A senate-house conference com mittee was expected to act swiftly to compromise minor differences in ' Uie bill previously passed by a 343 to 3 vote In the house. The measure then will go to the White House where favorable action seems likely despite the $822,000,000 added to Mr. Truman's original request. 70-Group Force This was the money tacked on to assure a start toward Uie 70-group air force rather than the 55 groupa first planned of the 66-group com promise put forward by Secretary of Defense Forrestal in his plea for a "balanced" military expansion.

The air force said the new funda will provide 243 bombers, 1575 Jet fighters and 909 reconnaissance, transport, training, rescue and liaison aircraft by 1953.
