EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Wed., Jan. 16, 1963 Polaris Veto Not Taken as Final Pise 2A U. S. Leaves Door Open for DeGaulle By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER Of the Associated Press WASHINGTON Washington officials are refusing to take President Charles de Gaulle's "no" as a final answer to its proposal that France join with the United States and Britain in forming a NATO nuclear strik ing force. The hope here is that the French attitude eventually will change. The U.S. British project is just beginning and will take several years to carry through. Undersecretary of State George W. Ball returned Tues day from a week-long trip to Europe and said the United States is prepared to move ahead vigorously on formation of the force with or without French cooperation. Other officials said privately that De Gaulle's stand does not command support generally in Western Europe. They also said that even though the United States intends to move ahead it docs not intend to close the door to French cooperation in the future. Ball is reporting to President Kennedy and Secretary of State Dean Rusk on the results of his visit to Paris, where he talked with the 15-nation NATO coun cil, and to Bonn where he met with West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. It was un derstood that he was able to report the prospect for general cooperation of the NATO na tions are good in spite of the French stand. "Of course," he told newsmen upon arrival in Washington, "it French government has appar ently decided not to cooperate." He described his talks with Adenauer as very successful. "I think the German govern ment has Indicated it is pre pared to go along with the Unit ed States and the other NATO nations," he said. "We made it clear to the Ger man government that we are prepared to move ahead vigor ously in cooperation with the NATO nations whether the French government decides to accept our offer or not." The NATO project is an out growth of an agreement made by British Prime Minister Har old Macmillan and Kennedy in their conference at Nassau last month. The United States will supply Polaris missiles to Brit ain and Britain will build the submarines and the warheads necessary, to put them into op eration. Hhe British force and a matching U.S. force will be submitted for NATO control. Meanwhile Britain and the United States will put an aerial nuclear striking force at NATO's disposal since the sub marine force is not expected to be available until about 1970, . Kennedy offered De Gaulle the same deal he worked out with Britain. De Gaulle turned down the offer Monday and re affirmed his policy of building an independent nuclear striking force lor t ranee.

Unemployment was expected to be Grunitsky's major task. Only 7 per cent of the 1.5 mil lion people in this poverty-strik en West African state hold full time jobs. Grunitsky, 49, a brother-in-law of the slain Olympio, agreed Tuesday to head a new govern ment. But the nine-memher mili tary insurrection committee that overthrew Olympio still held power. It was reported signing up recruits lor a new army as its solution to the unemploy ment problem.

Emmanuel Bodjolle, 35, a stocky ex-sergeant, spoke for the ruling junta and the estimated 300 former soldiers in the French colonial forces who over-threw Olympio's adminis tration. Bodjolle said the group re peatedly asked the Olympio re gime to take them into the Togo army, a force of about 1,000 men, or into government em ploy.

There were definite signs of cracks in the front which the French have managed to main tain so far in the 15-month-old negotiations on Britain's appli cation for Common Market mem bership. The split was centered on the feeling that Europe will survive French President Charles de Gaulle. Many European diplomats made it clear they felt De Gaulle was out of step in stating at a news conference Monday that Britain must enter the trade group without any special con siderations. Newspapers in Brit ain and on the Continent also disagreed with De Gaulle's ob jections. Negotiators from the six mar ket countries and Britain con tinued talks on tariffs for spe cific products Wednesday, while behind-the-scenes efforts were made to get France to ease its stand on Britain's application. The negotiators agreed to tackle the tariff problem and defer until Thursday talks on the controversial question of British agricultural subsidies. Representatives of West Ger many. Belgium, The Netherlands and Italy expressed support for tho British position. Luxem bourg also was believed to take the same view against De Gaulle's stand.
