Back after an absence of more than five weeks, Le Due Tho, reputed strongman of Hanoi's delegation here and a member of the ruling Politburo at home, read an airport statement accusing the United States of responsibility for delay in the conference. "The United States govern- dent must immediately agree to hold the four-party conference, originally set for Nov. 6," Tho said. The United States was forced to seek postponment of the new round of talks because South Vietnam refused to attend. U.S.

and South Vietnamese officials are still trying to work out a formula under which Saigon would send a delegation. Adhering to North Vietnam's propaganda line on this point, Tho said President Johnson was forced to declare an unconditional bombing halt in order to get an enlarged parley including South Vietnam and the Viet Cong's National Liberation Front as well as Hanoi and Washington Represntative But the broadened conference set for Nov. 6 did not get under way because "the U.S. government speaks with one voice and acts with another," Tho charged. Tho was met at Le Bourget Airport by Xuan Thuy, nominally head of the Hanoi delegation at the peace talks, but outranked by Tho, who is listed as delegation adviser.

The gray-haired, elegantly dressed North Vietnamese leader also was welcomed by Mrs. Nguyen Thi Binh, head of the NLF delegation, and the Soviet .01 ambassador to France, Valerian I Zorin. Mrs. Binh, missing no opportunity to stress her claim to status as head of independent delegation, arrived in an official French government car bearing the NLF's starred red-blue flag. 26 09 WASHINGTON (AP) The National Transportation Safety Board, charged with probing all faral air crashes, has lifted a that sealed the lips of investigators for more than a quarter century.

The board confirmed Friday that an order put into effect without publicity Oct. 23 structed its 11 field ofices to make public promptly any fac- jtual information about aircraft accidents in their area. The field closest to the accident, and therefore (he best have been almost completely under wraps, Under the old "part 311" pf regulations of the Civil Aeronautics Board, they were allowed only to tell newsmen the name of the pilot, identify the plane as to type and say whether the accident was fatal. Beyond that they could only refer questioners to CAB headquarters in Washington, a process that could delay detailed information on crashes for days. in effect, instructions from safety Board Chairman Joseph J.

O'Connell are to give the tacts openly, freely and in an above-board manner, but not to get involved in speculation as to what happened or as to the causes of an accident. "Our business in investigating is the collection of useful information as to aircraft accidents," O'Connell told the field men. "This information is no unless we disseminate it. The gag rule is inconsistent with the whole concept of accident prevention." Field officers are instructed ret to wait to be queried about an accident but to telephone news media immediately on mch an occurrence. Mt.

REDS USING DMZ ZONE AT BRISK RATE (Continued From Page One) Trustees Cut Illinois Budget URBANA, 111. (AP) Trus toes of the University of Illinois voted Friday to cut budget re quests lor the 1969-71 bionnium and to grant greater voting rights to sludent representatives on some internal affairs of the university. The budget requests were trimmed from the $.192.5 million submitted a month ago to $133.5 million at Ihe recommendation of the Illinois Board of Higher Education. A major legislative change was voted to give greater voting rights to student representatives on such matters as disciplinary procedures, educational policies and other internal affairs. The amendment to the statutes allows the important policy-making faculty senates to extend voting rights and floor debate to student representatives on measures which come before the full faculty body.

In submitting the original budget requests to the trustees, Dr. David Dodds Henry, president of the universty, said the $192.5 miliion for the thre campuses was basod on its needs for facilities on projected enrollment data for 1974-75. The revised budget requests are considered adequate to meet; only the most critical capital construction needs through 197273, Dr. Henry said. cial news agency charged that fl 1 1 f.L*, U.S.

(AP) Beating human hearts have been stored up to nine hours in a chamber designed to keep the organ alive until needed for transplant, perhaps in a distant city, it was reported today to, the American Heart Association. Promising results with the technique of a portable heart bank were described at the association's 41st annual scientific session by Dr. Edward B. Diethrich of Baylor University College of Medicine.

Diethrich said the method involves storing the heart and the lungs of the doner in a battery- powered chamber. Although chemical tests indicated the hearts functioned well after nine hours, none has been used in any human transplant, the doctor said. Dog hearts preserved longer than 14 hours have shown "excellent recuperabiliy" when transplanted to other animals, Diethrich reported. Diethrich has been working on the unit in Houston with Dr. John E.

Liddicoat and Dr. Michael E. DeBakey. Without such a means of storage, surgeons will use a heart taken from a donor no longer than an hour after death. .19 Research Sub Dives 5 Feet MIAMI, Fla.

Arab Jerusalem Is Under Curfew JERSUALEM (AP) The Arab sector of the Holy City remained quiet under a tough curfew today while Israeli investigators probed Friday's market blast that killed 12 persons and injured more than 50 including at least 17 seriously injured.

The curfew, imposed at 8 p.m. Friday, was to remain in effect indefinitely. Border troops and police pa- tiftled the narrow streets in the old walled city and the wide thcroughfares of the new business sector.

Only scattered ground fighting was reported in South Vietnam today. U.S. military spokesmen said fire from an eight-inch howitzer killed 14 enemy troops and upset an ambush in the central lowlands about 330 miles north east of Saigon.

The spokesmen said an enemy unit opened up on a mine sweeping party of engineers from the Americal Division. The big gun moved up, fired at nearly point blank range, and scattered the attackers, the spokesmen said. BRITAINS ANGERED BY TAX BOOSTS (Continued From Page One) Strike Settled even the American dollar. For months some -countries have been urging West Germany to revalue the mark higher in terms of foreign currency. But Germany, feeling itself rich financially but small diplomatically, has declined to do this.

There have been indications that Germany views its strong mark as a lever with which to pry diplomatic concessions from its Western allies. Some monetary experts contend the franc would be saved if the mark is revalued upward. They point out that De Gaulle holds cards the West Germans might desire: the admission of Britain into the Common Market, re-entry into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's military arm, a reduction in efforts to cement relations with the East European countries which want Germany to remain divided. GRANITE CITY, 111. (AP) Members of Local 50 of the International Chemical Workers Union approved by about a 3-1 margin Friday a contract ending an 8-week-old strike at the Gi anile City Steel Co.

The vote came in two sessions at the Granite City Labor Temple. Union members, workers in the blast furnace department, voted 391 for the contract and 148 against it, said Frank Ronco, business agent for Local 50. About 1,000 workers had been on strike. Gninite City Steel offered the ICWU a Ihree-year contract, that would raise pay by about 51 cents an hour over the span of the contract, a company spokes- mcn said. The spokesmen said the pact was a basic one for the entire steel industry.

Federal Mediation and Conciliation officer Bernard O'Keefe said the pact also included improvements in holiday, vacation insurance and pension plans. He said the total increase amounted to about 90 cents an hour. A company spokesman said Granite City Steel would start calling employes immediately to return to work. The spokesman said it would be at least a week before the company could go into production. CHURCHES 2ND GENERAL BAPTIST CHURCH 3rd St.
