Ambassador W. Averell Harri-man, beginning the fourth month of his talks with Ambassador Xuan Thuy, also accused the North of blocking progress in peace-making and declared: "We are ready to consider, publicly or privately, any realistic proposal which will advance the cause of peace." Thuy, who spoke first in today's 17th session of the talks charged the United States with "obstructing the way toward a correct political settlement." Both the Harriman and Thuy speeches were reviews of the talks since they began May 13 and both repeated old charges and positions. Harriman's speech, however, also brought in by implication the issue of whether the lull in fighting in the South is a move by Hanoi toward de-escalation, a move that President Johnson could use to justify ending the bombing of North Vietnam.

WEDNESDAY, AUG. 14, 1968 10 CENTS Harriman apparently was saying that on the basis of available evidence, that is not the case. He said Johnson had limited the bombing of North Vietnam on March 31 so that four-fifths of the country has been free of attack.

"From the captured documents, defectors, prisoners and from broadcasts by Radio Hanoi, the evidence has mounted that you are making plans for another round of large-scale attacks.

"Is that how you intend to show the world your peaceful intentions?" Harriman said that in the three months of meetings so far "you (North Vietnam) have not been willing to make a move toward peace." He then recounted various U.S. proposals for scaling down the war, lowering infiltration, demilitarizing the buffer zone, arranging for foreign troop withdrawal, and various others. recently announced plans to form a holding company, pending shareholder and government approval.
