Army secretary urges senators to block troops cut
Secretary of the Army Brucker and Gen Max Taylor told a Senate subcommittee they need 55,000 more men than the administration allows for next year. They said a BA 9. million defense item to hold Army strength at 900,000 is under consideration while McElroy had proposed 870,000. They argued a 925,000 force is the minimum for the coming year and warned a 30,000 cut would shrink divisions and close facilities.
