night from airplanes Kissinger er keeps 6 commuting ng on 'peace' 4 visits SAIGON (AP) Henry A. Kissinger broadened the quest for an Indochina peace settlement Sunday in a round of commuter conferences with the presidents of South Vietnam and Cambodia. Then on Monday morning he met here with President Nguyen Van Thieu for the sixth time in five days, The U.S. presidential adviser ferred with Thieu for two hours Monday. He had met with Thieu Sunday morning before flying to Phnom Penh for a three-hour conference with President Lon Nol.
Later on Sunday Kissinger commuted 1 back to Saigon for another meeting with the South Vietnamese President that lasted nearly two hours past dusk. The Monday meeting ended after two hours and 15 minutes, and Kissinger. returned to the U.S. Embassy, a spokesman said. In a related development, Premier Hang Thun Hak announced shortly before Kissinger's visit to Phnom Penh that the Cambodian government had "reached- agreement in principle" for peace talks with the Khmer Rouge, the Communist-led Cambodian insurgents allied I with the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese.

But the Khmer Rouge strength has increased from a little more than 5,000 last March to about 40,000 now. The premier of Laos, Prince Souvan'na Phouma, said in Paris that peace may corne soon in Indochina and that negotiations in his country had got off to a good start. The Pathet Lao is the adversary of Souvanna's government. The prince made his remarks in a statement at the airport while en route to the United States.
Before leaving Laos, the prince conferred with one of Kissinger's aides. Kissinger has held five conferences with Thieu since he arrived last Wednesday night, underscoring the intensity and seriousness of the peace talks. North Vietnam's premier, Pham Van Dong, said in an interview with Newsweek magazine that the three- way secret negotiations "are in an extremely important phase." The U.S. Embassy declined to say what Kissinger's next move would be. His schedule appeared flexible.
There was no immediate word when he would return to Washington to report to President Nixon. A Sources at two U.S. Air Force bases special alerts for air transport units, at reported the cancellation Sunday of first thought possibly to be in preparation for evacuation of, U.S. prisoners from North Vietnam.
