Taft Opens New Phase in Truman Foreign Policy Debate
In a Senate speech Senator Taft argues Truman overstepped authority by committing American troops to Europe without congressional approval. He suggests limiting American divisions for North Atlantic defense and favors strengthening air and sea defenses at up to 40 billion annually. He warns a large European force risks destruction. Democrats counter Taft's premise while Dulles backs counterattack readiness and a China blockade.

Senators Back Huge Budget Plan For Military Defense
Senators Douglas and Humphrey urged an $80 billion federal budget to block Communism and fund Western Europe defense. They criticized Taft's $65 billion suggestion as too small and called for rapid tax hikes to support near-doubling revenue.
