Another fruitless peace talks session held PARIS (AP) The Vietnam peace talks continued in another fruitless session today. North Vietnam and the Viet Cong hammered again at the Nixon administration and stood firm on their demands for U.S. troops withdrawals. The United States replied by charging the other side with impeding peace efforts by failure to talk in teams of reciprocity.

Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, chief U.S. representative, told the 15th full-scale session that he had searched the record of the meetings and "what we have found is not encouraging." "To avoid discussion of specific issues and mutual action," he said, "to present unreasonable unilateral demands, to refuse to talk in terms of reciprocity these are not indications of a serious desire to negotiate."

Campus charges of criminal trespass and disruption of an approved university program were referred to the Committee on Student Conduct and the Faculty Tenure Committee of the Tulane Senate.

Professor W. S. Woody, chairman of the student conduct committee, said the group was empowered in some cases to recommend punishment ranging from a reprimand to expulsion. However, Woody added, the committee had agreed that "in all future cases in which it is determined that the normal processes of the University have been disrupted it unanimously deems the appropriate penalty to be expulsion." The students and Edward Du-binsky, assistant professor of mathematics, were arrested by 15 campus police. Most of them were dragged or carried off the drill field when they refused to walk.

No city police were involved. Jimmy Mashberg, a spokesman for the demonstrators, said the goal was stopping Tulane from granting credits for ROTC.

The pre-dawn attack took place on Jan.

10, 1966. Dahmer died several hours later. Only five witnesses testified during nearly nine hours Tuesday. The slow pace aroused speculation that the case would require at least two weeks. "The first thing I heard was my car horn blowing," Mrs.

Dahmer said. "It wasn't until we got out that I found out the car was on fire I yelled at Vernon to get up and then the shots started coming in. Then I saw the eave of the house was burning." She testified some of the family of five escaped through a window. As she was leaving, she said, she heard her husband in the front of their home returning the gunfire. "He began to shoot and he yelled at me, 'Try to get the children out while I hold them she said.

After the family fled from the blazing house, she said, their oldest son, Harold, then 24, took the family truck to the nearby home of Dahmer's sister, Mrs. Earline Beard. He called the Hattiesburg fire department before returning with Mrs. Beard and taking the family to a Hattiesburg hospital. Lee L.

Wilson, 27-year-old Hattiesburg mechanic who lived near the Dahmer family at the time, testified he was in bed when the attack took place. "I heard a bunch of like firecrackers pow, pow. pow," he said. "I looked out the front window and heard something coming down the road that sounded like a flat tire." He said two cars passed his house from the direction of the Dahmer home. He said one car, a blue 1963 Ford, had a flat tire.

The description matched that of a car found nearby on the day of the attack. Dr. Robert S. Cooke. Hattiesburg pathologist, said in his Heath was caused bv a lack of oxygen, respiratory and the burnint! cf te lining of the branches of the bronchia tree, those v-sseis which move oxygen to the lungs.

When asked if anything could have been done to prolong Dahmer's life, he replied, "I'm surprised he lived as long as he did." The final witness Tuesday was J. L. Martin, an FBI agent from Jackson, who made an investigation on the day of the attack. He displayed a .22 caliber revolver, ammunition, sent shotgun shells, chunks of lead from the Dahmer's pickuo truck and a plastic jug. Martin said he took a sample of liquid from the jug to be sent to the FBI laboratory at Washington for analysis.

Much of the day was occupied with legal wrangling. Defense attorneys asked for copies of Wilson's testimony before two grand juries. U.S. Dist. Judge Dan Russell examined the tran-scripts and said there was no difference between the grand jury testimony and the testimony presented here.

Nixon said he welcomed peaceful dissent, but added: "When we find situations in numbers of colleges and universities which reach the point where students in the name of dissent and in the name of change terrorize other students and faculty members, when they rifle fires, when they engage in violence, when they carry guns and knives in the classrooms, then I say it is time for faculties, boards of trustees and school administrators to have the backbone to stand up against this kind of situation." In Lawrenceville, N.J., more than 700 students at Rider College seized the campus gym for several hours Tuesday night, demanding an end to a curfew on coeds. Students at the University of Rochester pledged to press their boycott today, after the school reported 50 per cent absenteeism Tuesday.

At other campuses: Hanover, N.H. About 125 students opposed to the Reserve Officers Training Corps program at Dartmouth College ended a sit-in at the administration building early today.

Seven black students ended a 10-hour seizure of the science building at Belmont Abbey College after administrators said they would consider the 15 demands raised by protesters. There are nine blacks among the Roman Catholic school's 800 students. The demands include recruitment of more black students and teachers, more black literature in the school library, a school of black studies and higher pay for nonprofessional workers at the college.

St. Louis The Rev. Paul C. Reinert, president of St. Louis University, said students who held an 11 -hour sit-in had legitimate grievances.
