Says We Will Maintain U.S. Troops Abroad WASHINGTO N— OPM- President Eisenhower today affirmed United States wil lingness to maintain armed forces in Europe, including Germany, if the Paris agree ments establishing the Wes tern European Union are ratified fully. The President restated U. S. pol icy on the rearmament of Western Germany and other aspects of the Paris agreements in a special message to the prime ministers of Belgium, France, West Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, The Nether lands and the United Kingdom. With the Western nations press ing for ratification of the Paris pacts, the President reaffirmed a six-point policy program for the United States to become effective upon ratification of the agree ments. His statement came as the French upper house considered ratification. Presumably his state ment was designed to throw all possible weight behind the French government campaign for appro val. Just IX months ago, he issued a similar statement when the Eu ropean Defense Community was up for ratification. But the EDC was killed by the French. The Paris agreements were an out growth of the EDC failure. Thet six points listed today by tbe president promised to: portlof the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. 2.

G ‘ News Os Romance May Havf Leaked LONDON—(IP)—Two British newspapers hinted today that news of a romance between Princess Margaret Group Capt. Peter Townsend had been “leaked” to pre pare the public for the shock of her marriage to o divorced man. The Labor Party newspaper Daily Herald and the Daily Sketch reprinted reports in American newspapers there might be an .early wedding and suggested tfeat this was a trial balloanfto see wS*t the British public thought ab*»l>t it. ‘ Most British newspapers were s lent on the reported romance, news of which was revived last weekend and has filled the press ever since. The Daily Mirror print ed three letters from readers, two of which discussed whether the royal romance should be public ized. “WORST POSSIBLE TASTE" “When the Duke of Windsor chose between duty and love the public was not given a proper hear ing,” one letter said. “TTiis folly must not be repeated with another of our beloved persons.” Another letter called the black headlines “The Worst Possible Taste.” The third tetter, from a person who said she married an innocent person in a divorce case like Townsend declared she was “very, very happy 1 . . with best luck to them both.” PALACE STILL SILENT No London newspaper has ven tured to guess where the truth lies, and even the tabloids which revived talk of a Townsend Margaret romance have avoided predictions. The reticence about royalty which kept the Fleet Street press muzzled for so long on King Ed ward VIII’s romance with Wallis Warfield Simpson is not a factor.
