KEY WEST, FLORIDA, MONDAY, JUNE 22, 1953 Added Cut In AF Budget Is A Possibility Wilson Replies To Questions Of Senate And Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg WASHINGTON (#—Secretary of Defense Wilson, stcutly upholding his controversial five billion dollar cut in proposed Air Force funds, declared today “the real question” is whether a further cut should be made. In a letter to Sen. Ferguson (R- Mich), Wilson said that if Congress approves his recommendation of $11,700,000,000 of new appropria- tions the Air Force will have $40,- 200,000,000 available at the start of the 1954 fiscal year—the 12 Offer 33-Mile months beginning July 1 The additional money is “carry over” funds; that is, appropria- tions made in previous years and not spent. Wilson said there would be $23,- 20,000,000 availabie for aircraft Procurement, or purchase of new planes, at the start of fiscal 1954 and called the program “‘over- financed.” This sum, he wrete, “provides financing for over 42 months—for all of fiscal 1954 and two and one half years beyond—not considering any new funds for fiscal 1955.” “The real question x x x is whether further reductions in new authorizations for fiscal 1954 should not be made to reduce to a reason- able basis the two and one half years of financed lead time which will be carried into fiscal 1955.” “Lead: time” is the period be- tween the letting of a contract and the completion of the first plane under the contract. Wilson’s letter was in reply to a request for comment on one sent to senators a week ago by Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, the retiring chief of staff of the Air Force.
