Other European countries in addition to Britain would be welcome. NATO would be scrapped. Europe would be independent in what De Gaulle called world terms. He said, according to the British version: Once there is a truly independent Europe there will be no need for NATO as such, with its American dominance and command structure. Soames submitted this version of the talk to De Gaulles office at the Elysce Palace Feb. 8, sources here said. The British ambassador was told that De Gaulle agreed to his record of the conversation. High French sources denied Saturday that De Gaulles office had agreed to any such record. They also asserted that De Gaulle had not said any European country would have to quit NATO in order to join the European organization he envisioned. Soames turned in his report to the British government. Britain replied Feb. 12 that it could not accept De Gaulle's NATO proposals, still wanted to join the Common Market, but would join in talks on the proposals if it could inform the other Common Market countries. They were told within the next few days. So was the U.S. government. An account of the exchanges was not published by the British until Friday, after versions of it appeared in two Paris papers. Debre called Britain's disclosure po litical activism. He seemed to be saying that Britain was trying to show Nixon he could not trust De Gaulle. The newspaper Paris Presse, w hich rarely expresses opinions at variance with the government, headlines: "The English are trying to get De Gaulle. Debre said in a radio speech that De Gaulle did not discuss such things as secret talks with Britain, but he added: Gen. De Gaulle wished, for the common interest, to examine if it were possible that Great Britain foresaw exploratory conversations on the economic and political perspectives of Europe. Soames was called to the French Foran aleign Ministry Saturday night most unprecedented hour for diplomatic conversations in Paris outside wartime.

On the contrary, he said, We are going there to listen to them, to exchange views, to get their best information and their best advice as to how their problems should be solved and how world problems should be solved. We need their advice and we are going there very honestly trying to seek it. Warning his listeners not to expect spectacular news from this trip, he nevertheless forecast solid progress solid in the sense that as a result of this trip there will be a new spirit of consultation which will lead to a new spirit of confidence among our European friends and ourselves. Silent on De Gaulle Flan Mr. Nixon offered no comment Friday and none was forthcoming from the White House Saturday on Gen. Charles de Gaulles reported proposal to replace the Common Market with a looser European trade area and a political directorate composed of France, West Germany, Britain, and Italy. As reported by British sources, Britain would be allowed to assume a commanding role in this new, Gaullist version of Europe only if, in time, it agreed to scrap both the North Atlantic Treaty Common Organization and the Market, from which France has been excluding Britain for six years. The British appear now to have rejected the idea, specifically the dismemberment of NATO and the Common Market. But even so, American officials acknowledge that the proposal has introduced a new element of uncertainty into n Complicates Agenda based on NATO, the Common Market and European political unity that Mr. Nixon may feel compelled to oppose it and thus damage his carefully cultiva'ed image of neutrality toward Europe's ternal affairs. in- insisted privately Saturday that Mr. Nixon was likely to stick to his original diplomatic stance and remain silent or at least publicly noncommital about the De Gaulle proposaL 8-D- ay Visit to Europe East-Wes- delicate mission, for it will require the President not only to alert the Europeans to the potential benefits of direct negotiations between the superpowers but, simultaneously, to allay their fears that such negotiations would lead to the sacrifice of West European interests. Special Problems, Issues Each country, meanwhile, will present the President with special problems and special issues. The Italians have a long list of specific economic items. The Germans will want to discuss the nonproliferation treaty, which would require them to renounce the right to have nuclear weapons and which the United States would like them to sign. But on the whole, these will be explored in tentative fashion, the assumption being that once mutual confidence is established, bargaining ''an then proceed at some point in the future.

He chose to stay at a hotel rather than in one of the royal palaces. Belgian officials said U.S. security men had objected that there were too many trees around palace windows, which could complicate their problems. The president will be kept largely out of the public view. He will be whisked swiftly through town by a motor escort The tone of his visit is all business. I.i keeping with this, there is little public fanfare. Fast Trip to Palace First of all, they acknowledge, it has clearly complicated his agenda, if only because there is now one more delicate issue that needs airing. More broadly, they fear, it represents such an obvious challenge to the postwar dream of a North Atlantic partnership The White House, however, more than two months as they prepare to unload cargo at a wharf in the port of New Orleans. To do otherwise, the presidents advisers seem to fpel, would simply confirm publicly what the British say De Gaulle has been telling them privately that with America cooperation inevitably involves domination by America. And this, of course, is precisely the opposite of the impression President Nixon hopes to generate. Despite the broad amjl cautious description attached to Mr. 'Nixons objectives, both he and his aides are prepared to discuss a host of controversial specific issues in the next week. There are several issues that will arise in every country: the Middle East, long-tert relations, the problems of the alliance itself including, inevitably, the delicate relationships between its members and international monetary and trade problems. In addition, it is a clear but unstated objective of the trip to establish the groundwork for future discussions between the United States and the Soviet Union.

To Vote Today The Port of Philadelphia was shut down but the ILA has agreed to a new contract and the membership will vote on it Sunday. Ratification was conexpected. Negotiations tinue in Boston and Galveston. The strike, which began Dec. 20, is the longest in American maritime history and the costliest to the naan estimattions economy ed $2 billion. At one time, 578 ships were tied up in every major port on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The strike began to end a week ago when the New York locals reached an agreement with the New York Shipping Assn, which set the pattern for the industry. The new contract gave the dock workers $1.60 an hour more in wage and fringe benefits during the next three years. Includes Repack Clause There also was a clause giving the ILA certain rights to repack containerized cargo if it had been packed within 50 miles of New York. This clause became a uniform demand of locals on both coasts but shippers balked and the strike was prolonged.
