AIR PROGRAM COST
TO Be HELD DOWN
Coolidge Against Increase if
Deficit Will Be Caused
at Treasury.

There IL little likelihood Of the Gov.
errment Increasing the cost OF the
Army and Navy air services for
the next year because OF President
Coolidges insistence that Congress
should keep down appropriations so
as to avert a deficit In the national
Treasury before the end Of the next
fiscal year
This Is the belief Of Congre ssiona'
leaders who are sponsoring legisla.
tion looking toward the DEVELOPMENT
nf these services who have recently
discussed the matter at the White
House. They doubt very much IL
the Army air hill will authorize an
expenditure greatly in excess Of the
appropriation for the present year.
and it is doubted if the Navy will
fare much better.
The Presidents most recent confer.
ence regarding this item OF govern
mental expense was held at the
White House today with Sena Tor
Wadsworth of New York. .chairma n
Of the Senate military committee. He
told the President that the time has
arrived for the Senate to start con-
sidering the matter of air develop
desirous OF learning directly from
the President just what his views are
regarding the proposal to spend $40.-
900 900 annually for Ave years for
the purpose. After discussing the
various features involved ,he New
York Senator went away without any
doubt in his mind as to the Presi-
dents position.
The five-year air program for the
Army provides for 800 new planes
and a personnel Of 1.oI4 officers. an
increase Of 4O3 over the present num-
her, and $1,000 enlisted men. an in
crease Of 6.a00. This program Is CON
tained In the bill as II passed the
House. and is now ready for the Sen
ate to consider.
Senator Wadsworth said the cutting
will he done first in the matter of men
and officers. When this has been &C.
complished the remainder of the bill
can be reduced accordingly. He sug.
gested that it might be possible that
the bill when II pa sses the Senate will
authorize the appropriation for the In.
crease In planes. but will extend the
program, possibly to 10 years instead
Of 5.
This may meet the Presidents an
proval. but 1t is known that Army of.
ficers who are familiar with the sub
ject contend that this Is not desired.
because the whole situation regarding
aviation may completely change i'm 10
