Europe to raise international army under Atlantic Pact
The Atlantic Pact nations, led by Ike Eisenhower, accept a European defense chief role and plan a future international army of about 55 to 60 divisions totaling roughly a million troops in Europe, with 150,000 Germans in 250 combat teams. German rearmament debates threaten bloc unity as allied aims hinge on a capable defense against Russia. The pact allows Germany to revive an air force, a major concession that could shift the balance while ensuring it fights for the West.

Optimists expect final approval this week as Congress moves toward enacting an excess profits tax aimed at corporations linked to defense spending. The measure would raise the corporate surtax from 20 to 23 percent, retroactive to last July for most, with exemptions and credits softened to reduce revenue projections. House and Senate leaders indicate a Christmas recess remains possible once the bill clears the Saturday deadline.
