Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? But ' there's a fly in the oint ment. The fly is President Charles de Gaulle of France. As this is written, he hasn't yet said yes and he hasn't yet said no. What he will say is as yet known only; to himsell. He has so tar thrown two monkey wrenches into the machinery once when he said NO to British entry into the European Common Market and again when he said NO to t h e U.S. offer to provide Polaris mis siles for France if France would back away from building a nu clear force of her own and join up with NATO. He is a strange and mystic character. No one ever knows just what he may do next. Pre-I sumably, we shall soon find out. Incidentally Who knows offhand the origin of the simile of the fly in the ointment? It is from Ecclesiastes, and with its context it reads: "The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that rulcth among fools. "Wisdom is better than weap ons of war; but one sinner de stroyed! much good. ' "Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savor: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor. At this moment in history, tlmcn ii-m-Hc ft-nm Fr-clpsiastps are to be highly recommended to President Charles de Gaulle o: France. French sources this morning say De Gaulle will: 1. Reject Premier Khrush chev's plan for a non-aggression pact between East and West in Europe. 2. Refuse to associate France with the Moscow nuclear ban. 3. Indicate willingness to thaw out deep - freeze U.S. - French relations, possibly as a prelude to a meeting with President Ken nedy in Washington early next disarmament treaty. This is in year. We'll see what we'll see. the Senate Armed Services Com mittee and the House - Senate Atomic Energy Committee to at tend. Discuss Military Opposition Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, D- Minn., said Harriman also was asked about reported opposition to the treaty by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but referred the question to the military leaders themselves. He said Harriman explained that er due deliberation." But Tower estimated that "a good 40 per cent of the Senate" was skeptical or "outright opposed." Rusk briefed the Foreign Rela tions, Armed Services and Atom ic Energy committees last week before the pact was initialed. He is expected to meet again with the Foreign Relations group be fore going to Moscow to formally sign the agreement with Russia and Britain. Plans for a congressional dele gation of key lawmakers to ac company him were expected to be announced this week.

De Gaulle announced he is in viting the United States, Britain and Russia to a conference this year to discuss disarmament of vehicles for carrying nuclear wea pons. At the same time, he declared emphatically that relations be tween the United States and France are based on "friendship and alliance" and went out of his way to stress his friendship for the United States in a gesture seemingly designed to pave the ! way for a reconciliation meeting with President Kennedy in Wash ington early next year. De Gaulle made his position known at his first news confer ence in more than six months. It lasted one hour and 20 minutes. The French president said his country will push ahead w ith its own nuclear plans unless the Unit ed States and Soviet Union agree to destroy and ban all nuclear, weapons. "We do not yet seem to have reached that point," he told the more than 900 newsmen and of ficials crowded into the hall of the presidential Elysee Palace for the rare conference. De Gaulle did not flatly state he will not sign the Moscow agreement w hich w ill ban nuclear weapons testing in the at mosphere, outer space and under water. But he made it clear that he would take such a step only as part of a broader general nuclear that fallout would; contaminate the atmosphere of another nation. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana said the committee members' questions were "searching and blunt" and Harriman's answers were "open and frank." He said Harriman assured the senators there were no gimmicks," nor any "side agreements" included. Secretary of State Dean Rusk said Sunday night in a television interview (NBC-TV) that the agreement "may be the turning point under w hich other questions can be taken up for exploration. Rusk On TV Rusk and Harriman appeared on the program with Sens. Eu gene McCarthy, D-Minn., and television speech Friday night was interpreted as showing the administration's firm determina tion to win public backing for the agreement as well as the needed Senate approval. Weekend comments of law makers in both parties indicated growing support for the treaty. Many still were cautiously avoid ing all-out endorsement pending public hearings to be held by the Foreign Relations group. Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen expressed doubts Sun- iday about certain provisions of the treaty. He said senators must give the pact "the closest exam ination relative to its impact on our defense posture and the fu ture of our nuclear weaponry." -V?- n F: h ' t. If i T I v , v., y j III-. !

UPI Telephoto More Than 28,000 Workers Idle As Lumber Union Tieup Spreads SEOUL, Korea (UPI) Communist North Korean raiders today killed two American soldiers and critically wounded a third. The United Nations Command (UNC) quickly placed some U S. units on a "reinforced alert status." i The Communists crossed into South Korean terri tory and ambushed a U.S. Army jeep patrol with submachine gun fire and Soviet-made hand grenades. I he UNC called it a "vicious unprovoked sneak attack." There was no sign the Americans had been able to return the Communists' fire. The jeep was flying a white flag that serves to identify UNC vehicles when they enter the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The Reds struck while the jeep was crossing a 15-foot wooden bridge across a small stream, about 10 miles east of the truce village of Pan- mttnjom, on a road that runs along the foot of a hill about 300 feet from the southern limits of the DMZ, the UNC said. "The attack was deliberately planned, premeditated, and exe cuted in a grey early dawn," a UNC spokesman said. As a re sult of the attack, he added, "elements of the 1st Cavalry Di vision were placed on a rein forced alert status" along the truce line. The three soldiers were members of the 1st cavalry. The victims were not identified pending notification of relatives. The wounded soldier had been hit four times, in the chest, arms, and legs, and was reported still unconscious scvcr.il hours after the attack. "He may not live," UNC spokesman Col. George Creel of Birmingham, Ala., said. It was the second North Korean attack on U.S. troops guarding the 1st Cavalry Division on truce line duty, were driving to a guard post in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. It was about 5:30 a.m. and they were still in South Ko rean territory, about 75 feet from the demilitarized zone, when they were hit. The last such attack took place last November, when North Ko reans lobbed grenades into a UNC outpost inside the demilitar ized zone. One American soldier was killed and another wounded. Says Dispute Not Closed n B ritish Vice Trial By United Press International Northwest lumber unions closed down more Edward Hines Lumber Co. operations this morning before sitting down to discuss further spread of the strike that has idled nearly 28,000 workers in fourl states.

