mittee with a total of 15.9 billion'
dollars instead of .15.8 billion and it
■remains to be seen just what fhej
upper house can do in slashing the|
measure. This bill is the largest of'
all the appropriation bills and is 1
more than a third of the total ap-'
propriations for all purpses. Sena-
; tors Wherry of Nebraska, Edwin
Johnson of Colorado, Alexander
; Wiley of Wisconsin and, of course,
Harry Byrd of Virginia, all have,
forecast large cuts in the military I
budget. It must be approved and
signed by the President by July 1.
According to observers here, sev-'
eral factors stand in the way of anyi
sizeable cuts. First, the unification j
of the armed services has disap-1
I pointingly failed to bring about any,
sizeable reductions in 4 expenses, j
Second, both houses voted last year!
almost unanimously for a 70-group
air force. Truman has asked for a I
48-group air force. The house upped |
this figure to 59 groups.
On top of this, the house has just I
voted through without too much ap
position a service pay bill which will
boost by $300,000,000 a year the pay
for all members of the armed serv
ices. And on top of this, congress is'
expected to receive within a short
time the President’s request for mil- j
Itary assistance to the eight coun-l
tries of the Atlantic Pact, in addi- 1
tion to Greece and Turkey. It is ex
pected that he will ask for an ap
propriation of $1,450,000,000 for this
purpose.
It is pointed out in administration
circles that the proposed military
aid program is a complement to the
Atlantic Pact and is based on the
same principles to carry out the
policy to strengthen fredom-loving
nations against dangers of agre»-
sion. These countries have made
formal requests to the United States
for this aid and the executive
branch of the government believes
such aid will (1) balance their de
fense efforts with equipment they
cannot produce themselves; (2) help
integrate their planning and make
their production more economical
and effective and (3) increase,
through use of marginal facilities
now inactive in their area, the rate
of their military production by an
estimated equivalent of several
hundred million dollars without en
dangering economic recovery.
Washington observers here have
noted with interest a letter signed
'by Donald D. Conn, executive vice-
president of the Transportation As
sociation of America and sent to farm
trade and civic organizations, in
which he makes the direct charge
that the anti-trust division of the
department of justice to recover two
and a half billion dollars in alleged
overcharges on wartime traffic hand
led by the railroads is a move to
force iptionalization of all trans
portation.
“There is far more involved in
these suits than the mere legal ad
judication as to whether a rate
agreed upon at the time was or was
not reasonable,’’ Mr. Conn said.”
“Why, now, would the anti-trust
division propose 'to repudiate such
(wartime) agreements? Who planned
such attacks? 'What is the motive?
What is the ultimate objective of
these suits?
“If a bill to nationalize all trans
portation were introduced in con
gress, it would be dealt with in sum
mary fashion, by unanimous oppo
sition of all enterprise. Just as grave
in its* implications is the assault of
the anti-trust division of the de
partment of justice against the rail
roads for recovery of two and a half
billion dollars in alleged overcharges
on wartime shipments.”
