Senate approves extra billion for Air Force in 1957 budget
The Senate rejected Eisenhowers air power assessment and voted 48 to 40 to add nearly a billion dollars to the Air Force budget for fiscal 1957, boosting craft programs while the administration faced sharp attacks on Defense Secretary Wilson. The defense bill totaled about 35 billion, with 16.5 for the Air Force, 10 for Navy and Marine Corps, and 7.1 for the Army. The House action and spending fate remain unsettled as campaign politics mount.
