By NORMAN KEMPSTER
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
United States and North Viet-
nam will create a joint
economic commission to over-
see rebuilding of the war-torn
countrv with U.S. dollars, the
two sides announced todav.
A communique issued bv the
White House and Hanoi on four
davs of talks bv President
Nixon's envoy, Hcnrv A.
Kissinger, and North Viet-
namese leaders in Hanoi listed
no specific figures for U.S. post
waraid.
But the language displayed a
new cordiality between the two
nations.
"The normalization of rela-
tions between the Democratic-
Republic of (.North) Vietnam
and the United States will help
to insure stable peace in
Vietnam and contribute to the
cause of peace in Indochina and
Southeast Asia." the com-
munique said.
The announcement said the
two Indochina war enemies
'agreed that they would
continue to have periodic
exchanges of views in order to
ensure that the (cease-fire
agreement) and its protocols
are strictly and scrupulously
implemented.”
The two sides pledged anew
subject to negotiations and that
there was no reason to focus on
the$7.5 billion figure.

communique. North Vietnam

North Vietnam said 20 prison-
ers would be turned over to
U.S. authorities on the same

defense stifled the visitors. It
took away most of the Bobcats’
outside shooting and it also
resulted in mmerous miscues.
Grant Dukes, the Lobos leading
scorer this season, played one of
his better defensive games.
Several times, especially in the
first half, Dukes made perfect
assist passes to Krueger and
Marcus Johnson.
Johnsondidn’tneed much help.

With less than three minutes
elapsed in the first quarter, the
Lobos led 15-4. But that was just
toe beginning. Krueger made the
tons "oohandaah" on his rainbow
shots from toe country. He and
Johnson looked like they were
carrying on a personal vendetta
with toe Bobcats.
No one could believe it. but at

Lobos led 33-13. Had toe lieeu
