Washington details indicate President elect Kennedy likely must raise military outlays beyond 41 billion dollars annually even if a defense reorganiza tion proceeds. Sen. Stuart Symington, ex Air Force secretary, warns defenders are inadequate for the nuclear space era and notes the plan’s eight billion in naval savings would be used by other cuts. He cites grave fiscal problems and deadwood removal as Kennedy and Congress decisions loom. Mississippi Governor Barnett calls unpledged electors meeting to choose a candidate for presidential electors on December 19, with Gates opposing a single chief over the services.
