in Talks Seen By LEWIS GULICK Associated Press Writer -WASHINGTON (AP) Nguyen Van Thieu's tough-sounding speech and cautious words from the White sending out a similar signal about for, a halt, to the Vietnam fighting. Headway, has been made in secret negotiations but more is needed before there I can be a firm deal to end the 'could come soon, but it is not right around the corner. Thieu's two-hour address i Tuesday included what might be expected from a South Vietnamese president broad-' casting to a home audience amidst a war, right after a cpn- a peace-seeking ally and enemy-aided speciila- tion that he is-being pressured to step down. He reaffirmed.his opposition to- a communist takeover of South enemy proposals for a three-segment coalition government, demanded that North Vietnamese forces go and declared no one can. sign a cease-fire agreement'' without Saigon's consent.

Thieu's public stand underlined the difficulties for presidential adviser Henry A. from sessions in Paris to those in Saigon in quest of a deal acceptable to all. It also pointed to "the possibility at least a military standdown while major political issues remain up for negotiation. A cease-fire, Thieu said, "may take place; before the U.S. presidential election" Nov.

7 or just a few months final. decision must be reached when we and the communists decide to sit down together." The White House; version Tuesday, following Kissinger's return from Saigon was that there has "been some progress" toward a negotiated Vietnam peace. Officials privately counseled against expecting a war-ending agreement by election day or shortly thereafter. It is recalled here, "too, that Kissinger thought he making progress his secret sessions with Hanoi's Le Due Tho last year. The negotiations broke down with an angry public exchange last January.

With Thieu setting forth his terms in explicit fashion officials expect Kissinger will commute to Paris and iperhaps to Saigon yet again. Presumably he sought to persuade Thieu to take an agreed position and next- will try to convince the Vietnamese to go along. 'Nixon's publicized peace plan allows for an Indochina cease- fire, return prisoners and U.S. withdrawal as a first step, a. political solution to bq left to-Uhe South Vietnamese "freei from outside interference." The key issue right along has been will rule Sputh-! Vietnam.

If Nixon could win agreement on military settlement terms, the United States would be out of the war when the shooting stopped. North Vietnam's premier sounded the tiations theme' in a "Newsweek interview published Sunday, saying the secret talks are making a "positive evolution" toward a cease-fire and South Vietnamese political negotia- Premier Pham Van Dong was vague, however, on just' what political conditions Hanoi is holding'out as 1 a price for a cease-fire. At one point, he said: "Our. iron will is being applied to bring about a three- sided coalition which will lead to national reconciliation and independence." Thieu was equally firm in denouncing what he termed a deceitful enemy proposal aimed at giving control of South Vietnam to the communists. "I hold the three-segment formula to be absurd and baseless," he said.

"How can we accept such a disguised coalition government after fighting for decades?" iN LAMAR SINCE JAN. 7 Traffic Injuries 86 102 'PARIS, TEXAS (75460), WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1972 32 Pages in 2 Sections Talks Cut Air Action SAIGON (AP) The United States reduced its fighter-bomber strikes against North Vietnam again Tuesday and confined them to the southern panhandle below the 20th parallel in a sort of a partial bombing halt aimed at improving the atmosphere for peace negotiations, informed sources said today.
