Although Mr. Eisenhower had planned to submit the European agreements at the same time, new French-German disputes have induced a "to slow" U.S. attitude.
The SEATO pact is similar in purpose to the North Atlantic Treaty organization.
"Included in the treaty is an understanding on behalf of the U.S. that the only armed attack in the treaty area which the U.S. would regard as necessarily dangerous to our peace and security would be a Communist armed attack.
In his message transmitting the Pacific Pact, signed at Manila in September, Mr. Eisenhower said it was designed to promote security and peace in Southeast Asia and the Southwestern Pacific "by deterring Communist and other aggression in that area."

CURTAIN GOES UP—The first of four performances of Luigi Pirandello's "Right You Are—If You Think So" will be presented at 8 p.m. today in Fraser theater by the University theatre players. The play is directed by John Newfield, professor of drama.
The All Student Council last night approved the following appropriations for campus organizations:
AWS asked for and received an appropriation of $1.450.
ISA asked for $250 but that figure was amended to $275.
Mortar Board asked for $65 but received $55.
International club asked for $218 but the appropriation was referred to the budget committee and an operating advance of $70 was approved.
The University Veterans' organization asked for $165 but the Senate awarded "no appropriation."
The amendment to the ISA appropriation was approved after discussion which showed that ISA President Margaret Smith and ASC treasurer Phil Petitt had trimmed the ISA budget in order to keep the appropriation at a minimum. The increase will allow the organization to increase its schedule of activities.
The appropriation to UVO was not passed, when it was shown that the organization's receipts for membership exceeded its budget for the year.
The cut in the appropriation for Mortar Board was passed when Treasurer Pettit informed the Senate that the appropriation would be used primarily to pay for the organization's picture in the Jay-hawker. It was the feeling of the Senate that Jayhawk picture should be an organizational expense.
The ASC accepts requests for appropriations only from the service or administration organizations specified in ASC bill 19.
Money for ASC appropriations is apportioned annually by the administration from the student activity fee fund.
