ATOM SUB FOR FRANCE
‘U.S. To Keep Promise’ (NX. Press Assn.—Copyright) NEW YORK, October 17. The United States was planning to sell France an atomic-powered submarine in fulfilment of a promise made four years ago, the “New York Times" reported today. The ship was a Nautilustype attack submarine, not a Polaris-type armed with longrange ballistic missiles, the newspaper said in a Washington dispatch. United States-French relations have cooled in recent years, mainly because the united States had not assisted French nuclear ambitions.
The original promise of an atomic-powered submarine was made by the Eisenhower Administration in ISM at the time of General de Gaulle’s return to power in France, the "New York Times” said.
