THE GUARDIAN Friday April 14 1972 Martial I OVERSEAS NEWS Barzel remains Nixon urged to explain war policy From PETER JENKINS, Washington, April 13 President Nixon is expected to, make his first public comment on the war situation in VMnarr he addresses the Canadian Parliament tomorrow. Meanwhile, he is coming under pressure to make a statement to Congress and the American people as public opinion wakes up to the extent of the escalation which is taking place in the air and sea war. More than 60 members of Congress today signed a demand that unreconciled to treaties with East From NORMAN CROSSLAND, Bonn, April 13 The West German Government's latest attempt to persuade the Opposition to reconsider its rejection of the Moscow and Warsaw treaties was unsuccessful. After meeting the Chancellor, Herr Brandt, the Opposition leader, Dr Barzel, said his party's attitude, summed up in the words "so nicht" in their present was more critical than before. Later Dr Barzel told a meeting of his parliamentary party that the ambiguity of the treaties and the imbalance of the concessions contained in them made them Spassky kept waiting i unacceptable because, as they stood, they could become a dangerous instrument against us." He said he realised that many of his party colleagues and no conference on European security unless the four-Power Berlin agreement came into effect.

the President announce ana i explain American policy American naval strength in waters off Indo-China has more than doubled since February and the buildup continues. About half the 90 warships of the US Seventh Fleet have now been committed. In addition to the two carriers on the way bringing the carrier force to an unprecedented six another cruiser is reported under orders and four more destroyers. The fleet will increase to more than fifty vessels and naval personnel engaged in the fighting from 18,000 two months ago to 47,000. Air strength, as reported from here in Wednesday's Guardian, is being increased to include more than 700 strike aircraft, including an unprecedented 130 B52s.

Meanwhile the White House is being less positive on the subject of further troop reductions although it continues to assert that the President's target of 69,000 by May 1 will be adhered to. The Administration appears confident that the troop withdrawals combined with the virtual ending of the draft, will prevent any serious re-escala-tion of the war as a political issue at home. But the casualty rate is creeping up. In the last week 12 US personnel were killed, 19 captured or missing, and 32 wounded the highest figures since last September. However, it is still very small compared with the average death toll of 278 per week in 1968 when President Nixon was elected.

Washington's appraisal of the enemy's intentions received some confirmation today when the Vietcong announced that it sought to capture An Loc in Binh Long province and set up a provisional capital there If the NLF succeeds in proclaiming a seat of government and hauling up its flag on Soutn Vietnamese territory the American policymakers will be prepared for a cease-fire call aimed at exposing differences between Washington and Saigon.

For hours throughout the evening the vast rambling middle class suburbs of the capital were filled with cars full of eager protesters, hooting their horns and waving the Chilean flag.

The two principal opposition newspapers. El Mercuno and La Prensa, gave it very full coverage this morning. Estimates of the numbers involved in the demonstration vary from 80,000 (La Nacion) to 800,000 (El Mercuno). Certainly it was a massive turnout, but then the Chilean middle class is very large indeed, and although the Government's policies have not yet begun to affect it adversely to any significant degree, it must realise that the writing is on the wall. Fortunately there were no untoward incidents in the course of the march and the subsequent protest meeting, addressed bv Patricio Aylwyn.

April 13 Cyprus has told the Common Market countries that their present offer of an association agreement is unacceptable because it does not include enough concessions for the island's agriculture The problem is not merely a strictly commercial one. Turkish Cypriot leaders and the Turkish Government have asked the Six to ensure that Greek and Turkish Cypriots will benefit equally from the links with the Market. The proposed agreement concentrates on the industrial sector with free trade within a decade whereas the Turkish Cypriot population is largely employed in agriculture.

takes a snooze From JACQUES LESLIE Chon Thanh, April 13 "We're not getting anywhere like this," an American colonel said today after being slightly injured in the attempted thrust by South Vietnamese' forces up the road to the provincial capital of An Loc, which has been under assault by Hanoi's troops. The comment summed up a day of near combat here. Since the North Vietnamese army first moved on An Loc, South Vietnamese forces have been trying to open the road leading to it But they have made no progress. Today's operations seemed to typify their sluggish performance. This morning three regiments of them were moved through the village of Chon Thanh.

One of their commanders, Colonel Khiem, watched from a house where he was sipping cognac on the rocks (an upside down steel helmet served as an ice bucket) with his lunch. After a "softening up" operation by planes two infantry regiments slowly moved Into the brush. Their appearance conveyed the Impression that the operation had unfairly interrupted their siesta. Many carried toft drinks or tea in plastic bags one had a bottle of beer. An American, adviser to one of the regiments, Major Robert Williams, followed obligingly behind Khiem, who frequently stood on tree stumps, looked around, then ordered, movements, but rarely conferred with Williams.

Asked what the Colonel's plans were, Williams said I'm as much in the dark as you are." Then the North Vietnamese began sporadic rifle fire, and later, after attacks by mortars, the South Vietnamese trotted back to the road. One regiment turned around and began marching back down it. New Rabat Government Rabat, April 13 Morocco's new transitional Government under the chairmanship of King Hassan met for the first time today and began work on reforming the country's economy, adminis tration, justice, and education.

The Federation, in a communique, said the matches to be played in Belgrade on June 22 to July 18 were cancelled because the American Chess Federation failed to provide a 13,430 guarantee that Fischer would play in Belgrade. The Federation said the Russians agreed to a similar guarantee for Spassky. The communique said that on March 20 the International Federation asked for a financial guarantee that Fischer would agree to match arrangements reached in Amsterdam on March 20. The US Federation replied on April 4 that Fischer would play at the agreed sites and times but did not mention financial aspects, the Federation said. On April 5.

the communique said, the International Federation asked for the 13,430 guarantee. The Soviet reply was positive, the American reply was negative, the Federation said. As a gesture of goodwill the International Federation gave the US Federation respite until April 13 at 8 am, stressing that an insurance policy to the same value was also acceptable," the communique said. The Federation said the guarantee request was ignored. UPI.
