Army Bill Debated in Senate Over 1929 Manpower and Costs
Discussion on the new treaty and League of Nations accompanies Senate debate on the army bill. Senator Ronih of Idaho opposed raising 1929 strength to 400 000, but the chamber approved the 400 000 provision without a record vote. The bill carries about 215 million for pay and subsistence, 85 000 for arms, 52 for subsistence and transport, 354 000 000 for aviation, plus 45 000 000 for storage and shipping. Amendments restrict Wright aviation procurement and land adjoining Wright Field, and cap disposal salaries at 1 200 a year. A proposal to strike honors in government failed without a roll call.
