In 1954, this is to grow to about 88 divisions, by the economists' calculations, or 100 divisions, if the military men's full target is achieved. This threeyear program, the economists estimated, will cost western taxpayers a total of 300 billion dollars. Eisenhower will assume important new responsibilities. His SHAPE headquarters will mushroom as Allied forces from Iceland to the Dardanelles are unified under a single command. An estimated 200-plus airbases will provide insurance against sudden attack by Russia's Korean-proved jets or new longrange bombers.

The Atlantic Council also gave its blessing here to the European Defense Community. That is plan for a supra-national European force made up of French, Italian, West German, Belgian, Dutch and Luxembourg fighting men. Eisenhower would be in command, just as he would over U.

Allied staff officers asked the Reds to study the proposal carefully reply later.

The only immediate reaction came from Chinese Col. Pu Shan who declared: "You have no justification to object to the nations nominated by our side which are in compliance with definition, of netural nations." Staff officers working on prisoner exchange made no headway during a 58-minute session. Col. George W. Hickman called it "completely fruitless" meeting.

The Communists complained that four Allied aircraft flew over the neutral Panmunjom conference site Sunday. The Reds demanded an investigation. "It appears that your side has taken no action to restrict your aircraft," said Col. Thai Cheng. Col.

Andrew J. Kinney told Tasi "we note your statement. We will take it up later after we get the facts." Proposal Rephrased In addition to proposing a compromise supervisory commission plan, Allied staff officers submitted a re-phrased paragraph covering the inspection of armament replacements during a truce. It provided that neutral teams would be permitted to check equipment only enough "to properly insure" that it was of the same type being The plan that "this replacedes shall not be construed-as-authorizing inspections or examinations of any secret designs or characteristice of any combat aircraft, armored vehicles, weapons and ammunition." The Reds, who advocated a more thorough inspection, replied only: "We have fully expressed our views on this matter." The staff officers made no progress toward agreeing on the number of ports of entry to be checked on each side.

Wall Street By RICHARD FISKE NEW YORK (AP) Prices advanced fractions on the Stock Market today but activity slowed quickly after a fairly brisk opening. The gains were not as pronounced as during the short session last Saturday. But while they were small they persisted. Copper stocks, steels and railroad shares were among the stronger groups. Northern Pacific ran against the tide, however.

A strong gainer last Saturday, the rail issue was off as much as a point at times today. Traders were encouraged by the apparent continuation of the week end rally. There was no noticeable change in news over the weekend to cause any strong reactions in the market. American Telephone moved ahead a small fraction on reports of slightly better earnings in 1951 than in 1950. although the per share profit of the Bell System to the parent company's stock was slightly under the previous year.

The storm-battered hulk was tied up at an open pier last light at the end of a 260-mile tow from off Cape Cod. The portion of the trip from Newport, R. through Long Island Sound, to the pier took 26 hours.
