Red China Budget Shows More Men For Much Less Per Soldier
The Associated Press reports that Red China allocates about 4 billion dollars for 1951 military spending, enabling an army of 4 million with far lower per-soldier costs than the United States. The piece notes sparse overhead, local supply by pillage, and rear echelons, contrasting with U S division-based logistics. The costed figure is set against a projected 42 billion dollar war outlay, with Korea funding uncertain.

San Diego records show the city’s new control program halved average sick days from nine to under three per employee. Raymond Krah, personnel director, says department heads maintain records, pre employment physicals weed out poor health risks, and the plan targets not genuine users but routine sick days and holiday adjacent absences.
