OF the need for unobligated bal.
ances from prior years.
Says Balancing Is Impossible.
The Virginian said the Presi-
dent has submitted a 1853 budget
that would not be balanced. even
II Congress granted Mr.. Truman's
request for another $4.3 billion tai
bill. on top of the SIS billion ir
new taxes imposed in the last Ia
months. q
ut does not suffice completely
to blame his failure even to pro-
pose a balanced budget on the wal
emergency" said Senator Byrd
He did the same thing in Janu-
airy, 1850. when he submitted q
strictly peacetime budget"
Even the $8.6 billion reduction
outlined by Senator Byrd, to bring
the 1858 budget down to $76.s
billion would not balance the
budget, unless existing tax rates
produce more than recent esti-
mates of ST. billion.
IF we had sympathetic lead
ership by the Chief Executive
and assistance of his administra-
tion." Senator Byrd continued
these reductions could be en-
llarged to achieve a balanced
budget. while reaching the same
degree Of preparedness and pro-
Ividing for all other essential func-
tions. But we have neither"
Long Period Involved.
Senator Byrd recalled that Gen.
Eisenhower has told Congress
that we might expect the pres
sure Of Communist aggressiveness
for 20 years." For that reason
he said, high military expendi-
lures will be required for a pro-
llonged period.

By the Associated Press

A sampllng of Senate opinion
indicated today Democrats art
sharply divided on whether Presi.
dent Truman should run again.
Mr.. Truman's statement at 6
news conference yesterday thai
he faces a difficult decision
emphasized the uncertainty with.
/ in his party about his future
plans. He is generally credited
with being able to get the nomi.
nation if he wants it.
The Presidents statement
which was coupled with the fiat
assertion that he had had his last
say on the matter until he was
ready with an announcement
caused some surprise in view OF
the fact that he has said before
that he has made up his mind.
OF nine Democratic Senators
interviewed two said the President
ought to run again, one called
him ''the most logical candidate, .
two said he shouldn't seek the
nomination, two predicted he
won't run, one said he preferred
Senator Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia and one wouldn't COM
ment. There are so Democrats in
the Senate.
Among Republicans, Senator
Martin of Pennsylvania said he
hopes Truman runs so as to draw
the issues sharply in the campaign
but Senator Bridges of New Hamp-
shire said it doesn't make much
diference-that the Republicans
are going to win anyway.
Senators Lehman, Democrat
Liberal, of New York and Murray,
Democrat, of Montana, who like
to be classed in what they call the
liberal" wing of the party said
Evening star., 1952-02-15
Democratic Senators Divided
on Truman Candidacy

they want the President to run
again.
II am in thorough sympathy
with the Presidents domestic and
foreign policies" Senator Lehman
said. "He typif1es those policies
better than any other Democrat
! nope at the same time he takes
vigorous steps to wipe out corrup-
ton in Government and punish
the guilty."
Senator Murray said the Demo-
Gratis can't afford to discard Mr.
Truman's experience and back
ground" in such troubled times.
Senator Kerr. Democrat, of Ok
lahoma. who would like to have
the nomination If Mr.. Truman
doesn't seek it, said he regards the
President as the party's most logi-
cal candidate"
However, Carl Rice, Kansas
Democratic National Committee
man who conferred with Senator
Kerr, said he is going to continue
to plug the Oklahoma Democrat as
second choice to the President.
Thinks Truman Should Retire.
Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa, who doesn't go along with
the recent action of the Midwest
ern Democratic conference in urg-
ing the President to run again,
said if he were in Mr.. Truman's
place he would retire at the end
of his present term.
Although the President is ex-
empted from the restrictions of
the two-term amendment to the
constitution, If I were in his place
I would observe the spirit of that
amendment and not run again, I"
Senator Gillette said.

defense budget for 1858, it vii
have q clearer picture than evel
before Of why this country doe
mot have more new planes and
iother weapons available today
from the billions appropriated ii
the last two years.
| Defense officials have gone ts

