There were even overtones of the heated Navy-Air Force row of 1947, when the two services slugged it out with rival claims of supe- riority. Secretary of the Navy Robert B, Anderson, joining Sen. Lyndon Johnson (R-Tex) yesterday in a filmed television broadcast for Texas stations, claimed special ad- vantages for naval air power over land-based planes. The Navy, Anderson said, could sO launch planes near targets via air- craft carriers without need of bases on foreign soil. + When Johnson asked about the argument, reminiscent of 1947, that carriers are “sitting ducks’ for enemy attackers, Anderson said: “That simply is not true.” He said carriers now make a “poor and highly dangerous target.” Ferguson’s subcommittee _lis- tened most of last week to Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, retiring Air Force chief of staff, and other fly- ing generals. They vigorously op- posed cutbacks as dangerous at a time when Soviet air power is ex- panding. Some senators suggested private- ly that President Eisenhower may have to take a personal hand in lining up votes for the program he says is ample for national defense. Opposition has been expressed in Congress. by some Republicans a well a many Democrats. One of the most militant has been Rep. Yorty (D-Calif), who renewed his criticism yesterday of the trim- ming of former President Tru- man’s request for Air Force funds, In a statement prepared for the Congressional Record, Yorty at- ,| tacked what he called “the cut- and-cover-up technique of the De- fense Department defeatists.” He said they “seized upon an amount at random” in cutting the Air Force budget. Yorty’s statement drew backing from Senators Lehman (D,Lib-NY) and Sparkman (D-Ala). Lehman said on an ABC televi- sion program yesterday he believes the cuts were “based on the desire of the budget director, and not on the realities of the situation.” Spagkman said in an interview: “I have a definite feeling that the Air Force cut has not been sents a lump sum reduction rather than a cut made on the basis of defense needs.” Ferguson, in his CBS-TV appear- ance, said talk about the number of want to make it mean.” “What we have to talk about,” the senator said, ‘is the number of | combat planes and we're not going | to cut down the number of combat | planes at all.” Ferguson joined Sen. Duff (R Pa) on an ABC television show baeks. Their debate opponents jwere Yorty and Sen, Henry M Jackson (D-Wash).
