The patrol said Edmund B. Hanson of Parker's Prairie, was killed late yesterday when he was struck by a car on Interstate 90 west of George. PARIS North Vietnam charged tbilay that U.S.

They say Ilanoi's terms would mean, in effect, a Communiattakeover of South Vietnam. However, Le Due Tho, the Hanoi Politburo member who has met secretly with Kissinger in the past, is re. ported on his way to Paris and what he says privately mayor may notdiverge from their public stance. Nixon announced June 29th that he was resuming the longstalemated Paris meetings, suspended May 4, "on the assumption that the North Vietnamese are pre. pared to negotiate In a constructive and serious way." Administration spokesmen have yet to disclose what evidence they may have that Hanoi intends to alter her position.

They add the United States will not drop Its refusal of North Vietnam's central demand for a coalition government in The administration's main stated reasons for some optimism is because of North Vietna m's drctiinstances now. Rogers noted that Hanoi's spring offensive has failed, U.S. bombing of the North is highly successful, Nixon's Moscow and Peking trips have strengthened the world climate for peace, and continuing the war serves nobody's interests. Whether the two sides will now enter into "serious" bargaining may not be quickly evident from the opening round at Paris Thursday. Negotiators often talk a lot before getting down to the hard points.

The U.S. definition of "serious" discussions, as given by officials here, meats a willingness by the Vietnamese Communists to consider Nixon's cease-fire and with. drawal offer and not just insist on their sevenpoint plan.

Secretary of State William P. Rogers said before leaving Rome that he is generally hopeful the reopening Paris parley might bring some movement by a Hanoi negotiator toward ending the war. Assistant Secretary Mar. shall Green, the State Department's top Far East expert, returned from an East Asian tour affirming that the United States will work hard for a settlement.

"But I think we are dealing, quite realistically," Green said, "with pretty hard-bitten, intransigent, struggle-minded leaders in Hanoi." President Nixon's security affairs adviser, Henry A. Kissinger, told newsmen over the weekend that "at least we have some reason to believe that maybe there will be a new approach" by North Vietnam. "But we cannot guarantee it," he said, "because it will not be certain until we have heard it from them." Washington analysts have spotted no particular shift in North Vietnam's position in the public remarks of Hanoi negotiator Xuan Thuy upon session in Reykjavik, Iceland.

But most knowledgable observers said they felt the audience was more quiet than is normal at top chess games.

Demand Rejected The Icelanders rejected Fischer's demand and told him it is up to the official referee, Lothar 'Schmid of West Germany, to run the game from now on. Spassky's seconds, including International Grand Masters El-rim Geller and Nikolai Krogius, sent their world champion to sleep and then spent the night and the morning hours analyzing the position to find a winning combination for Spassky. Many experts feel they will succeed, even if Geller himself modestly suggested: "I believe we will have a draw." The first game delayed for nine days because of problems raised first by Fischer and then by Spassky, who did not like the American's behavior started with Fischer being late eight minutes because he had been delayed by traffic.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) Caught in a hopelessly drawn game, temperamental American Thallenger Bobby Fischer took a zhance to bring some life into is first world chess championship game. In that moment, soft-spoken and mild-mannered Boris Spasiky proved why he is the world champion in the noblest of games.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) A mother has filed a $125,000 malpractice suit against four doctors she said incorrectly diagnosed her condition and operated on her for gallstones when instead she was pregnant with a 15th child. The suit, filed in Sacramento County Superior Court Monday and disclosed Tuesday asks for $125,000 damages. Dorothy Hill and her husband Henderson cited Drs. Alan C.

Calkin, James Yant and two unnamed doctors. The suit said she engaged the doctors to treat her when she became ill with nausea on March 15, 1971. But, the suit said, they "negligently and carelessly diagnosed her condition as gallstones, and performed surgery for said condition," and the surgery "provided her with no relief at all." By the time the pregnancy was discovered, it was too late to terminate it legally, the suit said.
