Five Billion Spent In Korea Reported By Congress
Washington August 8 Congress heard an unofficial estimate that the Korean war has cost the United States five billion dollars through last June 30 and may cost at least as much more by next June 30. Representative Mahon of Texas warned the figure could rise if the fighting continues and that bonafide measures may be needed to finance the war. The House debated a peacetime military budget of over 56 billion dollars as cuts already totaled more than 1.5 billion from the president’s request, with a limit on future troop deployments proposed by some members. The Senate moved on a similar bill as the debate continued amid concerns over future costs and defense needs.
