The Committee is expected to vote on the two plans tomorrow.
Meanwhile, in Paris, Premier; Britain had not forgotten Pierre Mendes-France said that what German militarism has France's policy on the disputed taught her in the past and "has Saar remained unchanged" and displayed necessary and that settlement of the long natural caution" in refusing to SFranco-German dispute over the Join the EDC or the European
