Kissinger, responding to questions from the audience of 1,300, said, We have been very disappointed with the compliance by the North Vietnamese with the Paris pact. NEW YORK (AP) -Henry A. Kissinger, President Nixons foreign policy adviser, said Monday that the. North Viet-names, had systematically and cynically violated the Paris peace agreement.

Jury to probe bug leaks' From The Wire Services WASHINGTON The U.S. District Court Monday ordered a federal grand jury investigation into leaks of secret tistimony by witnesses in the Watergate bugging case. Chief Judge John J. Sirica announced the investigation after an emergency executive session of the courts 15 judges. The meeting was prompted by printed accounts by columnist Jack Anderson of verbatim testimony before the grand jury investigating the Watergate case.

The government is upset, apparently, Anderson said in a statement, because we nailed down the testimony precisely rather than relying upon hearsay, Anderson said it was the constitutional right of a free press to publish infor-1 mation beneficial to the public. One factor that-persuaded the President to throw open the Watergate investigation, say Whaite House sources, was our access to the grand jury findings. The cout order, signed by Sirica, did not mention Anderson by name, but it was apparent the columnist would be questioned about the cource of his information. Any person having knowledge of the circum-stances of such unauthorized disclosure is requested to communicate directlry with the U.S. attorney, the court order said.

Sirica also said the U.S. attorney was instructed to conduct a grand jury investigation into the unauthorized disclosure ot the transcript that has apparently taken place. His order said grand jury investigations are secret and must remain so. Secrecy during actual inquiry preserves the integrity of the grand jury by protecting the innocent and encouraging fret-disclosure by persons who have information with respect to possible commission of crimes, the order said. Meanwhile, President Nixon telephoned his personal reassurances to his embattled aide, John W.
