French Senate Defeats Communist Move on Paris Treaties
In Paris the Senate rejected a Communist bid to halt the final vote on the Paris treaties freeing and rearming West Germany. The motion drew about 13 Communists, 5 Socialists, and a small number of right benchers. Only around 20 of 320 senators voted aye. If passed, it would have rejected the treaties and urged new big power talks with Russia on Germany. The debate entered its fourth day as ratification loomed toward France joining 10 of 15 signatories.
