House 6. 0.P. Seeks
To Tie Troop Issue
To oNewDratLaw
Amendment Is Proposed
To Curb Trumon's Right
To Send Gls Abroad
By J. A. O'Leoy

! ADMINISTRATOR leaders IN the
House faced a fight today to keep
the Republicans from tying the
troops-for-Eu issue to the
new draft law.
The House Republican Policy
Committee late yesterday pro-
posed an amendment to the draft
bill providing that mo troops
shall be committed to the Euro
pean area as proposed under the
Atlantic Pact arrangement until
the necessary authorization for
such committal is approved by
both bodies of the Congress"
If such a provision went into
the new draft bill it would be
more drastic than the action the
Senate appears likely to take on
the troop issue. Such an amend
ment in the draft bill would chal-
lenge President Truman's au-
thority to send the four divisions
already planned for Gen. Eisen-
hower's integrated defense force,
unless and until both houses con-
cur in the commitment.
No Binding Law Passed.
The Senate Foreign Relations
and Armed Services Committees,
after weeks of debate, have rec
commended action which would
enable both houses to express
themselves, but without passing
a binding law. There is also a
possibility the two Senate COM
mittees, at a meeting called for
Monday. may further modify theil
action to make it clear they ap-
prove the sending of the four
divisions.
House Republican Leader Mar.
tin of Massachusetts, thinks there
is a good chance" the HOUSE

write a requirement for congress.
