Whitney, 21, Corvallis, was indicted for uttering a forged French Okay NATO Plans At Meeting OTTAWA (UPI) The long shadow of French President Charles de Gaulle fell across the meeting here this week of the NATO ministerial council. None of the visiting NATO lead ers mentioned the basic split on European strategy and policy be tween the aloof French president and his British-American allies. The conferees were most care ful, however, to avoid digging into any issues which might widen the breach. The council's action In reorga nizing existing nuclear forces in Europe to give NATO a more di rect hand in managing them was accepted wilh amused tolerance by the French, represented by Foreign Minister Couve de Mur villc. ' The French agreed lo go along with the plan when Secretary of State Dean Rusk and British For eign Secretary Lord Home prom ised not to trumpet it as a big NATO-wide "integration" of nu clear forces, which De Gaulle opposes. Rusk said the "assignment" of Britain's nuclear bombers and three American Polaris subma rines to NATO was an "import ant step." But he acknowledged that its value was principally "psychological." The "considerable w a 1 lop" packed by these bombers and submarines already was available in Europe, The new plan simply gave tho NATO commander a more direct hand in targeting arrangements. The psychological gain stems from the part of the plan which assigns European officers of NATO to the nuclear staff at NATO headquarters and to I ho liaison group at U.S. Strategic Air Command headquarters in Omaha. As Rusk explained, this gave the non-U.S. members of NATO, for the first time, a direct sense of participation in planning nu clear strategy against missiles behind the Iron Curtain which art aimed at Europe.
