Weapons and Training
Held Principal Needs
OF Western Europe
" the Asseslassd Press

oncial Washington is about
convinced that what Western Eu-
ropean nations need now Is more
arms and co-ordinated military
training rather than more soldiers.
This trend In thinking became
evident yesterday In the light Of
discussions In authoritative quar-
ters.
AS q result. there Is no apparent
disposition here to press the coun-
tries of Western Europe to build
up a large number Of divisions this
year. Rather. they will be en-
couraged to provide their present
forces with the best equipment
and training possible under the
circumstances.
And, If an aggressor should
strike in an effort to roll westward
to the Atlantic, 1t would be as
sumed that his front line forces
would be fully equipped and vir-
tually self sufficient for the first
phases Of such O. campaign.
Supply Ii Chief q. s. Role.
Thus, it Is reasoned that even
o heavy aerial blow ut his supply
centers far behind the fighting
lines would be Of little immediate
avail.
Now and for some time to come,
the role Of the United States in
the Atlantic defense program Is
likely to be chiefly that Of mill
tary adviser and furnisher Of
weapons.
Because estimates Of the total
cost to the United States In dol
lars and equipment must be ready
for submission to Congress soon,
American military authorities
here and in the London sessions;
Of the Western European defen-1
sive organization are striving to
come up with some reasonably
concrete figures. Unofficial guesses
have ranged between $1,000.0O0.-
900 and $4,000. .000, 900.
The plans for the defense Of
Western Europe can not be based
on q single campaign blueprint.
A whole array Of alternate plans
to meet different situations must
be made. And 1t has been neces-
sary to make detailed inventories
Of the arms possessed by each
nation so that, eventually. the
total deficit in various arms can
be reported to the United States.
Objective Explained.
What the United States is try
ing to do now is to find out the
extent of this deficit, determine
how much of it can be met by
withdrawing equipment from ex-
listing stocks. and estimate how
much new production will be nee
essary.
This accounting is made in
ereasingly complicated as diplo-
matte efforts go forward to bring
more nations into the proposed
Atlantic alliance. While broad
and highly tentative planning
from the outset has considered
the possibility that more than five
European nations might eventu-
ally be involved, the planning
must be more precise II Norway
and other nations enter the de-
fense organization.
Some military leaders here are
recommending that standardiza-
ton of arms be approached with
caution. They contend that be-
cause of the urgency Of the situa-
ton it is better to distribute what
ever equipment now exists than
to stress immediate standardiza-
ton.

however, that the final Senate ver-
sion will be written on the floor.
Other Variations Likely.
On the House side. where COM
mittee hearings have not yet be-
gun, still further variations may
be proposed. In the end, q con-
ference committee representing
both houses will have to resort to
compromises-as is usually the
case on controversial subjects
before any bill is sent to President
Truman for his signature.
The Senate Labor Committee,
which resumes hearings at $50
am. tomorrow, made public last
night a revised list of 81 witnesses
for the remaining nine days OF
testimony. With the hearings due
to end February %. the committee
will 20 into closed sessions after
that date to act on the bill.
Robert N. Denham, general
counsel to the National Labor Re-
lations Board. will resume the wit
ness stand tomorrow morning.
When bill reaches the Senate
floor, early in March, neither the
Democrats nor the Republicans
are likely to present a united
front on details.
Southerners May Join G. o. p.
Well-informed sources believe,
however, that more than a dozen
Southern Democrats may join
with 80 Of the AZ Republicans In
support of keeping substantial
part Of the Taft-Hartley Act.
II those estimates prove cor
rect. Congress probably will wind
up with bill retaining consid-
cradle portion Of the present law.
However. Senator Humphrey,
Democrat of Minnesota said last
night he thinks the Taft-Hartley
Act can be repealed without the
help of all the Southern Demo-
Gratis.
Senator Humphrey predicted in
a radio interview that enough,
Republicans wilIline up for repeal
to offset Democratic defections.
He said Republicans will have
to vote to Scuttle the measure II
they want to be reelected.
Republican Help Named.
Among those he thinks might
vote for repeal, Senator Hum
phrey named Republican Senators
Saltonstall Of Massachusetts,, Ives
of New York, Aiken and Flanders
of Vermont. and Knowland of CAL
nornia. Only Senator Morse
voted against the Taft-Hartley
measure when 1t was enacted in
1947. Senator Morse has said he
will vote for repeal.
One of the main issues on
the Senate floor will be how to
deal with threatened national
emergency strikes. Administration
forces contend the Taft-Hartley
Injunction provisions are not nee
.essary because the President has
inherent constitutional powers to
protect public health and safety

