Forrestal warns US must not weaken military strength
Secretary Forrestal told the Foreign Policy Association the United States risks losing the capacity to defend itself and allies if it disarms or emasculates its armed forces. He urged keeping effective forces and collective security, cautioning about global disarmament before a workable UN enforcement mechanism and international control of atomic energy are in place.

Knutson Tax Cut Bill Moves Toward House March 24
Rep. Knutson plans to push a flat 20 percent income tax cut in the House on March 24 under a no-change rule, facing a Senate of objections from Rep. Engel who calls it a rich man’s bill. The measure would cut each taxpayer’s tax by one-fifth with a $3.5 billion total reduction retroactive to January 1, amid a debate over timing and foreign aid concerns. The Truman administration opposes immediate tax cuts and favors using surplus revenue to reduce the national debt. There are about 26 million dairy cows in the U.S. and dairy products account for about 25 percent of foods Americans use.
