SAIGON (UPI) South Vietnamese Premier Phan Huy Quat said Monday there can be no "international" settlement of the war here unless Communist infiltration and subversion come to a complete halt. "The republic of Viet Nam rejects any international solution which has not received the agreement of the government and the people of Viet Nam," Quat said in his first news conference since taking office less than a month ago. Clenching his fist and raising his voice, the premier told more than 200 reporters: "The republic of Viet Nam does not see peace as a mere truce which the Communists could exploit to perfect their subversive organization and carry out their Machiavellian maneuvers for the takeover of the entire territory of Viet Nam."

The President is "trying to keep the lid on a highly dangerous volcano" in 1 Southeast Asia, asserted Democratic Majority Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana in leading off another round of Senate debate. His administration policy is "to try and prevent a great war sin Asia" and to keep a commitment to the South Vietnamese government, Mansfield said. But the United States is playing a "cat and mouse game" when "we've got the strength and the power to conclude" the war, argued Sen. Milward Simpson, R- Wyo. SOUTH Viet Nam's will to fight, a United States willing to take on any and all Communist aggressors there, and the calls for a negotiated settlement all were topics as the President's policy and actions South Viet Nam were reviewed, argued and scored.

"There is, in my mind, litItle doubt that the conflict in Viet Nam will end in the nottoo-distant future in some sort of compromised settlement that cannot help but lead to an eventual Communist takeover," he asserted.

retary George Reedy said Monday night that Johnson had replied. Reedy said Kosygin apparently was referring to -not a letter-received a month ago in Washington. He said it was with this message in mind Feb. 3 that Johnson said in a speech before the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith that "I have reason to believe that the Soviet leadership would welcome my visit to their country as I would be very glad to do." Reedy said no further official reply was contemplated at this time. "THE TWO governments stand in the same position," he said, "Each has expressed the fact that a visit would be welcome.

There have been contacts through diplomatic channels." Reedy said Johnson's Feb. 3 speech on the subject constituted a "public statement" and was relayed to Moscow through diplomatic channels. The Soviet message, Reedy said, not only said Johnson would be welcome but also "pointed out that it would, in fact, constitute a return for the call in the Visited States in September, 1959, paid by former Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. 32 HOME EDITION Montreal Rescuers For Blast Dead; Toll Rescuers Dig Toll 24 Gas Held as Cause of Huge Explosion MONTREAL, -A searched for more victims rubble of a three-story by a natural-gas explosion sons and injured 37.
