HIGHTOWER Associated Preo WASHINGTON President' Johnson apparently has run into difficulties in both Hanoi and Saigon in his efforts to arrange final terms for an end to the U.S. bombing of North Vietnam. Before ordering a bombing halt, U.S.

officials said, Mr. Johnson is determined to' receive North Vietnamese assurances his action will move forward the deadlocked Paris peace talks and freeze the level of combat in South Vietnam. There still has been no word here of those assurances. South Vietnamese leaders are reported meanwhile to have refused to sign a joint declaration proposed by the United States in halting the bombing. ONASSIS JACQUELINE Mother Announces Jacqueline to Wed Onassis in Week President Nguyen Van Thieu is said to have several objections, among them that there should be no end to the bombing of the North unless Hanoi gives firm guarantees it will not escalate the war.

U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker, who met with Thieu three times Wednesday, met again with the South Vietnamese president today, presumably in an effort to iron out the difficulties. In Paris, U.S. Ambassador W. Averill Harriman met urgently today with South Vietnam's chief observer to the Vietnam peace talks.

Pham Dang Lam of South Vietnam emerged visibly upset from the private meeting that lasted more than an hour.

Miss Tuckerman said she thought the wedding would take place, within the week but she said she did not know where. The announcement came as a surprise to some of the Kennedy families closest friends. Onassis has been a friend of the family for many years and he has played host to Mrs. Kennedy, on his palatial yacht in the Mediterranean, but their relationship until just recently seemed no more than platonic. sure it will be the last time as far as this committee is concerned," Atkins said.

Councilor Thomas I. Atkins, chairman of the Committee on Urban Renewal, in adjourning the session until Friday, apologized to a large group of witnesses and the gallery, stating, "I am sorry, but you have come on a fools errand."
