HIGHTOWER AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON (AP) The United States notified France today that French forces stationed in Germany will lose access to U.S. nuclear weapons stockpiled there when those forces are withdrawn from Allied command.

The note, delivered in Paris and made public by the State Department, also advised that hasty action in ending U.S. military activities in France "could jeopardize the security Interests of all members" of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. United States rejected a French-suggested deadline of April 1, 1967, for removal of all No Applicants For Youth Jobs GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. (AP) The Youth Opportunity Center here didn't expect, a wealth of applicants for an antipoverty project aimed at providing jobs to the jobless.

But not a single applicant has signed up for the $221,650 project designed to make part- time city employes of school dropouts. Jack Vandcrwal, a center official, said the project could not compete with the many jobs available In the area because It could guarantee only 20 hours a week at an hourly rate of $1.25. military activities from France. American note further notified the De Gaulle govern- nient that its withdrawal from NATO agreements raises "financial problems and responsibilities" which will have to be discussed. Officials here have been saying for several weeks that France had no legal right to withdraw from the NATO military setup and that its decision to withdraw anyway meant France should share the cost of new military dispositions in, other countries.

underlying theme of the Whole U.S. note is that NATO is based on a set of treaty arrangements which are interlocking and which carry responsibilities as well as benefits fqr the members. entire tone of the note is njuch in line with a magazine interview in which Secretary of S(ate Dean Rusk sharply dis 2 Giant Steam Power Plants Being Planned ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) The way has been cleared for construction of two giant steam generating plants in the South west, the first stage in develop ment of the largest regional electric power program in histo ry. Under an agreement an nounced Monday night between the Interior Department and a group of electric utilities, one of the million-kilowatt steam generating plants will be near Farmington, N.M., and the other below Lake Mohave and Davis Dam in the southern tip of Nevada.

Besides supplies of adequate dependable power for a nine- state area, the program also will mean a big economic boost for depressed areas in which the plants are to be constructed. The New Mexico plant has been described by officials of the sprawling Navajo reservation as more beneficial to the tribe's economy than any single activity in history. Interior Secretary Stewart Udall announced in Washington the agreement with Western Energy Supply and Transmission Associates WEST, a group of 21 private and public electric utilities. Formed in 1964 to plan for future' electrical needs, WEST by 1985 plans to have three times the generating capacity of Tennessee Valley Authority and 18 times that of Grand Coulee Dam. The agreement covers water contracts, sites, rights-of-way and Indian-owned coal.

Measures are spelled out to abate air and water pollution at the plants. "This clears the way for all necessary agreements," said WEST President D. W. Reeves of Albuquerque, chief executive of Public Service Company of New Mexico. "In other words we can proceed now with the construction." Reconstitution Of Man Seen in Century or Two LOS ANGELES (AP) When ancient Egyptians mummified their thousands of years ago, they did so in the belief that the dead would be reincarnated in all their splendor at some future time.

That time, says a university zoologist, is no more than a century or two away. But the process will be reconstitution instead of reincarnation, Prof. Elof Carlson told a group of fellow scientists Monday. The actual dead will not be brought back to life, but in their place will be grown physical copies of men and women who once lived, he said. The copies will have all of the genius possessed by their predecessors, except for their memories and emotions.

Carlson, a zoologist at the University of California at Los Angeles, said the process will be routine within a century or two because of the study of genetic codes or gene patterns. These codes or patterns, preserved in the dried tissue of mummified bodies, could be copied and placed in fertilized egg cells. "For example, once the genetic code of a great genius is determined, hundreds of thousands of his duplicates can be created for the world's benefit. If Mozart's body had been mummified, thousands of Mo- zarts could be reconstituted," Dr. Carlson said.

"We some day could be able to reconstitute Joan of Arc except that she was burned. As an example, we certainly will be able to reconstruct King Tutankhamen from his Egyptian mummy." Carlson said he is confident that nucleic acid crystals necessary to identify the mummy's genetic code will be found. He noted that other proteins discovered in such tissue have made it possible for scientists to type the blood of Egyptians who have been dead for tens of centuries. Young Russian Burns Self lo Death in Moscow MOSCOW (AP) A young truckdriver from the Ukraine burned himself to death in a central Moscow square after Soviet authorities would not let him fight in Viet Nam, Russian sources said today. The sources said Nikolai Didyk, 26, poured gasoline on his head about 8 p.m.

last Thursday in front of a big children's store, set himself aflame, and ran into the street with his arms spread wide, stopping traffic. They reported Didyk's wife said he had been "obsessed with the war in Viet Nam." The sources said Didyk's immolation' occurred in Dzershin- sky Square, in view of Lubianak Prison, headquarters of the Soviet secret police. They reported passersby seized the young man, put the fire out and called an ambulance. The sources said he died Sunday in Burdenko military hospital. According to the sources, Didyk was from Zuigres, in the Don River basin of the Ukraine, and had been a border guard until 1962.

