Texas Solon Sees Doubled Defense Cost
Washington April 23 AP says defense spending will more than double next fiscal year with a terrific impact on the civilian economy. Rep. Mahon Texas, chair of the House appropriations subcommittee, noted strains on civilian output. William H. Harrison, defense production chief, predicted a rapid buildup and a gradual easing about 18 months hence. Mahon cited a 5.46 billion defense appropriation raising total to 48 billion for the year, but only 19 billion will be spent by June 30. Harrison warned the economy can absorb the shock if more funds are authorized for future deliveries. He added the public may have to do without some items for now.
