Bonn, Apr. 27.

Dr Konrad Adenauer, West German Chan- cellor, has abandoned a plan to circumvent the Upper House of Parliament in seeking approval of the treaties linking his country with Western defence.

Authoritative Government sources said today he had decided not to place the treaties-the European Army Treaty and the conventions ending occupation rule-before President Theodór Heuss for signature on Tuesday.

Last week, Dr Adenauer implied that he might place the treaties — already approved by the Lower House (Bundestag) before the President, as tho
