67. Kennedy Says He Has Isked LBJ For Meeting NEW YORK (AP)-Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D.N.Y.. said to- 3ay he has asked President Johnson for a meeting soon in the light of the chief executive's withdrawal from the presidential race.

In his first comment since Sunday night's announcement Johnson. Kennedy said he lad praised the President for 'subordinating self to country." Kennedy told a crowded news 1 rmfpronr tliaf "You never want to believe a politician when he makes an announcement like that." Westmoreland, who is to be relieved in July as commander of U.S. forces in Vietnam, told a questioner: "Yes, I have a comment. It's no comment." Last year he said the bombing of North Vietnam was "essential and vital to our military strate- ti The top allied commanders in Vietnam apparently were notified Sunday of the President's bombing curtailment order, but both this and his political announcement came as a complete surprise to other military men and South Vietnamese officials listening to Johnson's speech on the U.S. Armed Forces Radio.

President Nguyen Van Thieu. Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky and Premier Nguyen Van Loc all declined to comment. There was a flurry of activity at Independence Palace as Thieu met with his chief advisers. The GIs' responses to Johnson's withdrawal from the presidential race generally depended on political leanings. But some look the position of an Air Force pilot who said: "I don't believe anyone coming in cold will have the experience or knowledge of event? or that a new man stepping iniu office will be as well nrpnare.ri as is at this reverently hope," Johnson's new move for peace in Vietnam will succeed.

The junior senator from New York said he had dispatched his telegram asking for a meeting with the President shortly following Johnson's withdrawal announcement Sunday night. "I will continue my campaign for the presidency of the United States," Kennedy said in concluding his statement. news conference 'Indian Joe Gets $135 For Job On Driveway Joseph Sheranko, Derry Township police chief, reported today that a man calling himself Indian Joe called at the residence of John-Whit cock, Hummelstown RD 3, and offered to seal his driveway for $83, but when finished demanded $135.

time." "I don't blame him," said an infantry sergeant, on his second in Vietnam. "He did the best job he knew how. It has been rough on him and all he got for it was a kick in the head." S. Sgt. John Archer of Maiden, said: "Johnson is about the only one of (he politicians who doesn't want to pull our troops out altogether.

The Kennedys and the rest do. I think it's a great mistake that he's not seeking re-election." A young Vietnamese lieutenant, however, said he felt a man in the White House would help to end the war. "Our people are tired of war," he said. "Everybody wants the war to end."

Makes Sudden New Bid To Get Talks Underway (Conflnwri Prom MM Ont) immediately toward peace through negotiations. So tonight, in the hope that this action will lead to early talks, I am taking the first step to de-escalate the conflict Names Harrlman Johnson then named Ambassador-at-large W. Averell Harrl- man to represent him, with the assistance of the U.S. ambassador to Moscow, Llewellyn Thompson, in any talks (hat can be arranged at Geneva, Switzerland, "or any other suitable place." The President did not link his new peace offensive with his bombshell announcement removing himself from the presidential election race. But there was immediate Washington speculation that Ho Chi Minh might do so.

The question was whether Ho he is interested in negotiations at expect to get better peace terms from a new administration than from the outgoing President. Johnson based his partial bombing halt and his peace bid on the so-called San Antonio formula, which he announced in a speech at San Antonio, Texas, last September. Previously he had sent it to Hanoi through diplomatic channels in August. He said then he would stop the bombing of North Vietnam if serious peace talks would begin promptly, and he would assume that Hanoi would not "take advantage of our restraint" to improve its military position. Denounced Formula North Vietnamese spokesmen denounced the formula and declared they would not promise military de-escalation.

They did say about three months ago, however, that if the United States would unconditionally halt all attacks on North Vietnam, talks would begin shortly afterward and all relevant questions could be discussed. More recently, it was learned that in diplomatic probing? of the North Vietnamese stand the Johnson administration was seeking some assurance that in response to a bombing halt North Vietnam would scale down military operations. Secretary of State Dean has said repeatedly he wanted to know what action North Vietnam would take if the United States ended its he particularly wanted to know what would happen in the border region opposite Khe Sanh where massive enemy troop movements have been under way for months. Recently officials In Washington have reported they detected no active interest in peace negotiations on North Vietnam's part. Informants said Sunday night there was definitely no understanding with North Vietnam preceding Johnson's decision on the bombing.

The President said he was acting unilaterally. Johnson said his immediate purpose was "to bring about a reduction in the level of violence that now exists," to save lives, and "to permit the contending forces to move closer to a poiiti' cal settlement." Johnson renewed his offer, first made in early 1965, to have North Vietnam participate in a post-war program of development in Southeast Asia. He also indicated U.S. willingness to have rebel leaders in South Vietnam have a part in that country's political processes.
