War in Korea Could Require Bigger U S Funds, Says Johnson
United Nations may push Korea north of the 38th parallel prompting higher U S funding than Truman’s 10.5 million request. Secretary Johnson estimates the war may run six to eight months and requires building up forces to the 38th parallel. Testimony before a House subcommittee outlined needs for 17 Army divisions, 69 Air Force groups, and 23 aircraft carriers as defense officials warned that a deeper push could demand more money.
