He noted defense estimates and a 72 billion dollar annual level as a base, with further cuts possible to reach balance. Lovett urged caution to protect military readiness.

California narco laws seen as too light by federal agent
U S Agent Ernest M Gentry told the Assembly Judiciary Committee that California has become a haven for dope peddlers. He noted the state penalties are too light and described the drug trade’s profitability. The hearings ended without agreement on major narcotics bills but approved two measures limiting witness refusals and extending hospital confinement for addicts.
