AIR PLANNING GROUP
LEAVES FOR US
Bonn, June 23.
The West German Cabinet today sent Parliament a bill forming the legal basis for the establishment of a West German army, navy and air force of 500,000 men.
Approved at a seven-hour session of the Cabinet it eventually will replace a bill to enlist some 6,000 volunteers as the nucleus of the armed forces.
The new bill lays down 'he basic principles of West Gorman rearmament and determines the status, rights and duties of the future forces. It is not expected to become law before next year. WOULD BE DAMAGING
Ilerr Theador Blank, the new Defence Minister, told a press conference today it would be "damaging" for West Germany if she hesitated any longer with a start to rearmament.
The Lower House decided to- night, against the votes of the Social Democratic opposition, to take the first reading of the volunteers bill next Monday afternoon and Tuesday.

Oakland, Calif., June 23.
Sir Pierson Dixon, Britain's permanent United Nations delegate, said today that the essential groundwork on disarmament was now being laid.
"Even if disarmament is not an immediate likelihood opposing views of many points have been reconciled and thus much good is being done by discussing it," he said at a Rotary Club luncheon here today.

Reviewing the dve, disarm- ament talics which began in

This plan, after dealing with a number of wider political issues not strictly connected with dis armament itself went on to make Its own a number of the most important parts of the Western proposal put forward in the sub- ecmmittée already, It was very considerable step nearer to agreement.
