SATURDAY. OCTOBER 2, 1954 France Vetoes German Alliance LONDON, Oct. 1 (TP) —With a surprise veto tonight France blocked a compromise plan to free and rearm West Germany within the Western defense alliance. The action plunged the nine-power conference on Western European-unity into an unexpected crisis. A British Foreign Office spokesman immediately warned that the Churchill govern ment will withdraw its 48-hour-old offer to maintain troops on the European continent if the conference breaks down. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles has already warned the United States might have to with draw its troops from Europe un less the talks succeed. He made no move to change his plans for going home tomorow night, and an 'American source- expressed confidence the new snags would be overcome. Reports circulating late tonight said the French had put out the word that they would not let the conference fail. Diplomats worked in private through the night on possible solutions. Development Serious A highly placed conference source said that’ although' the new development was serious, the con ference “cannot be written off at this point.” He said calm counsel may prevail overnight. After the conference had been reported moving rapidly, toward success, France suddenly rejected a compromise plan to bring West Germany within. the North At lantic Treaty Organization and an enlarged seven-nation Brussels conference alliance. Yesterday, French Premier Pi erre Mendes-France was reported to have accepted the compromise r —advanced, by Belgian Foreign Minister Paul-Henri Spaa k—to give.. NATO . and -the . enlarged Brussels 'grouping joint controls aimed at preventing any runaway German rearmament. Plan Weak bn Arms. Today, Mendes-France told the conference the Spaak plan did not/ go far enough in rigidly control ling every aspect of the manufac ture and distribution of arms. . Instead he demanded fuller .consideration of his own program, which called for controls to rest mainly in the hands of a new Eu ropean Armaments Authority. The session seethed with ex citement and conference officials reported “harsh words were ex changed” on the merits and de merits of the rival-proposals. Per sonal exchanges apparently were] avoided.

PENNSYLVANIA Allies Study Russian Atom Plan UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Oct. 1 (JP) —Western, delegates checked Moscow’s new atomic plan close ly today for information on sev eral important and puzzling points. They were left wondering how far the Russians are. prepared to go. These delegates and some neu tral sources here said privately that Soviet Delegate Andrei Y. Vishinsky apparently took an af firmative step yesterday in put ting his atomic proposals , before the UN Assembly. But they said he ruined the effect. by voicing the usual. Soviet assault on the United States and others and by accusing Nationalist China of pir acy in Formosa.
