War Threat
Greater Army
Plans To Call
100000 Men
Congress Warned By
Military Chiefs Dan
ger Is Increasing And
Say Billions More In
Cash Also Needed.

WASHINGTON - Military chiefs
have warned Congress the danger
of about war is increasing, and
the Army alone plans to call uu
100000 possibly mOre-With-
in the next ~ months.
Also, they plan to add billions
more to the skyscraping $50, 679.-
100000 military budget already
proposed to Congress for this year.
Just how many billions they don't
know yet.
The 100000 new men will be
needed simply to replace others,
mostly reservists, who will be re-
leased from active duty during
1852 despite the mounting defense
build-up. A hike in total manpow-
er would increase the draft rate.
All this was disclosed in testi-
mony by Defense Secretary Mar
shall, Army Secretary Pace, and
others to a House Military ApprO-
priatiOns subcommittee.
Their views, given secretly in re-
cent weeks, were released after the
record was censored for security
reasons.
The proposed $500, SIS, 900, 600
budget for the year which began
July I would be Is times the mill
ttary budget Of only two years
ago, before the Korean War out
break. The budget for the year
ending June 30 was S4s, 1926, 900 600
Highlights in the 1000 pages Of
testimony:
Marshall was asked, in view
Of the huge budget, whether the
