Senate defeats amendment to limit troop deployment to four divisions
The Senate rejected by 62 to 27 Sen Case’s bid to ban sending foot soldiers under 20 and endorsed an administration plan to send four divisions about 100,000 men to Europe. McClellan’s amendment would require congressional approval for any troop commitments beyond the four divisions, while Lehman and others warned it could tie the president’s hands. Case denounced the idea of using young troops and urged a broader political fight over war powers. The debate included Wherry’s push for a greater congressional voice and Barkley’s ruling to keep the matter unresolved after initial procedural moves.
