Probable 11 Per Cent Cut To Navy
The House Appropriations Committee recommended an about 12 percent cut to the 1948 Navy budget, potentially reducing active naval and marine strength by around 40,000. It削 decreased President Truman’s requested new appropriations by 377.5 million dollars, while urging reductions in personnel and closure of shore facilities. The panel proposed pay and civilian staff cuts, with debate set for next week, and signaled that reductions could affect officers and enlisted ranks depending on efficiencies found in the Navy’s organization.
