TAFT LOOKS AT MILITARY SPENDING Senator Robert A. Taft, Majority leader of the Sen- ate, recently said he thought military spending would profit from a complete restudy of the Defense Depart- ment’s program. At the same time he revealed that he is hoping that $4,000,000,000 can be cut from the proposed military budget for the coming year, as submitted by for- mer President Harry S. Truman. Senator Taft was asked if he thought cuts could be made in the Defense Department, Senator Taft said frankly he was sure. But he pointed out that only three years ago General of the Army Omar N. Bradley, chair. “taan of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had told Congress that a $13,500,000,000 military budget was adequate. Though admitting that the Korean War had changed matters considerably, Senator Taft estimated that the military budget would be only about $25,000,000,000 to- day if Bradley’s view had been correct three years ago, and those expenses allowed, and adding in the complete cost of the Korean War. But instead of $25,000,000,000 the Defense Department is requesting over $25,000,000,- 000 for the fiscal year beginning in July. , : Senator Taft thinks President Truman’s estimate of $78,000,000,000 for the fiscal year 1953-54 beginning July 1st can be reduced by approximately $8,000,000,- 000. In addition to lopping -$4,000,000,000 off the De- fense Department appropriation, he hopes to cut foreign aid outlays by $2,500,000,000 and other Government activities by $1,500,000,000, ‘ No doubt he will run into serious opposition within his own party 'in his effort to cut $2,500,000,000 off the foreign aid program, and President Eisenhower is not expected to go along with any such proposed cut, Never- theless number of legislators are expected to support Taft in his effort, even though he may have to change his figures as the possibilities of economics clarify them- selves. ‘ President Truman estimated that expenditures in the fiscal year beginning in July would be approximately $78,000,000,000 and that collections would be approxi- FLEITAS, ALLEN IN DESTROYER SQUADRON ...
