They disappeared into the
woods behind her home.
Her curiosity aroused, she
continued to watch the action
through her kitchen window.
A shot echoed through the
woods.

about a block away.
Quick-thinking men at the
plant quickly armed themsel-
YES and went steer hunting
They soon had things under
control, and before any dam

knowledge that Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan's govern
ment, badly shaken by the Pro-
fumo sex-and-security scandal,
is in no position to make any
political decision to carry out
q commitment made by Mr..
Macmillan in his December
meeting with President Ken
nedy at Nassau.
However, they disclosed that
this country has suggested an
interim arrangement-that Mr..
Macmillan send representatives
to get to work on drafting q
treaty.
These officials believe 1t rea-
spnable to get going on the
project to that extent at least.
It may be Mr.. Kennedy and
Secretary Of State Dean Rusk
will urge such q course when
they confer with Mr.. Macmil-
Ian in London.
Although Mr.. Macmillan may
be replaced by his party later
this summer. the United States
would expect his Conservative
successor 10 abide by the Mas
sau agreement.
It is clear that II the opposi-
ton Labor Party should take
power in elections that may
follow, the Laborites would
move TO denegotiate one key
part Of the Nassau pact.
That Is the section under
which Britain is undertaking
TO build o small fleet Of Polaris
missile submarines which could
sail under the British flag but
would be committed TO the
North Atlantic Treaty organi-
zation.
United States authorities are
far from certain. however. that
the Laborites would back out
of the part OF the Nassau
agreement In which Mr.. Mac
milan pledged Britain 10 join
In some form Of multilateral
nuclear force jointly owned
and manned by members of
