Britisih and American military experts are discussing the stand- ardization of small ahns. the Source said. but he emphaaificd that. no "all-embracing decision" hed been taken to standardize sll the mil- itary equipment of the two coun- tries.

The disclosure cum.- two months lifter authoritative military sources told the Asociated Press of the sums-standardization plan.

The Goverlnment informant did not rule out the possibility that on “all-embraclng" decision t0 standardize arms might be taken in the future. He said the two

countries’ military advisers were ‘P15411118 at the bottom and work- l-"G their wily upwards."
