French Crisis Delays Europe Army PARIS (flVPoUtical squabbling ever French domestic affairs threatens a new delay on the much-postponed project for get ting West Germans into uniform for Western defense. The French Communists take a lot of satisfaction in this. They say they're protecting France against the German mili tary giant who invaded her three times in 80 years. The possibility of a Russian invasion doesn't worry Communists at alL Jacques Duclos, the pastry cook who became the Red leader in parliament, rubbed his hands in satisfaction when Premier Rene Pleven's cabinet was ousted Mon day night. Holds Up Army "I'm glad the cabinet is out be cause that holds up the German army," he said in an unusual chat with reporters. "You mean the European army?" he was asked- "Oh, it comes to the same thing," be replied. The United European Army ap pears the only plan, under which the French parliament would ap prove arming Germans. Many Frenchmen have a real fear of an independent German army. The European defense community, as the new plan is officially called, is designed to calm that fear by putting all German troops under a supranational authority. Most French, Italian, Belgian, Dutch and Luxembourg troops would also join the pool. The Army so formed would be one of those under command of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhwer's Supreme Head quarters. French Plan Pleven proposed this idea after France found herself alone among the North Atlantic Allies in op position to organizing German di visions under German command. The complete plan was to have been ready for approval by the Atlantic Council meetings in Rome last month. It wasn't- Until Pleven or someone else succeeds in forming a new cab inet, France has only a caretaker government Foreign Minister Robert Schuman Is only a care taker too.
