DeodIine Reported
Set as West Germuns
Coll for Sovereignty
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Sept. diplomatic
officials said today the United
States and Britain have set a
secret deadline for starting West
German rearmament. The dead
line was not disclosed, but is
understood to be around mid
1866.
France and West Germany will
be informed of this development
in the next few days along with
another British American agree
ment for restoring sovereignty
to Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's
Bonn government. the officials
added.
They spoke as Prime Minister
Churchill's cabinet met in emer-
gency session to consider the
consequences of the French re-
lection of the European Defense
Community (EDC) project, de-
vised as a means of using Ger
man troops in the defense of
Western Europe under strict in
ternational safeguards.
Germans Calls for Sovereignty.
The West German cabinet met
in Bonn and issued a commune
que afterward calling on the
western powers to restore SOW
ereignty to West Germany at
once. Mr.. Adenauer's government
pledged it's continued support to
European unity despite French
rejection of EDO and urged quick
new negotiations on what it
called the military integration"
of Europe.
The communique indicated
the Bonn government will re-
ject the Allied-West German
peace contract which was de-
vised to grant limited sover-
eighty to the Germans.
It said: Legal regulations for
the stationing of the troops of
other nations in the (West Ger
mani Federal Republic should
be concluded"
Three Points Set Out.
The United States and Brit
ain, said the diplomatic inform
ants here, intend warning
France they will consider rearm-
ing the Germans on their own
unless France formally and f.
nally accepts:
/. That a German defense con-
tribution to the West is essen
tial.
2. That it must be launched
within a. fixed period-probabl
by mid-1955 at the latest.
3. That the shape and size, Of
the German contribution, and
the safeguards accompanying it,
must be the subject of quick in
ternational negotiations pre-
sumably by the foreign ministers
of the IA Atlantic Pact partners.
Officials said it is the British
American belief that such an
agreement, with its statement of
fixed intention, will pin down
France to join the search for a
quick alternative to EDO.
