A communique issued at the
close Of the NATO meeting
Thursday referred to the mat
ter in the most general terms:
THE Council examined the
military situation. 1t took
cognizance of the fact that
Soviet military strength con-
tinues to grow. Current NATO
defense plans therefore remain
valid"
This was a reference to the
NATO master military plan
which recommends that by
1868 the alliance should have
80 fully equipped ground divi-
sions in Western Europe. all
with nuclear capability. 1t also
calls for heavy stockpiling OF
missiles capable of firing nu-
clear warheads into the Soviet
Union.
The aim of the plan-called
MC70-is to provide the West
forces "equating those of the
Soviet Union" When the West
speaks of equal forces, it means
military power able to defeat
the Russians in Europe.
MC70, however, is far from
being fulfilled.

the allied concessions at
Geneva went too far and
should be withdrawn. And in
the search for broader" issues
to discuss with the Russians,
the problem of disarmament
has been an obvious subSti-
tute.
In addition to these newt
able items on the summit
agenda, the French have been
pushing hard for two pet prof.
ects of their own: Non-inter-
ference in the internal affairs
of other countries and aid to
underdeveloped countries.
On the first item there has
been some confusion about
what Gen. de Gaulle had in
mind. 1t now seems that he
hopes to explore the possibility
of an East-West agreement
covering the uncommitted areas
of the world with an eye to re-
ducing rivalries in these areas,
especially when it comes to the
matter of arms aid.
If so, there might be some
willingness on the part of the
allies to go along with him.
But on both these items there
is some feeling, especially
among the British, that a good
deal more careful thought is
needed on the Western side be-
fore any specific proposals are
made to the Russians.

NATO measure with President

Adenauer Hit
ByKhrushcheV
On Arms Issue

MOSCOW, Dec. 10 (AP).-
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev
lashed out today with a bitter
attack on West German Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer.
1t was contained in note
dated october IS, replying to an
Adenauer communication of
AUGUST 81, but just released.
The latest note was made
public at a news conference in
the Soviet Foreign Ministry as
Mr.. Adenauer was meeting in
Paris with President Eisenhow-
er, President de Gaulle and
British Prime Minister Macmil-
Ian.
The criticism was released to-
day apparently to coincide with
the Paris meeting.
Hits Rocket Bases
In his letter, Mr.. Khrushchev
said it was hard to reconcile
talk of peace with the action
of West Germany in accepting
rocket armament for its forces
and making the territory of
the West German Republic
available for foreign rocket
bases.
Suspicion naturally sur
rounds people who pour gaso-
line on a house while claiming
they are doing so in the inter-
ests of fire prevention" Mr.,
KhruShchev wrote.
IF Germany really favors
disarm a m n t." the Soviet
premier said in his letter, then
now would be a good time to
throw its influence into the
scales on the side of the forces
seeking a solution of this great
task of disarmament"
He said it was quite true
that a solution of the problem
did not altogether depend upon
Germany, but he said it should
not be denied that "renuncia-
ton of atomic arms by the Ger
man Federal Republic would be
one Of the best proofs of the
peaceful aspiration of the West
German Republic"
| Denies Red Charges
Mr.. Adenauer's reply to a
letter from Mr.. Khrushchev on
August l8, which boasted Rus
sia was more powerful than the
United States, disputed Mr.,
KhruShchev'S charges that
Bonn was revanchist-meanin2
that it wanted to win back
what Germany lost in World
War II.
The August letter. written
after Mr.. Adenauer's talks with
President Eisenhower in Bonn
asked Mr.. Khrushchev to re-
sumo negotiations with the
West on controlled disarm-
ament in both the nuclear and
convention weapons fields.
1t supported reports that he
and Mr.. Eisenhower wished to
find a detour around problems
such as Berlin and German
reunification by seeking in dis
armament the progress Mr.
Eisenhower insists on before he
goes to a summit meeting.
