Kissinger Takes Ideas From Israel To Egypt Azalea Hershey's Red Compact Kurume-Type Reg. 90 Gal. size Sale Price US. Blames USSR, China -Viet Push WASHINGTON (AP) North Vietnam has been able to carry out its large-scale military operations in South Vietnam because of massive arms delivery from the Soviet Union and China, the State Department charged Thursday. Press officer Robert Funseth said "it is fairly obvious those arming North Vietnam are permitting it to carry out its offensive." However, Funseth was unable to provide any figures concerning the aid from Hanoi's supporters and he said "I am unaware" of any American diplomatic actions protesting such assistance.

Meanwhile, the administration stepped up its criticism of Congress for failing to approve further military aid to the Saigon government. Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger said the shrinking level of American support is the "proximate cause" of the withdrawal of South Vietnamese forces from the central highlands. Schlesinger told newsmen he thinks the North Vietnamese will plan to go after Saigon next year but that the South Vietnamese capital is not in danger "at this point." At the White House, Press Secretary Ron Nessen quoted a Journal published in Hanoi which indicated North Vietnam's offensive was launched in the belief that the United States will not give the Saigon government the military aid needed to survive. He again criticized Congress for failing to adopt Ford's $300 million aid request.

At a news conference on Capitol Hill, Sen. Jacob K. Ja-vits, said Congress is on the verge of a decision "that we've had it" in Indochina.

DX 'eft Limit 1 per 5.00 order Rhodora Nursery LISBON, Portugal (AP) -Portugal's Communist party, reflecting rising confidence, Thursday suggested the ouster of centrists from the government and a crackdown on foreign correspondents.

Moving aggressively after what their rivals see as a strengthening of their position over the past 10 days, the Communists attacked the Popular Democratic party, members of the provisional government coalition since the revolution last April. In a statement the Central Committee of the party said it had "reservations" about Popular Democrats remaining in the cabinet because they have criticized the Communist party for totalitarian designs. Premier Vasco Conceives was still consulting with other parties on the reshuffling of his cabinet and it appeared almost certain that he would bring in a Communist-front group, the Portuguese Democratic Movement, to supervise growing state control of the, economy. Ouster of the Popular Democratic party, which models its program on the Swedish wel fare state, would leave Mario Soares' Socialist party as the most conservative group in the cabinet. Diplomatic sources said they had been told that the Popular Democrats had been assured of a place in the cabinet, but this could not be immediately confirmed.

Would Be Hanged HONG KONG (AP) Deposed Cambodian ruler Prince Norodom Sihanouk was quoted Thursday as saying that President Lon Nol and six other present or former Cambodian leaders will be hanged if they are captured. The Far Eastern Economic Review also reported in its March 28 issue that Sihanouk denies the United States has ever made any efforts to contact him or the Communist-led Khmer Rouge rebels and that he rejects any negotiated settlement in Cambodia. The Hong Kong-based weekly news magazine said Sihanouk's statements were in cables he sent from exile in Peking in response to a list of cabled questions.

officials said Kissinger also may meet with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko in Vienna on Saturday, indicating some progress in efforts to reach an Israeli-Egyptian settlement. "I think there are some new ideas," Kissinger told newsmen after a crowded day of negotiations and crucial Israeli cabinet meetings. The secretary still faced what officials called "a wide gap" between the Egyptian and Israeli positions. But he was to return to Jerusalem on Friday after conferring with President Anwar Sadat in Aswan, and continue negotiations. The mention of new ideas raised hopes for a settlement for the first time since Kissinger moved his mission into high gear at the beginning of the week.

"New ideas" could mean Israel had softened some points in its position, observers said. In Israeli eyes, the main obstacle has been Egypt's failure to offer meaningful political concessions in return for a pull-back in the Sinai Desert. Asked if he saw a settlement in sight, Kissinger said, "I don't want to speculate." He added that after he returned to Jerusalem he would be able to give "a better assessment."
