Drive to bar sending troops to Europe gains push
Sen Hickenlooper Iowa announces a new effort to insert a clause in peace treaty approvals with West Germany that blocks sending troops abroad without Congress consent. He argues treaties could be read as authorizing presidential troop deployments. Committee chair Connally says no such implication exists as hearings continue with Gen J Lawton Collins Army chief. The pacts would end Allied occupation of West Germany and create a unified European army linked to NATO forces.
