McNamara is worried about where the next generation of weap ons is to come from, informed sources said. He intends to inaugurate dis cussion of a tank of the future which the two countries perhaps with the cooperation of other NATO states could de velop and produce jointly.

Albany publisher J. Franeylj Un...-.f1 .kn lonlina tha mnvp to get the bill on the ballot, saidjPa-vers he was "highly delighted" with the court's speedy decision. He hopes to get petitions in cir culation next Tuesday, although the big job of printing the peti tions hasn't started yet. Howard waited until the court decision on the ballot title before going ahead with the printing job. Each petition can carry oniy zu signatures but will have to include the full text of the tax bill, which is. 18 pages long. Howard said he does not have a statewide organization to push for the petition signatures, but he has received pledges of help from throughout the state. Tuesday's court hearing took only 40 minutes. Fadeiey argued the Thornton title failed to set out the chief purpose of the bill to raise the money needed to balance the state's budget.

Ballot Title Limited He noted the tax proposal makes 38 substantial change in the state's tax law, 11 of them major ones, and the ballot title is limited by law to 23 words. Burnett said the proposed Thornton ballot title is designed to list those which would have the greatest impact. Fadeiey said the Thornton bal lot title failed to mention the lib eralized treatment for capital gains taxes which would affect about 90,000 persons and the spe cial treatment for heads of house holds which would affect 30,000. He noted also that the title fail, ed to mention the substitution of tax credits for personal exemp tions which will affect all tax- Two Stolen Autos Found By Police Mrs. Glen Yates of 1633 W.
