Kissinger visited last pionth, these officials representing 1 countries with missions in Peking and Hanoi, reported today they have seen absolutely no evidence to suggest that the Russians or Chinese in fact are exercising arty effective pressures on North Vietnam. In the one sector where Moscow and Peking could reinforce any advice in favor of a settlement in the supply of arms and other military aid there has been no sign of a cutoff of aid. And these Western authorities said they doubt very much if the competing Russians and Chinese would expose themselves to charges of betraying Hanoi by seeming to turn on them so soon before the resumption of" the Paris peace: talks next' week. 0 No Information Leak Spokesmen for the Soviet and Chinese embassies here declined formal comment on a report that- their have been pressing Hanoi to end the war soon.

A source close to the Chinese embassy said: "No' member of the Chinese mission could conceivably discuss Pekings dealings with, Hanoi in this way. During his mission to Moscow' President Nixon devoted hours of his time to discussing with Soviet leaders ways of ending the Vietnam war. It became everyones secret thjrt he sought Soviet help toward that goal. In' the wake of" Nixons visit. President Podgorny journeyed to Hanoi where, Western diplomats said, he got a lukewarm reception.

Western authorities' still are unsure if this was due to Hanois resentment against the Russians for permitting the summit talks to take place aft a time when U.S. bombing was going on and U.S. miningof. North Vietnamese ports was taking 'place. That could have been a factor.

Another factor could have been Hanois hostility to the advlce Podgorny was offering. -China, meantime, has been reported sending new contingents of engineers and road-mdnders into North Vietnam to repair bomb damage. informants said, seems plainly inconsistent with the idea -that Peking is urging Hanoi to come to peace terms quickly.
