Global Strategy

LONDON, Nov. 9 (AP)—The United States and Britain
tonight were reported shaping up plans for banding together
about 50 nations in a worldwide campaign to block the spread

Senior diplomats here said this proposed new global
diplomatic strategy would be chartered on a long range as-

Emergency steps to recruit a
big staff in some central agency
to analyze, translate and dissemi-

den of this task now rests on the
evidently hopq to align like-mind-'

of their nuclear power, the in-
formants said, and to win pledges
from them that they, will cooper-
ate in political, economic and
military efforts to beat Russia’s
Sputnik-paced challenge.
In the world girdling hookup, at
least four regional defensive al-
liances would be joined. They are
the 15-nation Atlantic Pact, the 5-
nation Baghdad Pact, the 8-mem-
ber Southeast Asian Treaty, Or-
ganization and the 21-state Pan
American Alliance.
But the diplomats insisted there
is no intention to set up any for-
mal new, 50-member treaty spell-
ing out the ekmmitments of the
powers. Even the idea of a con-
ference of the 50-od«F- countries
with which the United States has
treaties has been rejected.
That is because Washington and
London want to avoid any sugges-
tion that they are trying to build
up a rival to the U.N., the infor-
mants said.
The idea instead is to draw all
the West’s regional groupings to-
gether, to create continuing liaison
machinery between them and to
pull in other friendly states which
do not belong to any, formal al-
liance.
f In Washington State Depart-
ment officials recalled that Secre-
tary Dulles had discounted at his
and I news conference last week the
possibility of forming an over-all
allianee in a single organization.
This also has been the line taken
privately by top American offi-
cials here since the meeting be-
tween President Eisenhower and
Prime Minister Macmillan last
month.

By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 l**—'The
Eisenhower administration is look-
ing into the possibility of making
an early start t on deliveries of
missiles to Allied forces in the
European area.
The purpose of the speedup
would be to dramatize American
progress in missiles development
and demonstrate this country's
readiness to share modem weap-
ons with Us Allies to the extent
that the law and the nation's re-
sources permit.
At the same time the adminis-
tration is planning to seek agree-
ment, primarily among the orth
Atlantic Treaty countries, for es-
tablishment of missiles bases on

Now I am highly in favor

vice versa, were outlawed.
