Communities in Minnesota Gaulle that American proposals for a mixed-manned nuclear fleet, or any arrangement growing out of that multilateral force would be left open for ultimate French participation. Rusk, Britain's Patrick Gordon Walker and West Germany's Gerhard Schroeder scheduled a private meeting to discuss the nuclear command idea. The United States and Germany prefer the original fleet idea. Under this arrangement the alliance would create a fleet of 25 surface ships armed with a total of 200 nuclear-tipped Polaris missiles. Britain wants to expand the idea into an Atlantic nuclear force and to include Polaris submarines, some of Britain's own V-bombers and possibly land-based missiles.

Final control over use of the missiles would rest in the hands of the president of the United Clement Leaves Tax Cut For People To Decide By JOHN PARISH MEMPHIS, Tenn. Gov.

This allows the chairman of a legislative committee to call up for a vote on Wednesdays any bill approved by his committee. It permits a complete by-pass of the Rules Committee, but has been used sparingly in the past because it limits debate.

Rep. Gerald R. Ford of Michigan, chairman of the GOP conference, said at least 115 Republicans have indicated their intention to attend the meeting. Matters expected to be discussed at the session include proposed changes in the rules of the Republican party and of the House itself, more adequate staffing for minority members of House committees, construction of a new and more popular "image" for the Republican party and perhaps changes in the House leadership structure. Currently, there are no signs of a major threat to the minority leadership of Rep.
