(Photo by Russell Autrey) Wilson’s Government Scrubs Pooling Of Nuclear Weapons LONDON (A*) — Prime Minis ter Harold Wilson’s Labor gov ernment has ruled out — at least for now — all question of pooling Britain’s nuclear arms as a way of paying for admission to Eur ope’s Common Market. High officials reported Wed nesday night the British intend going even further. The Cabinet, they said, is on the point of de ciding to reject the option of buy ing the American Poseidon missile to supplant the Polaris in Brit ain’s building fleet of four nu clear submarines. POLITICAL, money and stra tegic factors are behind the deci sion. The future of the nation’s nu clear deterrent was injected by the opposition Conservative par ty leader, Edward Heath, into the debate on the pros and cons of Britain joining the six-nation Common Market. Heath’s plan for a nuclear-shar ing system in Europe — with the New Trial Denied To Jimmy Hoffa I CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. LT*)— James R. Hoffa’s fourth motion for a new trial on jury tamper ing charges was denied Wednes day by U.S. Dist. Court Judge Prank W. Wilson. ' Wilson said in an opinion that the Teamsters Union president and three codefendants “failed to , establish that their rights were violated in any respect by the government as alleged in the mo- jtion,” which was filed Feb. 28. ! Wilson said the failure of Hof fa lawyers to present any evi dence at a hearing Tuesday, in itself, was “sufficient cause for denial.” University National Bank “On the side of Texas A&M” —Adv. British and French deterrent weapons held in trust for other European countries — has been spurned by Wilson, Foreign Sec retary George Brown and other government leaders. BROWN TOLD the House of Commons Heath’s idea seemed to him “both dangerous and un wise.” He indicated that if adopted it might wreck prospects of an international pact, now un der negotiation, to stop the spread of nuclear weapons. The Heath plan nevertheless seems to have caught on among leading members of his own par ty, who sometimes seem to en visage a nationalist role for Brit ain in the world, shorn of Ameri can influence. THE FORMER Conservative defense minister, Duncan Sandys, for instance, came out in favor of a European defense community to control both conventional and nuclear forces of member coun tries within the framework of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza tion. On the issue of Poseidon, the U. S. administration already has been given advance notice by De fense Secretary Denis Healey that the ultimate British answer is likely to be no. ^Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllii 1 the outside worldl VIETNAM U.
