Atlantic Council
Approves Joint
Defense Force
French Stand Delays
Agreement on Arms
For West Germany
By Gornett D. Horner
Star Stoff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-The
North Atlantic Council has ac-
cepted an American proposal that
Western Allied forces committed
to defend free Europe against pos
sible Soviet attack should be
amalgamated into a single force
under one top command. it was
learned tonight.
The 12-nation council came
close to agreeing that West Ger
man divisions should be armed as
an integral part of this s'commu-
nifty army" However. it post
poned q decision on this portion
of the "single package" proposal
expounded by Secretary of State
Acheson.
Meeting in secret here yester-
day and today, the council re-
cessed tonight until Monday
without announcing any decisions
and without releasing any official
news at all on its discussion of
West Germany's role in the de-
fense of Europe.
Joint Army Planned.
It was learned from various
diplomatic sources, however, that:
!. Full agreement in principle
was reached with little difficulty
on the bold new concept of a
community army" proposed by
Mr.. Acheson. This calls for con-
tingents Of this country's and its
Western Allies armed forces to
be integrated into a joint defense
force to be trained. equipped and
directed under the orders of ora
man at the head of a combined
staff.
2. Mr.. Acheson insisted that a
force adequate to the task of
meeting the Russian threat could
net be created without using Ger
man soldiers as soon as they could
be organized and equipped.
3. French Foreign Minister
Schuman baked at making any
decision on German rearmament
now. but left the way open for
agreement later If the proposal
can win sufficient political sup
port in France.
Bevin Raises No Objection.
4. British Foreign Secretary
Bevin. who came to New York
believing creation of any German
military units was too risky, in
dicated approval of the Acheson
arguments by saying he had no
objection in principle.
5. Representatives on the coun-
Gil OF the other nine nations allied
with the Big Three under the
North Atlantic Treaty accepted
as necessary. although undesir-
able, the idea of dealing Germany
in on Europe's defense buildup
under the conditions laid down by
Mr.. Acheson.
6. Laying the German question
aside temporarily this afternoon,
the council members instructed
their deputies to study the feasi-
bility of setting up some kind of
international machinery to regu-
late production and prices of ma
ter1als in short supply for the in
tegrated defense effort.
There appeared to be little real
difference between the American
and French positions on using
German soldiers in the combined
European defense force except for
the matter Of timing a decision.
MIR. Acheson wants agreement
now. Mr.. Schuman feels that a
decision can be made just as well
when equipment is available in
excess of the needs of the North
Atlantic allies for the German
units.
