Oi!l The K.. not Russia Denounces Nixon Peace Bid MOSCOW-The Soviet Union Saturday denounced President Nixon's Indochina ceasefire proposal as mere "dodging and shifting."

The editorial was signed by Sergei Vishnevsky, a specialist in international affairs. The ceasefire plan is "five points aimed at legalizing and perpetuating the Watchman Believes e Shot Protestors MORRISTOWN, Term.-A security officer employed by the school said Saturday he apparently was responsible for the wounding of three black students during a demonstration at Morristown Junior College. Lt. Chuck Hawkins, of Collins-Murray Guard Service Inc. said the disclosure the . students had been hit by shotgun fire, rather than 38. caliber slugs, as first reported, led him to believe he was responsible. "It has to be me, because I'm the only one who fired off a shotgun that night," the security officer said. Three students, all from Ponpano Beach, Fla., were wounded in the shooting. ' v The three were injured early Friday morning after about 100 students at the predominantly Negro school took over the Administration Building to back up demands for more liberal curfew hours, and longer library periods. Hawkins said he and three other security service guards were summoned to the campus when it appeared trouble was brewing. He said he was walking between the Administration Building and the men's dormitory searching for a fellow officer, whom he feared might have been hit by sniper fire, when he heard someone yell: "Man, Don't shoot. He's got a gun." Seconds later, he said, three shots rang out, and he answered with a single blast from his shotgun. Police said Hawkins came forward 2 with his story after it' was established the l: students had been hit with shotgun pellets. United States intervention in Indochina," Vishnevsky wrote. Pravda's description of Nixon's proposal was similar to a statement by the Communist Vietnam News Agency, broadcast by Tass. "The United States is striving to legalize the U.S. aggression in South Vietnam," the Vietnamese statement said. It also accused Nixon of trying to dodge demands for s p e e d y unconditional withdrawal of all U.S. troops and the troops of satellite countries from South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia." The Pravda editorial said that the U.S. government "continues dodging and shifting to the people's demand for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Indochina." Nixon's proposal calls for keeping in office "the most odious figures of the Thieu-Ky regime," the editorial said. It said the "lawful" representatives of the Vietnamese people "quite justly reject Nixon's five points which do not provide a correct basis for an end to the war, for a political settlement."
