Dinners both nights were un-

wore his blue jeans. Mr.. john
son was a quiet. cordial host

garrulous Scotty.
Mr.. johnson died six years

was Scotty'S benefactor or

Scotty with cash. why could
Scotty still flash his big roll

U. 5. Likely 10 Await
French Action Before
Vote on London Pact
BY the Associated Press

The Eisenhower Administra-
ton probably will wait until
after the French Assembly has
acted before it asks the Senate
to approve agreements making
Germany partner in the At
lantic alliance.
That would mean that the
package deal worked out in Lon
don last week would not be pre-
sented until the new session of
Congress beginning in January.
Chairman Wiley of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
predicted yesterday that the
agreements, insofar as they re-
quire United States action, would
be approved at special Senate
session next month If they were
submitted by that time.
Wait-and-See Feeling.
However, there is a strong
feeling among State Department
officials that the United States
should not take the lead in CIV
ing final approval to the London
plan. as it did in 1852 in con-
f1rming the European Defense
Community program.
The French assembly stalled
on that until last month, when
it finally killed off EDO. The
sentiment here now is to wait
and see what action the French
assembly takes on the new pro-
gram.
Moreover, the agreements still

Arbenz regime. Pellicer already
had elected to remain only
briefly in Argentina before 60

detention, therefore, would only
be temporary.
Face Problem.
Some others might present a
problem. Under the traditional
Latin American right Of asylum

offenses, Argentina might hesi-

Secretary of State Dulles re-
turned from the London meeting
Monday. He was scheduled to
preside over a session Of the

plishments of the conference.

Admission to NATO.
The only provision of the
London agreements which off,
Gals are sure will require Senate
action is the admission of West
Germany as the 18th member of
NATO. That probably will take
the form Of q protocol, or
amendment to the treaty. which
requires Senate ratification.
Other parts of the plan call
for including West Germany in

treaty known as the Brussels pact.

for tightening the NATO mill
tary structure in order to con-
troll German rearmament, and
for giving fresh assurances about
the longtime presence Of Amer
ican troops in Europe.
The United States Is not a
member of the Brussels organi-
zation, and no action by this
country is required on that.

may choose, in asking ratiflca-

NATO. to submit the whole
