Sented a balance between security
needs in the light of our foreign
policy and the economic and fiscal
problems facing us domestically.
In the 1850 budget, emphasis was
given to air power and the procure
ment of newly developed weapons
with which to re-equip and modern
ize our military forces. Similar EN-
phasis was given to research and
development, to industrial mobiliza-
ton, to reserve forces. and to the
integration of operations within the
three services. The defense program
was designed to be flexible, not rigid.
1t was drawn up so that changes
in the international situation, in
technology, and in the domestic
economy could be reflected in our
defense preparations.
Air Force Increase Criticized.
Action at this time by the Con-
gresS in increasing authorizations
for the Air Force by over $6l5, 5,000, 900
could have a serious effect on our
ability to maintain balanced mill
tary forces in subsequent years. Al
though these increased authoriza-
tions would have comparatively little
effect upon military expenditures in
the current fiscal year, the fact that
they are largely for the procure
ment of aircraft would have a seri-
GUS effect on expenditures in the
future. AS additional aircraft au-
thorized by this act were delivered,
We should have to make correspond
ing provisions for additional per-
sonnel to man them, for higher
maintenance and operating costs,
and for greater replacement costs.
The present authorization for in
creased procurement would thus be
merely the first step in an expand
ing program which would have to
be supported by greatly increased
appropriations in future years.
Furthermore. the programs pro-
vided in the budget were based on
national defense plans in which
our air, naval and land forces were
planned and operated under a uni
fed strategic concept. Expansion
of one service beyond the planned
level would require the re-evaluation
of that concept. To build up the
strength OF the other services so
that they could complement ana
support an expanded Air Force
would require additional very large
appropriations.
Sees Confusion and Waste.
1t is obviously impossible for the
Department of Defense to plan and
operate efficiently if there are to be
widely f1uctuating appropriations
and programs. Rapid contractions
or expansions inevitably result in
confusion and waste.
Increasing the structure of the
Air Force above that recommended
in the 1850 budget would be in
consistent with a realistic and bal
anced security program which we
can support in peacetime and would
interfere with orderly planning
for the three services based on
unified strategic concept.
I am therefore directing the Sec
retary of Defense to place in reserve
the amounts provided by the Con-
gress in H. r. 4146 for increasing the
structure of the Air Force.

some form of sovereignty is not
given them. The Dutch also are
under heavy pressure of world
opinion and from the United Ma
tions to settle the Indonesian
question peaceably.
The Dutch have recognized this.
But they still hope to keep the
new republic in close union, at
least economically, with Holland.
They have promised in the past
to put the USI on an equal foot
ing within her sphere of influence.
Just before the talks. however,
H. j. van Royen, former chair
man of the Dutch delegation to
the U. N. Security Council, said
the Dutch are prepared to yield
complete and unconditional SOW
ereignty to Indonesia.
Past settlements of the bite,

started when the Dutch regainec
the islands from the Japanese in.
vaderS at the end of the Pacific
war, have repeatedly broken
down.
But the drafting and signing
of constitution frightened hopes
that this time their agreements
would stick.
Concluding talks will be held tc
settle arrangements by which the
Dutch will be compensated finan-
cially for the loss of her rich hold
ings. The islands are major ex-
porters OF rubber, tin, iron, oil

Azores Crash Victims
Identified as Probers
Study Plane Wreck
BY the Associated Press

