Military Budget Nears 80 Billion for Next Year
The House Appropriations Committee approved an emergency defense budget of 6.468 billion and examined a new request possibly exceeding 70 million for wartime Korea needs. Spending aims mainly for May and June, on top of 48 billion already voted for the fiscal year ending June 30. The regular budget for the year starting July 1 may reach about 70 billion, with officials predicting as high as 80 billion. The package includes funds for Project X at the Atomic Energy Commission, manpower boosts for the Army Navy Marine Corps and Air Force, and faster procurement of tanks guns missiles and aircraft. Army plans include a June draft call reduction to 20 thousand and bringing home up to 20 thousand veterans, while recalling 15 thousand reserve officers to train an estimated 1.25 million troops by June 30. Cost increases reflect Korea war needs and equipment updates such as the Patton tank.
