The bonds will be sold to the best bidder, bank or otherwise, and the bank’s commitment reduces weeks of red tape. The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on a proposed ordinance revision tightening subdivision regulations before its passage, which was to occur Tuesday.

U.S. seeks NATO vote on vetoless nuclear plan
The United States will ask NATO members to approve a plan for allied consultations on using nuclear weapons against aggressors and to give NATO nations joint control over triggering missiles within their borders. No veto rights would exist against U S or British uses from elsewhere. The proposal aims to ease Continental Europe fears of unilateral atomic strikes. The NATO chiefs meet in Paris next Monday to consider action, with Britain said to back the plan. If approved, the process could extend to the Baghdad Pact and SEATO members.
