Eisenhower Defends Air Force Cuts Amid Security Debate
President Eisenhower said Thursday that his proposed Air Force cutbacks do not endanger national security though he admitted uncertainty about the exact strength needed in a potential attack. Gen. Nathan Twining warned in a Senate hearing that the cuts could delay essential force buildup, while Adm. Arthur Radford said he had no opinion, being out of the country when the decision was made. Democrats and some Republicans argued the cuts would weaken defenses and asked for assurances they would not cripple the military. The White House stressed that the administration believes the force level remains adequate for now.
