However, the current opti- mism about the possibility of peace negotiations is based mainly on the massive peace of- fensive which the United States has launched quietly and se- cretly, accompanied by the halt H\in bombing of North Viet Nam. The speed with which the Viet 1|\Cong has offered a four-day truce Jan. 20-24 and the encour- 4\aging response from the Saigon administration suggests there may have been an underground peace feeler between Hanoi and 'triguing, for Warsaw is the site Faint Light A ppe In Tunnel of War Washington which preceded the halt of American air strikes. In any case, Washington now has launched a concerted peace drive with Vice-President Hu- bert Humphrey pressing his case with the Japanese govern- ment while U.S. Ambassador Foy Kohler met Soviet Presi- dent Nikolai Podgorny and am- bassador-at-large, Averell Har- riman, talked with Polish for- eign minister, Adam Rapacki. And in Vatican City, Pope Paul received Arthur Goldberg, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, in private audience and was told President Johnson ap- preciated the Pontiff's efforts to bring about the Christmas truce in Viet Nam.

MAY BE ANXIOUS The Soviet Union and Britain are co-chairmen of the 1954 Ge- neva conference on Indochina and the view in London is the Russians may be just as anxious as the West to bring the Viet- namese war to a halt. The alternative is the danger of a world holocaust. The U.S. now is prepa to boost its military force in South Viet Nam to 200,000 from the current 175,000. More American troops are being moved in each day. Protection of these troops will require heavier aerial and sea support. The greater American involvement undoubtedly will bring new U.S. military deter- mination that goals must be achieved, no matter what the) cost may be. But the opportunity is ripe for} negotiations. Perhaps the Soviet agreement to invite Prime Min- ister Wilson to Moscow in Feb- tuary is an indication it wants East-West tensions reduced.

Britain has suggested, how- ever, that for the sake of con- venience, the tentative Jan. 10 opening which Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Nigeria's prime minister, has proposed, be postponed until the end of Jaruary or early February. Prime Minister Wilson had initially shown some reluctance to attend such a conference where African critics 'could shower him with abuse for fail- ing to oust Rhodesia's Ian Smith regime which seized in- dependence from Britain, but a British official said Wilson is ready to attend and "regrets" the attitude of Australia's Sir Robert Menzies. Prime Minister Menzies maintained the Lagos corifer- ence would be only a forum for African criticism of Britain's policy but Wilson is reported to feel this no longer is the case.

Freighter Tops For Automation VANCOUVER (CP) -- The freighter Frank H. Brown may be homely, but she is just about the ultimate in automation. The 6,000-ton vessel is the largest visible symbol of a cur- rent $8,000,000 expansion pro- gtam of the White Pass and Yukon Corp, Ltd. Ungainly as the vessel may look, she was built at a cost of more than $5,000,000 to carry freight in temperature - con- trolled containers from Vancou- ver to Skagway. From the Alas- kan panhandle seaport, the con- tainers are shipped by rail to Whitehorse, Y.T. A company spokesman Says the vessel is "a very dull ship." "She has been working out so beautifully--with so few prob- lems--that it is hard to call her exciting. She performs just as she is supposed to." THREE ROUND TRIPS Her maiden voyage to Skag- way and back was Nov. 16 and since then she has made the rourd trip three times. Canadian Vickers Ltd. of Mon- treal built the vessel, which has two funnels placed well aft; a travelling gantry crane and a beam of 70 feet, unusual for a ship with a length of 394 feet.
