Nassau Conference Kennedy Appears To lave Balanced Scales Nassau - (UPD - President Kennedy appears to have skillfully brought British American diplomatic prep surcs into approximate bal ance to provide a more realis tic background for his global cold war strategy review with Prime Minister Macmillan. Hie President accomplish ed this even before today's formal sessions began. He had his aides counter British criticism of the U.S. decision to drop the Skybolt program by spreading the word that the United States was greatly disturbed by the Macmillan government's failure to sup port the American position on other equally or more impor tant matters. Ask Stronger Support American officials made It clear Kennedy would press Macmillan for much stronger British support of United Na tions efforts to unify the Con go, where the U.S. govern ment fears the Soviet Union may move in to take advan tage of growing chaos. U. S. officials dramatized this by disclosing that Ken- LAST DAYS "SAVETB20 AUTO SEAT COVERS and LUXURIOUS CARPETS 12th & So. Central Phont 773-6430 ncdy was sending a high level military mission to the Congo at once to analyze the situ ation. Macmillan came here for his Lyford Cay conference backed by a barrage of British charges that the United States was reneging on moral com. mitments by its decision to drop the Skybolt program, on which London was counting to maintain its posture as a nuclear power. Believed on Defensive London officials obviously felt they had Kennedy on the defensive in public view, with a consequent strengthening of Macmillan' bargaining pow er. American officials here felt the conference was about to open on a lopsided basis which might prevent sober and balanced assessment of the wide variety of problems requiring closest Anglo-American collaboration. They spread the word among newsmen that Ken nedy had his own complaints and at the same time they flatly denied that the United States ever had promised un conditionally to continue the Skybolt program if it did not appear worthwhile. Sincerity Not Licking This British-American dip lomatic jockeying was not in terpreted as indicating any cynicism or lack of sincerity on either side. It merely rep resented Kennedy's applica tion of an international scale of his admitted political skill to get the picture into focus and prevent the conference from degenerating-at least in the public eye-into a Washington-London wrangle over Skybolt. Actually, the shape of possi ble compromises on both the Skybolt and the Congo seem to be emerging and this will permit Kennedy and Macmil lan to tackle the rest of their agenda on a more even keel.

Petition for Fire District Submitted The Jackson county court read petitions today request ing a public hearing on the proposed Evans Valley Rural Fire Protection district, but no action was taken. The petitions contained S56 signatures. However, a check by the assessor s office show ed only 179 signatures are from property owners. The law requires that 25 per cent of the property owners within the fire district boundaries sign petitions or 200, which ever is the smaller number. The proposed district would include 200 residents and about 45 square miles. Al though an Evans Valley rural volunteer fire department is now in operation, the propos al would set up a district with a board of directors em powered to levy a tax. Donations were made last May. A fire truck was pur chased and a fire station start ed. Last September it was estimated the rural depart ment has saved three or four homes and some $30,000 worth of property since its formation. 86', .... 44". JS. 44i 4.V.

Details have not yet been worked out, he explained, but will be submitted to legisla tors when completed. r 19 For Fast, Efficient Service Ship It 7 i cur ; LHwITIL to or from Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angtlei and Other California Points Call Jack Fitzgerald 773-7761 o ANSCO 8mm Roll Color MOVIE FILM Purchase One Roll Daylight Film for 4.60 $11991 s Buy 2nd Film for Only 3 Price Includes Processing!