He reportedly volunteered for service in Viet Nam at home, was repeatedly turned down, and had come to Moscow to try again. Police referred all questions about the incident to the press department of the Soviet Foreign Ministry. A spokesman there said he had no information on the case. The deputy director of the hospital also said he had no information. The Soviet press has carried no stories on the incident.

The Russian sources who described the suicide said they had heard about it from eyewitnesses and had confirmed it by further checks. Soviet officials have reported a number of times that many Soviet citizens have volunteered to fight in Viet Nam. There has never been any announcement of any being accepted. Swings Han Killed in 1-Car Crash at Kimball Negro Nurse Cheered by Visit ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) The feeble, white-haired Negro woman grasped the hand of Franklin D.

Roosevelt whose sm'ile and profile are reminiscent of his famous father's and said, "Oh, darling boy." "Lizzie, I hope these flowers will brighten your Easter holidays," said Roosevelt, handing Mrs. Irvin M. McDuffie, 85, a bouquet of red, white and blue carnations. Roosevelt, 51, chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, stopped briefly in Atlanta to address the Rotary Club and to pay a nostalgic visit to Mrs. McDuffie who was maid and nursemaid for many years to the Roosevelt family.

He and his blonde wife, Suzanne, were enroute to Warm Springs, for ceremonies today marking the 21st anniversary of the death of President Roosevelt.

AP) A Roman Catholic iriest who took a wife says he will try to establish guest house for married priests. Anthony Girandola, 46, says an estimated total of 5,000 U.S.

priests have left the clergy to ake wives. "1 am tired of hiding the fact hat I am a priest," said Girandola. "If the church wishes to xcommunicate me for publiciz- ng this fact, let it do so." Girandola left Westerly, R.I., where he had worked as a newsman, about two weeks ago. Charles W. Utter, editor of the Daily Westerly Sun, said he Was urprised to hear that Girandola a priest.

"He had a Wonderful touch with a human interest story," said Utter. "He was a good man, and I hated to lose him." He said Girandola's wife suf- ered from asthma and this prompted their move south. Girandola said the church reused him dispensation to He said in some cases priests have been allowed to marry but are forbidden from practic- ng the ministry and must keep their married status secret. Girandola reported that the church has required priests who lave broken their vows of celi- to leave any area in which hey are known as priests. A native of Hartford, he attended St.

BernardSs Major Seminary in Rochester, N.Y., and has worked as a cashier, waiter and advertising agency copy writer. Girandola and his wife, Lor riane, have a four-month-old son, Anthony Jr. Girandola said he would so icit funds for his guest house and also will look for a place of assembly where he can hold services. He added that he saw no reason why he should not continue to do a priest's work. Priests are not trained for work outside the church and need help readjusting if they marry and must look for other employment, Girandola said.

He said he had asked the church to help him set up his guest house but had been re NY Man Tlving On LSD' Kills Nolher-in-Law NEW YORK (AP) A medical school dropout who told police he had been flying for three days on the drug LSD has been charged with slashing his visit Monday.

It still was not known Whether their oil cargoes would go to Rhodesia. The tanker Manuela, carrying 2,000 tons of oil, entered the Durban port area after picking up a pilot and lay off the docks awaiting space to berth. The Manuela went on to Durban after the British frigate Berwick ntercepted the Greek-regis- ered ship when it seemed leaded for Portuguese-held Hera, which has an oil pipeline to ebellious Rhodesia, The British diverted the Manuela Sunday after U.N.

Secu- Council resolution author- zed Britain to intercept tankers believed carrying oil for the white minority regime of Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith. Smith told a reporter in Sails- )ury the council action "seems a bit of a joke." "It seems very surprising to me that a so-called peace-mak- ng body can make such a deci- ion," he said. The South African government, which sympathizes with Smith's aims and racial policies, has been allowing private companies to ship sufficient oil overland to supply Rhodesia's essential needs.

