Liberty amendments threaten federal taxes and defense
The proposed liberty amendments would abolish the federal income tax and many levies while restricting government competition with private business. They would trigger drastic budgets cuts, slashing defense and atomic energy, foreign aid, agriculture, welfare, and more, with uncertain offsets from economic gains. Critics warn the plan is unrealistic given military needs and current debt.

Symington to report on Ike stockpiling in drive
The Senate Armed Services Subcommittee led by Sen. Stuart Symington released a highly controversial report criticizing the Eisenhower administration for stockpiling strategic materials. It cites a $1.1 billion paper loss and a $3.3 billion surplus value, with denials from Thurmond Case and Beall and support from Symington Engle and Canon. The document, drafted with White House help, argues secret management and profit-rich contracts under the Defense Production Act. President Kennedy ordered the probe in 1962 amid concerns over excessive stockpiling and misaligned defense needs.
