Defeat of Power McCarthy Vs. the Army Limit Is Victory
The House defeated a proposal to bar dispatch of troops abroad without congressional approval by 214 to 37, while approving a $5.6 billion defense appropriations bill. Speaker Martin framed it as a confidence vote that Eisenhower will seek congressional consent before action in Indochina. The measure would have constrained swift responses in fluid situations, drawing Democratic critique amid Indochina tensions.