FOREIGN AFFAIRS, HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES,
ct am appealing on behalf Of
the Washington Colony in the
Holy Land. This humanitarian
organization is establishing In
Israel a Children's Village where
orphaned children from Europe
are to be maintained and train
ed as farmers or craftsmen in
modern Agricultural and Trades
Schools"
This is q very worthy cause
which I heartily endorse. The
most pathetic survivors OF the
Nazi brutality are the little
children who lost their parents.
Lonely and neglected, these
children have undergone the
most inhuman experience imag-
Unable. Their souls and bodies
are broken. They require phys
ical and mental healing. The
perfect solution Of their problem
is rehabilitation in Israel. The
Washington Colony In the Holy
Land is a sacred and vital prof.
ect for the constructive rehab-
ilitation of the innocent young
victims Of naziism, in agricul-
ture or trades in Israel.
The name Washington Col
ony Is in honor of the Father
of Our Country, George Wash
1ngton.'
Make your life rich In light
and blessings by contributing to
this great ife-saving endeavor.
Do not miss the opportunity Of
building q future for the Euro
pean orphans. Join with thous-
ands of other kind-hearted
Americans in building the
Children's Village to turn the
wretched waits into outstanding,
God-fearing and self-supporting
tillers and builders Of the Holy
Land"
Make your checks payable

sincere thanks for your liberal

new West German government,
dominated by conservatives, will
be forged here this week end.
Leaders of the Christian Demo-
cratic Union. which topped Sun
days voting, were summoned to-
day to a series of conferences with
these goals:
/. Forming a coalition of right
wing parties which think largely
like the Christian Democrats to
establish an unchallenged majority
over the Socialists, who still are a
major party.
2. Selecting the first chancellor
(prime minister) in Germany since
Hitler and recommending presi-
dent
The calls went out from DR.
Konrad Adenauer, chairman of the
CDU, who emerged from the vot-
ing for Parliament as the most
powerful single individual in West
Germany's politics.
The 75-year- old Adenauer lives
near Bonn, worked to get Bonn
chosen as the capital, and already
is chancellor in the minds of the
most people in this Rhine River
area.
Dictator Ruled Out.
Exhausted from the strain of a
bitter campaign, DR.. Adenauer
went into temporary seclusion
after the results of the voting
established his party ON top.
His closest associates said he
probably would be meeting with
the leaders of his own party to-
ward the end of the week and that
the coalition talks would start
after that.
He is not a dictator. nor can he
be under our party system" said
one official. There will be no
decisions announced until our
people are in agreement
The coalition talks may de-
velop Sunday. The Free Demo-
cratic Party which won So seats.
have offered their support to the
CDU with it's 139 seats. Other
right-wing parties which can be
calculated to follow the CDU
policy guarantee DR.. Adenauer' S
forces the necessary majority in
the 400-man parliament.
Most observes figure the FDP
forces will back DR.. Adenauer for
chancellor and that the CDU may
in exchange support the FDP
leader, Theodor Heuss, for presi-
dent.
Both Were Anti-Nazi.
Both DR.. Adenauer and Mr..
Heuss had long records of anti
Nazism.
DR.. Adenauer, an aloof lawyer
who was jailed three times by
Hitler's Gestapo, is a devout
Catholic. AS chairman of the
parliamentary council, he piloted

ton through the deliberations at
