a of of of of 6 AT ED. Meets DeGaulle, Nuclear Policy Argued PARIS (AP) Secretary of State Dean Rusk told President Charles de Gaulle Monday the door will always be open to France in any allied nuclear command. In the course of what was called a long "friendly and frank" discussion in the Elysee Palace presidential offices, the secretary told De Gaulle the United States has no desire to! isolate France with proposals for an allied Multilateral Nuclear Force MFL-or similar ideas. France opposes such a project and has refused to take part in preliminary studies. Rusk told newsmen that had assured De Gaulle insists on building his own pure-: ly French nuclear arm that arrangements now under study with Britain, West Germany; and other NATO countries are delibertly being kept flexible.

SO that France can join, too, whenever she wants. Meetings Planned New top-level meetings are tentatively planned among the allies early in the coming year to consider the American' project for a fleet of surface vessels armed with Polaris missiles under American control, the British scheme for a wider NATO nuclear command. and any other way to control Western nuclear armament. Rusk's assurance came in a detailed exchange on Europe's 'Messiah' Well Fills Bushnell while soprano Ruth Daigon brought a somewhat small voice to the proceedings, shel managed a great deal of lyric glow all evening. I And, as a matter of fact, what the whole performance needed more of last night, was glow.

Had it been attuned throughout to the intensity with which Miss Daigon sang her final "I know that my Redeemer liveth," this "Messiah" could have been considerably more moving than it was. note suggests that Mr. program Winograd sees "The Messiah' more as a work of devotional contemplation than of dramatic surface. Certainly except for the last pages, it was more introspective than vivid as Mr. Winograd set it out.

I think there is more variety of musical and religious experience in it than was allowed to come forth last night. There is ly no reason to rattle the rafters with this work, but a little. more emotion in song and feel-! ing, more intensity if not more vehemence, would have made the interpretation and the performance less monochromatic than they were.

That it was welcome fare is attested by last night's audience which practically filled Bushnell Memorial. Since the house seats 3,277 customers, this was a plain measure of enthusiasm.

And measuring by the applause, what the audience got way of performance, it liked. Arthur Winograd took the Symphony Chorale, the orchestra the soloists through a nically poised account of the ornate and often-abused score. my money, the Chorale over the last decade has into one of the best choruses the country. The voices are good, the choirs well balanced, whole chorus is a beautifully disciplined, flexible and expressive instrument. And for the most part, it was this same bright instrument last night.

The big set-pieces at the close the work were a little blurred over enthusiasm Mr. Winograd took the performance down the glory road for a flaring finish. But otherwise, in was called upon to do by the conductor, if not by the music. the Chorale met requirements with distinction. Edgar Wasillief, chorusmaster, shares bows.

The work of the soloists was more disparate. The eloquence was men Daniel George, tenor, and James worth, bass. Stalwart voices to start with, they bore down on the drama of "The Mes-! siah" and delivered it with general flourish. They gave with fine, long Handelian, phrasing, and altogether matched the style as well as matter of the composition. Jacquelyn Jarrett, contralto, though possessing a pleasant depth of range, was otherwise rather too plain and clipped her singing, tending be pressionless.

Fly More WESLEYAN'S cleared for takeoff Cool Campus Cushion Overgrown 'Lawnmower' Flies By J. SCOTT CRAIG MIDDLETOWN Since 1907 the safest way to fly has been: in an airplane, but Monday af-; ternoon "Kitty Hawk 1964" saw a big orange, silver and white craft that looked like an over-: grown lawnmower "hovering" about three inches off the ground over Wesleyan sity's Andrus Field. A noisy, six-horsepower engine and a 26-inch propeller kept a cushion of air between the ground and the while its builder, a Wesleyan sophomore, sat in the driver's seat, not quite sure which way he was going next. Astronomy Plus Physics Nickolaus Leggett.

20, may be an astronomy major, but a long-time interest in flying and an article in Popular Science in 1960 was all it in the field of aerodynamics. Add to that his meeting with an effect in physics that says by rotating a cylinder in an air stream air will be forced at right angles to the cylinder, and a flying platform was born. As Nick pushed his glasses back up the bridge of his nose and started checking nuts and bolts before the test flight, he described the operating mechanism the Experimental faco Effect Vehicle, or "hovercraft." "Basically, you have a platform sitting on a cushion of air. It's kept off the ground by sending a high pressure stream of air downward, and deflecting the air in one direction or another, the hovercraft moves or right, around in circles, and backward and forward. Sailboat Board "I redesigned the control system of the original model," he said, pointing to a wing like projection underneath the with propeller blade.

