Librarian Kennedy winds up Ireland visit, flies to England By PATRICK .1. MASSKY DUBLIN, Ireland a quick swing around the rugged West of Ireland, President Kennedy today winds up his visit to the ancestral land that lionized him like a long lost son. Then he flies 'to England to nress plans for an allied nuclear fleet. 'Kennedy closes his three-day triumphal tour of Ireland with visits to Shannon, Limerick and the shores of Galway Bay before heading for a quiet reception in southern England and talks with Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. MADE GOOD The Irish never had such a visitor, the great grandson of a poor emigrant who made good in mast staggering fashton-.

The torrent of acclamation has kept Kennedy's Secret Service guards ever (MI the 'hamasip'Un get- togethers like the family party at his Dunganstown ancestral home to the glitter of ceremonies in Dublin Castle and Ireland's Parliament. Kennedy issued a resounding pledge in the Irish Parliament Friday in support of a proposal Ireland first sponsored in the United halt the spread of nuclear weapons. Disarmament is also high on the Kennedy-Macmillan agenda. The President flies from Sannon to Gatwick Airport in southern England where he will be met by Macmillan and other dignitaries and an honor guard of the Royal Air Force. A 15-minute helicopter ride will take Kennedy and Macmillan to the prime minister's home at Birch Grove, 37 miles outside London.

TOP PRIORITY They plan to give top priority in their talks to coming negotiations with Russia on a nuclear test ban. Kennedy also is expected to present Macmillan with a compromise on the projected nuclear fleet for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. This is an issue on which the United States and Britain are divided. It is to be a main topic in the talks between the two leaders tonight and Sunday at Macmillan's home. U.S.

PLAN Kennedy evidently is as keen as ever on the U.S. scheme for an armada of 25 ships, manned by mixed NATO crews, each carrying eight Polaris rockets. But he realizes the wobbly British and Italian governments are in no position right now to commit themselves to Political uncertainties in each country must first be clarified. Accordingly the President is expected to suggest ilhat eight interested NATO countries should send ranking envoys soon to Washington, entirely without commitment. Their job would be to work out the complex legal, military, technical and political aspects of the project.

If, later, London and Rome and others decided positively to join the Americans and West Germans in the scheme a lot of time would be saved. And Kennedy would be able to outline the enterprise to Congress around January. NEW IDEAS Later -Kennedy and Macmillan will discuss with their advisers some new ideas designed to break the' old East-West deadlock on a nuclear test ban. W. Averell Harriman, U.S.

special ambassador, and Britain's Science Minister Lord Hailsham will lead the new approach to the Russians at another test-ban parley in Moscow in mid-July. The encounter this weekend between President and prime minister will be a unique one in many ways. Here's why: Organizers of a British ban-the- bomb movement have arranged for pickets to demonstrate when Kennedy Gatwick and near Birch Grove. Extraordinary security precautions have been taken by the British to prevent incidents. STAYING PRIVATE Kennedy throughout his 24-hour stopover is keeping out of public for a Sunday morn- ing appearance at Mass in the chapel of Our Lady of the Forest near Macmillan's home.

The President is not risking any sort of involvement in British affairs at a time of rising political tension in the country. Macmillan himself is in deep political trouble with some of his own Conservative followers joining opposition Laborites and Liberals in demands for his resignation. This inevitably has weakened his negotiating position, despite 'a surprise declaration Friday night in which he said he hopes to lead the Tories at the next election if his health and other factors allow.

Stole rules snuff out fireworks Hopes of the Independence Day Committee to have a fireworks display here this year have been snuffed out by a heavy blanket of state regulations. Chairman Richard Hubbard of the committee says his group made a good toy and it looked as i way to the display was clear until it began to encounter the regulations and insurance costs. THE COMBINATION of the two was too much for the committee to buck and still put on anything in the way of a display. On a brighter note, Hubbard observed the usual Fourth of July "old time" program will be held at Erickson and Civic fields.

The program at 1 p.m. at Civic Field includes a number of contests and races for children and adults along with a holiday patriotic address. Councilman Donald Cornell will be main speaker. Something new is in the offing for the program this year. HUBBARD SAID a number of people expressed interest in both a running and walking marathon race from Ediz Hook to Civic Field where ooie Isip around the track would finish the event.

Since its revival here a number of years ago, the "old time" Fourth of July Celebration has been one of the city's main holiday attractions. The committee is made up of representatives from the city's civic and service clubs, veterans' organizations, labor and industry. A free public dance will be held from 9:30 to 12:30 p.m. at the Eagles Club. Music will be furnished toy musicians Local 395 though the music performance trust funds of recording industries.

