Draft Is Voted
BY Bundestag
Over Protests

BONN, Germany, July 7 (R.-
West Germany's lower house ap-
proved CONSUMPTION for the coun-
try's new army today over bitter
protests by Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer's Socialist opponents.
The controversial draft law
now goes to the upper house
where solid government major
ity assures final approval.
The draft law will make IL
million German men between the
ages of 10 and IS subject to COM
pulsory military service. The
Bundestag, the lower house,
passed it by a vote of 270-166
on third and final reading. The
vote in the upper house. the
Bundesrat, is scheduled for next
Friday.
Sixteen hours of stormy debate
preceded the Bundestag vote.
Mr.. Adenauer, usually heard in
respectful silence by the law
makers, was interrupted by jeers
and laughter when he urged
draft as the only means of build
ing the 500,000-man army he has
pledged to North Atlantic alliance
defenses.
Draft Called Unnecessary
Opponents of the draft argued
large armies are unnecessary in
an age of streamlined armed
forces and nuclear weapons.
In the showdown ballot, the
three parties of Mr.. Adenauer's
coalition government voted SOL
idly for the law and Socialists
and Refugee Party members
against it. There were 20 alb
stentions.
The BundeStag opponents of
the draft had considerable pub
lie support. Thousands of West
Germans who remember the
losses and destruction of World
War II have expressed opposi-
ton to creation of new armed
forces. fearing rebirth of Ger
man militarism.
But the Chancellor insisted the
new forces are necessary to help
protect the West against possible
Communist aggression. He de-
clared the cold war has not end
ed and Europe is threatened by
Communist enlightenment through
the Middle East and the Medi-
terranean.
I'VE will not lead any crusade
against the Soviet Union" he
told the Bundestag. I'VE want
to preserve the freedom of our
country"
German Attack Feared
A leftist argument against
German rearmament has been
the danger that West Germany
with or without the approval of
its allies-might launch an at
tack against the Communist
powers to regain East Germany
from the Reds.
The Chancellor warned:
You know the Soviet policy
You know it always changes its
field Of activity in order to create
confusion an dto quiet things
down at other spots. The whole
is a well-planned Soviet STRAIT
egy."
1 He cited the Poznan uprising
in Poland and its repression as
evidence that basic Communist
practice has not changed de-
spite the anti-Stalin campaign
and assertions of "liberalized"
Red administration.
The opposition countered with
claims that Mr.. Adenauer is
blind to international political
developments and is behind the
times in military strategy.
Although youths of 18 may be
called up under the law, the
government plans to draft only
those who have reached the age
Of 10. The first $4,000 are to be
summoned Anri1
