About 1,000 feet away, the car slowed down to about five miles an hour, Mr, Trudel said. The bandits knocked him out and dumped him on the street where police found him, bleed- ing.

Quill said the transit authority had not made an offer yet for a new two-year contract and the union negotiators would not return to the bargaining table until Lindsay had joined the talks on a continuing basis Transit authority chairman Joseph E. O'Grady told report- ers Thursday. "We're prepared to put a money offer on the table when Quill comes down from that space ship that he's in in the-clouds; It's absolutely ridic- ulous to expect us to make a proposal against a $680,000,000 demand." The TWU has asked for a four-day, 32-hour work week without a reduction in pay; a 30 per cent increase in wages, which now average $3.13 an hour; retirement at half pay after 25 years of service, six weeks' vacation after one year's employment and other benefits.

Arthur J. Goldberg, U.S. am- bassador to the United Nation! was in Paris to begin a series of meetings with President 'Charles de Gaulle and Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville. Four hours later, he was to report on President Johnson's peace moves to the permanent council of NATO in Paris. The meeting was announced early today. Ambassador-at-large W. Aver- ell Harriman, the other presi- dential envoy in Europe, mean- while was scheduled to talk to President Tito of Yugoslavia to- day at the Brdo castle near Ljubljana. Harriman met Wed- nesday with Polish Foreign Minister Adam Rapacki and Thursday with the Polish Com- munist party chief, Wladys- law Gomulka. The campaign Thursday also included Ottawa, where Mc- George Bundy, Johnson's spe- cial assistant for national secur- ' ity affairs,-went to talk over the situation with Prime Minister Pearson. ISSUE STATEMENT Bundy's secret visit to Ottawa was followed by a telephone conversation between Pearson and Johnson. The prime minis- ter's office issued a statement saying Pearson 'expressed ap- preciation and support for the latest American efforts to find a peaceful solution to the con- flict in Viet Nam," Canada is a member of the 11- year-old international truce su- pervisory commission in Viet Nam, along with India and Po- land. The NATO meeting was ar- ranged Thursday night after a request by U.S. representatives. An American official said that despite the short notice and the New Year's holiday, a majority of the 15 council members was expecied to attend. Others would be represented by depu- ties, the official said. Goldberg's arrival in Paris came after Rome visits with Pope Paul Wednesday and Ital- ian officials Thursday. In Washington, Vu Van Thai, South Viet Nam's ambassador to the United States, described the peace moves as a test to see if North Viet Nam is ready for "a true peace settlement." URGES NEUTRALITY De Gaulle has been critical of U.S. policy, and has urged a neutrality plan for the Indochi- nese peninsula (North and South Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia). He has not said, however, how this neutrality should be en- forced, nor has he defined Chi- na's role. The peace hopes received an- ipe from North Viet Nam Thursday when radio Hanoi declared: ; "As long as the U.S. aggres- ors are still unwilling to really cognize our government's tand, all their contentions ut peace negotiations are only hypocritical and aimed at deceiving public opinion. | "The four-point stand of our government and the five-point statement of the South Nam (Viet Cong guerrilla) Na- tional Liberation Front provide a very fair and reasonable basis for a political settlement of the Viet Nam problem. "Tf an end is to be put to the state of war, there is only one and most simple way, that is, the U.S. aggressive troops must and the settlement of affairs of Viet Nam must be left to the Vietnamese themselves." Similar statements were made earlier this week by Com- munist North Viet Nam. The state department late Thursday released a transcript of an interview with State Sec retary Dean Rusk filmed Dec, 23 with the CBC. It said in part that contacts with the Commu- nist side have been "'clear, easy and frequent" but the problem is that we have "not yet found a basis for peace." Bundy Meets Pearson In 'Secret Visit' OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Min- ister Pearson expressed sup- port for latest American efforts for a peaceful settlement in Viet Nam in a Wednesday night talk with McGeorge Bundy, President Johnson's special as- sistant for national security affairs, the prime minister's of- fice said Thursday. Mr. Bundy's secret visit to Ottawa was followed by a tele- phone conference between Mr. Pearson and Mr. Johnson, now at his ranch near Austin, Tex. Word of Mr. Bundy's trip leaked out Thursday morning. A short time later Mr. Pear- son's office issued a statement saying the prime minister '"ex- pressed appreciation and sup- port for the' latest American efforts to find a peaceful solu- tion to the conflict in Viet Nam."