THE EVENT is backed financially by contributions by the groups represented on the committee along with individual gifts. Local merchants contribute merchandise for prizes awarded winners of various contests and races. Hubbard said: "We are disappointed in not being able to put on the fireworks display this year, but we have a good program planned and invite everyone to come out and enjoy it." Lumber dispute Negotiations still unfruitful PORTLAND (AP) possibility that 60,000 more Pacific Northwest lumber workers will go on strike was not lessened by negotiations Friday. Representatives of the International Woodworkers of America and the Georgia-Pacific Corp. met but no progress was reported toward a contract settlement.

The Woodworkers and the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union said Thursday that the shutdown that already has idled 20,000 workers would eventually spread to the Timber Operators Council and the major independents. The Timber Operators Council is spokesman for 196 employers. They employ some 55,000 to 60,000 members of the two unions. Georgia Pacific and Simpson Timber the big independents, employ several thousand more. The 20,000 already-idled workers are-from plants of the co- called Big Six employer group.

A strike-lockout began more than three weeks ago. All con- tarcts expired June 1. Karl Gtos, executive i president of the Timber Operators Council, ''said Friday that his groups wage proposals are realistic and fair. To put more persons out oi work by expanding the strike would only add further hardship to negotiations, he said. Save two in car Eight drawn in flood ATHENS, Ga.

"I kept yelling for them to throw the children out of the car into the river," said Lamar Thaxton. "But I guess it's pretty hard to throw children into a river." The car carried an elderly couple, seven of their grandchildren and another woman into the swirling current of the rain-swollen Oconee River near the University of Georgia Friday.

Of Communists NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV Redhead may testify English scandal trial continues By RAYMOND E. PALMER LONDON (AP) A shapely redhead who once danced in a Paris nightclub was expected to be called today as a surprise witness in the sensation-packed vice hearing of Dr.

Stephen Ward. The prosecution told 23-year-old Rona Ricardo only 10 hours before the Ward hearing opened Friday that she was wanted as a witness against the 50-year-old society osteopath. EIGHT CHARGES Ward faces eight charges which include running a call girl stable for upper crust Britons and living off the earnings of playgirl Christine Keller and her blonde Foonruna 1 Mamdy Riee-Davies. Miss Ricardo waited in the wings Friday while auburn-haired Christine and Mandy held the stage with sensational accounts of sex in London's governmental, diplomatic and high society circles. The story seemed certain to cause as big an uproar as the original disclosures which causec the downfall of former War Minister John D.

Profumo and nearly toppled Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's government. It was Ward who introduced Christine to Profumo and Soviet naval attache Evgeny Ivanov. It was also Ward who broke the scandal involving the three-way sex relationship of Miss Keeler, Profumo and Ivanov, who was generally regarded as a Soviet intelligence agent. This is the second day of the hearing befone Magistrate Leo Gradwell, who will decide whether Ward should go for trial at the Old Bailey, London's central criminal court. The hearing is expected to last five days.

She admitted she had sexual relations with Profumo. and slept only once with Ivanov. She also told of affairs with Jim "an indiscreet businessman," and with a man named Charles who lived in a Mews house near Park Lane. Some, she said, had given her money or presents. Profumo gave her money for her mother.

From Eylan she had had some hundreds of pounds. Charles gave her 50 140. She gave some of the money to Ward, she testified. She added that her meetings with Eylan often occurred when Ward said he was short of money. NOT TYPICAL But "I never considered myself a prostitute or a she said.

"Stephen said that you have to have the mentality of a prostitute, which I didn't have, and it was not quite so wrong just once or twice sleeping with a man and having some money from him; a man I knew and liked." Christine declared she had never had sexual relations with Ward. "We were b'ke brother and sister. My life really used to revolve around Stephen," she testified. Among the things he asked her to do, she related, was to bring home girls who had taken his fancy. Christine said she even took a job as a model in order to meet girls that Ward would like.

MEARS WASHINGTON (AP) Kennedy's $175-million fallout shelter legacy that of a legislative headed for a test on the House floor. But the man who would be in charge of guiding civil defense legislation through the House conceded today it would take an all- out campaign to win approval. And the administration's civil defense boss, while optimistic about prospects for House passage of the measure, said its chances in the Senate are dim.

That's the situation after five weeks of civil defense hearings before a House Armed Services subcommittee headed by Rep. F. Edward Hebert, D-La. said the subcommittee will resume executive-session hearings July 10, taking secret testimony from Pentagon officials before it decides what to do about the legislation. Hebert himself indicates he's for the measure.

With millions of lives potentially at stake, he said, if Congress errs, it should be in the direction of caution. Hebert would be floor manager of any civil defense bill sent to the House by the Armed Services Committee.
