Forrestal To
Back 66 Group
Air Force Plan
WASHINGTON, April 2 fIV-HeereUry Forrestal aald today MU
group air force would give the United HUlet "the beat military result
If our budget la to be limited." He added he has decided military spend
Ing ahould be limited.
The aeereUry of defense testified to a senate approprlaUon sub
committee In a new round of congressional heaiinga on the M vs. 7
group air force controversy.
Forrestal said that "aa a military matter" both he and the Joint
chlefa of staff would support a 70-rroup force, but that factors other
than military also must be considered.
He went on:
"After taklnr into account all consideration fiscal, economle and
all others, a well aa military I have reached the conclusion that aa
overall program for the services calling for an additional 4,481,000,OW
will give us the maximum "tin
for the military tax dollar."
The (4.481.000.000 would be In ad
dition to about (11.000.000.000 prev
iously asked for military purposes
in the 12 months beginning July 1.
House Vote
The house already ha voted for
a 70-group air force program. The
senate subcommittee is holding
hearings on a (3.198.000.000 house
passed appropriation bill designed
to get Uie 70-group program under
way. Additional millions would have
to be voted later to complete It.
Forrestal original defense pro
gram called for only 55 groups.
There was a clamor from air offic
ers and some congress members for
a 70-group air force. Later For
restal compromised on 68 groups.
Opposing a 70-group force, For
restal argues it Is necessary to keep
a "balance" among air forces, army
and navy.
Forrestal was among Uie military
leaders who pleaded at a locked
door session of another senate body
last week for stepped up action on
President Truman's whole defense
program. It calls for a draft revival,
for universal military training and
for more money to build up Uie
army, navy and air force.
"For my responsibility," Forrestal
asserted at one point, "I regard
every day as critical."
The testimony was given in secret
last Wednesday to Uie armed serv
ices committee. It was made public
over Uie week-end after many scis
sored deletions had been made In
Uie 339-page typewritten transcript.
