WASHINGTON UP) President Nixon said last night the United States and North Vietnam have agreed to resume the Paris peace talks. He said the administration agreed to resume the suspended Vietnam negotiations Thursday July 13 "on the assumption that the North Vietnamese are prepared to negotiate in a constructive and serious way." NIXON apparently misspoke himself as to the date of the resumption. He said the talks would be renewed on April 13, but evidently meant July 13, a Thursday, and the normal meeting day before the negotiations At the outset of ms mm broadcast news conference gjj more than a year, Nixon was asked whether he could sapij that the war in Vietnam wij be ended by next Jan. 20j when his first term expires.4 He recited the record troop withdrawals, reducsaT U.S.

Decision hailed, a From Tribune Wires WASHINGTON Newsmen, like all citizens, have an obligation to answer grand jury subpoenas and supply information and their sources in investigations, the Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 yesterday. The decision, in three cases, flatly rejected the contention the First Amendment grants reporters a special immunity to protect them from disclosing material they have obtained from confidential sources.

Justice Byron R. White, writing for the majority, said: "The Constitution does not, as it never has, exempt the newsman from performing the citizen's normal duty of appearing and furnishing information relevant to the grand jury's task." WHITE WAS backed by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger and Justices Harry A. Blackmun, Lewis F. Powell Jr, and William H.

Rehnquist, the four Nixon administration appointees to the court. Justice Potter Stewart, in dissent, said the ruling "invites state and federal authorities to undermine the historic independence of the press by attempting to annex the journalistic profession as an investigative 'arm of government." Powell, one of the majority justices, disputed this contention in a separate opinion. He said: "The solicitude repeatedly shown Please See Page 9, Col. 3 WASHINGTON In a dramatic blow to Sen. George S.

McGovern, the Democratic Credentials Committee voted by a narrow margin yesterday to strip the front-running presidential contender of 151 of the 270 delegates he won in the California primary. Climaxing an often heated, three-hour debate that included charges of political arm-twisting, the credentials panel awarded 151 of the delegates McGovern won in the winner take-all California primary to candidates who trailed in the voting. The vote was 72 to 66. THE ACTION, which will be appealed on the floor of the party's national convention in Miami Beach next month, will probably make more difficult McGovern's search for support among uncommitted delegates. The realignment, spearheaded by forces of Sen.

Hubert H. Humphrey, was on grounds that the California winner-take-all primary disenfranchised the 55 per cent of the state's electorate that voted against McGovern. The challengers also contended the primary violated in spirit a prohibition by McGovern's party reform commission against unit rule.

"I'm seeking; I might not win," he said WASHINGTON President Nixon extended price controls yeaterday to fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs and seafood after the first sale by the producer. The move was expected to have little immediate effect on soaring food-costs. In removing the current exemption on raw agricultural products at all levels except the farm, the President sought to put the pressure of controls on profit margins and price markups on fruits, vegetables and seafood sold primarily at wholesale and retail. Donald Rumsfeld, director of the Cost of Living Council, said Nixon's action "cannot drive food prices down.

Only increased supply or reduced demand could do that LAST WEEK, Mxon decid reduce the supply of meat and other fresh foods. As for the impact on inflation, the items put under price controls yesterday make up about 2.5 per cent of the government's Cost of Living Index. The items comprise about 11 per cent of the food component of the index, or about $12 billion worth of transactions. The effect of the action is to try to put wholesalers and retailers under the same profit restraints and markup provisions that apply to processors. The retail cost of meat is covered by controls.
