Defense Plan Hints Four Year Air Force Expansion
The Defense Department reveals a four year plan to boost the Air Force with emphasis on fighters for home air defense. A spokesman says there will be no cut in the 48 air groups and there may be a small year by year increase aiming toward 58 groups vetoed previously by Truman. At least two billion dollars annually will fund new planes. The plan disputes claims of friction between Johnson and Symington and notes the U S now has more jets than some reports claim. Expansion aims to fix perceived neglect of tactical defense units and praises Admiral Sherman for boosting anti submarine programs.
