President Demands Budget Stand in Defense Clash
Senate GOP leader Knowland said Eisenhower sticks to the defense budget despite a Democratic bid to add one billion for the Air Force. He noted a rival Republican plan to boost Air Force funds by half a billion could be more acceptable, as White House aides and Sherman Adams discuss the issue while the president remains hospitalized. He stressed White House and Joint Chiefs recommendations are adequate, but acknowledged Congress and the presidency act as coequal branches with independent judgment. The question remains whether the president would accept a larger appropriation without spending it.
