West attacks spur united Atlantic pact rearmament drive
London July 28 CP The United States and 11 Atlantic pact allies met in secret to cut a four year rearmament schedule to two years amid Korean war pressure. Delegates formed a civilian high command and ministers urged tangible results by fall. Britain prepared for expanded defense plans and debated sending aid to Korea while discussing a token land force for psychological impact. European production fears linger, but US allies seek expanded output with possible $4.0 billion aid and a central western army of about 20 divisions to be based in Europe.
