Deep Creek Fire Hits Restaurant (Local Vol. CHI--No. 185 Hanoi Told To Hasten Settlement LONDON (UPI) -China atTM Russia independently advised Hanoi to settle with the United States without much furthe delay, authoritative Communis diplomats said today.

Both Communist allies a i cautioned separatelj that in the light of lates developments the fortunes war may turn against North Vietnam. The sources reported tha both assured the Hanoi regime of continued firm political moral and military support But they made it clear at the same time in almost identica terms they cannot risk confron tation with the United States which indirectly limits the scope of their assistance. They did not ask for specific concessions from Hanoi in the suggested effort for a settle- ment with the United States. But they implied the need for some degree of flexibility tha would pave the way for an end to the war. The diplomats said the effect of the two-pronged "interven- tion" by Peking and Moscow in Hanoi was shattering.

Distrusl of their allies' designs has now added to the disappointment 01 the North Vietnamese leader: with the alleged footdragging of both China and Russia in recent months over the conflict. The political and war councils were said to be hard at work in Hanoi on the scope of future strategy. While Peking's and Moscow's advice was said to a been contemptuously brushed aside, the message itself was, however considered too serious in its implications for Hanoi to ignore. Hanoi, according to the informants, has been deeply hit by both China's and Russia's guarded reaction to the Ameri- can blockade of North Vietna- mese ports.

The Parliamentary Ulster Defense Association A said Wednesday it will establish another Protestant so-called 'no go" barricaded sector in Belfast this weekend as another protest against British army toleration of similar "no go" areas established by Roman Catholics in Londonderry. The UDA has set up five such areas since Friday in Belfast, Londonderry and Portadown. A UDA spokesman said tempora- ry barricades would go up in other areas of Belfast this weekend and in one unspecified area they would be permanent. The statement said that after the weekend, the UDA would observe a 14-day "peace and grace" period to allow the July 12 parades by the Protestant Orange Order to proceed. Such celebrations, marking the victory of Protestant forces led by King William III in 1690 have in the past set off some of the worst fighting between Roman Catholics and Prote- stants.

STERBA (C) 1972, H.

Y. Times News RAWALPINDI, Pakistan In his first day as President, Zulfi- kar Ali Bhutto declared to the people of West Pakistan: "The tea party is over." What he meant was that with East Pakistan lost, the tea es- tates of Sylhet and Chitlagon-g-- which had supplied all of Pak- istan's tea were now property of Bangladesh. The statement pointedly reflected the new au- sterity West Pakistan faced in the aftermath of the December war with India. Losing half the country in a war with India was one thing 11 was humiliating, and the loss of the main export, jute, woulc cause economic hardship. But to take away lea to deny its im- port from elsewhere? Quite impossible; he woulc not dare.

The West Pakistanis could drink as much as they wanted without spending money abroad to buy it.

But pooi countries like Pakistan do not export enough so they do not make enough foreign exchange .0 buy all the imports they want without falling deeper and deep- er into debt and economic chaos.
