LONDON I) Southern and Eastern Europe took another ..battering Wednesday from anow, ice and cold winds. At least 430 were dead as a result of Europe's worst winter in dec ades. , New mowalls in Italy isolat ed villages in the Apennines. Along the Italian Riviera there were calm seas and clear skies. But snow fell on the isle of Capri for the first time in a decade. ;. Central and northern Greece, got more snow. The Greek air force dropped food and other aupplies to scores of marooned mountain villages. New snowfalls also hit the northern provinces of Yugoslav ia. The death toll there was 44 to far. - Britain continued to thaw out lowly from the deep snows that covered it for five weeks.

British Surveying Market Alternatives LONDON Wl Although spurned by France in its bid for Common Market membership, Britain can fall back on alterna tives which many have favored over Common Market member ship. Chief among them are harder work at home, bargaining with individual Common Market members, and closer trading ties with the United States, the Commonwealth, the nations of the European Free Trade Assn. and Latin America. For about four years the Brit ish turned down pleas from Eu rope to join the Common Mar ket. Jealous of their sovereign ty and concerned over their Commonwealth ties, the British preferred to create a rival trade bloc. ' Trade experts said Britain has one path open now: A fierce fight to win bigger markets overseas and to spur industrial growth at home through more efficiency in industry and hard er work all around.

RYAN Of the Associated Prcif PARIS The future of the Western Alliance may hinge on the question of who is tougher youthful President Kennedy or the aging but durable enigma of Europe, president Charles de Gaulle. The world likely will be wit nessing two cold wars within the big one in the East be tween the Soviet Union and Red China, in the West between the United States and De Gaulle's France. Cheering in Kremlin Britain's lost battle to join the rEuropean Common Market will have repercussions around the world. Obviously it is a severe though not necessarily fatal blow to the Western unity for which statesmen la bored patiently over the past dozen years. There will be cheering in the Kremlin and probably a Soviet attempt to take quick advantage of the breach in the Western front. The Soviet response may take the form of an aggressive new peace offensive, with seem ingly genuine gestures on ran kling problems, to make it ap pear that Europe can do busi ness safely with the Commu nists. De Gaulle has made clear that he believes Europe should be a force standing between the United States and the Soviet Union, independently wielding its own nuclear weaponry, even though he has no nuclear weap ons to wield yet. Poor Partner in NATO He has made France into a poor partner in NATO hardly a partner at all. Since France is an important piece of European real estate, De Gaulle's policies already have weakened the At lantic Alliance. De Gaulle also has declared Britain unfit to be considered a part of Europe. He champions "continentalism," a continent looking inward, paternally guid- hearty. For another three years, Veto of British Bid Severe Setback for Unity ed and directed by its powerful heart France and Germany. A spokesman reflecting the French president's views says British Prime Minister Macmil lan chose the United States in stead of Europe by agreeing to President Kennedy's proposal to arm Britain and France with Polaris missiles. This, to De Gaulle's way of thinking, was ac cepting U. S. domination to the detriment of Europe. Term Ends in 1966 De Gaulle will remain presi dent of France at least until 1066 if his health holds out. Al though 72, he looks hale and By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER Of the Associated Press U.S. Awaiting Next Move by France WASHINGTON The crucial question being debated in Wash ington today is whether French President Charles de Gaulle will follow his Common Market defeat of Great Britain with a campaign to break Western Eu rope's close ties with the United States. De Gaulle's veto Tuesday of Britain's bid for membership in the market is regarded here as a severe setback to the U.S. campaign for increasing unity within the North Atlantic alli ance. A De Gaulle drive to split Eu rope apart from the United States or as one authority put it "to get the United States out of Europe" could be little sort of disastrous. The question of what De Gaulle will do next is one of several troubling U.S. leaders in the aftermath of the Brussels showdown. The official policy line taken by administration informants is that the United States intends to go ahead with a broad pro gram for reducing trade bar riers, including tariff negotia tions with the six-nation Com mon Market. The administration also intends to carry forward plans for formation of a North Atlantic Treaty Organization nu clear striking force built around the Polaris submarine missile But officials said Wednesday that until the dust settles it is difficult for them to see exactly the best way to proceed. Administration officials rule out for the time being at least, any sort of U.S. retaliatory a tion against France. Another question is what will British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan do? It will be up to Harpsicord, Organ Recital Scheduled A program of music for the organ and harpsichord will be presented Sunday in a faculty recital by John Hamilton, as sistant professor of organ at the University of Oregon School of Music. Hamilton will perform, on the organ, "Prelude and Fugue In G minor" and "Fugue, C major (Gigue)" by Dietrich Buxte hude, and Bach's "Prelude and Fugue, B flat major (Well Tem pered Clavier, vol. 1) and "Fan tasy and Fugue, G minor." Harpsichord compositions will Includo William Byrd's "The Bells," Scarlatti's "Four Sona tas," and Bach's "Goldberg Va riations: Variation 25."

They haven't yet decided how much the voters will be asked to approve. That will depend on a budget proposal from Supt. Melvin Barnes. The directors will decide at their next meeting whether to spend $60,000 to restore lights at the Jefferson and Madison football fields. The lights were knocked down during the Co lumbus Day storm, market which opposed De Gaulle's black-balling of Britain Italy, West Germany, Bel gium, the Netherlands and Lux embourg also must sort out their policies. Should they decide under French pressure to go along with De Gaulle's so-called third force policy in Europe, the po sition of the United States on the continent would become dif ficult. However, the Kennedy ad ministration doesn't expect this to happen in view of the stand taken by the five so far. There is uncertainty also over the future policies of the Brit ish Commonwealth countries, such as Australia, Canada, and India. For many years, they all had special economic relations with Britain based on a prefer ential tariff system. So long as it appeared that Britain was going into the Common Market they were faced with the eventual loss of this special trade treatment and with the problem of readjusting all their economic relationships including trade ties with the United States. Now the Com monwealth countries will have to change their plans again. Negro Named To L.A. Council LOS ANGELES W Los An geles has its first Negro city councilman a man who first went to work for the city 34 years ago scrubbing floors in the Department of Water and Power. Gilbert W. Lindsay, appoint ed this week to fill an unex pired term, said: "Only in America could one rise from the very bottom to the govern ing body of a great metropoli tan city." Lindsay, 62, has been a field deputy for County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn the past 10 years. therefore, the United States must deal with situations cre ated by his policy. He has struck a hard blow at the concept of European unity and Atlantic partnership which is the core of President Ken nedy's world policy. In Europe, diplomats ask: can De Gaulle get away with it? De Gaulle's popularity in France seems unchallenged, even though one hears misgiv ings about his frequent referen ces to a possible understanding in the future with Soviet com munism. The French economy is booming. French business is happy probably all the happier now that it does not have to face British competition within the Common Market. But France has angered influ ential forces among her neigh bors. De Gaulle's concept of a Europe dominated by a French German alliance can be dashed quickly as a result of what hap pened in Brussels. Pact May Be Scuttled The West Germans want Brit ain in the Common Market, sup port the idea of European unity, and above all want the protec tion of U.S. nuclear might against Soviet communism. The treaty of cooperation signed by De Gaulle and Chan cellor Konrad Adenauer may never be ratified now, even though many West Germans might want devoutly to put a final seal on the reconciliation between Europe's two tradition al enemies. Reconciliation with in the context of European union is one thing, says many a German, and in isolation from the rest of Europe would be quite another. De Gaulle, despite heavy pres sure from many directions, stood like a rock against Britain and the United States in the Brussels quarrel. But the Western Alliance's cold war has only begun.
