Gen. Nathan Twining, Air Force chief, returned from a European trip Saturday, two days ahead of his schedule, to be on hand for today's meeting in the Pentagon." Adm. Robert Carney, chief of naval operations, delayed an overseas trip for the special meeting. However, a spokesman emphasized that no emergency situation had prompted calling of the Sunday session. It was explained that in addition to discussing matters that might come up at the NATO Military Committee sessions the Joint Chiefs had a number of routine subjects to consider, including preparation of material for presentation to congressional committees when the new military budget is taken up.
