Eisenhower Warns
Europe II Must Pay
Highly for Security
BY the Assoeioted Press

PARIS. Dec. 15.-Gen. Dwight
d. Eisenhower today told Euro
pean nations baking at increased
military expenditures that their
security will cost a lot Of money
and they must pay their share.
He made a blunt and sometimes
angry speech to the 12-nation
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion committee Of planners, which
has drafted a blueprint for bigger
arms budgets among some men,
bers to build up European de-
lenses.
His appearance dramatically
underscored the problem that
arose when some nations began
rebelling against boosting their
military spending in the fear that
1t would upset civilian affairs at
home.
The problem, some observers
feel, is as worrisome as Gen. Eli
senhower's other major problem
that of getting West German
soldiers into uniform.
40 Divisions Sought.
The supreme Allied commander
told the NATO delegates they
would have to rush through the
buildup of a force sufficient to
deter Russia, and only then "can
we start thinking about tightening
the defense burden"
by carrying on, we can reach
a point where 1t would be foolish
for an enemy to attack" he
promised.
Gen. Eisenhower is reported
aiming for a force of some 40 di-
visions In complete readiness by
the end Of 1852; so or more by
1854.
The NATo committee report is
described as a "f1xm, precise plan
for 1852. and a projection for
1858 and 1854 which will be re-
viewed annually to meet changing
conditions, developments of new
weapons and other factors"
Begilum Is Indignant
To get 40 divisions by the end
of 1852, the committee is reported
asking eight of the IL NATO ma
tions to do better than they are
doin gnow.
BELGIUM, for example, is said to
be asked to spend at least so per

from razor blades to nylons, the
latter selection being what one

to the Naval Medical Center, where
she was the Gray Lady captain OF

uniform she sat behind her desk
in the Gray Lady Office in the hos

chores, then plunged into a varied
work day.

hospital" said a voice over the
phone. Can you find them tenn

$50 am. fresh garden flowers
given to the patients in the hos

the wards. A half hour later she
was selecting phonograph records
for q musical quiz party to be
given. on one of the wards. Then
more families to be housed. After
finishing this, some patients sent
down gift packages for her to wrap
for mailing to the home folks.
Then Is minutes later she was
hunting up baseball information
for two patients. telling another
where a ward movie was in prog
ress, and informing nurse how
to go about getting a radio for a
bed patient. All day it was like
this, with only a half hour of for

but happy.

HAVANA, Cuba, July 19.-The

yesterday for a duel between ex-
President Ramon Grau San Martin
and Senator Pelayo Cuervo Ma

turn that could pit two good
friends against each other in
duel with Sabers.
1t all came about this way:
Senator Cuervo sent word he is
willing to meet DR.. Grau, but only
after court decides a pending
case In which DR.. Grau and Others
are accused of misappropriating
STA million.
DR.. Grau's seconds took this as
a refusal and said under the duel
ing code they have to name then
own seconds to challenge Senator
Cuervo to a duel. DR.. Grau'S Sec
onds, Senator Santiago Rey and
Representative Manuel Benitez
are close friends of Senator Cuervo
Senator Cuervo said he would
designate today his seconds to re-
ceive the new challenges. It Is
expected he will be asked to fight
either Senator Rey or Mr.. Benitez
or maybe both.
The Senator's viewpoint in the
Grau duel is, he said, that he is 9
