US Brass Chiefs Visit Paris Signal European Defence Progress
In Paris three top US military leaders Gen J Lawton Collins Gen Omar Bradley and Gen Hoyt Vandenberg arrived to stress Western defense under the Atlantic Pact amid Korea and MacArthur debates.

Norstad reported Umbrella, Europe’s largest postwar air exercise, showed strong multinational cooperation with no morale issues, though technical challenges remain.
