Gruenther said today the build-up of his North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces has been “fantastic” and they soon will be given added power in the form of atomic weapons. There is no word but “fantastic” to describe the increase in Allied power against Communist aggress ion since the dark days of 1951 when Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower arrived in Europe to organize Al lied supreme headquarters, Gruen ther told the North Atlantic Coun cil of Ministers. But the prospect of atomic weap ons does not mean “an automatic reduction for forces” will be pos sible, Gruenther warned. He said Allied leaders must keep open minds and "resist popular pressure” to cut troop strength. FRANCE ANGERED Gruenther made his report as France rocked with anger and sur prise over the warning yesterday by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles that the United States must make an “agonizing” review of American policy unless France ra tifies the European defense com munity pact soon. Diplomats called Dulles’ state ments “shock tactics.” Newspapers called them “brutal” and “a clumsy warning.” Former French Premier Edouard Daladler, a bitter foe of the Euro pean army plan, said Dulles’ state ments “profoundly Injure French national feeling.” Gruenther, who served as chi4f of staff to Gen. Elsenhower at su preme headquarters, addressed the NATO council after ministers had referred, at their morning session, to “significant progress” and “note worthy advances.” “The progress has been fantastic when we consider the dlAcaUtat which had to be overcome" Gruen ther Mid. The Ministerial Council consider ed at its meeting the “annual re view” of Western capabilities and requirements. CALLS FOR INCREASES This review calls for “reason able” increases in 1954 of seven and one-third divisions and 1,700 planes. At the end of 1963 the Allied strength will be 87 2-3 “standing" divisions, 45 divisions capable of be ing ready for action within 30 days, and 4,000 planes. GOP Heads Oppose Universal Training WASHINGTON (UP) Congressional leaders con signed to the deep freezer today a new administration plan to start universal military training side by side with the draft.
