Atomic Fleet Gets Johnson's Support
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — President Johnson has reviewed plans for a NATO nuclear navy armed with Polaris missiles and ordered full speed ahead on the controversial project, administration officials said today.
One result is that key Congressmen soon will be consulted by the administration on details of the proposed "Multi-lateral Nuclear Force" (MLF), which would consist of 25 surface vessels with a total of 200 missiles. The legislators are to be given a progress report on negotiations with the allies.
ARRANGEMENTS already are being made for a "demonstration" ship to prove that it is practical to operate a warship with a crew drawn from several allied nations. The United States has offered one of its guided missile destroyers for this purpose. Training of a mixed crew for the demonstration ship is expected to begin early in the new year and take about six months.
American officials sounded a new note of optimism concerning possible eventual creation of the MLF, despite continued reluctance on the part of Britain and some other allies to join it.
This optimism stemmed in part from progress made in recent talks in Europe and in Washington with allied representatives. It also appeared due, to some extent, to an administration decision to actively promote the project instead of simply offering it as one idea.
THE UNITED STATES, West Germany, Greece and Turkey favor the proposed force. Italy also is understood to be agreeable to joining but a formal decision cannot be expected until the new left-center government of Premier Aldo Moro gets more firmly established.
The Russians have bitterly criticized the proposed NATO nuclear navy, asserting that it is simply a device to get nuclear weapons into the hands of the West Germans. The United States firmly rejects the Soviet charge, pointing out that the fleet will be under NATO control with a U.S. veto over the actual firing of the weapons.
Britain has refused to commit itself to the project, wavering between military and political objections. However, both Britain and Italy are expected to participate in the operation of the "demonstration" ship since this will not definitely commit them.
PRESIDENT KENNEDY offered the MLF suggestion to give the NATO allies a greater sense of participation in nuclear strategy. However, his administration emphasized that the United States would consider any alternative which appeared workable.

Greater University Fund Handles Gifts from Alums
Have you ever wondered what is done with the many cash contributions made to KU each year by alumni and friends?
Collection and supervision of these gifts is handled by the Greater University Fund. According to Director Maurice Barker, it is an arm of the KU Endowment Association which tries to encourage all alumni to make a modest annual gift to the university.
Barker said the Fund is a vehicle by which anyone may give any amount. He said the Fund is distinct from the Endowment Association in that the Fund handles only the smaller direct contributions while the Endowment Association, as it name implies, handles the larger gifts such as endowments.
Barker said the Greater University Fund helps many students in many ways. The funds collected by the Greater University Fund can be used quickly and immediately for needs which arise from time to time.
