Last week 17 nations that profess to steer a middle course between East and West appealed for immediate negotiations.

Wednesday night Johnson gave them, the American people and the world, Washington's reply. First he explained why the United States is in the war. "We fight because we must fight if we are to live in a world where every country can shape its own destiny. And only in such a world will our freedom be finally secure." Second he outlined the U.S. position.

"The first reality is that North Viet Nam has attacked the independent nation of South Viet Nam. Its object is total conquest. "Of course, some of the people of South Viet Nam are participating in attack on their own government. But trained men and supplies, orders and arms, flow in a constant stream from North to South. "This support is the heartbeat of the war." Third, he indicted Communist China.

"The contest in Viet Nam is part of a wider pattern of aggressive purpose." And then he said of America's aim: "Our objective is the independence of South Viet Nam and its freedom from attack. We want nothing ourselves only that the people of South Viet Nam be allowed to guide their own country in their own way.

"We will do everything necessary to reach that objective." In this regard the President said air attacks on North Viet Nam, begun Feb. 7, will continue: "It is our best and prayerful judgment that they are a necessary part of the surest road to peace." But he also said: "We have no desire to see thousands die in battle Asians or Americans. We have no desire to devastate that which the people of North Viet Nam have built with toil and sacrifice. We will use our power with restraint and with all the wisdom that we can command." At this point, the President turned to the deprivation that is commonplace'in Southeast Asia. "Each day these people rise at dawn and struggle through the night to wrestle existence from the soil.

They arc often wracked by disease, plagued by hunger and death comes at the early age of 40." And then he unveiled hs economic program. "The first step is for the countries of Southeast Asia to associate themselves in a greatly expanded cooperative effort or development. We would hope that North Viet Nam will take its place in the common effort just as soon as peaceful eration is possible. "The United Nations is al- ready actively engaged in development in this area. I would hope that the secretary-general of the United Nations could use the prestige of his great office and his deep knowledge of Asi.

to initiate, as soon as possible, with the countries of the area, a plan (or cooperation in increased development. "For our part I will ask the Congress to join in a $l-billion American investment in this effort as soon as it is under way. "The vast Mekong River can provide food ami water and power on a scale to dwarf even our own TVA. "In areas still ripped by con-' flict," Johnson said, "of course development will not be easy. Peace will be necessary for final success." "But," he declared, "we cannot and must not wait for peace to begin the job." There was an unusual prelude to Johnson's address.

Late Wednesday afternoon, Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, acting Secretary of State George Ball secretary of State Dean Rusk was in Tehran and presidentiaj assistant McGeorge Bundy briefed newsmen in the White House movie theater. The briefing and what the three said amounted to an attempt to give special emphasis to what Johnson would propose. Also, McNamara advised that the military situation in Viet Nam had become increasingly serious in the past year. Elsewhere, officials said reference to unconditional discussions did not repre.

sent a U.S. policy change, that it has been a part of the U.S. position right along. And in his speech Johnson said he was simply restating American policy. Still, the speech did reflect a PARSKY'S Philipsburg LADIES' COATS and SUITS Very Pretty Styles Newest Fabrics to 29.95 All-Weather COATS 19.95 LADIES' DRESSES LARGE SELECTIONS REGULAR, PETITE, HALF SIZES to SHIP 'N SHORE BLOUSES 2.98 5.98 GIRLS' COATS BEAUTIFUL SELECTION SIZES 3-6x 7-14 GIRLS' EASTER DRESSES $2.95, $3.95, $5.79 BOYS' SUITS 8.95 12.95, 18.95 BOYS' SLACKS $2.98, $4.49 BOYS' SHIRTS $1.95 PARSKY'S Next to Passmore Hotel Spruce Street PHILIPSBURG BOYS' SPORT COATS $6.95 $8.95 $16.95 significant shift in the U.S.

attitude toward negotiations. And officials acknowledged the phrase "unconditional discussions" had not been used before in statements by the President and other American spokesmen. Dirksen, in criticizing Johnson, said "the President offers a $l-billion lure as a step toward peace." "When I stood on Senate floor and defended the President's actions weeks ago, I did so in the belief that the initiation of negotiations would not come from us but from the active ideological enemy." The.House Republican leader, Rep. Gerald R. Ford of Michigan, took a similar tack.

"There is a strong hint in his message," said "that he wants to buy peace." But Rep. Thomas E. Morgan, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said, "If there is any remaining doubt in the minds of thinking people either here or abroad of the wisdom of the United States help to South Viet Nam, the President's speech tonight should dispel them once and for all." 200 Guerrillas (From Page 1) one of its 7th Fleet Skyhawk jet fighters was 'shot down by Communist ground fire and crashed into the sea on Wednesday's strike against transport routes in North Viet Nam. The pilot was missing and presumed killed, the Navy said. Officials had reported earlier that all the planes participating in the strike returned safely.

The government announced it had postponed the trial of one of the terrorists who bombed the U.S. Embassy. The Viet Cong had threatened to shoot an American captive if the bomber was executed. Saigon said the trial of Nguyen Van Thai, 33, was postponed indefinitely. Hanoi Radio broadcast a co'm- munique Wednesday from the Viet Cong's political agency, the National Liberation Front, saying if Thai was executed, Gustav C.

Hertz, a U.S. aid mission official missing since Feb. 2, also' would die. The broadcast made no reference to the execution, scheduled today, of Le Dau, 24, admitted Communist agent arrested Sunday night at Da Nang. He was caught in a hotel with a transistor radio filled with pounds of explosives.

There were indications Le Dau's execution would be postponed again. It was set back from Tuesday with the explanation that he was still giving useful information. Saigon authorities had not announced imposition of the death penalty on Thai. But the Communist broadcast claimed scheming to that end "under the pretext that he was involved in the bomb blast at the U.S. Embassy." Hanoi's broadcast not only gave the first word from the Communists that they actually had Hertz as a prisoner.

It also constituted the first admission that the Reds were responsible for the embassy bombing which killed two Americans and 20 Vietnamese. The broadcast said none of the terrorists was killed in the blast and that all the bombers returned "safely 4p their base." After the bombing, however, South Vietnamese authorities said the terrorist who drove the sedan loaded with explosives up to the embassy was killed by the blast as he tried to ride off with Thai on a motorbike. A policeman shot Thai in the stomach and he was captured. Thai has been under treatment for his wound. Thai and another Vietnamese accused of being involved in the bombing were to have gone on trial before a military court Wednesday.

Saigon officials gave no indication that the postponement was the result of the reprisal threat. Hertz, 46, of Leesburg, disappeared while on a motorbike trip near Saigon Feb. 2. He was chief of the aid mission's public administration division in Saigon and had lived here since 1963 with his wife and three of their five children. Mrs.

Hertz and the children left Viet Nam later when Amer- I itan dependents were evacuated. Two older children are in college in the United States. The Hanoi broadcast said Hertz "is now in the hands of the South Viet Nam National Liberation Front, which has given him good treatment ever since his capture." It added that "the fate of G. Hertz is decided by the United States itself." In Washington, the State Department said the reprisal threat had been referred to President Johnson and that it would have no comment until a decision had been made. The Area Deaths MRS.

Produced "very marked inhibition (slowing of growth)" of some such tumors that had developed naturally in other test animals.
