Official sources revealed Thursday that de Gaulle had al- ready sent a "holding" answer neither accepting nor rejecting the U.S. offer to provide France with the submarine . based mis- siles on the same terms as those accepted by Britain. At the Bahamas conference] last month Prime Minister Mac- millan agreed to the Polaris of- fer as part of a plan for an eventual multilateral NATO nu- clear force while reserving the right of Britain to use its nu- clear weapons when supreme national interests were at stake.

The president is vacationing at Palm Beach. The prospects for creation of a NATO Polaris missile force are not rated high at present. But U.S. officials say that de Gaulle's message at least was not discouraging and that the President de Gaulle's message'project is over its first hurdie.
