Chairman Vinson of the House Armed Services committee accused the Defense department of slowing rearmament and urged speedier funding. He said the current plan to field 2,089,000 uniformed personnel by July is just a first increment from 1,535,000, with a total defense fund of 25 billion including Truman’s emergency request. Draft calls were seen to sustain reinforcements until Korea stabilizes, as Air Force aims to boost groups from 48 to 58 within a year and to 69 by January 1953.
