Suspect Held In Delaware
Faces Burglary Indictment
The Douglas County Grand Jury
Friday returned six indictments
and one not true bill.
Itoger Lee Marine, 35, now in
custody in Wilmington, Del., was
indicted for burglarizing Sandy's
Tavern May 21, 1962, and also for
larceny by bailee. The latter
charge involves failure to return
the car of Lyle Davids. It w a s
found abandoned on the streets of
Portland.
Marine had borrowed the car
the night of the alleged burglary
at Sandy's. Money and a gun were
taken and an unsuccessful at
tempt made lo open a safe, city
police investigation shows. Marine
is fighting extradition, it is under
stood. Bail was set at $2,500 for
the burglary charge and $1000 for

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.
