mitted to NATO.
American Officers
Saturday's offer formally
commits the five submarines
to NATO with their equip
ment of 16 Polaris missiles
each. The submarines would
continue to have American
officers, the sources said.
The NATO commander-in-chief
is American Gen. Lauris
Norslad. The Allies could call
for use of the Polaris missiles
against an enemy but the
President of the United States
is still the only person who
could give the order for the
use of American nuclear
weapons. -
The sources said the NATO
allies received the offer "fa
vorably." Nuclear Defense
McNamara was reported to
have given the NATO council
one of the most detailed out
lines of U.S. global strategy
it ever heard. He reempha
sized the United States be
lieves the Nuclear defense of
the NATO area of Europe is
indivisible from protecting
the rest of the free world.
But he also was said to
have stressed that convention
al forces are a vital part of
the NATO deterrent force.

egy puts equal emphasis on

At Seattle Fair

Joint Moon Effort
Seattle - (UFD - Gherman
Titov, Soviet hero who has
soloed in space, was caught
in a crush of carthbound hu
manity Saturday at the Se
attle World's Fair.
This was the biggest day
of attendance at the fair since
its opening two weeks ago
and more than 50,000 per
sons were on the 74 - acre
grounds.
More than 10.000 of them
were Campfirc Girls from ev
ery state in the Union.
Titov arrived here Saturday
from Washington, D. C, after
a stopover in Chicago where
he said, "It would be splend
id if the United States and
Russia could go to the moon
together."
The smiling, curly-haired
cosmonaut was followed by
large crowds everywhere. At
one point he stopped abrupt
ly, and in the best style of
an American political candi
date, tweeked the cheeks of
a pretty one-year-old gill in
a stroller.
The infant, Elizabeth Ul
rich, took the attention wide
eyed and bewildered, and her
mother, Mrs. Alvin Ulrich of
Seattle, was flabbergasted.
"My goodness, that was the
Russian astronaut," the red-
haired, freckle-faced mother
exclaimed as Titov resumed
his brisk tour of the fair.
The cosmonaut left a col
ored picture of himself in
the baby's lap.
Midway in the afternoon
Titov had a news conference
in the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration
building on the fairgrounds
where an array of American
rocketry and missiles is on
display.
At the same lime, a group
of more than (100 "peace walk
ers" paraded outside the
grounds with signs proclaim
ing "End nuclear testing. No
more tests. Peace is the only
soldier. World's fairs not
world wars."

ELECTION
Resigned Maj. Gen. Edwin
A. Walker, a John Birch so
ciety member who campaign
ed almost exclusively on the
Communist issue, was run
ning fifth in a field of six.
Both Democrats and Repub
licans held primaries in Tex
as. The vote tabulation was
slow and there were still
enough votes out to change
the results.
But Connally and Yarbor
ough had run first and second
almost since the start of the
tabulation. Incumbent Demo
cratic Gov. Price Daniel, seek
ing an unprecedented fourth
term, was behind Yarborough.
Connally came home from
Washington to campaign
against much of the Kennedy
program despite his close ties
with Vice President Lyndon
B. Johnson. Johnson did not
endorse Connally.
In the Republican guberna
torial primary, Jack Cox, 39,
an oilman, led Roy Whitten-

vote in the Republicari pri
