WA After A Brief Christmas Truce GIs Are Back In dered a five-day pause in the bombing of the North to see if this would produce peace feelers. U.S.

officials said then they got only a harsh reaction from the Reds. With the current lull in the U.S.-South Vietnamese raids on the North in its fourth day counting the Christmas truce period State Department press officer Robert J. Mc-Closkey was asked about the response from North Viet Nam. "I know of no noteworthy comment from Hanoi on any subject affecting Viet Nam within the last 24 to 36 hours," McCloskey replied. No Peace Soundings State Department sources said the spokesman included the 24- to 36-hour reference in his answer to take into account Communist charges af U.S.-South Vietnamese truce violations.

They said there have been no peace soundings from the Communist side at any time since Friday. President Johnson and his top diplomatic and defense aides are playing close to the vest their strategy in holding off a resumption of the bombing of the North at this time. Reporters at White House press headquarters in Austin, asked acting press sec- stii'i SE: Ell p.viESr rss Sririr k-viaSSs i'iiuhihv is psyciioiqucu. retary Joseph Laitin whether the United States had instituted a new pause in the bomb-ing. "I have no information whatsoever on that," Laitin replied, U.S.

sources 'also had kept silent on their diplomatic motivations during the bombing pause last May 13-17. But authoritative sources did not discourage speculation that for a second time since the air raids began in February of 1965, the bombing was being suspended to see if the Communists would come to the negotiating table. Cite Air Attacks The Russians and other non-Asian Communists have contended that Hanoi could not enter into peace negotiations while North Viet Nam was being pounded from the air. And a number of non-Communist leaders more friendly to the United States have suggested a pause of longer than five days would be needed to give Hanoi sufficient opportu-' nity to respond affirmatively to Johnson's proposal for un- conditional discussions. If the Reds again spurn the U.S.

bid, Washington presum-: ably would at least score a propaganda gain by having i once again suspended the air attacks. The secrecy covering U.S. strategy at the moment was so tight tha't McCloskey would tell newsmen only that he could not "discuss the opera-. tions or the absence of opera-1 tions in Viet Nam." He was under orders not to admit even that there was a pause in the air operations against the North, although the halt was plain from the military announcements in Saigon. The State Department press officer declined to say whether there had been any contact with Hanoi through a third party.

Nor did he know, he said, of any State Department contact with the Vatican on another truce period. The United States stopped raiding North Viet Nam for five days last May, but the gesture failed to lead to the peace table. There have been no raids against North Viet Nam since the truce went into effect at 6 p.m. Christmas Eve. But in the South, Allied planes hit suspected Viet Cong targets as ground fighting resumed.

But the ground actions were proving costly. A U. S. Army truck hit a mine while carrying troops of the 1st U. S.

Marines killed 63 Viet Cong in scattered fighting Monday near Da Nang air base. But U. S. planes held off attacks against North Viet Nam for the third straight day. The Leathernecks reported taking only light casualties in the skirmishes that flared around the big American base 380 miles northeast of Saigon.

North Viet Nam charged that U. planes and warships "intruded" into its territorial air and water space on Christ- mas Day when the cease-fire was on. It claimed the planes conducted "re-connai ssance and provocative activities." Hanoi radio broadcast the Communist claim made in a protest message to the three-nation control commission on Viet Nam. The only post-truce air strikes reported by U.S. spokesmen were against suspected Viet Cong concentrations in South Viet Nam.

They gave no reason for the suspension of the strikes against the Communist North, but said that Washington was giving the orders. Speculation grew that the. United States was holding back its air might in hope of persuading the North Vietnamese regime to agree to peace negotiations.

But both the pontiff and his top diplomatic advisers were said to feel that, even so, the Pope's appeal had achieved some results and that new efforts were called for.

It was not indicated whether the Pope planned another public appeal for a specific cease-fire for New. Year's as he had done Dec. 19 for the Christmas lull. Secret Channels Sources said it was possible that this time the proposals would be kept strictly within secret diplomatic channels. The Vatican has no direct diplomatic relations with North Viet Nam.

But informants report that Vatican diplomats have indirect channels to Hanoi. There is speculation that one channel is by way of Hungary, where the Vatican has had working ties with the Budapest regime since September 1964. An accord was reached then enabling Pope Paul to appoint a number of bishops in Hungary without government interference. At the same time Archbishop Endre Hamvas was named president of the Hungarian episcopacy to represent the Roman Catholic Church in dealings with the country's Communist regime in the absence of any papal nuncio (ambassador.) Via Hungary It was thought that Pope Paul's Christmas message to Hanoi, asking that the truce lead to a permanent peace, might have been channeled to North Viet Nam by way of Hungary. Pope Paul was reported Sunday to have decided to keep up his personal efforts to encourage a halt in the fighting and the start of negotiations.
