Secretary Defends Air Force Budget Before Senate Subcommittee
Secretary of the Air Force Quarles defended the Eisenhower budget amid a Senate subcommittee hearing on Air Force funding. He praised a fleet of over a thousand B47 bombers as the world’s most powerful striking force and predicted the force would remain the largest intercontinental bomber fleet by 1959 with tanker support. The debate centers on a proposed increase of 600 million to 1.16 billion dollars, pitting Democratic calls for a larger boost against Republican limits, as Knowland and other leaders weigh administration rights versus Congress independence. Bridges predicts a close vote on the funding.
