Washington dispatch reports a multi billion dollar armament push and defense budget increases that may raise total defense needs to between 66 and 100 billion dollars. The Budget Bureau urges Congress to trim non defense programs, risking cuts to farm aid, youth aid, work relief and public works. The Army plans heavier bomber expansion beyond 25 000 planes while late 1942 might see peak bomber output around 3600 annually. The Senate Finance Committee considers three reduced budget paths of 1 000 000 000 1 500 000 000 or 2 000 000 000 in this year's non defense spending. The study notes no agency inputs and no administration policy.
