Some officials fear certain NATO partners may try to re duce military draft periods for their young men or cut their defense spending. . Either move could hurt the effectiveness of the NATO pact, the West's bul wark against the threat of Sov iet aggression. The difference between U. S. and some other NATO allies' estimates of new Russian peace tactics was emphasized at last week's NATO council meeting in Paris. Dulles Tc Report. Secretary of State John Fost er Dulles, who returned from the meeting yesterday, reports on the session tonight at about. 5:30 p.m. (PST) in a nationwide radio address. Dulles is expected to tell his audience about American-sponsored plans to create within the NATO framework at a high lev el council to assure Western un ity in the cold war. The council would deal with any problems which tends to disturb unity of the Atlantic allies. Nothing Hat Happened At present, Dulles apparently does not feel the difference in the U. S. attitude and that of some of its allies toward the new Russian tactics is serious enough to disturb. NATO unity. He said on arrival from Paris that the 15 NATO foreign min isters agreed "nothing has hap pened" in relations with Russia that "has led us to believe that we car safely drop our guard." But it was learned that some of our allies believe the danger from Russia has decreased more than Dulles thinks it hs. Some of the allies, including France, want to put more faith than the United States thinks wise in re cent Russian "peace" statements and internal changes. French Troops Blast Algerian Guerrillas .
