Defense Officials say Army views considered in force cut
Secretary of Defense Wilson and Adm. Radford testified that Army views were fully considered and rejected before Eisenhower ordered a 73,000 man reduction. Ridgway said he had little warning of the December plan to cut to 1,102,000 by mid-1956. They argued the cutbacks would not spur Red China nor decide a Korean style war outcome. The testimony occurred in a closed House Appropriations subcommittee session in February and was released today.
