They would remove American mines from North Vietnamese harbors once a cease-fire agreement is signed. Coinciding with Haig's second visit in six weeks, Thieu's government began a new propaganda campaign in support of Thieu's demands for withdrawal of North Vietnamese forces from South Vietnam, application of the proposed ceasefire to Cambodia and Laos and guarantees that there would be no coalition government. Thieu's closest adviser, Hoang Due Nha, Senate President Nguyen Van Huyen and other top officials have been giving a number of Western newsmen "background" interviews.

Reports from Washington earlier this month said the Nix on administration envisions a pullback of some but not all of North Vietnam's 145,000 troops in South Vietnam though it is not specified in the nine-point draft agreement announced by Hanoi and Kissinger Oct. 26. Informed sources said Kissinger, during his negotiations with Hanoi's Le Due Tho in Paris in mid-October, got the impression that the North Vietnamese understood they must reduce the number of their troops in the South, but no hard and fast agreement was reached on this point. The New York Times reported today that Haig carried a personal letter from President Nixon to Thieu urging him to accept a cease-fire plan as soon as possible The Times quoted well- placed administration officials as saying that if the aide's mission is successful, ry Kissinger could be in a position to conduct final negotiations on a4 cease-fire package with the North Vietnamese in Paris late next week.

If I (Ml 4 SAIGON (AP) President Nguyen Van Thieu told an envoy from President Nixon today that all North Vietnamese troops must be withdrawn from South Vietnam before an agreement to end the war can be finalized, a newspaper controlled by the president's office reported. Thieu conferred for nearly two hours with Gen Alexander M. Haig Jr. shortly after he arrived in Saigon to urge Thieu to go along with the cease-fire agreement presidential adviser Henry A.

Kissinger worked out with the North Vietnamese in Paris. Haig is Kissinger's chief assistant. The newspaper Tin Song, which is financed by Thieu's private secretary, quoted a high-level source as saying that Thieu in his meeting with Haig insisted on the total withdrawal of all North Vietnamese troops from the South. Thieu reportedly said he would not accept any private agreements or tacit understandings on a pullout. "The Republic of Vietnam has stressed that in South Vietnam there are about 300,000 North Vietnamese troops, not 140,000 as the United States has said," the officials said, "and the Republic of Vietnam demands that these troops must totally withdraw to the North Any temporary withdrawal of a symbolic number and any under-the-table agreements regarded as tacit understandings will not be considered valid." The report said Thieu also told Haig that the demilitarized zone must be restored at the 17th parallel as provided in the 1954 Geneva agreement which divided Vietnam.

A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy said he could neither confirm nor deny reports of the personal letter. Meanwhile, the U.S. military command accelerated its planning for a complete American withdrawal from Vietnam in the event of a cease-fire. Informants said American troop strength in Vietnam would drop below the 27,000 ceiling ordered by Nixon by Dec.

The 303-member committee chooses the national chairman. New York state chairman Joseph Crangle, in an apparent reference to Mrs. West-wood, called Thursday for some "changes nationally to demonstrate to the public where the mainstream of the Democratic party is." A Buffalo attorney who has been often mentioned as a possible successor to Mrs. Westwood, Crangle declined during a New York news conference to urge her ouster. But he said "the determination of whether she stays or leaves is not something Jean herself can decide." Crangle said many Democrats felt the party had leaned too far to the left and warned that the defeat of McGovern could produce a conservative backlash.

Mrs. Westwood, the first woman to head a national political party, asserted that she and Vice Chairman Basil Patterson "have no intention of resigning and I believe that we have the support of a majority" of the DNC.

Meanwhile, government officials said Thursday that damage to the Bureau of Indian Affairs Building during the six-day occupation totaled more than $500,000.

They said the building would be out of operation for at least another week. The last of the Indians, who were protesting government treatment of their people, left the building Wednesday night shortly after the deadline set down by a federal-court order. A Justice Department spokesman said Thursday no decision has been made concerning prosecution of the protesting Indians But Interior Department officials and tribal Indian leaders asked that offenders be prosecuted. About a dozen memliers of the National Tribal Chairmen's Association met with White House advisers and then called for prosecution of Indians who occupied the building. An Indian who attended the meeting said the agreement recommending "no prosecution for the seizure and occupation" of the building was signed by White House aides "to prevent bloodshed." The White House representatives declined to comment.

