COMPROMISE The compromise formula which they were reported to have worked out involved the exploration of possible settlements with Russia while plans are developed for arming NATO Europe with nuclear missiles. Diplomats familiar with the discussions said there was substantial accord on the Russian issue that every possibility for East- West should be explored fully. The NATO permanent council, it was said, will get the task of consulting on the recent series of letters Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin sent to NATO members warning of nuclear missiles danger. Each country will then send its own reply hi keeping with a common line.
