Paris Accords Provide Ample Safety Control Two To Three Years Likely Necessary To Rearm Germany By RALPH STUART SMITH (Copyright, 1955, by 1.N.5.) PARIS (INS) — The chief of staff of the supreme headquarters of the Allied Powers in Europe dedared today that the Paris agreements provide ample safety for controlling a rearmed West Germany. v Gen. Cortlandt Van Rensselaer Schuyler and his top officers said the agreements ratified by the French senate Sunday make fears of a West German threat to the peace of Europe unjustified. They estimate it may take at least two or three years to bring a German army to combat readiness. There were the principal questions and answers: Q. Under the new “Western European Union" just what controls will there be over Germany? A. Gen. Schuyler said: “There are still considerable numbers of sincere, intelligent, freedom-loving individuals who fear that the participation of West Germany in our NATO defense system may constitute a potential threat to future peace. “At SHAPE, looking at this from a military point of view, we do not believe that those fears are justified. “Under the Paris agreements. SHAPE and all the member nations of NATO participate together in the development of plans for German forces. "These forces will not ever be

balanced in themselves so that they can alone constitute an effective war-making machine. “For example. Western Germany is to have no medium or longrange bombers; she will produce no atomic weapons; her navy will consist of a few very small-type vessels; her divisions and her air units would be integrated into higher allied commands, with headquarters "containing staff officers of a number of NATO notions. SHAPE would control the logistic support, ammunition and spare parts for these forces. “In addition to these controls set up under NATO, there will be even stronger controls under a Western European Organization. These stronger controls call tor periodic 'inspections and reports on the units, the supply status and the maintenance facilities of all member nations. "In fact, we at SHAPE believe that Western Germany, when tied in closely with her NATO partners, would be the best possible guarantee against any future unilateral German.move which might threaten world peace." It is felt by SHAPE officers that there are two other important facors which would be a deterrent to Germany's “getting out of hand”: _ , ■ J. Germany planned and prepared over a period of six or seven years for World War 11. Under the NATO and "Western European Union” system, the periodic inspections in Germany would give early warning of any such intentions on her part. 2. Another deterrent mentioned is that the West Germans know well what it is to be a battlefield of a modern war and hat Western Germany would become just that in he event that any "dangerous adventure" were undertaken. Q. W’ill President Eisenhower’s recently repeated commitment of American forces on the continent help in the control of Germany?" A. It is generally felt by SHAPE officers, that; while this renewed commitment was intended primarily as a deterrent to Russian aggression. it might also play a role in the "control” of Germany, since it would an additional guarantee of continued integration of forces under NATO. Q. What would be the w-orst consequence if Germany did not rearm ? A. The opinion was that it would be impossible, realistically, to give assurance as to the defense of Western Europe. In this connection, Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, supreme allied commander in Europe, had previously pointed out that the NATO "capability study" assumed that one would have certain assets to work with and that German forces were included among these.

Surgeons found it necessary to cut out three ribs, the collarbone and the breast bone to remove a large tumor from left chest wall of Loitz. The defect was so large that simple closure of the remaining tissues would not produce enough stability in the chest wall to permit the patient to breathe. Surgeons therefore obtained a bone transplant from the body of a person who had recently died and made a successful graft onto the chest of Mr. Loitz.
