Halt in U S Defense Plans Sparks Election Delay
The New York Times reports strategic defense planning halted until after the election due to a revolt by the three armed services against Admiral Arthur W. Radford. Radford proposed cutting about 800000 troops by 1960, uniting service chiefs in protest that such cuts would weaken Europe defense commitments. The order to pause planning was attributed to high defense officials, possibly Secretary Charles E. Wilson or Deputy Reuben B. Robertson Jr. The Army braced for possible further reductions.

Radford Sees Possible U S Military Reduction
Adm. Arthur W. Radford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, stated that U S manpower needs may fall as new weapons arrive but cautioned against attributing fixed views to him. He disputed a Times report of an 800000 man cut by 1960, saying conclusions were not yet reached by the chairman. Proposals include trimming Army 450000, Navy Marine 200000, and Air Force 150000 with budgets under 40 billion in 1960, and overseas forces reduced to token levels amid emphasis on nuclear options.
