His deep concern for European defense has made Airman Norstad a strong advocate of a Europe-based NATO nuclear striking force, which is unacceptable to the Ken nedy Administration. In 1960 he had a mild heart attack; by last January he talked seriously of resigning. A few months later, he suffered an unpublicized second heart attack.
