...would not oppose it or try to keep Thieu in power. Thieu now concedes that elections could be held before they are scheduled under the constitution (1971) and that the N.L.F. could take part. The more immediate problem is how the elections are to be brought about. The Communists demand Thieu's departure from power, or at least a coalition, even before elections are held.

Since 1957, the number of new wells drilled in the U.S. has dropped 40%; domestic reserves have remained nearly constant but demand for oil has increased by as much as 29%. Two weeks ago, Michael A.
