Lawmaker Deplores Air Arm Cuts In Budget Debate
Washington reports Rep. Price Dill denounces Eisenhower defense spending as inviting attack and urges Defense Secretary Wilson to assure the public air power is protected. Southern Democrats say they will back reduced MSA funds while opposing air cutbacks, citing shifts to foreign aid. Price pins the budget at 36.17 billion, noting big trims in naval aviation and air force funds, with the Army boosted for Korea. Gen. Vandenberg declined to comment on the impact of cuts after a South America trip and National Security Council talks.

Price bases his view on possible budget overruns and lawmakers await page three for continuation.
