NUCLEAR ARMS
Deployment Discussed (N.Z.P. A.'-Reuter—Copyright) WASHINGTON. April 12 The N.A.T.O. allies were close to agreeing on a set of “guide lines” covering the use and deployment of American nuclear weapons in Europe, officials said yesterday. They were being drafted by the permanent North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Council in Paris, United Press International reported. They were designed to meet the desire of the European N.A.T.O. partners to have some measure of control over United States nuclear arms committed to the alliance, and to receive guarantees against their reduction through a unilateral United; States move.
United States officials said the drafting was making ‘ rapid progress.” They said there was a good chance that they would get final approval at the N.A.T.O. Foreign Ministers’ conference to be held in Athens on May 3-6.
The "Guide Lines.” once established, would not constitute a substitute for the still pending proposal to give N.A.T.O. an independent medium-range nuclear capability of its own.
