforcements, with hopes a small move could activate a broader peace plan. Observers note about 100000 North Vietnamese troops and about 100000 Chinese forces in North Vietnam complicate any cutoff of supplies.
