(UPI Telephoto) Opposition Hits : Macmillan Over ; Missile Program London-flJWI-The Labor op ; position and some Conserva ' lives today turned their fire on Prime Minister Harold Macmillan for his govern ment's decision to drop Its nuclear missile program. Britan abandoned its $182 million "Blue Streak" mis sile last week and was ex pected to seek new American rockets for Its defenses. Amer ican Thors already are sta tioned here. But Macmillan faced attack from two sides on the Blue Streak program, which had been a symbol of prestige and independence among Britons Wait Charged Labor made a motion of censure, charging the govern ment with wasting tens of millions on the project and with general mishandling of defense. The motion will be debated April 27. At the same time, many gov ernment supporters were re ported deeply disturbed that Britain may abandon its Inde pendent nuclear deterrent en tirely and rely solely on American atomic and hydro gen weapons. A complicating factor ' was the demand to do away with nuclear weapons entirely, as expressed by the 100,000- strong rally in Trafalgar Square Monday, the biggest since the war.
