Errand boys in the Penatgon

ing the pay of majors, says Rep

Virginia.
In his weekly news letter, the
Virginia Congressman said a
Senate subcommittee found in a
survey that 3 per cent of civilian
jobs in the Defense Department
were filled by military personnel
in high-pay ranks.
A way to save lot Of money
Mr.. Pof said, would be by trans

military executives from the Pen
tagon to the military field where
they belong in the first place."

RomeSession0 n0pened
By Foreign Chiefs Of
Is European Nations
By the Assoeioted Press

ROME. Feb. 24.-The foreign
ministers of six West European
nations met here today in try
at welding the tighter economic,
political and military union for
which the United States is press
ing. ...
The conference chamber doors
in Rome's Villa Aldobrandini
were closed in mid-morning,
soon after the foreign policy
chiefs and their aides from
France. West Germany, Italy.
Belgium, Luxembourg and the
Netherlands took their places for
the two days OF talk.
A priority item was a list of
amendments France wants to
make in the proposed European
army plan-amendments which
Konrad Adenauer, West German
Chancellor and Foreign Minis
ter, has said he will fight to the
last ditch.
Dutch Urge Tariff Union.
Also up for discussion was a
Dutch proposal for tariff union
to create a common market
among the six powers within
about five years. They already
are pledged to common goal
and steel market by the Schu-
man plan which recently went
in operation.
Italy's Communist press
launched a bitter attack against
the meeting.
The dispute over the French
posed changes in the European
Defense Community treaty CEN
tered on Frances demand that
she be allowed to withdraw
troops from the planned single
uniform, 2-million-man West
European army in case her
overseas possessions are threat
ened.
4 MI. Adenauer fears this would
let France shift her troops at
will, leaving the main burden
of European defense to Ger
many.
Compromise Sought.
/ The other four nations are
afraid the dispute will put EDO
on the rocks before it ever starts
to work. Alcide de Gasperi,
Italy'S Premier and Foreign Min
lister, repeatedly was trying to
I strike a compromise.
! Mr.. de GaSperio met privately
last night with French Foreign
Minister Georges Bidault and
was closeted just before today's
session with Mr.. Adenauer.
A French defense ministry
! spokesman last night said that
the protocols to amend the
army treaty "have been very
much exaggerated" He in
dicated they did not revise or
alter basically the pact, which
all six nations have signed, but
which still awaits ratification by
all six parliaments.