But Rusk and Home were ex-, peeled to meet witn Foreign Min ister Andrei Gromyko sometime this week. Pact Spawns Optimism Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev has said he wants to discuss the chances of a "pact of peace" be tween the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 'NATO' and the Communist Warsa Pact coun tries. Seeks Other Solutions The Soviet leader, who current ly is involved in a bitter ideologi cal dispute with Communist Chi na, said Friday in an interview with the Soviet press that he hoped the partial test ban would LONDON (UPI) Dr. Stephen Ward abruptly rested his defense on morals charges today with a pica against being made a sacri fice to the public demand for punishment of those responsible for Britain's sex scandal. The case is expected to go to the jury Tuesday after sum mations by the defense and pros eculion followed by the charge to the jury by Justice Sir Archie Marshall. Defense counsel James Burge stunned the courtroom in Old Bailey by announcing the end of his case this morning with-; out calling any of the major surprise" witnesses promised when the trial opened a week ago. Despite hints of famous names! to come the only defense witness today was a young advertising executive who said he picked up playgirl Christine Keeler, 21, in a coffee bar and had relations with her at Dr. Ward's flat, but not for cash. Begins Summation Then Burge turned to the jury of 11 men and one woman to be gin his summation on the general theme that Ward was simply a man who found his own particu lar fountain of youth was to sur round himself with pretty girls and what was wrong with that? "But," the attorney went on. "if you are there to make sure the public conscience, shocked by a major scandal should be ap peased and a penally should be paid, then you could hardly find a more suitable object for expiation than the accused who has admit ted he is a loose liver whose con duct has been such as to deprive him of sympathy from any quar ter." But he vigorously denied that the 50-year-old society osteopath and artist had been guilty either of living on immoral earnings or of procuring young girls for men in high places the charges against him which carry a pos sible maximum of 25 years in prison on conviction. No "Babes In Woods" Burge said that neither Miss Keeler, 21, nor her colleague, Marilyn (Mandy) Rice-Davies, 18, were "babes in the woods" when Ward befriended them, but there was a vast difference between be ing promiscuous and being a prostitute. Miss Rice - Davies has claimed affairs with film and television star Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and Viscount Aslor who have denied it.

Race Case Act Upheld WASHINGTON (UPI)-A .spe cialized Air Force unit has been retrieving 70 per cent of the cap sules launched from the West Coast in a space age catch game involving rockets, secret satellites and transport planes. After more than a year of si lence, the Air Force Sunday re leased sketchy details on the se cret launches of the satellites into polar orbits and the "routine" re covery by a Hawaii-based squad ron of capsules ejected from them. The meager details were made public in connection with the pres entation of the "outstanding unit award" to the 65Mrd Test Squad ron at Hickam Air Force Base, Honolulu, in recognition of "its record in the development and Japplicalion of aerial techniques for the recovery ol space cap sules returned from orbiting sat ellites." The first U.S. recovery of a man-made object from space was accomplished Aug. 11, 1'JliO, when the Air Force's Discoverer 13 satellite ejected a capsule. It floated down through the atmos phere and into the Pacilic Ocean where it was fished out by Navy divers. A CUO airplane of the Hickam-1 based squadron made the first aerial recovery of a space cap sule Aug. 19, 19(K), grabbing it and its parachute out of the air over the Pacific. However, early last year, the Defense Department imposed Dis covcrcr and other military satel lites under a secrecy curtain Ever since, there have been an nouncements on launchings from Vandcnberg Air Force Base and adjacent Point Arguello, Calif., but nothing has been said of what was launched. In Sunday's statement, the Air Force revealed that more than 70 per cent of the satellites launched last year with recovery as a goal actually were retrieved by the 6393rd Squadron. In a more recent series, KB per cent were recovered.

Sources said that Dillon would make the announcement at a ses sion (10 a.m. EDT) of the House Ways & Means Committee. Dillon has decided that the, Treasury can handle foreseeable red-ink spending at least until November if Congress merely ex tends the existing debt limit of $300 billion, they said.

It had been expected that Dillon might ask that the limit be set at, or slightly less than, $315 billion to accommodate! deficit spending for the fiscal year ending next June 30. ports the Kennedy plan to turn over the dispute to the Interstate Commerce Commission, has said practically no progress has been made in talks on the key issues. Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz continued mediation efforts in the snarl during the weekend without any reported break in the stalemate. The renewed me diation efforts were suspended after sessions Sunday. Davidson testified at Die fourth day of House hearings on the President's proposal to re solve the problem. Denouncing (lie administration plan as have the other rail union leaders, Davidson said: ". . .it would be hard to con ceive a proposal more unsatisfac tory to railway labor, more fraught with danger to our free dom, or less likely to result in ul timate harmony and cooperation between railway management and railway labor."
