The British Foreign Secretary (Mr. Michael Stewart) today appealed for a conference on Vietnam, and called for a speedy end to the fighting.

Mr.

Stewart, reviewing the Government's record on foreign affairs at the Labor party conference here, said: "Let us have a conference, whether it be the (1954) Geneva Conference (on Indo-Chlna) recalled or under any other auspices If pared to go to Vietnam or anywhere else as soon as the doors in both Hanoi and The sources said if the stalemate on withdrawal continues there would be not rciung opened to receive it. nan nhtnlnea. the; Di hp It had been suggested that Britain should disassociate itself from the United Let us speedily, either policies in Vietnam alternative except bo regard the current positions as permanent.

"That Is going to be our policy. "Now It's up to the Imperialists (the United States). "We're going to see what they do, and we hope that our people are In agreement with this Idea." Dr. Castro promised that those wishing to leave would be able to do so "with full guarantees." In another surprise announcement, he said that "in a few days" he would explain what had become of the Minister for Industry (Mr. Ernesto (Che) Guevara) The Argentine-born Guevara disappeared mysteriously from public In March, following his return from prolonged tour of African countries.

Although Dr. Castro mentioned Mr. Guevara's name and said he would read a "document" from Mr. Guevara, he gave no clue as to what the document contained or where Mr. Guevara has been for the past six months.

He said only that it explained Mr. Guevara's absence, he said. He said boats would be made available to Cubans who wanted to go to the United States. More than- 8000 escapes from Cuba have been recorded since 1961, according to the Cuban refugee centre in Miami. Dr.

Castro did not give any reason for the new policy. He said people wanting to leave would nave to seek permission from the Interior Ministry. In a radio television speech from Havana's Revolutionary Square, monitored' In Miami, Dr. Castro said: "We are not going to force people to like our revolution and our socialism, nor do we have any reason to do so." He said the small northern port of Camarioca, would be converted into a special embarkation point. "Our policy" "No one will have to go Into hiding, and we will make available Ashing boats," he said.

Adrei Gromyko). Britain and the Soviet Union are co-chairman of the 1954 Geneva Conference on Indo-China. Large sums Both Britain and the United States were prepared, once any peaceful settlement seemed possible, to give large sums of money towards the rehabilitation of Vietnam, Mr. Stewart said. Let South and North Vietnam be genuinely neutral with no foreign troops and no foreign bases, he added.

If this position was arrived at, the country could then move on to free elections from which could emerge a Government which genuinely represented the wishes of the people. -This in turn could lead to the South and North near and cheers from the body of the hall.

DEPTHS TOUGHER THAN SPACE The came as sporadic clashes between Indian and Pakistani troops continued in spite of the ceasefire agreement and the new UN demand that troops of both sides pull back. In New Delhi, India's Prime Minister (Mr.

Shas-tri) told a press conference the most urgent task facing the UN Security Council "is to ask Pakistan to desist from its declared path of aggression." Mr. Shastri said Pakistan had been threatening in the Security Council to unleash a wider conflagration if its desires were not met. Indian forces were under strict orders not to violate the ceasefire, he said, but "Indian forces are under Instructions to defend themselves wherever and whenever attacked by Pakistan." Mr. Shastri said India wanted to implement the ceasefire without any reservation. But he added: "We have no doubt accepted it unconditionally but surely not unilaterally." Aggression Later, India's External Affairs Minister (Sardar Swaran Singh) said Pakistan's attempt to link withdrawal of troops with what they called settlement of the basic cause of conflict could not be accepted.

It would amount to rewarding aggression, he said. At the United Nations, the Pakistani Foreign Minister (Mr. Zulfikar All Bhutto) bitterly criticised the UN's "failure" In the 18-year-old Kashmir question. Addressing the General Assembly, he proposed the sending of an international peace-keeping force to Kashmir and the holding of a UN-supervised plebiscite in which the people of the predominantly Moslem State would decide their future. Indian and Pakistani troopsijwould be withdrawn from Kashmir under the proposal.

The language of North Vietnam's leader. Ho Chi Minh, was not the language of "the man who wants to negotiate for peace," Mr. Stewart said.

No guarantee Ho Chi Binh has demanded that before any negotiations could take place, all United States bases must be removed from South Vietnam. But he had given no guarantee that similar activities in the north would cease. He added that he fplr. A JOLLA (Callfor-J nia), Sept. 29.

