LBJ Is Sending New Ambassador To NATO Mi ntendent at the Munsar Chemical Plant in Fl that the Fl Dlant at 11 am Fridas, an Wanted Man Nabbed In Chicago By JOHN HIGHTOWER AP Special WASHINGTON In a clear policy clash with French President Charles de Gaulle, President Johnson is sending a new ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Council in Paris with instructions to strengthen and expand the political and nuclear roles of the Atlantic alliance "A strong NATO remains es sential," Johnson told departing Ambassador irland Cleveland "if we are to reach a solid agreement with the Soviet Un ion that reflects the common interests of each of the allied nations in peace and security The President conferred with Cleveland Thursday The White House made public Johnson statement a few hours after Gaulle had declared at a news conference in Paris that Franee intends to end at least by 1969 the "subordination" of French defense forces by NATO De words were read here and by Western observers Paris as a definite statement of intention to remove France from the NATO military command This could mean removal the highly controversial US proposal for forming a Multilateral Nuclear Force MLF in which the United States, West Germany and other allied countries willing to do so would join The MLF, designed primarily to give West Germany a direct voice in nuclear strategy and weapons control, was projected as an internationally manned fleet of surface ships armed with Polaris nuclear missiles.

Late last year the De Gaulle government notified West Germany that it was strongly opposed to MLF' This outright French opposition, plus a variety of political difficulties within the alliance, finally caused temporary shelving of the MLF project Meanwhile the British government advanced ideas for some different nuclear sation under name of Allied Nuclear Force ANF, The wording of Johnson statement left no doubt Cleveland will be prepared to deal with all suggestions put forth in this field.

Shop windows were smashed and 650 national guardsmen were on duty to forestall looting. Canal Street looked like the morning after Mardi Gras, only worse Billboards had been blown from the tops of buildings. Street light stanchions were twisted grotesquely. Street lights had crashed to the street. The hurricane tore five ocean going vessels adrift in the Mississippi.

They smashed into each other, wharves and tug boats Three were finally secured. Two tugs with a total of 17 or 18 persons aboard radioed distress calls to the Coast Guard which called in extra helicopters and airplanes to aid in search and rescue There was even a call from a caboose abandoned for some un explained reason on a Lake Pont chartrain railroad bridge. As winds and rain lightened the aJmost 250,000 evacuees prepared to return to their homes, mostly in low coastal areas, see what the legacy of Betsy had been. The reported dead in third and final meeting with land were all in Louisiana, a woman ci downed and another dead of a heart attack in New Orleans and a man found dead in a riverside boat landing in Baton Rouge The other six deaths occurred in Florida. At Gulfport, Miss, much of the fish industry facilities were washed away, Wade Guice, CivH Defense director for Harrison County which includes much of that coa'itline, said damage could run to $10 million.

Another 40,000 abandoned their homes along vacation coast The eye of the storm that had already hit Florida and the Bahamas skrted New Orleans to the west after feinting its terrifying punch in several directions along the Gulf Coast Then it steadied and moved inshore at 20 knots just west of the mouth. At 4 a the eye was positioned 20 miles west of Baton Rouge where it already had snapped numerous power lines The highest winds had moderated to 100 h. but rainfall in the route of the fading storm was expected to total up to 5 inches.

In New Orleans roofs were blown off. Ships were blown loose in the harbor. Trees bent then cracked Power lines snapped Windows splintered and shards of glass were thrust like daggers in the wind, causing several reported injuries. It was hard enough tJ crawl, let alone walk in the winds that moaned with overwhelming might through the streets, flinging curtains of spray before them Police in the city were hampered in reporting damage as two-thirds of their radio frequencies were out and the others were jammed. Three women in labor were sped from shelters through the storm to hospitals.

The hurricane, with 150 h. top winds, was predicted to move inland, the center passing near the state capital of Baton Rouge about 4 a m. State police headquarters there was blacked out and had to transfer to emergency generators. North of the city the mynad lights of the oil refineries glinted through the ram. The wind was reported to have peaked at 140 p.h, at Thibodaux.

Mayor Victor Schiro said be would ask New Orleans be declared a disaster area after the eye of the hurricane passed a few miles to the westwards, striking the darkened carnival city with winds up to 115 h.

At least one death was reported. a woman who died of a heart attack in a Red Cross shelter That brought the victims to seven Six persons had been killed earlier during passage over Florida It was too early to calculate the damage but it was heavy. As it had to Miami two days before, the hurricane struck New Orleans at midnight At the height of the storm this city of jazz and Mardi Gras was a discord of violence Church bells bonged wildly in the wmd. Police sirens echoed Burglar alarms set off by sundered windows shrilled like angry telephones. Sheets of tin as big as double beds wrenched from roofs skimmed before the wmd, clanging as they went And above it all rode the doom- like bass groan of the storm crying its frenzy.

Betsy also struck hard at Gulf Coast Forty people on low-lying Pass Christian Island near Gulfport were evacuated by a Marine amphibious vehicle In Gulfport National Guardsmen with live ammunition were patrolling against looting The potential as a killer was blunted by widespread evacuation of coastal areas More than 185.000 persons moved back from the Cajun and delta country and homevS bordering the shores of Lake Ponchartrain north of the Divine never would say how old he was, but persons not af filiated with his worldwide Kingdon of Peace estimated he must be around 100 Outsiders had not seen him for years, but reports from inside his palatial suburban Mount of the House of the Lord time to time told of massive banquets attended by his followers.

Under that section, 19 stales now forbid union shop contracts, under which a worker must jom a labor union to hold his job Earlier Dirksen had announced at a news conference, with the backing of the Senate- House Republican leadership, that an all out, bipartisan effort to kill the bill was being organized. If President Johnson ues to insist on Senate consideration of the measure this year, Dirksen said, present session of Congress will end not with a bang in the fall but with a whimper when the snow is no emergency, no crisis that requires alteration of a law for which the President once voted and which he never sought to amend in the course of his 12 years of service in the Dirksen said Mansfield said Johnson had been advised of the developing filibuster against the hii, already parsed by the House, but had made no comment. Reiterating that he plans to call the bill up later in the session, after other administration measures have been acted on, Mansfield declined to speculate on what would happen if a two- thirds majority could not be tamed to cut off a filibuster.

Asked If would be prepared to battle on until Christmas, as Dirksen and other opponents said they are ready to do, Mansfield replied with a smile. a long time Dirksen ou lined plans for organization of teams, each under a captain, to carry on discussion" of the bill just as Southern Senators did in filibustering for 75 days before ssage of the 194 civil rights v.
