Army Budget Biggest Peace Time in U.S. History
The 7.091 billion dollar peacetime army budget plus 175 million for atomic energy goes to the House floor. It is nearly twice the 1941 prewar allotment, with cuts to relief and government activities in occupied countries and a revised atomic service figure. The Air Corps receives full approval for 1.1995 billion, plans call for a postwar air force of 70 combat groups with an air National Guard in every state, and total guard and reserve figures are outlined alongside architecture for peacetime research and base construction.

Russia Defies U S Plan With A Bomb Counter proposal
New York June 20 CP members of the United Nations atomic energy commission weighed today a Russian counter plan to outlaw atomic weapons. Gromyko proposed an international convention that would destroy all bombs within three months of ratification and place sanctions on violations. The plan retains UN Security Council control and would require signatories to enact strict penalties. Observers said the move could prolong preliminaries for global atomic control. The commission adjourned until next Tuesday.