Astronaut and aqua-naut Scott Carpenter, who surfaced on Sunday after 30 days under the Pacific in Sealab II, said yesterday the ocean depths were a much more hostile environment than outer space. that the Vietnam situation would eventually be settled at the conference table "Why not now, before more lives are lost Commander Carpenter, 40, told a press conference: "I worked much harder in Sealab II than in the Mercury capsule. "More energy is required to move around, because of the extreme pressure, and just to stay warm because of the SO-deg. cold. "But the real key is the isolation.

I think men can live as long in underwater habitats as they can in DewUne (early warning) stations or any place else where they are isolated."

British Ministers believe the Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Snith) will fly to London next week for talks on independence for the self governing colony, Government sources here said today. The Commonwealth Secretary (Mr. Arthur Bottom-ley) now attending the Labor party conference here will confer later today with Mr. John Johnston, British High Commissioner in Rhodesia, on the possibility of a visit by Mr. Smith.

Mr. Bottomley summoned Mr. Johnston here for a personal briefing on developments in Salisbury after the Commonwealth Secretary had two meetings with the Prime Minister (Mr. Wilson) yesterday. i Mr.

Bottomley, the sources said, has told Mr. Smith he is willing to go to Salisbury, for, new, talks on the' terms heiset out in thir meeting last February. Mr. Bottomley, it is understood, has no plans for any meetings with the two Rhodesian Ministers due in London today, Mr. William Harper (Internal Affairs i and Mr.

John Wrothall (Finance). He is understood to be determined that negotiations should only be carried on with Mr. Smith. Government sources said last night Rhodesia had been told Britain would negotiate its independence only on the terms set out by Mr. Bottomley in Salisbury in February.

The terms included giving the four million Afrioans in Rhodesia a bigger say in Government, leading eventually to majority rule. Mr. Smith wants independence without conditions. Rhodesia has four million Africans, and about 260,000 whites. Fighting rages around Vietnam pass SAIGON, September 29.

South Vietnamese troops and a large Viet Cong force are fighting what is believed could grow into a major action in the PluYC.u Pass area, about 300 miles north-east of here. Reports from the Truce broken Meanwhile, it appeared that both sides were breaking the ceasefire at will. Pakistan alleged yesterday that Indian planes were thrown into a mid-day attack in Rajastan, strafing the Pakistani-held post of Sundhra in the Slnd border area. India denied that, its lanes had been in action, ut an Indian spokesman said operations were in progress against Pakistani "intruders" in Rajastan.

The strike was called yesterday by the Aden Trades Union Congress "to mark the beginning of the liberation struggle1' Backing for the strike came in a Front pamphlet distributed secretly here and dated September '26 two days before the ATUC call was made public.

The pamphlet said Britain must understand that every citizen demanded she should quit the area, and that those who did not back the, demand were "traitors and stooges." Security authorities have so far detained 78 known members of the Front, which is based in Taiz. the Yemen Republic's second capital. The strike call followed the week end assumption of direct rule in Aden State by Sir Richard British High Commissioner, who suspended the Aden, constitution and dismissed the Government of Mr. Abdul Qawee Mackawee and the Aden Legislative Council.

fighting are sketchy but an estimated 1000 Viet Cong are assumed to be taking part. This is a large number for the Viet Cong, who usually operate in groups, of about 100 or 200. The fighting broke out yesterday and the Government troops are reported to be under mortar fire. Vietnamese military sources, confirming stiff righting, said the Viet Cong had suffered heavy casualties. Government troops had captured a large number of weapons, they said.

The area was the scene of considerable losses on both sides last week, when three running battles were fought for control of a- 20-mile stretch of highway. The Viet Cong yesterday launched five separate attacks within a 25-mile radius of Saigon. Two of the attacks forced Government forces to retreat temporarily from their positions. Meanwhile, students in Saigon threatened street demonstrations today after the Prime Minister (Air Vice-Marshal Nguyen Cao Ky) refused to receive a student delegation wanting to present a petition said to outline complaints against the Government. Sources said the complaints dealt primarily with alleged discrimination by Buddhist Community test for cancer PARK RIDGE (Illinois), September 29.
