Vandenberg Warns on Reducing Bomber Power and Deterrence
General Hoyt S. Vandenberg told the House Armed Services Committee that cutting strategic bombing strength would allow Russia to focus on offensive power. He defended building a B 36 fleet against Navy calls to favor tactical air power, warning such cuts would undermine deterrence and risk losing the ability to strike at the Soviet heartland. Johnson plans to bolster pushback with Gen. Marshall Gen. Clark and Robert Heller joining Gen. Eisenhower on the witness list for tomorrow.
