LONDON (P)-The United States plan for a nuclear surface fleet
manned by the members of the Atlantic Alliance ran into rough sail-
ing in Britain yesterday.
Livingston Merchant, sent to Europe by President John F. Ken-
nedy to sell the multi-national force idea to the Allies, was told in a
round of conferences that the British see difficulties ahead. Among the
difficulties, in the British view, is the expense -$84 million a year

Bargaining
To Resume
CHICAGO OP) -- Management
and union negotiators will return
to the bargaining table today in
another effort to reach an agree-
ment in the railroad industry's
long and bitter battle over work
rules changes.
Spokesmen for both sides said
yesterday they were hopeful that
a settlement could come out of the
current talks. Each side emphasiz-
ed, however, that success depended
on the opposite party's willingness
to engage in "real collective bar-
gaining."
At stake are about 65,000 jobs
of firemen, trainmen and yard cm-
ployes which the railroads propose
to eliminate as unnecessary.
The carriers are demanding re-
vision of longstanding work rules.
On March 4 the United States
Supreme Court ruled the rail lines
have a right to overhaul the work
rules.
share of the surface fleet's cost.
.American Idea
The United States idea is a fleet
of 25 surface ships armed with
Polaris missiles and manned by
mixed crews taken from the
various nations of the North At-
lantic Treaty Organization.
Britain wants a multi-national
force based on the assignment of
individual national nuclear forces
to the NATO pool.
Prime Minister Harold Macmil-
lan has earmarked $840 million to
build Britain's Polaris submarine
fleet, which will be linked to
NATO.
The British reaction represented
a set-back for the Merchant mis-
sion.
Same Goal
Diplomatic sources said, how-
ever, that the United States and
Britain -share the same goal de-
spite differences in approach. The
British are determined to keep the
differences from spoiling close re-
lations with Washington.
Both countries believe future de-
mands by West Germany, Italy
and others for their own nuclear
weapons can be headed off by
giving NATO itself a greater say
in the strategic deterrent.
Thus far only the West Germans
have shown enthusiasm for the
United States idea of a surface
fleet. French President Charles de
Gaulle, pointing to Britain's sep-
arate deterrent, insists that France
will continue to develop its own
nuclear weapons.
The British in proposing an ini-
tial NATO force based on national
contributions are relying on their
interpretation of the Kennedy-
Macmillan agreement in Nassau
in December. This would include
building Britain's bomber force
and a Polaris submarine force.

TEHRAN VP)-Shah Mohammed
Reza Pahlevi yesterday ordered
two tough generals to push his
land reform program. There were
growing indications that his revo-
lutionary program had run into a
snag.
The monarch's move came after
the surprise resignation of veter-
an Agricultural Minister Hassan
Arsanjani, one of the architects of
the plan to make Iran a nation of
small landowners.
Arsanjani, who has been work-
ing for land reform since 1960 as
the best way to fight communism,
walked out of the cabinet in dis-
gust over the weekend. He charg-
ed there was a lack of economic
cooperation in the government in
carrying out the program.
Premier Assadullah Alam, the
shah's handpicked government
leader, yesterday announced the
appointment of Gen. Ismail Riahi
as the new agriculture minister.
Gen. Bahram Ariana, the shah's
own adjutant inchief, was named
commander of the southern army
with orders to disarm tribal agi-
tators and enforce land reform in
the restive Ghashgaei area.
Government Press Chief Jehan-
gir Tafazuli, in announcing the
appointment of Gen. Riahi, said
in the present circumstances a
strong man is needed to enforce
land reform and prevent possible
intrigues and agitations. The 54-
year-old general was described as
a man with a vast knowledge of
Iranian rural regions.

