Eisenhower plans $4 billion defense spending cut
Washington sources report President Eisenhower will propose a $4 billion reduction in defense outlays in the coming budget message. The plan aims to hold total military spending for the new fiscal year around 37.5 billion, with the Army bearing the largest cut while the Air Force receives a slight increase and the Navy faces smaller trims. The current year’s defense spending is forecast at 41.56 billion, down from last year’s 43.60 billion. The State of the Union had flagged a broader federal cut, but the defense reduction appears to dominate the plan.
