Senate Group to Ask
Raise in Navy Fund
WASHINGTON W) Mem
bers of the Senate Appropriations
Committee have decided to recom
mend a $177,000,000 hike in
House-voted new funds for the
Navy during the 1948 fiscal year
starting July 1.
. The House had .pared $370,000,
000 off the Navy's spending esti
mate of around $4,033,000,000.
Chairman Saltonstall (R-Mass)
of the Senate Appropriations sub
committee which reviewed the
House action said the recommen
ded restoration of funds would
permit the Navy to keep 43,000 of
ficers, instead of 42,000 and 395,
000 enlisted men instead of 355,
000. Other increases compared with
the totals possible under the
House bill, he said, would include
265 major combatant ships fully
manned and 28 with reduced
crews against 249 and 20, and
5,793 aircraft against 5,541,
Chairman Bridges of the full
committee told reporters the in
creases are acceptable to him and
that the changes will "assure an
active and well-manned Navy."
