SUNDAY- JJEWS, OCTOBER, 11; 1970 Old Values Remain Firm Mi M'Zfr Ml ss ss sssssS By JERRY GREENE Washington, Oct. 10 The Nixon administration is nursing a hope that in some quarters has stretched to a belief that a breakthrough toward peace with North Vietnam may develop through the prisoner of war issue. We are told that there were faint signs of stirring on the handling of prisoners by Hanoi even before President Nixon laid down his revamped ceasefire and peace parley proposals in the Wednesday night speech. m. "li mill i I ii -w Nixon Hope: Peace Thru Prisoner Issue Nixon put the immediate and unconditional release" of all prisoners of war held by both sides" at the end of his five-point plan, but this chronology by no means indicated the place of relative importance.

The President has given instructions to all of his aides involved in the diplomatic maneuvering to hit the Drisoner issue hard and to trv to separate this from the remaining, much more complicated, part of the negotiations. The diplomats at Paris and elsewhere will hammer on the 4. prisoner release theme as a beginning, reminding Hanoi in every way possible that, as Nixon said: "It could serve to establish eood faith. 11 i i ine inieni 10 maice progress, ana thus improve the prospects for negotiation."

The total it varies slightly from day to day as men listed as missing either turn up or are confirmed captured or dead is about 1,550. Of the total, 780 are believed to be in North Vietnam, 540 in South Vietnam and 229 in Laos.
