Modern Weapons May Be Offered in Europe Defense Plan
WASHINGTON June 23 AP Administration forces pressed for senate approval of a program to place modern nonatomic weapons along western Europe's defense frontier. Senator Connally steers a 1.2225 billion foreign arms bill into its second year amid Republican opposition. Key disputes cover authority to transfer arms to any European nation, selling arms on credit, and using European recovery funds for military purposes. Committees say new weapons enable defense without matching invader divisions, and warn a perceived weakness would invite Soviet aggression. Final vote expected early next week as Europe strategy moves forward.
