PARIS (UPi President Charles de Gaulle was reported today to have ruled out any idea of a meeting with President Ken ncdy in the near future. Responsible French government sources said De Gaulle feels such a meeting would be xiintlcss be cause American and French thinking on major issues is hoe lessly far apart. Tlie sources stressed that the French president has no objection to seeing Kennedy. But they said he saw no reason why thev should get together merely to re slate positions with which each is familiar. Aides said De Gaulle is not nar- ticuarly happy about the present coolness between him and the! United States and Britain. But they said he feels that until Washington and London do some pretty drastic "re-thinking" there is not much prospect of improve ment in relations. De Gaulle. French sources said, sees no possibility of a get-togelh-1 er between him and Kennedy un til there are major changes in U.S. policy. They said no French policy changes were likely be cause De Gaulle has already made up his mind on key issues. The French president was said to feel that the most glaring is sues now poisoning U.S. -French relations are the Common Mar ket and the nuclear problem. French officials said De Gaulle will maintain his veto on Com mon Market membership for Britain until he is convinced the British have become truly "Euro pean" in their thinking. As for I he nuclear issue, aides said, De Gaulle still is upset over Ihe Nassau agreement between Kennedy and Macmillan. The Nassau agreement provid ed that the United States would furnish Britain with Polaris mis siles to replace the airborne Sky- bolt program and called for crea tion of a multinational nuclear force within NATO. comments, the judge looked to ward the aspiring new citizens and remarked, "you will please rise and take the oath of al legiance to the United States The 13 people arose, raised their right hands and repeated the oath as recited by County Clerk Charles DcLap. Judge Vanden berg then pronounced, "I hereby declare each of the candidates citizens of the United States." Judge Vandenbcrg's declaration opened a 30-minute program in court during which leaders of va rious local veterans organizations congratulated the petitioners on their newly acquired citizenship. The jurist delivered the first of several brief addresses w ith some general remarks on freedom, fol lowed by Rev. Warren Peckman, Hope Lutheran Church, who en larged upon the subject with some views of his own. "The greatest advantage of be coming a citizen is that each of, you has become a free person," the judge remarked extemporane ously. "All men want freedom, but! few realize it in their lifetime. People of the United States have never left the cause of freedom. Some of us mav have died for it, but we have never left it," the judge slated. Reverend Peckman later stated that two of this nation's greatest freedoms include the freedom to pursue knowledge and freedom of religion "not freedom from religion, as some believe," he said jocularly. "This nation is only as great as those men who give themselves to great ideals. We must live with a purpose," he continued. "Among such purposes is the idea that man must live for others not for oneself," the Reverend Peckman concluded. Attorney Hal Coe was emcee of the brief program in which the following people and their respective organizations were rep resented: Mrs. Charles Wells, Daughters of American Colonists; Mrs. H. A. Nitschelm, Daughters American Revolution; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mandella, Veterans of Foreign Wars and Auxiliary; Mrs Bert Millet, Veterans of World War I Auxiliary; Col.

He alluded particularly to radio com munication network which is set up in the CD office in the court house and is used partially by the sherilf's office and the Red Cross. Mayor Robert Veatch of Klam ath Falls then urged the chamber to write its representatives and urge that they vote against the Firemen's Bill, which would re duce the number of hours served by firemen from 72 to 56 hours per week. The chamber unanimously opposed the measure at its meet ing of Feb. 20, when City Mana ger Bob Kyle reported that the bill, if passed, would require the city to hire an additional 12 lire men at an annual cost to the city of $84,000. Director Floyd Wynne of the Local and State Affairs Committee later commented that the com mittee would meet with represen tatives of the sheriff's office, county treasurer, county court state police and the constable to discuss House Bill 1641. The meas ure proposes to abolish the post of constable, remove criminal matters from the sheriff's office to the state police, and establish the duties of the sheriff's office as mainly custodian of the jail.
