PARIS <iP) —The North Viet-
amese declared Thursday there
irill be no further negotiations
ith Henry A. Kissinger until
United States commits itself
signing the draft peace agree-
ient.
North Vietnamese and Viet
long speakers denounced the Nix-
m administration for what they
lalled “a breach of promise” in
iling to sign the accord by Oct.
11, the deadline set by Hanoi.
The Saigon government warned
it the 165th weekly session of
he peace conference that it would
refuse to recognize any cease-fire
igreement concluded against its
vill.
In four hours of vituperation
wtween the opposing Vietnamese
lelegations, there was little to
show that “peace is at hand,” as
issinger, President Nixon’s na-
jonal security adviser, said last

Hanoi Calls Off Kissinger Talks
Blue Collar Workers Defect On McGovern
South Vietnamese delegation did
not directly refer to the peace
agreement in his speech but raised
a series of objections to what he
said were “utterly contradictory
and unacceptable” proposals.
The Viet Cong argued that in
failing to sign the agreement, the
United States shortened the
chances for U.S. prisoners of war
getting home by Christmas.
U.S. delegate William J. Porter
avoided the polemics of the other
three delegations. In a brief state
ment, he reiterated that the is
sues still to be clarified in the
draft agreement “can be settled
quickly by effort and will.”
He warned that the United
States would not allow itself to
be rushed into a settlement of
“the few remaining problems of
substance.”
He denied the repeated Com
munist charge that these prob
lems were mere pretexts for de
lay, and declared:
“Misunderstandings, if they ex
ist, must be faced frankly and
dealt with. Excessive haste in
settling the final elements would
jeopardize the work that has been
done and might place the future
viability of the agreement in
doubt.”
Kissinger told a news confer
ence last week it was up to Hanoi
to set the date for a final secret
negotiating session. He said the
United States has given “h com
mitment that a text that will be
agreed to at the next session will
be the final text and that no new
changes will be proposed.”
The North Vietnamese spokes
man, Nguyen Thanh Le, told
newsmen after the session that
the United States had given such
a commitment on the text ne
gotiated last month.
Trudeau Faces Parliament
Despite Electoral Setback
Texas Law Allowing Seizure Of
®roperty Declared Unconstitutional
NEW ORLEANS <A>> — Texas
aw allowing landlords to seize
;heir tenants’ property for non-
jayment of rent was declared
inconstitutional Thursday by the
federal appeals court here.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals based its ruling on a
ecent opinion of the U.S. Su
preme Court, which some attor
neys believe will have a major
■ffect on all property laws that

court ruling that declared uncon
stitutional a statute giving banks
the authority to seize property
without benefit of court hearing.
In the Texas case, the appeals
court said that owners of Cosmo
politan Apartments in Houston
had no right to enter the apart
ment of Claudine Hall and take
a television set for non-payment
of rent.
The Texas statute, the court
noted, gives landlords the author
ity to enter into another’s home
and seize property without hav
ing to first show the validity or
the accuracy of the landlord’s
case.
The tenant first should have
been granted a hearing, the court
said.
“The constitutional right to be
heard is a basic aspect of the
duty of government to follow a
fair process of decision making
when it acts to deprive a person
of his possessions,” said the 5th
Circuit.
The appeals court said its rul
ing was based on a high court
case which invalidated Florida
and Pennsylvania statutes which
provided for summary seizure of
goods in a person’s possession
under a writ obtained by posting
a bond. Under the laws of those
states, no court hearing was re
OTTAWA (A*) — Pierre Elliott
Trudeau said Thursday night his
Liberal government will stay on
and face Parliament despite the
stunning electoral setback that
chopped away his majority.
The prime minister acknowl
edged in a television news con
ference that his Liberals’ showing
in the Monday elections “reflected
the view of a good many Cana
dians that the government for
the last 4A4 years has not been
satisfactory.”
“The continuation of my gov
ernment will depend on the Par
liament,” he said.
Processing of election results
developed Thursday into a tie be
tween the Liberal and Conserva
tive parties at 109 seats each in
the House of Commons, with re
counts still under way in several
tight races.
The balance in the 264-member
house is held by the socialistic
New Democrats, with 30 seats.
David Lewis, the New Demo
crat party leader, pledged his
support for the Liberal govern
ment on condition that the gov
ernment does not introduce legis
lation the New Democrats cannot
accept.
Lewis, in a news conference
held after Trudeau’s, said the
New Democrats would not seek
to obstruct Parliament and throw
the country into new elections,
but he added that no Canadian
believes the new Parliament can
last a full term of four years.
Robert Stanfield, the Conserva
tive leader, sharply criticized
Trudeau’s decision.
“Mr. Trudeau made it clear to
night the arrogant desire of his
government to hang on to power,”
Stanfield said. “He is treating the
election results as simply another
somehow get away with it.”
Trudeau said Monday’s election
indicated to him “that there have
been some failures.”
But Trudeau said he is not go
ing to “govern for any particular
party” and added that he does not
believe the Liberal government
needs the New Democrats.
He said that despite his party’s
setback, the elections have given
no clear sign of approval for any
one party.
Trudeau said he has not been
able to account for the Liberal
decline but hopes to present legis
lation that will respond to com
plaints indicated by the elections.
He said an economic package
will have to be placed before Par
liament that will fight unemploy
ment without causing “galloping
inflation.”
PRINCETON, N.J. <A>) _ Poll
ster George Gallup says defection
of blue collar workers from the
Democrats largely accounts for
President Nixon’s 59-36 per cent
lead over George McGovern.
However, McGovern’s narrow
ing of the gap by six points since
the start of the campaign is main
ly due to winning back manual
workers to their traditional vot
ing pattern, Gallup said.
“The final days of the campaign
could see a continued return to
the fold of these traditionally
Democratic voters, who represent
the largest voting bloc in the
electorate,” Gallup said.
His findings were based on in
terviews with 3,870 registered
voters out of a total sample of
4,855 adults during the first three
weeks of October.
Gallup said McGovern trailed
Nixon 44 to 49 among blue collar
workers, the lowest score of any
Democratic candidate since 1936,
when scientific polling was intro
duced.
Lefs Re-elect
STATE TREASURER
HIS PROVEN RECORD
MERITS YOUR VOTE AND SUPPORT
LOOK AT THESE FACTS!
Jesse James has handled over 44 Billion Dollars of the peoples'
money with every dollar properly accounted for—as proven by
annual reports of the State Auditor.
Jesse James made for the people of Texas over $16,000,000.00
last year in interest earned on State Funds deposited in over
1,100 Texas Banks—more than any billion dollar bank in Texas
made net in 1970 or 1971.
Jesse James has financed a giant deficit in the General Revenue
Fund — which on April 26, 1972, reached a deficit peak of
$314,448,523.00 — without interest or discount cost to State
Employees and people who furnish goods and services to Texas,
such savings estimated to be over $50,000,000.00. If this $314,448,523.00 had been discounted by
3%, it would have cost the taxpayers over $9,420,000.00 for that period.
Jesse James has proven he knows how to handle your State Finances
efficiently.
