They start with the assumption that Hanoi is seriously interested in a settlement that would yield it something less than a orceable takeover of South Vietnam. But in pressing the search for such a settle-in the administration's planners also wish to prepare a fallback position, that is, a tenable alternative in case negotiation fails.

ALTERNATE WINNERS Alternate grand award winners in arts and crafts were to Observe Easter I 4rt)ositchekiros. Millions Concluded from Page One Pope Paul lighted a Paschal candle to mark the close of Lent at a vigil service Saturday night in Rome. Thousands joined him at St. Peter's Basilica for the vigil and Mass of joy commemorating the end of Christ's entombment. Some 1,000 pilgrims attended services in Jerusalem's 400-year-old Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which, according to tradition, is the site of Christ's tomb.

This second Easter in Jerusalem under Israeli control was as peaceful as any other, as security guards in white caps mingled with the crowds. Israel took Jerusalem in the 1967 war with the Arabs.

He is expected to take part in the White House egg roll Monday. Sunrise services were scheduled as usual at Arlington National Cemetery. Lt.

Gen. Frank T. Mildren, deputy commander of U.S. forces in Vietnam, told troops in an Easter message their mission was to bring peace and freedom to South Vietnam. "As we see the strife and sadness around us this Easter Sunday," he said, "we should offer our prayers for our own United States, which has given freely of its prosperity so that others may be free." Some 20,000 are expected for sunrise services in the Holly loss of Soviet support because of other crises, particularly Moscow's conflict with Peking, and realization that.

American forces cannot be defeated or forced to withdraw from South Vietnam if Nixon succeeds in appeasing domestic public opinion. Moreover, officials here still count on some marginal though secret Soviet support in arranging a settlement. They think that Moscow would favor a compromise that vindicates neither American intervention in Vietnam nor the guerrilla warfare habitually enforced by Communist China. If they can get substantial negotiations, administration officials would want to arrange for a schedule of mutual troop withdrawals by North Vietnam and the United States while the political future of South Vietnam is left to the talks between the Saigon government and the NLF. SAIGON ATTITUDE Indirect diplomatic ex changes appear to have left officials here with the impression that the Front is prepared to deal with the Saigon government, at least long enough to work out some new political processes.

And the attitude of the Saigon government is said to have changed remarkably in recent weeks as the Nixon administration privately made plain its determination to move toward disengagement. American officials do not now expect the Saigon regime to obstruct agreements for the withdrawal of outside forces. The Saigon leaders also are said now to understand the need to strengthen their political and military position against the day when they must cope alone with their rivals. Public pressure on Saigon is thought here to be self-defeating, because it helps Hanoi's campaign to undermine the existing South Vietnamese government. But the private prodding has continued and, as Nixon is said to have remarked, it may be difficult to make peace with Saigon but it will be impossible to make peace without Saigon.

Behind that moment, and behind the entire Nixon approach to the war as described here, lies the administration's judgment that the U.S. cannot simply withdraw and let Saigon fall to armed insurgence or invaders. MINIMUM TERMS The administration is not unalterably committed to the existing Saigon government, but it has concluded that the investment of more than 500,000 American troops and of solemn American commitments must be redeemed in some minimal way. It is not known whether the President has tried to define his minimum terms. But some of his senior officials say that they have concluded that there must be some genuine "self-determination" in South Vietnam and not merely some arrange-" ment that camouflages a Viet Cong victory by force of arms.

Therefore, the administration appears to be seeking a phased withdrawal of American and North Vietnamese troops over a period of time long enough to let new political processes develop in South Vietnam. Simultaneously it is contemplating the possible need for an even slower pace of American withdrawal if negotiations are unproductive.
