France presses U.S. on NATO talks amid neutrality debate

They warned that few concrete proposals leave allies unclear on U.S. aims for arms and equipment manufacturing coordination while neutrality talk grows across NATO. Premier Gaillard linked NATO unity to policy coordination beyond the treaty, warning against Europe drifting toward neutrality and weakening the free world.

SAC Wills Probably Get Big Bite in Defense Budget
Washington December 7 The Strategic Air Force may receive a substantial portion of a proposed two billion dollar defense spending increase. SAC defense advocates expect more missiles and long range bombers though Sen Robertson cautions the total may fall short. Senate subcommittees stress SAC as deterrent power until missiles reach parity with the Soviet program. Humphrey argues for continued manned aircraft as primary retaliation while missiles develop.
