Military Job Cuts Start a Series of Anguished Howls
Washington August 25 Members of Congress faced pressure between a military economy drive they backed and constituent anger over proposed cuts. Johnson announced 135000 civil service job losses within 905000 and retirement of 12073 reserve officers to save about 200 million dollars in the current year and reduce next year’s budget to 13.4 billion. Critics warned of costs from mothballing shipyards and questioned adaptation to postwar needs while Hoover committee backers hailed the move as Hoover report savings.
