"I think when you have something like that you don't give it up unless you get a quid pro quo for it," he said. Sen. Strom Thurmond as he has before, urged expansion of the bombing of North Vietnam, to hit steel mills, cement factories and power plants plus the mining of the Haiphong harbor.

Sen. George Smathers (D-Fla.) said the mining of North Vietnam's rivers and the American artillery fire into North Vietnam would probably attract more rocket attacks on U.S. troops. The war, he said, will get "a lot meaner before it gets better." Sen. Eugene J.

McCarthy (D-Minn.) expressed increasing doubts of "a real drive for freedom in South Vietnam." The South Vietnamese, he said, are not participating in the conflict in a way that indicates a particularly strong "will for freedom." Sen. Jacob K. Javits said he thinks Mr. Johnson made a mistake in resuming the bombing following the lunar new year truce last month. He advised a halt in the bombing in hopes of negotiations, but an immediate resumption if the enemy tried to take military advantage of the lull.

"What did he say?" was the next question. What he said I don't know what he did I dont know," Mansfield responded. Percy, asked his views on Mansfield's suggestion, agreed that it appeals to him. As for Kennedy's plan, Percy said, "I think we can take any calculated risk in order to try to bring the enemy to the conference table and negotiate an honorable settlement." Hanoi Signal "I personally would feel much more comfortable," he added, "if we would follow a course that I proposed a month ago where I indicated the President should name a time and a place, indicate who from our side will be there, and indicate that we will cease the bombing as soon as they (the enemy) arrive at the conference table." But Percy said there must be "some signal from Hanoi that they are willing to negotiate." Without such a signal, he said, the WASHINGTON Senate majority leader Mike Mansfield (D-Mont) and Sen. Charles H.

Percy (R-I1L) both advocated Sunday a cease-fire by both sides and peace negotiations in Vietnam. Mansfield was interviewed on the radio-television program Face the Nation, and Percy appeared a short time later on Issues and Answers. The questioning stemmed from the call by Sen. Robert F. Kennedy for a halt to the bombing in Vietnam as a bid for peace talks.

"I would go further," Mansfield said, "and call for a cease-fire and standfast on the land, on the sea, and in the air and that, of course, would preclude bombing." This would apply, he said, to "all areas and all participants" and would not be a unilateral move by the United States. Mansfield said he thinks this proposal "would be a good one for the President to make." Asked if he had "proposed that the President make it" he answered, "I think I have." if) 0 0 1 I.

He said previous bombing pauses had not brought peace any nearer and because of this, he believes "Johnson is right and Kennedy is wrong." He said Republicans would have a "constructive attitude" on Vietnam and would seek to achieve "peace without surrender." Party Rift Noted Asked about present division within his own party, Nixon countered that it was no worse than that between "the Johnson and Kennedy factions in the Democratic Party." Nixon said he would not make any pronouncements on American foreign policy during his trip, but would report his conclusions when he returns.

On his arrival in London, Nixon was asked if he is running again for President. He grinned and said, "I am only exploring the issues of the future and how they relate to the United States." NEW YORK UP) Former Vice President Richard M. Nixon said Sunday he felt a pause in the bombing of North Vietnamor even talk about it would prolong the conflict.