PONTA DELGADA, Sac Miguel,
The Azores, Oct. 29.-Rescue
workers today began identifying
the burned and broken bodies of
48 victims killed in the crash of
an Air France Constellation.
The plane plunged into noun
tainside yesterday. 1t was bound
from Paris to New York.
A French technical mission also
was at work, trying to determine
the cause of the crash. Boxer
Marcel Cerdan, Violinist Ginette
Neveu and Painter Bernard Bou-
tet de Monvel were among those
killed. There were no survivors.
The body of 28-year-old Miss
Neveu. one of Frances greatest
women musicians, was one of
those so far identified.
Another early report from the
crash scene said the body of one
OF the pilots had been found al
most intact. his arm thrown up
as if to ward off a blow.
Details Arrive Slowly.
Details were slow in arriving
from the remote spot of the
disaster. high on Sac Miguel
Islands highest rocky peak, near
the village of Algarvia. But first
reports confirmed that the plane
crashed into Pico Redondo at 3
am. yesterday 90 pm. EST
Thursday. 10 minutes after it
sent its last message to Santa
Maria airport, 81 miles south of
the crash scene.
The plane then said it would
land at Santa Maria for refueling
in five minutes.
Shepherds in the Algarvia area
said they heard the sound of
engines overhead, above the east
coast Of the island. Suddenly
the sound was cut off, they said,
and IN the distance they saw
brilliant light in the sky. Then
they heard a crash. This same
report came from many surround
ing villages.
Peasants from surrounding
hamlets who set out for the wreck
on the high peak were hampered
by rain and fog.
Meanwhile, Santa Maria Air
port had alerted two coastal
patrol ships. and IL planes from
the United States Army air base
at Lajens. One of these Army
planes was the first to sight the
wrecked Constellation. still afire.
Rescue parties, with doctors,
stretchers and radio equipment,
already were on the way.
When the rescuers reached the
crash site, the twisted ruins of the
big airliner were still smoldering.
Some bodies were still in the
wreckage and others were scat
tered for 500 yards around along
with bits of jewelry and personal
property. Many of the bodies
were unreeognizable.
The bodies and articles from
the wreck were being brought to
the church at Algarvia. Louis
Mirepoix, French civil aviation in
spector. was directing the investi-
CATION of the crash.
The dead in the crash included
81 passengers-1l of them Ameri-
cans-and IL crew members.
Cerdan. former worlds middle
weight champion, was on his way
to New York for return title
match with Jake La Motta, who
took the title from him last June.
Louis Boutet de Monvel, one of
the 48 killed in the crash, was the
son Of the famous French painter.
Louis Maurice Boutet de Monvel,
whose noted series of six paintings
Of Joan of Arc are included in the
Clark Collection at the Corcoran
Gallery of Art, and recently were
reproduced in Life magazine.

recommendations, tolloUS:
I have signed H. r. 4146, bill
making appropriations for the Ma
tional Security Council, the Ma
tional Security Resources Board
and the military functions admins
tered by the Department of Defense
for the fiscal year ending June 20,
1850.
The amounts provided in this bill
for most of the components Of our
defense program will permit opera
tions at the approximate levels con-
templated in the original 1850 bud
get recommendations. For one item,
however. sharp increase in au-
thorizations provided by the Con-
| gress represents major shift in
the direction and emphasis of our
defense program. If fully utilized,
this increased authorization would
result in a serious lack of balance
in our defense program and would
require much heavier expenditures
in the future than We now contem-
plate.
Air Force Increase Cited.
i This increased authorization Is
largely for an expanded structure
for the Air Force. In ALL, the Con-
gress has increased authorizations
for the Air Force by more than
s615 100000 above 1850 budget
recommendations.
The significance Of this change
cannot be measured solely from the
standpoint of the Air Force or of
the Department of Defense. Rather,
it must be viewed in the light of
total national policies and it must
be evaluated in terms of our present
commitments.
The defense program submitted
last January was the result of an
exhaustive examination of all the
programs of the Federal Govern
ment. At that time. painstaking
consideration was given to our re-
quirement for national security
and the effect Of large military ex-
penditures upon our economy.
Our objective was to plan a de-
fense structure which could both
meet our security needs and be
supported by the country without
imposing too great strain on the
domestic economy. Careful account
also was taken of this Nations posi-
ton in the world.
Since the end Of World War II
we have been devoting a substantial
portion of our resources to the de-
velopment of a peaceful and stable
world through economic assistance
to other free nations Our aid has
been a major contribution toward
world stability and has been instru-
mental in lessening world tension.
However, my recommendations rec
ognized the fact that, under existing
international conditions, a relatively
high level of military preparedness
must be maintained for a number
of years to come.
