Navy Cuts Seen Impairing Nation's Security
Secretary Matthews told a House armed services panel that Pentagon spending cuts would jeopardize national security by slashing Navy and Marine aviation. Vinson and budget officers testified that Navy reductions would be about nine percent, with large portions hitting air arms, while Air Force sees about three and a half percent cuts. The dispute centers on defense spending plans aimed at saving 800 million dollars, with no service favored.
