Eisenhower Finds His Task Brutal But Not Impossible
Gen Dwight D Eisenhower wraps up a tour of Atlantic Pact nations with a blunt verdict that building a Western defense will be brutally hard but feasible. He warns Europe must arm, America will aid, and Congress will withhold funds if any nation stalls. His presence boosts European confidence though fears of economic sacrifice persist. President Truman pledges additional American troops to reinforce commitment.

Debate centers on whether Congress should cap ground troop deployments, with Taft pushing for a limit and Connally warning caps would deter Europe and invite Soviet action. Connally will convene the two committees to review a resolution sponsored by Senate Republican Leader Wherry.
