Atlantic Pact moves toward signing by President Truman
The North Atlantic treaty cleared Congress and awaits Truman's signature with an arms program of 1.45 billion dollars over a year. It binds the United States to 10 European powers and Canada for 20 years and bars atom bombs for Europe. Critics fear an arms race while supporters cite stronger security and morale for allies. The House foreign affairs committee may stall the plan.
