Elizabeth Joins Philip
For Two-Doy Reunion

LISBON. Portugal, Feb. Is up.
Queen Elizabeth II arrived here
today for a reunion with her
husband, the Duke of Edin-
burgh. After two quiet days to-
gether. they will embark on a
brief state visit in Portugal.
They had not seen each other
in four months and rumors
were circulating last week that
there was a rift between them.
Buckingham Palace said the
rumors were untrue.
A crowd of Portuguese and
foreign dignitaries and more
than 100 newsmen and photog-
raphers were at Montijo Naval
Air Field as the Queens plane
arrived from London.
Carries His Hat
The Duke reached the field
one minute after the Queens
plane touched down. He was
wearing a gray double breasted
business suit with brown shoes
and carrying a brown hat in his
right hand. Behind him walked
Portuguese Foreign Minister DR..
Paulo Cunha.
A party of Is, including For
eign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd,
arrived with the Queen.
The Queen, wearing a perky
new red hat. and the Duke went
directly from the plane to the
royal yacht Britannia. anchored
at Setubal. about 30 miles south
of the Portuguese capital, for
their week end alone.
After the plane TAXED up to
the control tower, a red-carpeted
staircase was rolled up. The
Duke then boarded the plane to
greet his wife. They retired
alone to the royal lounge of the
plane, which is dec

Arlington today marketed q
50 million block Of school con-
Istruction bonds at a low 3.4436
per cent interest rate.
The surprise sale came during
IA regular session of the County
Board.
The interest rate was more
than / per cent lower than the
rate at which Fairfax County
sold a So million school-bond is
sue in December. The Fairfax
rate was considerably higher
than any school issue sold in the
nearby Virginia area in recent
years. The Arlington issue is the
first sold in the nearby area since
the Fairfax sale.
Some officials attributed part
Of the high Fairfax rate to the
recent legislation passed by the
General Assembly to maintain
total school segregation.
Low bidder on the Arlington
bonds was the Peoples National
Bank OF Charlottesville.
Lowest of 2 Offers
The accepted figure was the
lowest of two offers made at the
private" bond sale and the low
lest effective rate for Virginia
school bonds in recent months
Second bidder was Halsey
Stuart and Co., Inc, with an
effective interest rate offer OF
slightly more than 3.46 per cent
The agent for this national
investment banking firm was
Richard B. Rayl. Of the Lynch
burg Office.
The accepted rate means the
county will pay about $688,72C

.Israe|is Deny
Rejecting Plan
Principle Accepted
Sources Here Soy
BY CROSBY S. MOVES

Israeli sources here protested
vigorously today the charge thai
Israel has rejected" an Ameri.
can offer aimed at securing hel
withdrawal from Egypt.
Israel has. in fact accepted "ir
principle the idea of withdraw.
ing her troops from the GAIA
Strip and Sharm ell Sheikh near
the entrance to the Gulf OF
Aqaba, these sources said.
/ Apart from this, however, it is
now clear that Israel's conditions
for withdrawal have not substan-
TALLY changed. The Tel Aviy gov
eminent still demands firm guar
antees that Egypt shall not re-
occupy GAIA or reimpose its
blockade Of Israeli shipping in
the gulf.
The note. handed to Secretary
OF State Dulles by Israeli Ambas-
sador Abba Eban makes clear
attempt to separate these two
problems.
Conditions Listed
| So far as Aqaba is concerned,
Israeli withdrawal in principle is
accepted on condition that:
l. The United Nations Emer-
gency Force should occupy the
area of Sharm ell Sheikh where
Egyptian shore batteries were
formerly established until a
permanent peace settlement is
secured. or,
2. That the United States
makes a firm guarantee of the
right of free passage for Israeli
shipping through the straits at
the mouth Of the gulf.
The note expresses apprecia-
ton to Mr.. Dulles for his con-
structive approach In trying to
reach a settlement of this prob
lem.
At the same time. it asks the
United States to spell out clearly
what it would do in the case that
Egypt once again tried to stop
ships from reaching Israeli ports

Sanctions Question
The Dulles reference to "fur-

U. 5. Stockpi|es
A-Warheads
In Europe
Supplies in France
Meant to Serve
Against Red Attack
BY PRESTON GROVER

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
PARIS, Feb. l6.-The United
States has stockpiled atomic
warheads in France, it was
learned authoritatively today.
The source of this disclosure
cannot be given, but it is now
solid information.
Selected allied forces in NATO
are being trained in the use
of equipment that would carry
the warheadS. The warheads
themselves are held by United
States forces.
United States law forbids de-
livery of atomic warheads to
other nations. However, as one
expert put it. the aim of the
Supreme Headquarters Allied
Powers in Europe is to train the
allied forces so carefully that
in the event of Russian attack all
the Americans in charge of the
stockpile would have to say is:
Sergeant, there's the key"
The United States Government
never has disclosed whether A.
bombs or warheads were located
at any OF its overseas bases. The
atomic energy law forbids such
disclosures. Last January 3 Gen.
Randolph Pate, Marine Com
r1andant, was quoted as saying
Marines with the United States
9th Fleet in the Mediterranean
were armed with live" atomic
artillery. but the White House
refused to confirm or deny that
this meant atomic warheads.
NOrstad Statements Recalled
Tin Washington, the Pentagon
declined comment.
ct was recalled. however, that
Gen. Lauris Norstad, Supreme
Commander in Europe. has
limited on at least two occasions
that such weapons would be
available to NATO forces in the
event of war.
TN a Washington interview on
January 81. he said there is need
for rather bread distribution
OF atomic power in support of
NATO forces. adding that "a
great deal can be done without
running in any way contrary to
existing law which forbids turn
ing atomic weapons over to
others.
In another interview last No
vemner 26. Gen. Norstad said
plans for the defense Of Western
Europe "are based on the full
and prompt use. of nuclear
weapons in event of general war
He said Western Europe could
not be defended without the use
Of atomic weapons.)
Soviet Has Warned
The Soviet Union warned the
United States January % against
setting up nuclear weapon and
missile bases in other countries
and said countries permitting
such bases would receive quick
atomic retaliation in the event
OF war. The warning apparently
was a reaction to the disclosure
