United States Troops for European Defense... ... as a measure for this country's won security were backed by mili tary heads of the Army and Navy Monday testifying at senate hearings in Washington. Gen. J. Lawton Collins, army chief of staff, said that if it comes to war with Russia the U. 8. doughboy likely would be the ultimate stopper against communist armies. Collins acknowledged under questioning that he did not know where the "stopping point" might be in sending troops if the world situation grew increasingly tense. For the Navy, Admiral Forrest P. Sherman said he believed only two courses of military action were open deployment of U. R. forces over seas or withdrawal, abandoning our Allies and later fighting alone.

The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen... . . . pleaded guilty to contempt of court Monday in the recent “sick" strikes in railyards and was fined $75,000. Federal Judge Edward A. Tamm ordered the fine in U. S. District Court in Washington immediately after the surprise plea. Tamm said he was fining the union $50,000 for criminal contempt as a "punitive" penalty for the strikes which occurred despite Army opera tion of the railroads.

The State Liquor Commission... . . . denouncing Portland City Commissioner J. E. Bennett's attack on it as "slanderous, irresponsible, and completely without factual basis,' said Monday that the Portland City Council actually determines whethei I beer tavern licenses shall be granted by the Liquor Commission.

Ham mond, said "no retail license is issued unless it has the official approval of the city council."
