Nixon makes peace talk plans SAN CLEMENTE (UPI) President Nixon, mapping U.S. negotiating strategy for the renewed Paris peace talks, considers a report today from a military adviser who returned Tuesday from a factfinding trip to Southeast Asia. Maj. Gen. Alexander M.

Haig, the No. 2 man to Henry A. Kissinger on the National Security Council staff, made the four-day visit to Saigon and Phnom Penh to furnish Nixon a first hand assessment of the military situation there as the peace negotiations are resumed. The meeting with Haig was one of a series Nixon was dy have publicly denounced the proposal and insisted that the United States dump the present Saigon regime and withdraw all forces unconditionally. Officials said Haig talked with South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu and Gen.

Frederick Weyand, the newly named U.S. commander, during his visit. Like millions of other Americans, Nixon spent the Independence Day holiday quietly with family and friends. After making a 10-minute radio address to the nation on plans for the 1976 bicentennial celebration, he lunched with hs wife at La Casa Pacifica, his blufftop vacation villa.

When the Paris sessions resume, it will afford the Communist side their first opportunity to comment officially on Nixons new peace formula, which he outlined May 8 withdrawal of all American forces from Vietnam, within four months of a ceasefire throughout Indochina and release of American prisoners of war. The North Vietnamese alrea expected to hold wth Kissinger and other top advisers during the remainder of the week to firm up final instructions for the U.S. negotiators at the Paris talks which will resume July 13. Nixon ordered the talks broken off May 4 when the North Vietnamese launched a massive offensive into South Vietnam and said they would only be resumed when the Communist side indicated a willingness to engage in serious discussions.

He announced last week in Washington that the United States was going back to Paris on the assumption that the other side is ready to begin negotiating in a constructive and serious way. Although the President did not show much public optimism about the chances for success in Paris, other administration officials have privately expressed the feeling that North Dairyman purchases 420 acres XL I 'Please pass the pie' A Chino dairy concern is moving into the Tulare area with the purchase of property owned by Dr. and Mrs. Charlie Ma thias, 790 E. King Ave.

Papers filed in the Tulare County Recorders Office showed two seperate parcels of land totaling an estimated 420 acres were sold to the Chino family.

A larger parcel of approximately 334 acres lies between Ave. 208 and Ave. 224 along Road 164. The land was sold to George and Margot te Velde and George and Joanna te Velde Sr. of Chino.

A transfer tax of $168.30 was paid which would put the estimated sale at approximately $116,630. But the sale was made with the transfer tax less leans on the property, county records showed. So the actual payment estimat-from the transfer tax is merely a rough approximation. Mrs. Reynold M.

The park setting, free of the more charged atmosphere of Monday nights fireworks, saw approximately 50 Tulareans eat, drink, play ball and generally take it easy. The Junior Womens Club had expected members of the Tulare Centennial Committee to attend the picnic. But the turnout was disappointing, according to Mrs.

Cooper REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) The future of the world chess championship once more is in doubt, this time because Soviet titleholder Boris Spassky wants American challenger Bobby Fischer punished for his behavior. The 24-game championshio match was scheduled to start Sunday, but Fischer, a 29-year-old chess genius from Brooklyn, failed to turn up, mostly because he wanted more money than the $125,000 purse put up by the organizers.
