Macmillan Wins Commons Backing on NATO Summit Bases
Prime Minister Macmillan secured House of Commons approval for NATO summit policies and the planting of U S nuclear missile bases in Britain. The vote, by 38, fell short of a strong Conservative majority and drew Labor calls to resign as a five hour debate criticized the American bases plan and bomber patrols. Britain, with U S agreement to build four bases perhaps in Scotland for 1500 mile range missiles, kept veto power over any trigger of a nuclear attack and signaled openness to talks with the Soviet Union if successful.
