Harriman, who was President Lyndon B. Johnson's ambassador in the Paris peace talks said a reduction in the fighting is vital to getting progress in the talks now. He also connected his ideas on how to de-escalate the war with the proposal of former Secretary of Defense Clark M. Gifford earlier this week that Nixon withdraw 100,000 troops from Vietnam by the end of this year and remove all remaining ground combat forces next year.

Nixon said in a news conference Thursday night that he hopes to improve on the Gifford timetable. At the same time he said of the level of fighting only that Gen. Creighton W. Abrams, U. S.

commander, has orders to keep U. S. casualties to a minimum and he believed Abrams was carrying out those orders.

So far, it said, there was not enough evidence to seek court acUon. Assistant Atty. Gen. Richard W.

McLaren, chief of the departments antitrust division, reported the investigation to the House Banking Committee, whose chairman. Rep. Wright Patman, said he saw a strong and definite likelihood" of conspiracy in the latest increase in rates on June 9. McLaren told the committee he had sot yet appraised info a i gathered and it would be most ill advised for him to suggest what the investigation has so far revealed. On the other hand, he said, "it is only fair to say that the reports I have thus far would not justify submitting the matter to a grand jury.

Patman, 75, Texas, a long -standing critic of the banking industry, has been demanding that the Nixon administration try to force banks to undo the increase of June 9 which sent the prime interest rate to a record 8.5 per cent.

Although the usual practice is for the college president to accept the recommendation of the faculty members of a department for the departmental chairmanship, the recommendation is not binding upon the president.

Nixons expressions of hope that he could improve the Clifford timetable prompted efforts by some Democratic Senate doves to have him expand this into a firm commitment on a timetable for full withdrawal. But the Senate Democratic Leader, Mike Mansfield of Montana, said Saturday he feels Nixon overracted in his comment on Cliffords proposal.

Mansfield implied in an interview that it would not be realistic to expect such swift withdrawal. For its part, the White House has been trying to play down Nixons remark as only an expression of hope.
