Eisenhower Urges Substantial Cuts in Defense Budget
Former president Dwight D. Eisenhower at a Republican dinner surprised both parties by urging substantial reductions in the nation’s defense budget of 51.6 billion. He warned current military spending reflects unjustified fears and outdated concepts, while pledging not to reveal exact cuts. Democrats defend Kennedy’s defense increases, but some Republicans welcomed the call for trimming, with leaders like Halleck and Scott weighing potential 10 percent reductions. Eisenhower and wife Mamie also enjoyed autograph sessions with admirers.
