Southern Democrats Lose On Plan To Amend Draft
Secretary of State Marshall announced the United States accepted the London conference proposals for Western Germany as a major step toward solving German problems. The plan provides for a federal government with limited home rule, pledges not to withdraw occupying forces without mutual agreement, and to prevent rearmament. Marshall said the London program should weather experience and aid recovery and stability, though some lawmakers question congressional approval. The agreements, finalized ten days earlier, were released in London and Washington. Britain approved, France did not.
