Wilson cites possible 230000 troop cuts under review
Secretary of Defense Wilson declined to confirm reports of about 230000 military reductions within a year while denying an 800000 cut by 1960. He warned the 800000 figure is not a definite plan and noted a downward manpower trend due to new weapons and delivery systems. He also said the next fiscal budget could not be assumed at 4352 billion dollars and said he sent back the three services’ estimates.
