De Gaulle May Get His Way By HAROLD MORRISON WASHINGTON (CP) -- Pres- ident de Gaulle may finally get his way as the United States seeks to head off a nuclear deadlock that threatens the In a speech reported to have U.S. government approval, Gen. Lauris Norstad proposed Mon- day night that a NATO nuclear rect operation of a three-power executive made up of Britain, France and the United States. U.S. general, who | re- cently stepped down as NATO supreme commander in Europe, conceded that his proposal goes some distance in meeting the wishes of de Gaulle--who long has demanded a voice equal to that of Presiaeéni Kennedy and Prime Minister Macmillan in running the 15-country alliaace. Norstad's proposal, made at a farewell dinner attended by NATO ambassadors and leading U.S. officials, followed de ed bruises and lacerations but} were released from Bowman- after the incident.

De Gaulle told a Paris press conference the Polaris offer has no current importance for France, which will continue to build and employ its own nu- clear force . Kennedy has ex- pressed concern that the spread of the "nuclear club" coyld in- crease the hazards of nuclear war. The most embarrassing point about de Gaulle's decision is that, as reported in Washington, the French leader gave Ken- nedy no advance warning. The decision and announcement came just as Kennedy was tell- ing Congress in his state-of-the- union message that Europe is moving into a new era of in- terdependence and unity and that the old era of national riv- alries is fading. Kennedy told Congress France will be a future nuclear power and ways must be found of increasing the role of NATO partners in planning, manning and directing a nuclear force without increasing the hazards FIVE HOMELESS street east.
