U. S. to Hike Arms Supply to Indochina
The United States will sharply increase arms shipments to Indochina to double the number of Viet Namese fighting Communists. Officials say the plan would cover about 40 percent of future costs, raising aid well above 300 million dollars for the current year and aiming to grow pro French divisions from four to eight by mid 1954. The move could affect Formosa military shipments, though officials gave no details.

Eisenhower told Oregon delegates that taxes could be cut in two years if the budget is balanced and Western military power equals Russia. He predicted a steady tax reduction later from the White House with a two year horizon.

He moves on to Texas and Nevada stops, with a Denver HQ schedule and Western delegate meetings to follow. He indicated he still favors Taft among Arizona delegates while remaining noncommittal on others.
