New York reports the Kremlin cut expectations for the sixth five year plan noting no revised goals for 1957 to 1960. If 1957 additions hold, 1960 output of coal steel petroleum electricity would fall short of earlier targets, implying a 40 to 50 percent rise by 1960 versus 1955 levels.

Wilson Warns Against Raising Defense Spending
Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson told a Miami business audience that the nation is spending about as much as it can on defense without harming the economy. He cited 38 billion dollars for defense through fiscal 1958 as a limit, warning against substantial increases. He noted the current strength could sustain a small war or an atomic conflict in its early stages and said he would not want the budget significantly reduced from its present level.

Army Pushes Five to Six Month National Guard Training Plan
Brig. Gen. Creighton W. Abrams testified before a House Armed Services subcommittee that eight weeks of full time duty can equal two years of drills and camps for training value. He urged six months of active duty training for all new National Guard enlistees, noting current readiness with about 20 percent trained on active duty. The Army argues reserve units need 20 to 34 weeks to form a trained division from undertrained personnel. The Guard contends three months could suffice for training.
