PARIS (CP)—The Atlantic Al- liance moved resolutely and with surprising harmony into a new military age Wednesday.

Despite all past doubts and wavcrings. a g r e e m ent was reached to set up medium range missile bases in countries that want them and to create a stock- pile of nuclear warheads.

Methods of control will be de- cided in bilateral negotiations be- tween the United States. which supplies the weapons. and coun- tries in Europe and Scandinavia which accept them.

This is regarded as the major decision of the NATO summit con- ference. Decisions will be em iedvin the final communique to be published when the meetings end today.

Agreement on nuclear wapons for the NATO area was an "aw- ful gulp" for some member coun- tries to swallow. a conference source said. He was referring to misgivings openly voiced by some member nations in the opening sessions this week.

These worries found expression in repeated calls for one more effort to find out what Russia really wants and to seek wa s of breaking the deadlock of dis- armament.

Within a few weeks the for- eign ministers of Britain. the United States and Canada—mem- her of the defunct Big Five dis- armament subcommittee — w‘

If successful the West might then consider the possibility of a summit conference between the East and West.

Agreement Reached To Set Up Missile Weapons Bases

1959.

The United States already has (concluded an agreement in prin- ci ' Britain to set rocket bases and supply Britain with Thor and Jupiter interme diate range missiles by the end of 1958. This agreement will serve as a model for future bi- lateral agreements. according is American officials.

AMERICANS PLEASED

The agreement on missiles was received with obvious satisfac- 'on in American official quar- ters. There had been fears st tbs start of the conference that the

- refusal of Norway and Denmark

to accept atomic or missile weapons might upset the Amer- ican program.

But Norway and Denmark went along with the unanimous decision that missile bases must be established in Western Eu- rope. The resolution approving the bases declares that the deci- sion was necessary in view of the fact that Soviet forces already are armed with rocket and atomic weapons.

Stockpiling will be under the control of SACEUR—Supreme Al- lied Command. Europe. Atomic warheads would be used only af- ter SACEUR had obtained the consent of each of the countries directly involved.