Despite the departure of the marines, 5,000 persons, includ- ng 500 Vietnamese soldiers and more than 100 armed students, marched in a new antigovernment demonstration in the streets of Da Nang. The students were members of a 'struggle committee" formed in Hue, another center of Buddhist unrest. The students carried U.S. carlines, grenades and pistols issued to them by Vietnamese officers.

They displayed banners readng: "The United States has vio- ated our autonomy by supporting the Ky government which is not chosen by the Vietnamese and "America stays here because it wants to, not at the bidding of our people." 13 more, wrecking 13 boxcars and smashing 6 warehouses and 8 trucks within a 36-mile radius of Vinh. Air Force jets roared over the Dien Bien Phu area, in northwestern North Viet Nam, as well as Vinh. Pilots reported destroying three storage buildings near Son La, 54 miles east of Dien Bien Phu, four more in a staging tone 45 miles to the east, and setting four more aflame nearby. They also said they destroyed 20 buildings and damaged five at Bung Cha, 74 miles southwest of Vinh, and damaged three roads and a pontoon bridge. The U.S.

spokesman did not explain why the decision had been made to send the Guam- based bombers north. But it is known the U.S. Military Command Is highly pleased with the saturation bombings in the south, both as a military weapon- against underground Viet Cong positions and as a psychological weapon against enemy morale. Flying over the weather at 40,000 feet, the B52s usually strike in waves of 10 planes. They can't be heard from the ground, and the enemy doesn't know he is being attacked until the bombs come tumbling down on him.

The multimillion-dollar bombers, 'pride of the Strategic Air Command, were designed originally to carry nuclear weapons for massive retaliation against an aggressor before the development of accurate ocean-spanning intercontinental ballistic missiles. Pleased with their successful use in a guerrilla war, the Defense Department recently embarked on a program of modification expanding the payload of the bombers from 38,250 pounds to 60,000 pounds. They will be able to carry 84 of the 500-pound bombs inside and 24 of the 750- pound bombs under their wings. The Defense Department acknowledged in Washington that the U.S. air war in the south had been temporarily curtailed because of a shortage of bombs.

the struggle by the belief that they can win, their belief being based primarily on two political considerations. One is that in spite of the great military strength which the United States has thrown into the war, South Viet Nam will be torn apart by its own political factions. The other basis of the Communists' belief in eventual vie- tory is said to be their view that the American people and government eventually will tire of the conflict and its political trials and will make peace on terms favorable to the Viet Cong and North Viet Nam. Viet Nam (Continued from Page 1) probe killed five members of a Viet Cong platoon in a brisk fight. The battle Monday night lasted five hours.

Helicopters were unable to bring out the dead and wounded until engineers chopped clearings in the forest today. The eight-engine bombers went north after more than 200 raids on Viet Cong targets below the 17th Parallel. They hammered at Mu Gia Pass, a funnel for men and arms to the south. A U.S. spokesman did not give an assessment of damage or the number of planes but they probably dropped a half million pounds of bombs or more on their target.

The Mu Gia Pass cuts across the Anna mite mountains on the Laotian frontier.

Ball said in a television interview Sunday that he would not regard South Viet Nam's internal trouble as "anything that needs to be deplored so long as it doesn't interfere with the conduct of the military operations." Monday the Detense Department confirmed reports from Saigon of what was called a temporary decline in bombing operations against the Viet Cong.

Monday night, however, big Guam-based B52 bombers hit targets in North Viet Nam for the first time. Other informants reported more generally that the political unrest was beginning to limit ground military operations. Presumably this meant that the number of Vietnamese forces available for action against the Communists was being reduced to some degree by Ky's assignment of units to try to control civil strife. The Communists, officials say, have been suffering severe military blows for many months now and in the U.S. view it is urgently important to maintain the pressure.

The objective of the military pressure is to break the Viet Cong will to fight by convincing the leaders and the rank and file that they cannot possibly win.

Mundt has been elected to three consecutive six year terms in the Senate and earlier five two-year terms in the a total of 28 years. Last October the South Dakota Poll conducted by the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, Aberion gave Mundt 84 per cent and Murphy 12 per cent.

However, Murphy has campaigned vigorously since then, and Republican observers at Pierre say he should have picked up some strength. Murphy contested the October poll, saying his own poll showed he and Mundt each received about 50 per cent. Mundt is the only top-bf-the- ticket candidate so far with primary opposition. Rep. E.
