SOME ARMY-NAVY DISSENSION Further, both the Army and Navy have known for years that they have (had to pay heavily in overhead | charges because of the limited num- ber of each design of plane they could buy. The President's program calls for buying larger numbers of each type. Moreover, just the fact that a manufacturer can keep his whole plant busy for sustained peri-, ods is expected to contribute to the cost reduction as well as the speed- up Of course the suggestion that the government is going to be able to buy somewhere near 4,000 planes for the old-time cost of 3,000 isn’t going to convince Con- gress altogether that the arma- ment program is necessarily a good (hing.

Moreover, there is a suspicion of Navy dissension at the prospect of the Army getting such a fat-cat in the way of appro- priations. These things filter into congressional ears to create opposi- tion. There is already intimation that a minor compromise with the Navy has been effected. The Army was bidding for a clear half billion. It didn’t get it. The Navy got a cut. The President asked for $552,000,- 000 but suggested $65,000,000 of this for Navy purposes. The Army would get $450,000,000.