But a government spokesman said any decision to prosecute would not violate the agreement worked out with representatives of the American Indian Movement.

Informants reported a substantial increase in supplies moving through the panhandle for the Communist forces in South Vietnam. "We've increased our air attacks to match their increase in supply efforts," said one official. However, sources said the bombing halt above the 20th parallel, ordered by President Nixon on Oct. 22 to improve the climate for peace negotiations, remained in effect. They said it was not likely to be lifted even though the North Vietnamese are taking advantage of it to repair such supply lines as the two railroads to China.

Hanoi accused the United States of "a brazen violation of the commitment of the United States government to cease unconditionally all bombardments of North Vietnam." U. S. officials in Saigon said the North Vietnamese foreign ministry apparently was referring to the draft cease-fire agreement worked out in Paris last month but still not signed. The U.S. Command reported that its fighter-bombers flew 180 strikes in the North Vietnamese panhandle Thursday, 50 per cent more than the average number of raids since Oct.

More than 400 fighter-bombers strikes were flown in South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, sources said, while the B52 heavy bombers made more than 100 strikes in North and South Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

WASHINGTON (AP) -Jean Westwood has declared she will battle opponents plotting to oust her as Democratic national chairman in the first contest of the post-election struggle for party control. "Jean Westwood is alive and well and intends to remain on the job," she told a news conference Thursday, two days after President Nixon's landslide victory over George McGovem.

But her opponents argued that the massiveness of McGovern's defeat he lost in 49 states heightens the Otto Stiller Dies at 78 Otto Stiller died at St. Vincent Hospital Thursday night just a few days after being admitted. He was 78. He was the photographer and photo collector among a family of brothers who founded and developed commercial photography here before 1900.

Stiller was the original Green Bay Packer photographer and the first to take game movies of the team. His collection included shots of the 1929 World Championship team. He was proud of a letter he received from Thomas A. Edison in 1924 in response to some suggestions he had made for improving the inventor's phonograph machine.

Courage 4 I a i I n.r Iv I By JANE HAMILTON Press-Gazette Staff Writer It all began in 1967 when Mr and Mrs. Dick Staniske of Ashwaubenon noticed their 5-year-old son Jeff was "unusually clumsy. Now five years later, the Staniskes are preparing themselves for the inevitable because this may be Jeff's last Christmas. The bright, attractive youngster is afflicted with a rare terminal disease. A form of Ataxia, it's a particularly vicious ailment, attacking the cerebellum portion of the brain and causing it to slowly degenerate.

As a result, Jeff's initial clumsiness has gradually given way to paralysis. He is confined to a wheel chair and has little use of his arms or hands. His speech is slurred and just recently he began having problems with bladder control. Doctors tell the Staniskes that eventually Jpff will be immobile, his eyesight and rearing will falter along with bowel functions. Finally lung and trachea failure will ena Uie youngster life.

Now they can only wait, be ause there is no effective medication or treatment. Specialists say Jeff has about eight months left. The Staniskes reflect on the past five years with a type of sad courage doctors who were unable to diagnose Jeff's problem, uncertainty, blind alleys, false hopes. It was only when Jeff's disease was positively diagnosed at Marshfield Clinic in 1971 that his parents learned it is hereditary. "Barbara and I found out then that we're both carriers" (of the genes which cause the disease), Staniske said.

"The doctors said the chance of two people like us meeting and getting married were a million to one." It's still a mystery as to which ancestors passed the defective genes down to Mr, and Mrs, Staniske, Family histories have been done, but without success. Now the couple is concerned that their only other child Steven, 6, may one day be afflicted. However, he shows no signs of it, and doctors say that generally in a family where the disease is in evidence, only one of four children are affected. There is a chance that Steven, while not affected, could be a carrier and possibly pass it on to any children he might have. Due to the progressiveness of the illness, doctors at one time advised that Jeff be admitted to Central Colony, but the Staniskes decided to keep him home.

"That was not the place for Jeff," Mrs. Staniske said "Most of the patients there are extremely retarded and there'd be no one for him to communicate with Jeff is mentally alert, and we knew he'd be sitting there wondering, 'Why did Mom and Dad put me here9' "No," she added, "we've decided we have to do it our way "And," Staniske said, "we want to be with him when it happens. Jeff must be confined to home much of the time, watching television and enjoying the antics of his little dog "Schuttles." For a time he attended Howe School.
