Mr.. Stevenson asked either a

mier Pierre Mendes-France was
concluding his two-day visit
here today and preparing to

getic Premier carried with him

plan to set up a seven-nation
agency to control arms output

jected Western European Union.
The two nations also announced
accords on several economic
questions, involving trade, in
dustrial cooperation and inn
migration.
Despite the promise Of partial
support, Mr.. Mendes-France re-
portedly was disappointed in the
reception given the arms pool
plan by Italian leaders. Sources
indicated he had hoped for more
enthusiastic backing. which
might aid him in getting an okay
from q less receptive West Ger
many.
The plan, designed to prevent
West Germany from overarming
within the WEU, comes UP Mon
day before a meeting in Paris