Arbor) and Rep. Gilbert Bursley
(R-Ann Arbor) predicted yester-
day.
The two have introduced meas-
ures to exempt the affiliate units
from property taxes.
WASHINGTON (P) - President
John F. Kennedy canvassed pros-
pects for his civil rights program
yesterday with chairman Emanuel
Celler (D-NY) of the House Judi-
ciary Committee and received as-
surances that they look fairly
good.
Celler told reporters that he is
hopeful for some "genuine biparti-
san support" for action at this con-
gressional session. About 70 civil
rights bills have been introduced
in the Senate and House, he said,
about half by Republicans and
half by Democrats.
Nevertheless, Kennedy's civil
rights program centered around
strengthening the rights of Ne-
groes to vote and attend desegre-
gated schools, has come under fire
in Congress, particularly from
Southerners. Civil rights legisla-
tion traditionally runs head on
into filibustering tactics.
Celler said that Kennedy is
"very anxious to get action" in
this session of Congress on such
items as barring literacy tests as a
qualification for voting, providing
money and technical help for
needy school districts in the proc-
ess of desegregating their schools,
and extending the life of the Civil
Rights Commission for four years.
These were points of stress in a
special civil rights message the
President sent to Congress.
Celler said he told Kennedy the
Judiciary Committee will begin
hearings on civil rights as soon as
it finishes an inquiry, which starts
today, into newspaper mergers.
The merger inquiry, Celler said,
did not figure in his talks with
Kennedy yesterday.
The judiciary chairman said he
also discussed with the President
the possibility of a broad revision
of the national origins formula for
immigration quotas and a need for
redefining the lines of federal ju-
dicial circuits.
Under the national origins for-
mula,.quotas for permitted immi-
gration to this country are based
on the national origins of immi-
grants in years past. In pratical
effect, this makes it much easier
for northern Europeans to come
here than people of other areas.
Some countries with large quo-
tas, Celler said, do not use their
quotas and these could be alloted
to other nations.

WASHINGTON - Secretary of
Defense Robert S. McNamara will
make a flying trip West today for
briefings that may go far to de-
termine the fate of the Air Force's
Dyna-Soar manned space glider
project.
It was announced yesterday that
McNamara, Secretary of the Air
Force Eugene Zuckert and other
top defense and civilian space
agency officials will leave tonight
for a visit to the manned space
flight center in Houston and Boe-
ing Co. plant in Seattle.
"The purpose of the trip is to
enable the secretary to be briefed
by officials of the National Aero-
nautics and Space Administration,
the Air Force and Boeing on the
Gemini and Dyna-Soar space pro-
grams' progress," the statement
said.
Possible Loss
The trip comes amid reports
that the Air Force is facing possi-
ble loss of the Dyna-Soar project,
which so far has cost $300 mil-
lion and ultimately will cost $800
million.
McNamara and his civilian sci-
entific advisers are understood to
feel theaDyna-Soar would dupli-
cate research to be done by the
civilian space agency's two-man
Gemini orbital flights.
Meanwhile, McNamara said yes-
terday selection of General Dy-
namics Corp. to build the new TFX
fighter plane was proper and in
the public interest.
Undermines Confidence
At the same time he said a
Senate investigations subcommit-
tee study of the award is being
handled in a way that has "need-
lessly undermined public confi-
dence in the integrity and judg-
ment of the highest officials in
the Department of Defense."
McNamara made the comments
in a letter to chairman John L.
McClellan (D-Ark). The subcom-
mittee has questioned whether
General Dynamics or the Boeing
Co.. of Seattle should have re-
ceived a contract to develop the
TFX plane.
The subcommittee has heard tes-
timony that Boeing not only sub-
mitted a better design but offered
a lower bid. General Dynamics, at
Fort Worth, Texas, received a $28
million contract to develop the
plane for both Air Force and Navy
use. The total cost of planes to be
bought may reach $6.5 billion.
Wrong Answer
In other business, a top House
Republican saidhyesterday Mc-
Namara thinks he knows all the
answers but came up with the
wrong one in seeking to scuttle
the R8-70 reconnaissance strike
plane program.

The offer was contained in a
new exchange of letters between

Chou called for direct negotia-
tions on the territories.
Nehru's reply said India still in-

Services Committee in urging ap-
proval of a $363.7-million boost in
defense spending to step up devel-
opment of the RS-70 as a war-
plane.
The first of three RS-70's au-
thorized under the current devel-
opment program is not expected to
fly before late this spring, far be-
hind schedule. The committee
wants the administration to use
the extra money to build another
pair of the 2,000-mile-an-hour
planes.
