Senate panel blasts defense planners for lack of foresight
A Senate subcommittee led by Senator Lyndon Johnson accused top defense planners of sleepy thinking on national security issues and called for a shakeup of the munitions board. It condemned postwar surplus handling for war goods and urged intensified synthetic rubber research and domestic rubber production. The panel noted sales of five war production plants since Korea began and protested the Akron synthetic rubber plant sale. The report pressed for swifter reconversion and better emergency defense planning.
