Kidnaping BY DAVID L. LANGFORD MIAMI (UPI) The 22-year-old wife of Gary Steven Krist, prime suspect in the Mackle kidnaping, said Monday her husband dreamed of "kidnaping someone to make a lot of money fast." In a telephone interview with the Miami Herald, Mrs. Carmer Simon Krist said, "Gary doesn't want to lead a mediocre life. He wants to be remembered. "He always wanted to make an impact on the world he lives in.

And, he likes nice clothes and cars. And. probably more she said. Her husband is charged by Suspect the FBI with masterminding the bizarre attempt to kidnap the willowly coed, keeping her four days in an underground box near Atlanta, demanding $500.000 ransom from her millionaire father, then losing nearly all the money as he was captured in the Florida swamps. Mrs.

Krist, contacted at her parents' home in Redwood City, said she left Miami two weeks ago, taking her two children, when her husband told her. "he din't love me "He told me several times the dream he used to have about kidnaping someone 10 NLF Rejects Two-Way Talks With S. Vietnam PARIS (UPI) -The Viet Congo's National Liberation Front rejected face-to-face negotiations with the South Vietnamese government Monday but left open the possibility of such a confrontation once the Vietnam talks begin on a four -power level. "All propositions deserve to be considered during the fourparty conference, said Tran Buu Kiem, head of the NLF delegation to the Paris talks. His statement, made in an interview with the French news agency AFP, was in response to a weekend offer by South Vietnam's vice president, Nguyen Cao Ky, 10 conduct two-way talks with the NLF.

Kiem said NLF negotiations with the government of South: Vietnam would serve no purpose because Saigon "represents no "The common character of all these propositions is that the United States refuses to enter into direct negotiations with the NLF, which is the useful and competent representative to resolve all the questions relative to South said Keim. In conjunction with Kiem's statement, the NLF delegation issued a communique signed by NLF President Nguyen Huu Tho calling on the "progressive American people to step up their fight to achieve peace on NLF terms." Earlier, in response to Ky's offer made Sunday in an interview broadcast on U. S. television, a spokesman for the NLF said, "direct talks with the Saigon administration are impossible."

Krist said, Krist, who talked his way into highly technical jobs at prestigious Mass a ch usetts a Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Marine Research Laboratory of the University of Miami, may not face federal kidnap charges in the bizarre case because the vietim, Barbara Jane Mackle, was never taken across state lines. But the unusual development did not leave Krist free to leave the Dade (Miami) County Jail, because three other federal charges faced him, as well as the possibility of prosecution under Georgia's kidnap law. Accomplice Hunted The FBI also intensified a nationwide hunt for a "sweet and charming" graduate student. supposedly Krist's girl friend, who is accused of taking part in the kidnaping. Dreams Mrs.

Krist said she did not know the girl, Ruth Eisemann Schier, 26, a graduate biology student at the University of Miami.
