By THE CANADIAN PRESS Hopes for a period of con- tinued peace in Viet Nam were , smashed when Christmas cease- fires of varying length, offered by: North Viet Nam on the one hand and South Viet Nam and other, were not completely ob- served. c Despite the resumption of fighting, there was a Christmas atmosphere in Viet Nam. A spokesman in Saigon said U.S. planes, which at a late hour Sunday had not resumed their regular schedule of bombings in North Viet Nam, had made their final Christmas Eve strike into the north of a festive one, They parachuted 5,000 Christ- mas packages into Hanoi-con- trolled territory. The packages contained greeting cards, calen- dars and health hints. U.S, marines in the Da Nang area played host to 15,000 South Vietnamese children snd 6,000 adults at Christmas parties. The marines distributed almost toys and tons of cookies and candies in South Viet Nam. CELEBRATES MASSES In Vatican City, Pope Paul, disappointed and _ concerned about the failure of the Viet Nam truce, which-he had hoped _ could be extended, celebrated christmas masses. He began with a midnight mass in the Sistine Chapel for diplomats ac- credited to the Holy See. After a few hours sleep he arose early Christmas morning and drove six miles to a working - class suburb of Rome to celebrate mass for the neighborhood in a simple parish church. Then he returned to Vatican City for mass in St. Peter's Square, where he extended blessings to the world. Twenty - thousand visitors from points as far away as Taipei and Helsinki descended on the Holy Land for Christmas weekend. Hotels set up extra cots to them places to lay their heads, As Christmas dawned over the Judean , the sun burst out, raising the curtain for a day of parades, brass bands and general merrymaking in the streets. Pilgrims knelt and kissed the spot, deep in a rock- hewn grotto in Bethlehem, where tradition says Christ was born. First event of the day was a midnight mass at St. Cather- - ine's.

When the Latin mass ended, the patriarch of Jerusalem, Msgr. Alberto Gori, appeared carrying a doll-like figure of the infant Jesus on a tray of gold, Msgr. Gori descended the steps to the grotto and placed the fig- ure on a 14-pointed silver star bearing the words: "Here Jesus A saa bwas born of the Virgin ary." Through the day the bells rang out, boy scouts marched with thumping drums, military brass bands tootled and a drum and bugle corps of schoolboys enlivened the morning.

The fact that the United States had not resumed bombings of North Viet Nam, even two days after the end of the ceasefire, was seen as an indication John- son still was seeking a peaceful settlement, When the United States and South Viet Nam were consider- ing last week a 30-hour Christ- mas ceasefire, so long as their troops were not fired upon, Johnson kept aloof from the eventual announcement and, publicly, the decision - making. He made no public comment on the ceasefire, even though he normally is quick to identify himself with good news. In many quarters, his silence was interpreted as indicating re- luctance to associate himself with a move that might go awry: And some observers were con- vinced after the ceasefire failed to hold, that this was his reason- ing. i HAS DIFFERENT VIE W However, one source close to the president cast Johnson's aloofness in a different light by LBJ Still | Is Hopeful DUTT TO aah ae "He is silent because he is listening." ' According to this source, Johnson said nothing because he was most interested in Hanoi's reaction and did not want. to cloud the atmosphere. The president and Mrs. John- son Sunday attended service at the First Baptist Church in Johnson City. He shook hands eagerly with everyone in sight --even one of his Sect Service bodyguards--and he signed au- tographs readily. Meanwhile, almost 100 Texans --men, women and children--in- terrupted their Christmas week- end Sunday for a. three-hour peace vigil near the LBJ Ranch, urging the president to. use the power of his office to bring peace conference. STAND BESIDE ROAD The demonstrators, many of whom had come more than 200 miles to take part in the vigil, stood silently on the grass along- side the road which passes in front of the president's ranch about three miles away. They left their posts in late afternoon to return home after a letter was given to Secret Service Agent Clarence Knetsch for delivery to the president.

DOOR OF BANK LEFT OPEN BUENOS AIRES, Argon tina (Reuters) -- Thieves broke into a branch of the National Bank of Argentina and leisurely stole 38,000,000 pesos ($224,200) 18 days ago. Sunday, there were 29,- 000,000 pesos (171,000) in the bank, for the taking, and no- bedy bothered. The care- taker had left the door open for 24 hours by mistake.

WHEELER SAIGON (AP)--For the third Straight day, the United States kept its planes out of North Viet Nam's skies today, but U.S. Marines killed 63 Viet Cong in ground skirmishes after a short, interrupted Christmas truce. The marines reported strikes against the Communists during patrols around the big U.S. air base at Da Nang, 380 miles northeast of Saigon. A squad of marines pounced on about 40 Viet Cong, killing 15 7 hamlet called Quang Ha ea 1, Two hours later a marine pla- toon near Quang Ha No, 2, about two miles: was at- tacked by 75 Viet Cong armed with automatic weapons. The Americans called in ar- tillery support, tanks and armed fhelicapters. When the brief en- counter 'was over they counted the bodies of 41 Viet Cong. AIR SORTIES LIGHT Air attacks were made only on suspected Viet Cong concen- trations in South Viet Nam, U.S. spokesmen said. Ground action also was reported in low key for the last 24 hours. A U.S. spokesman said early today that no orders had. come yet for resumption of the air war against North Viet Nam. This immediately raised specu- lation of another bombing Pause in hopes of persuading North Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh's regime to come to the conference table. Asked if he saw any signifi- cance to the halt beyond the 30- hour U.S. - South Vietnamese ceasefire, the spokesman said: "If there is any, I don't know what it is." U.S. jets began plastering bridges, roads, barracks and other strategic targets in North Viet Nam last Feb. u following a Viet Cong mortar attack which killed eight Americans ata U.S. base at Pleiku, in South Viet Nam's central high- lands.

STOP BEFORE TRUCE U.S. planes dropped their last bombs over North Viet Nam just before the start of the al- lied truce at 6 p.m. last Friday, Air Base Viet Cong ceasefire began an hour later, Some military commanders were reported concerned by the pause in air attacks since they felt it gave the Communists a chance to step up the move- ment of men and supplies to- ward the Ho Chi Minh trail leading to the South. U.S, spokesmen referred all questions about the political im- plications of a pause back to Washington. Officials there were silent.

ORDERED U.S. officials said the state department had instructed the military command to extend the truce as long as possible, But even as the instructions arrived the Viet Cong had al- ready broken the ceasefire with a rash of incidents, U.S. spokes- men said. American headquarters sent out orders to all units early Sunday to resume normal oper- ations, thereby sealing the end of the truce, Viet Cong attacks during the truce killed at least a dozen Americans and up to 50 Soutiy Vietnamese troops, U.S. spokes- men said. Many others were wounded. : During the 30 - hour allied truce period, which ended at midnight Saturday, there were 84 incidents instigated by the Com ists, a U.S. spol said.
