best deal he could possibly get from France's EDC allies.

Few details of the new plan were disclosed.

EXPERT ARRIVED

The main feature. the source; said. was that it would not require new parliamentary action by the countries which already have rat. ified EDC. Only France and Italy have failed to ratify the pact.

Late Friday dark pesglmlgm dominated the conference.

The foreign ministers worked feverishly as the night wore on, although the conference was sup- posed to have ended Friday.

The reconciliation effort was said to have originated with Belgian Foreign Minister Paul-Henri Spank.

As word of the now move spread. it was disclosed that David K.. Bruce. special American ambas- sador, had arrived in Brussels from Paris. Bruce is an expert on EDC. He came in unannounced, and presumably will be available for consultations by the ministers.

The Socialist newspaper le

Peuple said U.S. State Secretary Dulles late "rlday cabled M " france asking him to keep work- ng for the success of EDC. He was quoted as saying that failure of the conference would be equiv- alent to handing West Germany over to the Communists.

Neither French nor American in- formants here could confirm le Peuple's report immediately.

one outstanding conclusion drawn from the talks. he said, was that the strategic outlook of the Commonwealth army commanders must be global to obtain proper perspective.

The Commonwealth command- ers. he said. were well satisfied with the present system of mil- itary liaison between their coun- tries but it was hoped to step up the exchange of officers.

Harding said Britain's decision to reduce the size of her Korean com- mitment sprang from a desire to bring troops back to Britain to form a strategic reserve force. At present, roughly 80 per cent of Britain's fighting forces are serv- ing overseas.
