President Charles de Gaull jays France's allies must reconcile themselves to French foreign policy initiatives. In two speeches yesterday, De Gaulle made clear his intention to hold to positions he has taken world affairs, despite frequent annoyance voiced particularly by the United States. "The French president came here after a friendship visit to Mexico.

1 De Gaulle did not specifically mention the United States, but his words seemed to be directly aimed at Washington. "We are a great nation and pvervone recoenize'. it." De Gaulle said. "This does not mean that we nut ourselves in opposition to those who do not threaten us, and in particular those who are our friends and allies. Stresses Independence "It is up to them to adapt themselves to this new and very satisfying situation for us French independence.

As soon -s they adapt to it and admit that France too can take initiatives, take its own actions, have its own policies, there will no longer be a shadow between us and them. "It's up to them. We hope that they will accept it as soon as possible. De Gauhe played his old theme of French grandeur. "We are a people which must live, a people with a great vocation, with a great task.

Sometimes they say: General De Gaulle speaks of grandeur. Yes. that's certainly true. We need that. Our fathers were able to accomplish something worthwhile only on condition that there was grandeur.

The most costly policy, the most ruinous, is to" be small, to ask something from everyone, without ever obtaining it." FLIER From Page 1 Berlin, which is not recognized by the United States. Gromyko said he was fully aware of a U.S. warning that continued detention of the three would jeopardize improving relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, but that it was a case for East German officials. In Moscow, U.S. charge d'affaires Walter Stoessel said he received a Soviet reply last night to the warning that continued detention of the airmen would endanger U.S.

Soviet rehtions and that the reply "was not helpful." Mr. Stoessel declined to release the text of the Soviet note, but said it did not mention one of the three being released or Gromyko's asserion that the United States should deal with East Germany in seeking their freedom. Earlier, in Washington, a State Department spokesman suggested the united Mates may use travel restrictions on East Germans as a bargaining weapon in attempting to win release of the airmen. Press officer Richard I. Phillips rejected yesterday an apparent Soviet bid to win a form of western recognition for the East German regime by trying to turn the issue over to the East Germans.

speech that the country "can well afford to get along" without Mr. Rusk. They took issue with Mr. Rusk for saying in a Salt Lake City speech Thursday night that if the country's "quitters" had their way the United States would be playing into the hands of its adversaries. Critics of Aid Plan Both Sen.

Morse and Sen. Gruening are critics of the $3.4 billion foreign aid program President Johnson sent to Congress Thursday and both advocate the withdrawal of U.S. forces from South Viet Nam. Sen. Morse called Mr.

Rusk's speech to the Western Political Science association "one of the most unfortunate by a responsible government official in many years." Sen. Gruening said he hoped that Mr. Rusk, on reflection, would realize he "went off half-cocked" and suggested the secretary should apologize for "slurs" on Sen. Morse and him for their differences on foreign policy. There was no comment from the State Department.

"If McCarthyism Is the new public relations program of the State Department, the most helpful quitting the secretary of state could do would be just to quit being secretary of state. We can get along without him, the country can well afford to get along without him. "The political tactic of equating every dissident with communism does not sound any better coming from the secretary of state than it did when it came from the late unlamented Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy." CHASE From Page 1 Mr.

Coeyman said no "pats the police on the back and says well done" when troublesome situations arise and are handled quietly. "I don't feel anyone has the right to point a finger of guilt at a police officer doing his duty," he said. Mr. Keith said his record for upholding the dignity of policemen and other law enforcement officers is of long standing. "I believe," he said, "my feelings, my regard, and my esteem for policemen of all rank and grades is constantly being upheld by my actions in their behalf, as well as in behalf of the public interest.

I would rather not make any other comment or reply." Mr. Keith's statement had termed the chase "unwarranted," and saying that a motor vehicle offense does not call for a high speed chase. McCloskey Takes Exception Councilman Stephen Mc Clos-key Thursday night "took ex-cepton" to Mr. Keith's statement, saying "police in general are being hamstrung by laws." He added regular patrolmen on the South Belmar force would have done the same thing with regard to the chase. Spring Lake Heights Police Chief George Newman, while saying that Special Patrolman Richardson "used good judgment" in the chase, added that members of his department were instructed to avoid high speed chases in accordance with the resolution passed by the Police Chiefs Association.

He said the Spring Lake Heights patrol car on the scene did not take part in the chase, did not use its siren, and did not turn on its flasher. "I made no reference," Assemblyman Keith said, "to Spring Lake Heights or any member of its police department in my statement, and I regret that Chief Newman evidently misconstrued my comments, which were based on the general problem concerning high speed chases." DUBLIN Brendan Behan, the boisterous, bibulous Irish playwright-patriot, anti- British terrorist, and incorrigible rebel against authority, died last night. He was 41. At the end he was a burned out tippler, leaving a relatively small body of published and dramatized works and ending what had promised to be a brilliant rather than merely spectacular career. He spent some of his earlier years in reformatories and prisons.

The chubby, pear-shaped little Irishman with the twisted grin and the puckish rebound from ever imminent disaster long had suffered from diabetes and other infirmities that either arose from excesses or dictated a more austere life for survi- vai.

Hughes reitereated yesterday his opposition to invoking the utilities anti-strike law. The law permits the state to operate a struck utility during a period of arbitration that would be binding on both the company and the union. Recalls Driscoll Action The governor told the New Jersey Youth Legislature in Trenton that such a law is "not a bad idea under certain circumstances." He noted that former Gov. Alfred Driscoll invoked the law in '951 to help bring about a quick settlement of a bus strike. But since that time, he said, the U.S.

Sunreme Court has held that state seizure of public utilities is unconstitutional, since it pre-empts the federal right to control interstate commerce.
