WASHINGTON, July II.
(UP)-Sen. Burton X. Whee-

that American and British
officials are discussing a plan
to pool naval resources of the two
nations under an arrangement
whereby this nation would patrol
the north Atlantic and the British
navy the English Channel and the
south Atlantic.
The navy had no comment on the
charge. -...-
Wheeler said that he did not
know whether any decision had
been reached on the proposed pool
ing of the two navies. He added
that statement this week by Prime
Minister Winston Churchill, suggest
ing such an arrangement, had been
merely a trial balloon for some
thing that Churchill already knew
was being discussed"
MY understanding from reliable
sources" Wheeler said, sis that
official talks about pooling the nav
les of the two countries are already

"As I understand it, our navy
would work in the north and the
British navy would work in the
channel and the south"
