Peace talks termed icy PARIS (AP)--The talks between Henry A. Kissinger and Le Duc Tho resumed yesterday in an apparently icy atmusphere. An aura of grim confrontation hung over the new efforts to negotiate a Vietna" peace settlement. President Nixon's security adviser and the North Vietnamese politburo member con- ferred for 4 1/2 hours in a Communist-owned villa in suburban Gif sur Yvette. It was their first meeting since the talks were suspended on Dec. 13 and President Nixon unleashed an unprecedented wave of bombing attacks on the North Vietnamese heartland. For the first time, there were no smiles or handshakes between the two sides, and Tho left Kissinger standing on the doorstep for almost a minute without sending an aide to escort him inside. Kissinger finally pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, William Sullivan, and other aides. At the end of the meeting, the North Vietnamese again broke with long-established custom and conspicuously failed to escort the Americans to the door. Kissinger left grim-faced, without his familiar smile. LE DUC THO American and North Vietnamese officials declined to comment on the break with estab- .snubs Kissinger (See TALKS page 2) Sniper case spurs I congressional calls -I ii a for stronger law WASHINGTON (AP)--The New Orleans Tuesday, January 9, 1973 sniper shooting prompted new congress- ional calls yesterday for making it a federal crime to kill or assault po- lice or firemen while they're doing OV42;tttt their duty.
