The New York Times reports that three armed services chiefs protest Adm. Arthur W. Radford's plan to cut force levels by about 800000 by 1960. They argue the reduction would weaken Europe defense contributions and fear policy implications of a fortress America approach. An order stalled strategic planning until after the November election.
