Kosgygin's blast at the ruler of his giant Communist neighbor was unprecedented for a Soviet statesman visiting a foreign capitalist state. Kosygin said an end of American action against North Vietnam could lead to "the ending of the Vietnam conflict" and would be "the most correct solution." Red China's Army Seizes Civil Aviation of the Communist party's Central Committee on Jan. 26.

The order said it was issued "to prepare for war, to protect normal flights of both international and domestic aircraft and to carry on smoothly the great cultural revolution." The report did not indicate what might be meant by the phrase "to prepare for war." Mainichi speculated that the order was made public at least partly because of troubles early this week at Peking Airport when Chinese demonstrators harassed Russians returning to Moscow. One Soviet airliner evacuating the families of Soviet Embassy staff members was delayed for six hours by anti-Soviet demonstrations. Mainichi said the Chinese government and military authorities appear to be trying to avoid such "unnecessary friction." The Mainichi correspondent reported the order said: The seizure applied to the General Bureau of Civil Aviation, all control bureaus, aviation stations, airports and aviation institutes. After the military seizure, the great cultural revolution within civil aviation will be carried on under military regulations. Following the seizure, all revolutionary organizations within civil aviation will be forbidden to exchange revolutionary experiences with outside organizations.

Meanwhile, Peking wall posters said "white terror" was spreading through inner Mongolia, where soldiers beat up large numbers of party chairman Mao Tsetung's followers. IF TRUE, this would add meaning to a reported order for all army units engaged in provincial political activities to return to their barracks by Feb. 20. The implication was that Mao, 73, feared that troops might be corrupted by backers of his enemy, President Liu Shao-chi. The posters said Mongolian military authorities "have broken by cruel methods a sit-down and hunger strike of some 200 revolutionary students and teachers," the Czechoslovak news agency CTK reported.

The autonomous region of Inner Mongolia is the stronghold of Ulanfu, the political and military boss who was shorn of his deputy premiership by the Mao faction.

But the two men remained divided on how to get peace negotiations started. In a television interview broadcast by Britain's main networks, Kosygin, speaking through an interpreter, disclosed that he has had a full exchange with Wilson on the China upheaval. This, in itself, was a rare admission, Heretofore, with the British at least, Soviet leaders have refused to discuss the feud with China.

Kosygin called it "a state of aggravation." He said "it is entirely the fault of the Chinese state." "WE SHOULD like to have good relations with the Chinese government and with the Chinese Communist party, which we hold in high gard," Kosygin said. "We are aware there are Kosygin Continued on Page Six From the Tribune Wire Services North Vietnam is funneling supplies southward during the Tet truce at a rate five times greater than normal wartime levels, U.S. officials in Saigon, South Vietnam, said Friday. A State Department spokesman in Washington, D.C., said that the increased movement of supplies by the Communists indicated that the North Vietnamese were not really interested in a peaceful settlement of the war.

In the letter, the 27-yearold Tarkenton said, "Because of the events of the past few months, and my feelings toward a number of things, it is impossible for me to return to the Vikings with a clear and open mind. As you know, I have tried to subdue these feelings and erase them from my mind, but it has been "FEELING as I do, I am sure that this decision is the best for the Vikings, you and myself I hope you and By BOB FOWLER Minneapolis Tribune Staff Writer Tarkenton Fran Tarkenton, the Vikings' gambling, scrambling quarterback for six years, has said he no longer wants to play for the National Football League Club. "It is impossible for me to return to the Vikings with a clear Tarkenton and pen mind," he told club officials.

Tarkenton, who lives in Atlanta, during the offseason, wrote what amounts to a letter of resignation and which would change my decision." His decision is one which, he has confided to friends, he has been considering for the past year. Close friends and teammates of Tarkenton have said there has been a personality clash between the quarterback and Van Brocklin. The breach became apparent Dec. 4 when the Vikings played the Atlanta Falcons. The game was televised throughout Georgia and Tarkenton appeared only to hold the ball on extra attempts.

Van Brocklin said he wasn't benching Presidential Succession Amendment Takes Effect WASHINGTON, D.C. -(P) -The 25th Amendment, detailing what is to be done if the President becomes unable to perform his duties, went into the U.S. Constitution Friday. After a period of confusion, it appeared that Nevada was the 38th state to ratify and thus won the distinction of completing adoption of the amendment. Three fourths of Fair Skies, Cold Wave to Remain Over Weekend A strong influx of arctic air that prompted cold wave warnings Friday will continue to drift over the Twin Cities through the weekend, bringing generally fair skies, according to the U.S.

Weather Bureau. Twin Cities temperatures are expected to climb to a high of 5 before plunging to 18 below zero tonight. Northwest winds at 10 to 20 miles an hour will diminish slightly through the day. The precipitation probability is 5 per cent through tonight. Sunday's high also is expected to be about 5.

While cold weather and clearing skies will prevail over most of Minnesota and Wisconsin over the weekend, the Weather Bureau said a warming trend is expected to reach western North Dakota and South Dakota and move east Sunday. Scattered light snow flurries are likely today in southwestern North Dakota and western South Dakota. Minnesota highs today will range from 5 below to 5 above in the north, and zero to 15 above in the south, Saigon reports combined to forces would resume shooting year cease-fire ends at 5 p.m. There were some hints in up could prompt a resumption north before the cease-fire "The volume, scope and shipments) create hazards for not afford to overlook," a U.S. Council to Let Court Decide Snow- Tag Fine By JOE RIGERT The Minneapolis City Council backed down a second time Friday from an increase in the parking fine for snow emergencies and decided to leave it up to the judges.

