U.S. Suspends Talks
PARIS (UPI) --The United States Thursday for the second time indefinitely suspended the deadlocked Vietnam peace conference, indicating hopes also were dim for secret negotiations.In a repeat of his March 23 action which canceled regular weekly sessions for five weeks, U.S. negotiator William J. Porter told North Vietnam and the Viet Cong it was useless trying to talk to them."Let it be recorded that it is impossible to induce you to discuss particular subjects bearing on a peaceful settlement," he said. "That truth is as clear as your military aggression in South Vietnam. We therefore see no grounds for a meeting next week.""U.S. Suspends Talks", by (UPI), published in the Pacific Stars and Stripes on Saturday, May 6, 1972 and reprinted from European and Pacific Stars and Stripes, a Department of Defense publication copyright, 2002 European and Pacific Stars and Stripes.
