Kennedy urged defense shakeup to abolish service secretaries
A UPI report says a special study committee urged President-elect Kennedy to abolish Army Navy and Air Force secretaries to save eight billion dollars yearly. The plan would keep the services but remove their departments and create a unified defense secretary with a combined planning staff reporting to the president. Kennedy welcomed the study and said Congress must act to implement reforms.
