By ASSOCIATED PRESS
President Nixon has called
his two chief Vietnam negotia-
tors home from Paris for a fresh
review of the situation on the
eve of next Wednesday’s na-
tionwide anti-Vietnam war dem-
onstrations. The White House
policy meeting with Henry Cab-
ot Lodge and his deputy, Philip
Habib, is set for Monday or Tues-
day.
President Nixon also will meet
tomorrow with Defense Secre-
tary Laird and General Earle
Wheeler, the chairman of the
Joint Chief of Staff.
White House sources said the
administration has made no con-
clusive assessment as to whether
the recent downward trend in
casualties is intended by North
Vietnam and the Viet Cong as a
peace signal.
In Vietnam, meanwhile, the
war continues in a lull. US
troops fought only small clashes.
And casualties were light on
both sides.
