Rising Expenses for Military See Rising Budgets
See Rising Expenses for Military. SEA ISLAND Ga. Industry leaders warned to expect rising military budgets and cuts in manpower through 1960 or longer. Assistant Secretary Burgess told the Commerce Department Business Advisory Council that defense costs will mount and total production will grow with defense about 10 percent of the total. He dismissed talks of large force cuts, predicting only minor downward adjustments by late 1958, and noted no cuts in combat forces in the upcoming fiscal 1958 budget. Burgess said the Pentagon will avoid major draft-end proposals until an alternative manpower plan emerges.
