The President was asked if he would be willing to participate personally in peace negotiations with other leaders of the Communist world, including North iet-nam Premier Ho Chi Minh. Mr. Johnson reemphasized that if the "other side desires to discuss peace," he would do anything possible to accommodate that. But he added: "As of today, there has been no indication that the other side is prepared in any way to participate.

Mr. Johnson commented against a background of reports that the Communists are trying through various channels to hint at willingness to talk about peace. The President refused to characterize recent speculation of possible peace talks. Instead, he repeated his statement that he so far has neither seen nor heard of anything that could be interpreted as "serious by efforts by the other side toward peace." JOHNSON Page 3 Restrictions On Hospital Union Upheld By ROBERT E. WALSH The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court today ruled that a 1964 law which gave nurses the right to engage in collective bargaining cannot be extended to include other hospital employees.

In a decision written by Chief Justice Raymond S. Wilkins, the court upheld a decision made by a panel of three Superior Court judges. This panel ruled that the state Labor Relations Commission had exceeded its authority in ordering the Worcester Memorial Hospital to negotiate with the International Union of Operating Engineers, A.F.L.-C.I.O. The operating engineers won a representation election in the Summer of 1965 and after the hospital refused to bargain with them the union brought an unfair labor practice against the hospital through the commission.
