The 15-member North Atlan tic Treaty Organization, wrapp ing up a two-day meeting Wednesday, announced the de fense chiefs will meet next week (in Brussels, Belgium, for a ,three-day strategy session. The allies also accepted Car ter’s invitation to a summit .meeting in Washington next May to chart NATO’s defense for the 1980 s in the face of “the growth in strength of offensive capabilities of the armed forces of the Warsaw Pact countries.” In his speech to the alliance Tuesday, Carter warned Soviet force* today “are much strong er than needed for any defense purpose.” He promised U.S. ef forts to revitalize the alliance and called on the allies to join in the task. The Brussels meeting, open ing Monday at NATO headquar ters, will bring together repre sentatives of all the alliance members except France. Although the French remain members of the alliance, their military forces are not part of the NATO command structure headed by U.S. Gen. Alexander Haig.

Brown will also review les sons in tank tactics learned by the Israelis during the 1973 Middle East war, the source said. During the conflict, the Arabs used primarily Soviet weapons and tactics while the Israelis fought with American equipment. Brown told a business group in Atlanta, Ga., Wednesday that NATO forces are beset by numerous problems, including differences in equipment, com munications and tactics. He said such differences would have to be resolved “if collec tive security ... is to flourish.” The NATO communique is sued at the close of the London meeting also noted “there have been improvements in East- West relations in recent years,” although “elements of in stability and uncertainty exist.” Lewis joins ACTION ATLANTA (AP) — John Lewis, a veteran civil rights leader, will become associate director of ACTION, a federal volunteer program, The Atlanta Constitution reported today.

In the House, where prospects for passage appear less certain, the test was sched uled for next Tuesday. Defense spending, the issue that divided the conference committee, appeared for a time to threaten the whole congres sional budget process. The slll billion figure is sl.l billion more than the House had voted, S6OO million less than the Senate sought, S9OO million less than President Carter requested in February and $l.B billion under a later semiofficial estimate by his Office of Management and Budget. Defense spending for the cur rent fiscal year is set at $lOO.l billion, out of a total budget of $417.4 billion. Anticipating charges that proposal would cut into the na tion’s military muscle, the com mittee defended its decision in its report to both the House and Senate. The report said slll billion for defense would mean a partial slowdown in foreign military sales and would require the Defense Department to spend funds left over from earlier years and to absorb part of coming pay increases. The fig- Page 11 I —Griffin Daily News Thursday, May 12,1977 ure also anticipates inflation below administration estimates. Liberal House Democrats, who hold the key to success of budget resolutions in that chamber, contributed to the de feat of the first resolution drafted this year and said they would vote against future pro posals unless defense spending were kept relatively low. But budget committee chair man Robert N. Giaimo, DConn., noting that lawmakers like the new budget system, which gives Congress a bigger role in setting spending levels, expressed optimism that the new resolution would win approval. Defeat of the compromise resolution would halt work on spending bills and could con ceivably endanger the contin uation of the congressional budget system. The nonbinding resolution serves as a guideline for spending bills. In the fall, Congress will adopt a second resolution, setting mandatory ceilings.
