Pentagon Aims 100000-Army Cut Faces Senate Review
Senate Armed Services members call for a closer look at a Pentagon plan to cut the armed forces by 100000, while House Appropriations leaders back the move. Defense Secretary Wilson announced the reduction to save about two million dollars by year end 1957, with 50 000 going from the Army 25000 from the Air Force 15000 from the Navy and 10000 from the Marine Corps. The action would drop authorized strength from 2800000 to about 2709000 and would not greatly affect overseas deployments according to officials.
