at their lowest point to two
months today as U. S. bombing
of North Vietnam resumed and
weeks of optimistic speculation
ended. ______... . —
U. S. officials said peace ef-
forts had receded to their pre-
Christmas position.
President Johnson, in an-
nouncing the resumption, at
bombing late Monday, said he
had hoped the cease-fire during
the lunar new year "might lead
to some abatement of hostilities
and to moves toward peace.”
But he said the North Viet-
namese had used the pause "for
major re-supply efforts of their
troops in South Vietnam."
Johnson apparently referred
to Sunday night's meeting to
London between Soviet Premier
Alexei Kosygin and British
Prim« Minister Harold Wilson
when he said: “Despite our ef-
forts and thoae of third parties,
no other response has yet come
from Hanoi."
Johnson earlier had indicated
determination to resume toe air
WBr to the absence of any North
Vietnamese easing of military
activity.
But the North Vietnamese

ing and withdrawal of troops
