NO DECISION ON N.A.T.O. COUNCIL
(N.Z.P.A. Reuter—Copyright)
BRUSSELS, June 7.
France’s 14 N.A.T.O. partners yesterday shelved until October a decision about whether the alliance’s top political body—the N.A.T.O. Council—should be pulled out of Paris.
France is willing to have the N.A.T.O. council remain in Paris, but wants military commands removed from French soil. It took the Ministers only 30 minutes to agree that:
1. S.H.A.P.E. should be transferred from outside Paris to the Benelux area, probably near Brussels. 2. Land and air commands for Central Europe, now at Fontainebleau, near Paris, should be merged with the headquarters of allied forces, Central Europe, also at Fontainebleau, and transferred to the Benelux region or West Germany. 3. The N.A.T.O. staff college now in Paris should go to Italy, probably Rome.
4. The three-Power standing military group of the United States, Britain and France now in Washington should be abolished. It may be replaced by an international integrated military staff.
Franco-German talks on the stationing of French troops in Germany will be held in Bonn on June 13.