"This air foil, two deflector blades above it, gives a stronger air stream downward and better control of the craft. "The two standard ways of controlling the hovercraft both have drawbacks," he explained. "If you mount the propeller outside, like a blimp, it's like steering a sailboat without a center board. If you put the propeller underneath and use just the deflectors, you get good control but no air force." So to test his ideas, he had to build the hovercraft. Nick's design for controlling the machine gives it better horizontal balance.

"Big Heave" Nick's next project is to work more on the steering mechanism, and has patents pending on the air foil tested Monday and the cylinder-type control, as well as modifications on both. "It's a strange type of flying," Nick said. "It's like taking off in a helicopter. All of a sudden there's a bump and you're off. And there's no vibration, just a big heave and a lot of noise.

"The hovercraft is reasonably independent of the terrain as long as projections don't get in its way," he added. Nick was excited about the experiment, as he checked the engine and the prop, the deflectors and the controls. "It's like early aircraft experiments," he said. "Just like Kitty Hawk all over again.

The De Gaulle-Rusk conversa-; tion ran more than an hour and half well beyond the scheda uled time and focussed on changes and probably evolution of eastern and western Europe in the immediate and long range future. Talks Cordial American sources described: the meeting as 'very interestheling and cordial" despite the well-known differences between the United States and France on nuclear policy within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and, in fact, on NATO itself as an institution. On the sidelines, meanwhile, the British and French foreign ministers agreed that a meeting should take place between British Prime Minister Harold Wilson and De Gaulle. No date for the meeting was set.

A qualified British informant said the De Gaulle Wilson meeting was agreed to in principle in the course of a talk between Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville and Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Waker of Britain. No further details of the talk were disclosed. Rusk and other Western foreign ministers are in Paris for a ministerial meeting of NATO nations Tuesday. Reviews Alliance Sources said De Gaulle ed with Rusk a discussion of the Atlantic Alliance. This began with a general review of the situation and problems within allied ranks since World War and II, with a great deal of history background.

While De Gaulle's statements were not available to newsmen, the president is known to feel that Europe now has sufficiently recovered from the ravages of war, and should stand on its own feet as a unified and independent center of world Rusk, in turn, gave his views, presumably along the lines of U.S. policy, which favors the development of a unified Europe since the war, with a spotthe United States within the Atlantic alliance. Changes Discussed The discussion covered details on changes in Eastern Europe, in Russia and among the Soviet Bloc states, and in Western Europe since war, with a spoptlight on the sort of Europe which is emerging. West German Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroeder later more than an Rusk for. the American Embassy, and voiced some support for the new British proposals on a NATO nuclear command.

State Democrats, summoned, to a special meeting at the State Capitol Monday, learned that the problem areas of Senate redistricting are primarily the New Haven area and Fairfield, County. The areas were identified by State and National Democratic Chairman John M. Bailey during the session he called to allow fellow party leaders to "sound off" on realignment. Bailey: No Firm Plan Several times during the meeting, which was thrown open to the press, Bailey emphasized that complaints were. needless because "there is no firm plan as yet." He declared that any plan drawn up by the Democrats would have to be negotiated with the Republicans.

He reminded the Democratic leaders that if agreement can't be reached and the business of realignment goes to the special master, the members of the Assembly will, in effect, be voting themselves out of existence. He also reminded them that until the Senate lines are drawn, "a House plan is going nowhere." Following the two hour session, Bailey said he felt the 2 Held in Safe Theft At Church to Buy Dope CHICAGO (P) Two men tried to steal a safe from Holy Roman Catholic Cathedral Monday, police said, to get money to buy dope. The cathedral caretaker and two other parishioners seized George Siwaczok, 19, and Casimir Radkiewicz, 19. Police said the youths told them they had taken the safe containing $300 from a vestibule and were tryling to load it into their car parked near a church entrance.

During the afternoon the bipartisan subcommittee completed the mapping of Senate districts and turned its attention to House districts. Today the plans are expected to receive their first readings by the rank and file legislators of both parties meeting in caucus. The political and legislative leaders are also scheduled to return to the conference table this afternoon. It was these leaders who instructed that a realignment plan calling for a 36-member senate and a 180- member House be drafted by the subcommittee for study.

"People are already talking of carrying tons of weight, and thinking of transAtlantic runs. "But," he conceded, "the little engine on this one has enough trouble lifting me off the ground." Cost: $300 Nick spent about $300 on the hovercraft, doing most of the work himself, except for the special woodworking.
