The former governor declared that McClellan could have gotten the information only from Production Marketing Administration files, which he said were "confidential and personal." He said McCiellan probably was aided in getting the information through his co-operation with the Republican Administration. Termed Ridiculous McClellan was informed of the McMath statement after he had finished a campaign speech at Texarkana. He first said that "it's too ridiculous to answer." He did reply, however.

McClellan said that the information to which McMath referred "is not restricted. "Other senators have the same information for their states. "As a senator, I am entitled to that information under any administration, and I intend to continue telling the people of Arkansas, including farmers, of my work in the Senate and esults I have achieved for them." Chambers expressed his views on the tidelands oil situation in a formal statement. McMath has repeatedly criticized McClellan for voting with the majority which gave title oil reserves to the individual coastal states rather than to the federal government. Chambers Hits McMath Chambers said, "The defeated governor (McMath) apparently be-! lieves that the congressional action giving the tidelands oil royalties to certain states was a tremendous steal engineered by the oil companies "The truth of the matter is this: The oil companies don't care who gets those royalties.

French officials said the conference then would meet on day of turth," either to declare a ceasefire or announce collapse of negotiations. While there is a general feeling of optimism here about prospects of achieving a cease-fire, there remain plenty of obstacles to be hurdled on the road to peace. Both Communist and Western delgations favor the principle that Viet united 1 Nam must eventually be under a government chosen in free elections.

But the Reds reportedly want elections within six months. The French prefer to hold off for two years, but have shown some willingness to compromise on 18 months. The French feel Western political parties in Viet Nam will have a better chance of winning elections if more time is allowed to give the people a full dose of life under the Reds and to make life in. south Viet Nam more palatable by improving economic and political conditions there.
