Senate to Vote
Tliursda v on
Atlantic Pact
WASHINGTON, July 15
The senate will vote at 4 p.m.
(EST) next Thursday on ratifying
the North Atlantic security treaty.
Opponents blocked efforts to
obtain a unanimous agreement to
vote earlier. They apparently hop
ed to enlarge their core of re
sistance to the 12-nation alliance.
The pact is designed to con
front Russia with a pledge that
the United States, Canada, Brit
ain and nine western European
nations will take measures to re
sist an attack on any one of them.
A two-thirds majority of those
senators voting is required to
commit this nation to the treaty,
and proponents claim enough
votes to ratify it with ease.
