RYAN The key to success or failure of Viet Nam peace bids may rest in the fragile hands of an old revolutionary caught in a struggle for power between the world's two Communist giants, Ho Chi Minh, 75, has worked half a century for international communism as a tactician of revolution, Today, as president of North Viet Nam, he con: fronts a situation that seem insoluble. As -an_ internationalist, Ho probably is inclined to follow Moscow's lead, But Ho has a huge neighbor on his northern frontier: China, He seems captive of @ majority faction of his own politburo which follows Peking's lead. This factionheaded by Tru- ong Chinh, chairman of the North Viet Nam National As- sembly--evidently took over in Hanoi last April in a sudden shakeup of the North Vietnam- ese hierarchy, It evidently sub- scribes to the Chinese formula of violent "people's war" as the only effective road to world communism, From time to time there had been evidence that Ho was will- may a free agent. His current state- ments reflect the granite + hard line. They also reflect the So- viet-Chinese struggle. Moscow is sending its Com- munist party leader, Alexander N. Shelepin, to Hanoi, His mis- sion undoubtedly is to make So- viet influence paramount. If he succeeds it could lead eventu- ally to some sort of accommo- dation with the United States, since the U.8.8.R, regards the Southeast Asia situation as highly dangerous. The Chinese accuse the Rus- sians of '"'behind-scenes bargain- ing' with the Americans on Viet Nam. But Russia, evidently content with a longer-range view of rev- olution which might be less dan- gerous to Soviet security, is promising North Viet Nam mas- sive economic, technical and military aid which the Chinese cannot match. March 29, the opening of the 23rd Soviet Communist party congress, the Soviet leadership is expected to reaffirm practi- cally every policy developed since 1956. The break with China will then be just about un- bridgeable.

Critics in the past --particularly in European Communist capitals called for a halt in the bomb- tiations. Nor were those U.S. officials who knew allowed to tell why Harriman and Goldberg showed up suddenly in Europe or where they were going next. Harriman arrived unan- nounced in Warsaw. Poland has relations with North Viet Nam and is on the three-nation inter- national control commission dealing with Viet Nam. Canada and India are the other mem- bers. Informed sources here ex- pected that Harriman might go on to Hungary, another third- party channel to Hanoi, and perhaps to Yugoslavia, leader of a group of non-aligned coun- tries favoring Viet Nam nego- tiations, 'before returning to Washington. It was anticipated that Gold- berg too might do some further travelling. In Moscow, U.S. Ambassador Foy D. Kohler paid what was described as a courtesy call on the new Soviet president, Niko- lai V.

Congressional leaders voiced little optimism that the bomb- ing suspension would produce peace feelers from Hanoi. Some said they are afraid they would use the pause to move fresh supplies to the Viet Cong guer- rillas.

(AP)--A noted astronomer said Wednes- day he has found evidence of canals and oases in seven of the 22 pictures taken of Mars by the Mariner IV spacecraft ear- ler this year. Dr. Clyde W. Tombaugh of the New Mexico State Univer- sity observatory told the annual meeting of the American Asso- Science that heretofore unex- plained dark streaks in the Mariner IV pictures coincide with markings he has seen in telescopic studies of the planet. "I know there are others who sev they can't see canals on Mars," he said at a briefing prior to his talk, "but I'd like| to see them have their eyes tested." Tombaugh said he believes the so-called canals are faults or fractures in the planet's crust, several miles wide. Their darkening and fading may be due, he said, to escape of hot on Mars. Dr. Tombaugh, noted astronomer from New Canals, Oases Detected In 7 Pictures Of Mars gases which melt a thin layer of frost and feed vegetation. The oases or dark smudges where the lines intersect, he speculated, may be asteroid-im- pact craters in which moisture gathers and promotes growth of some hardy plant, such as moss. Tombaugh displayed a hand- drawn map showing lines and smudges he has found in the area covered by Mariner IV, and gave a rundown on the markings in various frames. Many of them coincided with markings previously recorded through earth-based telescopes. Dr. John A. Ryan, Douglas Aircraft Co. research physicist, advanced a theory that the yel- low clouds in Mars' thin atmos- phere may be dust stirred up by whirlwinds such as the dust devils seen on earth's deserts. He said the dust devils may be formed by winds up to 500 miles an hour and, if so, could severely scour men and equip- ment landing in those areas. Samuel W. Hardy Quits FBI Post MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.
