"It takes almost as much en-

to be positive."

WASHINGTON— U-S officials
promise quick and careful study
of South Vietnam’s proposal that
it take over the leading role in
the Paris peace talks with North
Vietnam. .South Vietnam’s Pre-
sident Thieu has made the pro-
posal. Meanwhile diplomatic offi-
cials feel Thieu’s position in-
creases the urgency of a meeting
: between President Johnson and
President-elect Nixon. Adminis-
tration authorities are expected
to consult quickly with Nixon
or his representatives.
Under Thieu’s plan Hanoi
would be the main communist
negotiator.
It is unlikely that the North
Vietnamese will accept the pro-
posal because it relegates the
Nations’ Liberation Front to a
position below the Saigon re-
gime.
