NATO Chiefs
Work to Hike
Pact's Power
PARIS. Dec. 11 irv-North At
lantic Alliance leaders agreed ten
tatively today to strengthen the
treaty organization with wider po
litical and economic powers.
But Secretary of State Dulles
served notice that the United
States reserves full freedom of
action in defense of its vital inter
ests without consulting its NATO
allies in advance.
A spokesman for the conference
of NATO foreign ministers aaid
they endorsed the outlines of rec
ommendations by Halvsrd Lange
of Norway, Gaetano Martino of
Italy and Lester B. Pearson of
Canada, members of a committee
who have been studying political
and economic possibilities for
NATO.
But, the spokesman said, action
on their recommendations was de
layed by- French Foreign Minister
Christian Pineau and West Ger
many's Heinrich von Brrntano.
who said they wanted to submit
amendments.
A high NATO source said Dulles
told the 14 other foreign ministers
of NATO member countries it
would be unfair to the 30 other
nations with which the United
States has mutual defense pacts if
Washington could not act ia other
parts of the world without con
sulting NATO.
The report by Lange, Martino
and Pearson called NATO's
"Three Wise- Men".- recom
mended that "before any new
policy is adopted which might af
fect NATO, or a political pro
nouncement is msde, there should
be consultations."
Dulles, the source said, told the
closed ministerial meeting he ap
proved of this principle and hoped
it would be adopted. But, if taken
literally, Dulles : continued, this
and another sentence stating
"there cannot be unity ia defense
and disunity in foreign policy"
both go too fsr.
