U S Will Aid Pact Nations With Nonatomic Arms Aid
Washington reports no U S atomic bombs will be sent or stored overseas for the North Atlantic pact. The plan calls for 1 to 2 billion dollars in nonatomic munitions in the first year, mainly artillery tanks and anti tank guns, with England and France supplying planes. The U S will not boost overseas troop levels or arm bombers, and Congress faces deciding the aid amount within limits of the economy. The military build up includes 127000 army troops in Europe and allied forces abroad with carrier task forces in the Mediterranean and B 29 training groups in England.
