Daily's U-Driva Medford Airport Financing Defense To Dominate 1959 Congressional Talk By Congressional Quarterly Washington- (CQ) -Can we afford NOT to spend more for defense? This question, raised with increasing frequency since 1956, will dominate debate in Congress over military affairs in 1959. President Eisenhower is now expected to place a ceil ing of $41.5 billion on de fense spending in fiscal I960, which begins next July 1. That is little more than the $41 billion likely to be spent in fiscal 1959. To stay within this ceiling, the Defense Department has little choice but to cut back on some programs in order to meet the rising costs of others. Obituaries RALPH W.

No dance Christmas Night due to circum stances beyond our control. IDAM(DIE Since Congress is already un happy over such obvious gaps as the lack of adequate air lift for the Army, the risks entailed in additional cut backs are bound to be ques tioned. . " : One year ago, for example, Secretary of Defense Neil Mc Elroy was under pressure to eliminate one of two compet ing intermediate range ballis tic missiles, Thor and Jupiter. Now there is talk of dropping both IRBM s in the anticipa tion that Atlas, the first ICBM, will be ready at an early date. The Navy is having its troubles, too. With all of its hopes riding on the enormous ly expensive Polaris, it is hav ing not only to forego a sec ond atomic carrier but to drop such weapons-in-being as Re gulus II, the guided missile fired successfully Dec. 10 from a surface ship and already launched from submarines. The trouble with these and other decisions is that many experts question the nation's preparedness during the per iod-estimated as five or more years before such ultimate weapons as Polaris . and the Air Force's Minuteman can be deployed as sure-fire deter rents. i Small War Capacity A second area 'of concern is the capacity of the services particularly the Army and the Marine Corps for dealing with so-called "brush-fires" or small wars in remote regions. The Defense Department re cently reinstated its order to the armed forces to reduce total military manpower to 2,525,000 by June 30, 1959. This means the Army must get down to 870,000 and the Marines to 175,000, although Congress went out of its way in 195l8 to provide funds for a 900,000-man Army and a 200,000-man Marine Corps. . The adequacy of the ground forces' equipment and mobil ity, no less than their size, is at issue. Gen. Maxwell Taylor, Army Chief of Staff, has rec ommended spending $3 billion a year for five years to re equip his fighting men, now reduced to 14 divisions. That is about double the amount now available for major pro curement. .' The question of airlift is also slated for further review in 1959. Gen. Nathan F. Twin ing, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has acknowl edged that "we could have just about one division, with out the heavy equipment," by air. But the Chiefs, limited by the Administration in what they can buy, have concluded that this is "adequate" to the needs. - , What may or may not be adequate in an undertaking as complex, far-flung and huge as . the , defense . program is largely a matter of judgment, in which the responsible civil ian and military officials hold a distinct advantage over most members of congress, not to mention the public. . But doubt in the adequacy of the present effort has been reinforced by such independ ent studies as the Gaither and Rockefeller- reports, which called for. 'sharply increased defense spending. And on the closely-associated issue of abil ity to pay, studies by such groups as the National Plan ning Association and the Com mittee for Economic Develop ment have tended to refute the President's view that the economy can't bear a heavier tax load. ' Congress is not about to in crease taxes in 1959. But it is more than likely to appro priate more than the Presi dent asks for the defense pro gram. Whether the extra funds will be spent is another matter, however. The Admin istration, plagued by a $12 billion deficit this year, is shooting for a balanced budget in fiscal 1961. Barring a sharp and unexpected reversal in attitudes ' any extra money voted in 1959 for the defense program will wind up like the extra $826 million provided in 1958 - frozen in the Treas ury on orders of the Budget Bureau.
