SAIGON (AP) the Saigon government joined the Viet Cong today in rejecting the U.S. talk of an extended cease-fire beginning with Christmas.

Informed sources said the South Vietnamese had decided after consultdtions with Washington to announce 24hour New Year 's and the Tet festival of Ihe new year during the la.st week of January. The announcement is expected soon. The Viet Cong has already announced three-day cease-fires for Christmas and New Year's and four days for Tet. South Vietnamese officials said that at no time in recent weeks had U.S. officials consulted them about an extended cease-fire.

They said they learned of the lalk in Washington only through newspaper reports, and President Van Thieu's office reacted angrily to reports published locally (hat his government was consulting with the United States about a long cease-fire. Secretary of State William P. Rogfei-s said last week that a cease-fire of at least a month beginning at Christmas was under consideration, and there was speculation that President Nixon might call for such a truce at his news conference to- ees. Bob Houk, Moran, and Ben night. But a spokesman for tbe-PVIiddleton and Irvin.

Weseloh, South Vietnamese Foreign Ministry said today: "If we agree on a five-week cease-fire beginning at Christmas, we must be certain that the enemy accepts the same period." Although he added "there might be something that both sides can accept," the rejection by the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong appeared to leave no room for compromise.

Lenora Ann Kimmel, 32, of Carl Junction, testified she had been with the defendants and had seen Shuler fire a shot at the truck just before she heard a "terrible noise" and saw "a big flare." Leroy Day, vice president of Tri-State, testified Shuler and Bowden had been employed by the firm as truck drivers but had not worked since the strike. Norman Hopkins, 22, of Wichita, testified he drove another Tri-State truck along the. same route just before Gait and had been shot at.

Viewed over a period of months, inflation has been slowed somewhat. But, in the words of Prof. Paul Samuelson Nobel Prize winner, the results are in the eye of the expert.

With the 1972 political season only a year away, there is considerable speculation now concerning the wisdom or the ability of the President to refrain from more direct involvement. Already the administration has moved in the direction of more-activity, issuing its second "inflation alert" and aiming criticism at specific wage and price agreements that it says are inflationary.
