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 Qfor the next 10 years as Britain's LIVINGSTON MERCHANT ... nuclear fleet RAILROADS: omkRules 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. Monarch Enforces Land Plane 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. Delay Tax Plan For Affiliates Special To The Daily LANSING-Bills to exempt fra- ternities and sororities from prop- erty taxes will not be acted upon until a special session on taxation, Sen. Stanley G. Thayer (R-Ann 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. KENNEDY BRIEFING: Celler Judges Chances For Civil Rights Plans Y By The Associated Press 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.

KENNEDY ... civil rights BORDER:I Nehru Asks World Court Settlemenit NEW DELHI (3)-Prime Minis- ter Jahawarlal Nehru renewed yes- terday India's offer to settle its border dispute with Red China in the World Court at The Hague. The offer was contained in a new exchange of letters between Nehru and Communist Chinese Premier Chou En-Lai. Chou called for direct negotia- tions on the territories. Nehru's reply said India still in- sists that Peking must accept in full the peace proposals put forth by the Colombo Conference. THURSDAY, MARCH at the 7:30 For Motherhood, God, and Country, elect Rep. Leslie C. Arends (R-Ill) told the House. Arends, the assistant GOP floor leader, joined chairman Carl Vin- son (D-Ga) of the House Armed 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. ROBERT ABRAMSON Vice-Pres.
