Six Nations Divided
On How TO Pay for
New European Army
By the Associated Press

PARIS. Dec. 28.-Foreign ano
finance ministers of six West Eu-
ropean nations met today to try
to figure how to pay for the
planned 43-division continental
army.
West Germany'S Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer attended.
Two general views were expect
ed to be aired at the session in
the French Foreign Ministry.
/. A German proposal for a
single treasury to which all six
nations-France, Germany, Italy,
the Netherlands. Belgium and
Luxembourg-would contribute.
2. The Benelux idea for each
country to pay for its own soldiers
In its own currency.
Agree on Uniform.
The general situation after 10
months of debate boiled down to
whether a coalition or a fedora
ton would be the best way to pool
forces for single defense.
All have agreed that a single,
one-uniform army would be the
best means of getting Germans
back into military circulation
without nationalistic tendencies
and the most efficient way of lin
ing -. against Communist ag-
gresSion.
Five of the foreign ministers
and an Adenauer representative
met for five hours yesterday and
got no farther than a round of
oratory re stating previously
stated views.
Differ on Authority.
The two factions are split like
this:
France, Italy and West Ger
many want an international high
authority to run the army with
"Europeap defense minister" who
would recruit it and adopt a
common budget to pay for it. This
would be federation.
The Benelux countries-Belgium
the Netherlands and Luxembourg
want the army run by a council
OF ministers representing each
country. each retaining veto power
and each to recruit and equip
before joining the international
army. This would be coalition.
Gen. Eisenhower, the North
Atlantic military chief, is believed
to favor federation over coali-
ton.

of the principal candidate and al

of results from this examination.
The test will be condacted on Mon

This week the committee on
agriculture decided to sign the
much discussed oleo bill out favor
ably. Although they have not TAX
en- this action to date, it is felt
that they will do so by the middle
of the week. No doubt it will be
called up for a vote at that time.
AS stated before, 1 believe the bill
will pass with large majority as
a great amount of pressure for its
passage has been brought to bear
by the citizenry of Delaware. Many
new bills were introduced, ranging
from anti-gambling measures to
changes in election laws. Speaker
Lawson submitted a bill to reduce
the number of ballots printed for
general elections. At the present
time ballots for five times the num-
ber of voters are printed. A bill to
increase the monthly state benefits
to needy blind from $40 to $50 and
also denying benefits to those with
$1,000 income annually or who own
property assessed at $4,000 or more
was also introduced.
Rep. Quigley ID. New Castle) in
troduced a substitute bill which
would appropriate money for the
one-day celebration of the landing
of the Dutch at New Castle, which

is a reduction over the amount in
the original bill. The original bill
has to date received no action. 1
am still of the opinion that this
money could be used to a greater
advantage here in our state. The
appropriation committee is having
a very difficult time as it is in hold
ing down expenses since operating
costs in most departments has in
creaed Tremendously. A new bill to
appropriate 81, 900, 900 for improve

Another week has passed for the

without much real activity. The
two Houses did not meet on Mon

Senator Powell's mother. Wednes-
day ended the 30th legislative day
of the session, and on Thursday
new attaches were sworn in to re-
place those who served for the first

part of the session. In other words,
the majority side of the House or
iginally allotted each representa-
tive an equal number of attaches
TO serve during the session in order
to carry on the necessary duties,
such as clerical, messenger and
ianitor service, etc. Due to the
fact that the overall number to
serve was reduced over previous
sessions, it was necessary to split
the jobs in half in some cases al
lowing each person to serve a half
term. Of local interest, Mrs Mary
A. Kenworthy was sworn in as
Assistant Reading Clerk. DR.. John
L. Johnson continues to serve as
Chaplain.
It is expected that dead line
date for the introduction of new
bills will be set before too long.
