Erhard Leaves with Compromise Arms Agreement
West German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard returns to Europe with a compromise arms deal reducing German purchases to 1.35 billion dollars. The plan splits 450 million by June 30 for U.S. arms, plus 214 million debt prepayments and 436 million in U.S. bonds, with 250 million later negotiated. Talks tied to NATO cost offsets and a June deadline, amid broader U.S.-German space collaboration hopes.
