(AP Wirephoto) PARIS (AP) The United States and North Vietnam formally called an end to their long undeclared war Saturday and their envoys drank a champagne toast to peace and friendship. They were joined by the South Vietnamese and the Viet Cong in signing the documents that called for a cease-fire, the exchange of prisoners and a withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Vietnam. The time for the cease-fire on Vietnam's battlefields was midnight Greenwich Mean Time 7 EST. The exchange of prisoners and the withdrawal of U.S.

troops is to take place within 60 days. To get around the refusal of South Vietnam and the Viet Cong's provisional revolutionary government to recognize each other. Secretary of State William P. Rogers and North Vietnam's foreign minister, Nguyen Duy Trinh signed a separate set of documents later in the day. The two ceremonies, the first lasting 18 minutes and the other 10 minutes, in the ornate gray-and-gold ballroom of the former Hotel Majestic, were followed by toasts with champagne provided by France, the host country.

Witnesses said all the envoys taking part clinked glasses, including Foreign Minister Tran Van Lam of South Vietnam and Mrs. Nguyen Thi Binh, the Viet Cong foreign minister. All four ministers were silent during the signing ceremonies held under the floodlights of television cameras. But while Lam and the other South Vietnamese officials wore grim expressions throughout, Rogers and'Hanoi's Trinh twice exchanged nods and a flicker of a smile. Lam and Mrs.

Binh attended only the first ceremony, which began and ended with a noisy "victory" celebration by several hundred Viet Cong and North Vietnamese sympathizers in front of the 700-room building near the Arc de Triomphe. Lam later called on the French Foreign minister, Maurice Schumann, to lodge a formal protest that the demonstration was tolerated by French police. The demonstrators waved hundreds of Viet Cong and North Veitnamese flags and shouted slogans hostile to President Nguyen Van Thieu. South Vietnamese delegation sources said Schumann expressed his regrets. As Rogers and Lam arrived for the ceremony, they were booed by the partisan crowd, while Trinh and Mrs.

Binh were cheered. By the afternoon, police had broken up the demonstration and kept crowds several hundreds yards away. Soon after the ceremonies, Rogers and Lam left Paris together for Washington.

Kay Harry WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird announced Saturday that "use of the draft has ended." His action, placing the nation's armed forces on an all-volunteer footing for the first time in nearly 25 years, came five months ahead of President Nixon's goal. In a message to senior defense officials, Laird said: "With signing of the peace agreement in Paris today, and after receiving a report from the secretary of the Army that he foresees no need for further inductions, I wish to inform you that the armed forces henceforth will depend exclusively on volunteer soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines." Laird's decision cancels plans to draft about 5,000 men before next June 30, when legal authority to induct young men into the armed forces will expire. Pentagon manpower officials said that the flow of volunteers, spurred by a series of military pay raises and improved fringe benefits, has encouraged them to believe these 5,000 men can be raised by recruiting. Laird also issued a strong appeal for congressional approval of new bonuses and other legislation designed to make military service more attractive, particularly to National Guardsmn and reservists.

The Nixon administration has set a policy that, in any future war emergency, the roughly one-million National Guardsmen and reservists will be called before the country turns to the draft lor the nex-essary military manpower. There are skeptics in the military services, and among some civilians, that the Pentagon can maintain an adequate military force entirely with volunteers, in the absence of the draft at least as a prod for recruitment.

died from multiple gunshot wounds Thursday afternoon or evening in thW home at 520 Western Drive, according to Santa Cruz police. Police and sheriff's deputies are cooperating in the investigation, because the triple deaths occurred in the sheriff's jurisdiction, while the double slaying took place inside city limits. James reported that an autopsy performed on Mrs. Francis and her two sons showed "that all victims died from a single gunshot wound to the head by a small caliber gun. Kach victim was also stabbed with a sharp instrument." It had originally been reported that the three suffered only stab wounds.

Both James and Asst. Police Chief Krnest Marenghi have reported that the two cases may be related; James said it is known that the two families had frequent contacts. Mrs. Francis' common law husband. Robert Clayton Francis, returned to his family's cabin near the Mystery Spot around 10 p.m.

Friday night, according to James. He was brought to the sheriff's department by deputies who were watching the scene. "He was in a state of shock," Sheriff's Kenneth Kegg said. Kegg reported that because of Francis' shaken condition, he was not questioned extensively until Saturday. Asst.

Then everybody began to have something to say about what was wrong with schools. You could have made a fortune by writing a bestseller telling how bad the schools were, and the legislature began to appoint committees to study the problem." He explained the reason people were so about their schools" was because they 'd had conf idence in education, and expected schools "to do everything. And schools can't do everything," he emphasized.
