OCTOBER 22. 1954 Nine Nations Form Western European Union 1948 Alliance Reshaped To Include West Germany PARIS, Oct. 21 (/P)—Nine anti-Communist allies of the Western world reached a historic agreement tonight on for mation of the Western European Union. It will include the arms and men of an all but fully sovereign West Germany. Foreign ministers of the 1 nine nations virtually completed hcluding. the forging of tight controls over Germany’s military potential for the rest of this cen tury. Details were being ham mered out so that each govern ment may soon ask for ratifica tion by their parliaments of treat ies that will link West Germany to the North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization. Agreement to bring the Bonn republic into the proposed seven ' nation Western European Union | —adding West Germany and Italy to the already organized Benelux organization followed quickly after the American, British, French and West German minis ters agreed on terms to end the nearly 10-year occupation of Ger many and restore, with a few ex ceptions, complete sovereignty to that part of the divided nation. That agreement was reached by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, British Foreign Secretary Sir Anthony Eden, French Pre mier Pierre Mendes-France and West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. France—thrice invaded by Ger many and two of those times in this century—won the approval of her partners for a far-reaching pattern of control which will bar the Germans from raising un limited forces or making atomic weapons without French :onsent until 1998. , The other members of the Western European Union—better known as the Brussels Alliance of 1948—. are Britain, France, Bel gium, Holland, and Luxembourg. The Brussels Alliance has been reshaped to replace the defunct European Defense Community. Britain's involvement makes it stronger than EDC, since the Churchill government has prom ised to, keep, four divisions and a tactical air force on the Euro pean continent for the remaining 44 years of the 50-year pact. the agreements here today, Ten Tentative Sheppard Trial Jurors Seated CLEVELAND, Oct. 21 (JP)— Ten jurors were tentatively seated to day in the first degree murder trial of Dr. Samuel Sheppard. A full and final panel was conceiv able by' nightfall Friday. Three more housewives were added—including a lady who finds it hard to change her mind. There now are six women and four men, with two vancancies to fill. Then a weeding out process occurs and a final panel is sworn in. The last woman seated was Mrs. Grace L. Prinz, mother of four and wife of a meat packing foreman. Sheppard is accused of beating his pregnant wife, Marilyn, 31, to death July 4.in the bedroom of their lakefront home. In pleading innocent, he claimed a bushy haired man invaded the house, killed his wife and knocked' him unconscious. The state has no known wit nesses to the slaying. 'But it has built up a circumstantial case. It has placed Sheppard on the scene. And it has offered as a possible motive his purported love affair with 24-year-old Susan Hayes, a pretty technician who once worked in the same hospital with him. The state also has hammered day in and day out on capital punishment, satisfying itself that no prospective juror is opposed to it. Defense attorney William J. Corrigan brought out at one point in his questioning that first de gree murder—and the death' pen alty—is not the only choice facing the jury. He pointed out that second de gree murder, manslaughter or as sault charges are possible alter natives.

PENNSYLVANIA Ike Supports NewYorkGOP In City Tour NEW YORK, Oct. 21 ident Dwight D. Eisenhower made a surprise 40-m i 1 e automobile campaign tour of New York City today in behalf of the hard-press ed Republican state ticket head ed by Sen. Irving M. Ives, candi date for governor. Eisenhower stepped dramatical ly into the contest in the face of newspaper polls showing Ives trailing Averell Harriman, his Democratic-Liberal opponent. The President first addressed campaign workers in GOP head quarters and cautioned them not to lose heart. He termed the elec tion outcome “tremendously im portant.” Then he took off on a suddenly scheduled motor tour with Ives at his side. Seated in the automobile with them was Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, who is retiring from of fice. The unheralded caravan toured populous Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx, stopping at hous ing and hospital projects, where the President chatted informally with workers and bystanders. With hardly anyone knowing in advance that the President was to 'tour the city, crowds were sparse at first but became larger as the word spread. When he returned from the 3%- hour tour to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, about 2000 persons were waiting outside. Eisenhower addressed the cam paign staff r informally after pos ing. for pictures with Ives in front of an “Ives for Governor” poster. “I am here, I think, possibly more because I am a voter in the state of New York than I am a tempor ary resident in Washington,” he said. , “Here in this state you have a senator who has been tremen dously helpful in carrying us for ward in Washington. He is now turning and accepting the duty of leading the job in the state, and it is tremendously important.” over the strike scene for the past week “seems to have receded a little,” a government official said. One official said an “undefined but brighter atmosphere” was noted at the inquiry hearing. He pointed out the inquiry board set up to look into causes of the strike was not in itself a conciliation body, but there was nothing to prevent the board from noting the views of both sides. Overtime Work The walkout developed over a demand by dockers for the fight to reject overtime work. It has the enthusiastic support of Brit ain’s Communists. Only some 11,000 strikers— members of the independent Na tional Amalgamated Stevedores and Dockers Union—have backing of their union leaders. Motor Tour 2000 Persons Increased U.S. Aid To Bolster Pakistan WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (£>)—'The United States agreed today to step up sharply its aid to Pakistan, to a total of about 155 mil lion dollars this fiscal year. The aim is to bolster the economy of a key partner in the defense system against communism. Of the total, 105 million would go for economic assistance, as compared with 20 million in the fiscal year ended last June. It was reported that military aid would total about 50 million, a 100 per cent increase over the fig ure previously planned for the current year. Prime Minister Prime Minister Mohammed Ali, hastening home because of reports of political unrest in his capital, expressed satisfaction with his discussions with administration leaders, calling the talks “very profitable.” He appeared confident that any domestic trouble confronting him in Pakistan could be handled wtihout difficulty. A joint communique issued on his departure said there has been “earnest efforts within the U.S. government to determine meas ures which- the United States might take to strengthen Pakistan, bearing in mind Pakistan's spe cial position.” Defense Treaty Pakistan is a partner in the newly formed Southeast Asia col lective defense treaty. It also has a military treaty with Turkey, thus serving to bridge the anti communist defense line between Europe and the Far East. Without mentioning figures, the communique said military aid to Pakistan would start to flow at a quicker pace. U.S. officials said both the State and Defense de partments had agreed that deliv eries of supplies should flow as fast as possible, with the first shipment scheduled October ?,5. Officials declined to say if the aid would include tanks and jet fighters, but they did say that Pakistan would get modern weap ons for land, sea and air. Condemned Slayer Declared Sane WARREN, Pa., Oct. 21 (/P)— Norman W. Moon, condemned to death for slaying Judge Allison D. Wade in court last Jan. 13, was ruled legally sane today by President Judge Alexander C. Flick Jr. of Warren County. The court’s ruling means that the defense attorneys may now go ahead with their motion to get a new trail for Moon. It also means that if the new trial motion is turned down the court may set a date for Moon’s execution. Moon then would be able to appeal to the higher courts.

Against the background of a resolution adopted on opening day exactly a month ago—to shelve the Red China issue—the Assem bly took a separate vote on Na tionalist China’s credentials. Only 10 countries voted against accept ing them. Thirty five voted in fa vor and three abstained. The five countries of the Soviet bloc, plus India, Indonesia, Bur ma, Sweden and Yugoslavia were the 10 that voted against Nation alist China. India’s V. K.
