Navy May Get Most
|0f Money L Seeks
For Men and Planes
BY The Assat;died Press

Senate Appropriations COM
|mittee Republicans are consid-
ering a plan to give the Navy
most of the money it asked for
men and planes while still cut
ting deeper than the $377 SOC, 900
slash voted by the House.
A committee member disclosed the
plan privately today after the group
heard Secretary Forrestal contend
Yesterday that cut in the Nays
strength would be interpreted abroad
as sign that this country intends
to retreat from our international
obligations and commitments"
The budget pIan-still in the dis
cussion stages said to involve a
sharp cutback in the Nays $780,
600, 900 carryover funds from pre-
vious appropriations.
Larger Than House Cut.
This would effect an overall cut
in President Truman's budget even
larger than approved by the House,
/ but would meet the demands OF Sec
lretary Forrestal and other officials
that the air and surface fleets are
kept up to par as security measure
in still deeply troubled world.
It was understood that the pro-
posed reductions would reach into
many carryover funds, with shore
base construction feeling one OF the
heaviest blows.
Mr.. Forrestal told a subcommittee
headed by Senator Saltonstall, Re-
publican, of Massachusetts, yesterday
that a House slash of $94, 4,171 900 in
the Navy's pay and subsistence fund
would force a reduction in enlisted
strength to $4,000, instead of the
425, 900 contemplated in the Presi-
dents $1,240, 900, 900 request for this
category.
Even if the whole fund were re-
stored, the cabinet member said, the
Navy has found that it can maintain
its strength at only 100000 men in
the year beginning July /, dropping
to 375,000 a year later.
| Protests Drastic Slash.
IT must protest against this dras-
tic reduction in the critical area
of military personnel Secretary
Forrestal said. "In my opinion,
nothing less than full restoration of
the Navy's budget request under the
appropriation pay and subsistence
can be considered adequate to meet
the Nations needs"
Mr.. Forrestal said the House Ap-
propriations Committee apparently
had made an "error" in believing
that the reduced amount it granted
would support a Navy OF 395, ,000
men and $4,000 officers.
The Secretary said that if the
House cuts stand, planned aircraft
Operating strength of the Navy

the gliding operation.
