Air defense is urged as essential against Soviet threats
The piece reviews multiple readings on air defense, urging a strong national effort amid rising Soviet air-atomic capabilities. It notes the Bull report’s $6 to 4.7 billion annual plan as not a net rise, and warns a Budget Bureau push to cut defense below 30 billion would hobble forces and block the extra 3 to 4 billion for air defense. It mentions an economy minded committee likely to push a minority report to bury the issue, but hints the pro-defense side may prevail.
