Senate faces battle over massive military appropriation bill
Intense interest surrounds the Senate Armed Services Committee as it hones a war budget that started at 23 billion in three services, trimmed to 15.9 billion by the Senate now, with cries of waste from Rep. Clarence Cannon and calls from Sen. Taft for deeper cuts. Observers warn that unification, air force sizes, a service pay hike, and new Atlantic Pact military aid could limit reductions, while proposals to fund eight Atlantic Pact nations push a 1.45 billion package.
