The political independence of South Vietnam is guaranteed and its future form, including the fate of President Nguyen Van Thieu's government, will be determined, without outside interference, by the South Vietnamese themselves. A National Council on National Reconciliation and Concord will be organized among the South Vietnamese themselves on a three-part basis solely to organize the elections and implementation of the agreement, not to act in any way as a coalition government.

(Continued on Page 2) WASHINGTON (AP) Washington and Hanoi unveiled today the terms of an intricate peace accord to end America's longest war, and negotiator Henry A. Kissinger expressed confidence a Saturday ceasefire in South Vietnam would later spread across all of Indochina. But Kissinger and his North Vietnamese negotiating counterpart said there were no secret peace terms. The chief U.S. negotiator made these other major points in his 90-minute White House news conference: About.

145,000 North Vietnamese troops remain in South Vietnam, but Kissinger said their numbers "should over a period of time be subject to considerable reduction" because they cannot be reinforced, resupplied or replaced.

20 WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 24, 1973 15c Colleagues Say Farewell U.S. Ambassador Freed By Terrorists PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti (AP) U.S. Ambassador Clinton E. Knox, seized at gunpoint Tuesday afternoon, was released today in exchange for the freedom of 12 prisoners and payment of $70,000. the ambassador and Consul General Ward Christianson, who was held with him, were freed at the airport where their captors prepared to board a plane with the released prisoners to fly to Mexico.

Arrangements for freeing the two American diplomats were announced earlier by Haitian Information Secretary Fritz Ci-neaf. The release, however, took place earlier than originally foreseen. Knox was seized at gunpoint late Tuesday. Kidnapers stopped his car on its way to the embassy residence. An embassy watchman reported the ambassador later arrived home in a small car also occupied by two men and a woman.

WASHINGTON (AP) Presidential adviser Henry Kissinger said today the release of American prisoners of war would begin in Hanoi bymid-February. Speaking at a White House news conference, Kissinger said the 479 U.S. POWs held in North Vietnam and Laos would be turned over to American medical personnel in Hanoi at intervals of about 15 days beginning 15 days after the peace agreement is signed on Saturday. That would mean the first U.S. prisoners would be released on or about Feb.

11. Kissinger said another 108 U.S. prisoners known to be held in South Vietnam will be released to American officials in the areas in which they are held. "American prisoners will be released at intervals of two weeks or 15 days in roughly equal installments," Kissinger said, with the total time frame coinciding with the 60-day withdrawal of all U.S. forces from South Vietnam.

Prisoners held in North Vietnam and Laos, he said, will be received by U.S. medical teams in Hanoi and will be flown in American planes to locations to be selected by U.S. officials. Kissinger did not say when the first American POWs would be released. It was announced before Kissinger's news conference that the United States and North Vietnam have agreed to return all prisoners "without delay." A document spelling out the agreement on handling POWs also says that the return "shall be carried out at places convenient to the concerned parties." Again, the document released by the White House does not say what those places will be.

The places of return, the document said will be agreed upon by a new temporary joint military commission made up of representatives of the United States, North Vietnam, South Vietnam and the Viet Cong. The only specific time mentioned in the protocol stipulates that "the return of all captured persons shall be completed within 60 days of the signing of the agreement at a rate no slower than the rate of withdrawal from South Vietnam of United States forces and those of other countries." The document covering civilian as well as military prisoners on both sides provides that the seriously ill, wounded or maimed, and old persons and women shall be returned first. "The remainder shall be returned either by returning all from one detention place after another or in order of their dates of capture, beginning with those who have held the longest," the document said. Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird said Tuesday night that teams of U.S. specialists and evacuation aircraft will be ready to go "as soon as possible" after the cease-fire agreement becomes effective Saturday.

"He saved the world from a course of events that could have ended in atomic devastation," the Louisianan said. As the Senators spoke of the former majority leader a White Houset jet.

"There has been no violence as far as we know." an American spokesman said. Knox, one of the few black American career diplomats of ambassadorial rank, is a native of Boston and entered the State Department in 1945 after receiving a doctorate of philosophy degree from Harvard.

In an interview with a Miami Herald reporter only hours before his kidnaping, Knox noted what he considered to be an improved political climate in the French-speaking black Caribbean republic. The country has been ruled for the past two years by a form of collective leadership in the name of President Jean Claude Duvalier, 21-year-old son of Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier, who died April 21, 1971. The time since the 64-year-old dictator's passing has been one of the most tranquil in Haiti's recent history. Milk Prices To Go Up Two Cents SACRAMENTO (AP)-Milk prices will be increased two cents per half gallon statewide beginning Feb. 1, State Agriculture Director C.

B. Christensen announced today. It is the first statewide increase in the price of milk since May of 1971, but in most of the state's 30 milk price zones it will be the second raise in a year. Statewide, those zone increases haye hiked the average store price of milk by one cent per half gallon in the past year, said Leroy Walker, chief of the State Bureau of Milk Stabilization. The new store prices for milk will range from a low of 54 cents per half gallon in Sacramento to 64 cents per half gallon in Siskiyou County.

The price goes to 56 cents in the Los Angeles area and to 58 cents in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose milk price zone. Walker said highest prices are in areas "where the population is sparce and where processing and delivery costs are highest." Here are the new prices per half-gallon in milk in other areas of California: Fresno. 56 cents: San Diego and San Bernardino. 57 cents; Santa Barbara. 58 cents; Ventura.

59 cents: Bishop. 60 cents, and Crescent City. 62 cents. Home delivery prices range from two cents to 10 cents per half gallon higher than the store prices. Walker said.

Walker said the last big increase in the Los Angeles area was a one cent per gallon hike last Sept. 1. He said the last increase in the San Francisco Ray Area was the May. 1971 statewide hike.

Cineaf said 12 prisoners would be released and flown to Mexico aboard an Air Haiti C47 plane along with five kidnapers. They were to be accompanied by French Ambassador Bernard Dorin, the papal emissary Luigi Barbito, and Mexican Ambassador Armando Du-ran. The diplomats acted as intermediaries in negotiation with the kidnapers. He said the kidnapers had agreed to hand over Knox and Christianson and surrender weapons at the airport. Cineaf said the kidnapers originally demanded the release of 31 prisoners and payment of $500,000 by the U.S.

government. The $70,000 payment agreed upon was to be made by the Haitian government, he said. During the negotiations Ambassador Knox talked by tele- commission had opposed Prop. 20. the coastline initiative.

But he said this "may be logical" and should not hamper the commission's progress because 45 per cent of the state's voters also opposed the measure. The commission then agreed to appoint a personnel committee to begin recommending staff. "We have a big job to do." Lane said. "I think the most difficult part will be the things we aren't sure so we'll have to go on hunches at times." He called it "an excellent group" and said he was sure they could work together to preserve the scenic coastline.

Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania said.

Scott quoted Nixon as having thanked the bipartisan group of House and Senate leaders for their support, acknowledging there have been differences, and adding: "By pursuing the course, we've got our prisoners coming back, a peace, however fragile, which we have hopes will endure." "There are problems." Scott said Nixon told the two-hour. 20-minute meeting at the White House.
