Policy Makers Weigh
u. 5. Military Alliance
With Western Europe
May Seek Resolution
To Test Congressional
Sentiment on Idea
BY Gornett D. Horner

A plan for early testing of
congressional sentiment on a
military alliance between the
United States and anti-Commu-
mist Western European nations
was reported under considera-
ton by bipartisan foreign policy
leaders today.
The plan was said to call for sub
mission to Congress of a resolution
indorsing in broad terms the idea
of joining the Western European
democracies in a regional defense
arrangement similar to that worked
out by the American republics under
the United Nations Charter.
Highly placed informants said the
proposal was discussed last night at
a secret meeting of Secretary of
State Marshall and Undersecretary
Lovett with Chairman Vandenberg
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee and John Foster Dulles,
prominent Republican foreign policy
expert who has taken leading role
in American participation in the
United Nations.
Marshall Maintains Silence.
Gen. Marshall refused at a news
conference today to say whether
United States military support for
the Western European nations was
discussed.
He said the whole matter Of how
to carry out President Truman's as
surance that the western Union"
nations would be given appropriate
support is under consideration and
that he is not yet prepared to make
any statement on it.
The only comment he would make
on last nights meeting was to re-
iterate statement he made to
single reporter who learned of the
secret session at the Blair House
and waited outside to question the
participants as they emerged. That
statement was that 1--WE are discuss