The council voted 7-6 to table an ordinance to boost the fine to $15 after 7th Ward Alderman Dan Cohen said the Municipal Court judges planned to impose it by court rule next week. The aldermen had sidestepped their own plans two weeks ago to raise the fine to $25. It now is $3. THE REASON that time, given by Cohen, was that icy alleys were forcing homeowners to park in the streets. The reason this time, said Cohen, chairman of the committee that recommended the increase, was that the judges felt it would be "more effective" to raise the fine by court action.

The next question was whether the judges would do it. Chief Judge Bruce C. Stone of Hennepin County Municipal Court said he had advised the city attorney that the judges would "give it every consideration." It never was made quite clear in the council discussion why a court imposed fine increase would be more effective than a council-ordered boost. COHEN SAID the judges could suspend part of the fine if it were increased by the council. But Stone said the fine also could be reduced if raised by the judges.

The aldermen had initiated the move for an increase after city engineers complained that parked cars were making it difficult to plow the Council Continued on Page 12 Mrs. Stella Murphy McNally Dies at New Richmond, Wis.

"What we must do is discover what the problem is, then solve it. I am hoping that we can talk again, perhaps next week." THE QUESTION unanswered by Tarkenton or any Viking official is: Why does Fran want to leave the Vikings? "I honestly don't know why," Finks answered.

"And he didn't give any specific reasons in his letter." Tarkenton did state his decision was reached "because of the events of past few months." Those "events" might volve not only the incident involving the Atlanta game, but several trade rumors that have been circulating recently. Finks and Van Brocklin were in New York, N.Y., two weeks ago and at that time it was rumored Fran would be traded to the New York Giants. NEW YORK reportedly would trade its No. 1 draft choice (probably Heisman Trophy winner Steve Spurrier, a quarterback from Florida) to Baltimore and the Colts would trade their No. 2 quarterback, Gary Cuozzo, to Minnesota.

McCloskey declined to say whether the communist resupply operations violate the cease-fire "in the technical sense," nor would he talk about any Allied reinforcement activities. to match the seven-day halt in operations proposed by the Viet Cong. At the United Nations, Secretary General Thant appealed for an unconditional end to American bombing of the north and an indefinite extension of the cease-fire.

"I believe that an indefinite and unconditional extension of this cease-fire would help in moving this tragic conflict to the conference table," Thant's statement said. In Washington, the State Department had no comment on the statement. Earlier, McCloskey said: "WE ARE, of course, seriously concerned about the resupply activity which is certainly indicative of the intention of the North Vietnamese to take advantage of the holiday period. "It is also relevant to the broader question of whether the North Vietnamese are genuinely interested in a peaceful settlement, and further to their demand that there be a cessation of bombing prior to talks." Hanoi has been saying there "could" be peace talks if Washington halts its air but wanted to give Bob Berry some experience. Two weeks before, Van Brocklin started Ron VanderKelen in Los Angeles, for the same reason.

AFTER the Atlanta game, which the Vikings lost 20-13, Tarkenton was asked why he didn't play. "Ask the man in there," he answered, motioning toward Van Brocklin's office. Van Brocklin was unavailable for comment yesterday. His telephone was busy and apparently off the hook. When a reporter arrived his home in Medicine Lake, a daughter said, "He said he is busy and can't be disturbed." Finks and Ridder talked to First Break in Honeywell Strike Seen The announcement Friday of a Teamsters-Honeywell negotiation session for 11 a.m.

today and a union membership meeting for 3 p.m. today was the first indication of a break in settling the 10-day-old strike at the company. This afternoon's meeting of Teamsters Local 1145, scheduled for the Minneapolis Armory, will provide an opportunity for a vote on a company offer if one is submitted--as expected-at the 11 a.m. talks. BOTH meetings announced for today came at the request of state and federal conciliators, who told both sides earlier that the strike "must be settled this week." In a joint statement, State Labor Conciliator Peter Obermeyer and Federal Conciliator Charles LeValley urged that Honeywell officials "formulate any contemplated changes in their offer as soon as possible." Harold J.

Gibbons, St. Louis, a Teamsters international vice-president, arrived yesterday afternoon to meet with Local 1145 officers. He also will attend the 11 a.m. negotiation session today "and will assist in the a union source said last night.

The confusion arose because North Dakota voted ratification Thursday, apparently becoming the 37th to vote approval.

Counting North Dakota as still not among the ratifiers, Nevada ratified at 12:40 p.m. (Minneapolis time) and claimed the prize.

A few hours later word came from Bismarck, N.D., that the official finding was that North Dakota's ratification was invalid and would have to be taken again. So that left Minnesota as 37 and Nevada as 38.

However, he said he knows of no contact between the Saigon and Hanoi governments about prolonging the truce.

While reports flowed in from reconnaissance pilots checking on Communist land and sea traffic in North Vietnam, shooting outbreaks persisted in the south. The Allies accused the Communists of initiating incidents at a rate of more than four an hour, compared to 3.72 an hour during the two-day New Year truce. The accounting last night showed 268 cases. Of these, 59 were termed significant meaning one or both sides suffered casualties. In 24 cases involving American and other foreign forces, spokesmen said 30 guerrillas had been killed.

A U.S. Air Force spokesman said in Saigon that cargo and troop carrier crews have continued flying "normal" resupply missions to Allied troops in South Vietnam during the cease-fire. "The operational word here is normal," another American source said. "We haven't had a step-up. We're not talking about a five-time increase in our efforts.
