By Joseph W. Grigf PARIS UPI —French President Charles de Gaulle has dumped some serious housing problems in his allies’ laps. He has given the North Atlantic Treaty Organization until April 1 next year to get its two major headquarters out of France. The United States has been given the same notice to

pull out all its troops and bases. But, less than eight months from De Gaulle’s deadline, they still are trying to make up their minds where to go. The first and perhaps most immediate problem is the future of Supreme Allied Headquarters SHAPE, since 1951 has been located 10 miles west of Paris.

ticking away, nothing decided and a complete headquarters setup and living quarters, schools and commissaries still to build for 600 officers and 2,500 enlisted men and their families. Even less has been decided about the future of NATO’s other major command posts, headquarters of Allied Forces Central Europe AFECENT, currently located at Fontaine-

bleau south of Paris.

This is likely to go to Germany but no definite site has

been found for it.

As for NATO’s political head-

site at Chievres-casteau in the Mons-charierol area, about 40 miles southwest of Brussels and 15 miles from the French frontier. But the allied supreme commander, Gen. Lyman L. Lemitzer visited the site recently and was reported less than enthusiastic about it. He found it too isolated and without good communications— something vital for the top allied command post. He asked the Belgians to suggest another site. But they have replied politely it must be Chievres-casteau or

Wfien the NATO foreign ministers met in Brussels at the beginning of June they were unable to make up their minds and put off a decision until Octo-

ber.

The United States, Great Britain and an apparent majority of other member countries favor moving to Brussels in order to be as near as possible to Supreme Allied Headquarters —“co-location” of the two is the “Natoese” word for it. But a vocal minority headed by Canada has taken the line that nothing should be done to irritate the French. Some senior permanent NATO officials who are comfortably established in

The French have said little about it, though some French officials say that “Let’s not annoy the French” is not an issue because De Gaulle doesn’t really care one way or the oth-

The National Federation of Fishmongers at Grantham, fiv< miles away, doesn’t like it. A spokesman said the reverend’* fish sales are ruining their busi-

“It is disgraceful when the church has to go into the fish trade to raise money,” he said. Rev. Lundberg makes a 130mile round trip to Grimsby every Friday to buy fish wholesale and sell it here, where there is no local fishmonger. He has thus far realized $22.40 in profits.