lpressiVe array Of charts and ex-
hibits to show how new scientifie

World War II have revolutionizeC

1.-THE military leaders are striving
for quality as well as quantity, 81
THE American fighting man vii
have all the protection moderr
science can give him.
New Tools Required.
New scientific discoveries alss
call for new machine tools tt
start the assembly lines rolling or
q mass production basis.
That is why much Of the money
appropriated for national defenst
in fiscal years 1851 and 1852 viii
not be spent until 1853. It ex:
plains why Government spending
which totaled $44.6 billion In thu
year ended last June, will reach
$71 billion this year and will zoon
to $85 billion In 1853.
Weapons are paid for when de.
livered, and assembly lines are nov
beginning to roll faster on planes
tanks and guns that have beer
in the drawing board stage Sinct
the defense buildup started.
The value OF the data Just pre-.
Isented to Chairman O'Mahoney':
Senate subcommittee on Armee
Services Appropriations by De.
tense Secretary Lovett and hi.
aides lies in the fact that it ha.
reduced these broad general an.
swers to specific illustrations that
the man in the street can under
stand.
Step-Up I'm Standards.
Take, for example. a typical
| fighter plane. In World War 4
lit had a combat weight Of $500
pounds. maximum power Of 1,50(
thrust horsepower: speed. from
400 to 500 miles per hour, and
climb, $4,000 feet.
It's present-day counterpart has:
Combat weight, $4,000 pounds;
maximum power, more than 5000
thrust horsepower; speed, 600 to
700 miles per hour. and altitude,
more than $4,000 feet.
There has been a great deal OF
public discussion of the increased
cost Of these modern planes and
guns, part of which is due entirely
to the rise in general level OF
prices, but there has been very
little public conception Of the
time factors in getting new
weapons into production, due to
the application of new scientific
discoveries.
For example, one Of the charts
presented to the Senator's by the
Air Force shows that, in World
War II, it took a total of Al $3.50
direct engineering man hours, up
to the first flight Of a typical
fighter plane. Today it takes
1,131 1892 engineering man hours
to bring a new fighter plane up

drawings Today 1t takes 6,572
drawings to perfect fighter
type plane.
The total engineering man
hours In this chart include
odynamics. wind tunnel tests.
stress. detail design, fight test,
research and miscellaneous.
The biggest factors in the In
creased number Of engineering
man hours required to develop
the latest types have been:
In aerodynamics, from 600
hours In World War II to 1880
hours now,
In flight test. from 725 engi-
|1eering man hours in World
War II, to 84,8l7 hours now.
The miscellaneous factors have
gone up from $50 engineering
man hours 10 years ago, to l09,-
|681 hours now.
The electrical system offers an
other striking comparison. In
World War II 8 typical fighter
plane had SIS wires, totaline
1,545 feet. Today q modern
fighter has $500 wires totaline
F22.916 feet.
To build the hrst $40 air-frames
|of q new fighter plane in 1912.
the unit cost was $26,741. The
unit cost Of the same number Of 4
typical present-day fighter was
given as $179,309. This does not
include the engines. II
30 AF Wings Today.
The Air Force today has 90
wings. It got appropriations in
1881 to start the build-up to 95
wings and the new 1858 budget
contemplates further build-up
to 126 combat wings, plus II troop
carrier groups.
Answering the question as to
why the Air Force hasn't been
able to get new planes more
quickly. Air Force Secretary Fin
letter told the Senator's the 18
months Of expected lead time be-
tween appropriation and delivery
lis on the low side. He said his
view is that the average lead time
for building combat planes and
heavy transports is nearer a
months than 18. In other words.
he said, the Air Force did not
expect to get the planes rolling
of the production lines in quantity
by this time.
Senator Ferguson. Republican,
OF Michigan asked Secretary Fin
letter five have reason to believe
the MIG Russian fighter is using
a similar amount Of time and ma
terial.
The Secretary said probably not
as much electronically," but he
added. After all. the MIG is a
good plane because of its engine,
and the engine is a very good one."
Questioned on Lower Quality.
Mr.. Finletter told the Senators
he hears these questions asked:
Aren't we putting too many
gadgets in our planes? Aren't we
loading them up with too many
complicated and expensive instru-
ments? Wouldn't it be better to
have greater number OF less high
quality aircraft?" s.7 =
The Air Secretary said it would
be a dangerous policy to rely on
numbers rather than quality. He
said:

Plans for Releasing
Organized Reseryisis
Announced L by Army

Plans for the release Of officers
and enlisted members OF the
Army Organized Reserve Corps
and National Guard units who
were ordered into active service
with their units were announced
today by the Army.
Except for those serving in Ma
|tional Guard anti-aircraft units
enlisted members Of the reserve
|cOmponents who are serving or
active duty inyoluntarily for 24
months will be released durins
the period commencing with ths
goth and ending in the 24tf
month Of. their active service
They will be released in approx.
mately equal monthly increments
At the same time, the Army
said all National Guard anti-air.
craft artillery battalions would be
released as units.
Release Date Specified.
The Universal Military Trainins
and Service Act directs the re.
lease of the Reservists and Guards.
men not later than the date they
complete "a months service unles.
they voluntarily remain for q
longer period.
The Army said releasing the
enlisted Reservists as planned
would permit integration of re-
placements into units in an or
|derly manner with a minimum
impact on unit effectiveness. The
releases will begin in March fol
personnel in the first units ordered
into Federal service in August
1850.
The Army said the release and
replacement of Reserve officers
presented more serious problems
"The majority of these officers
will be required to complete the
greater portion of their "a months
active service on current tour and
in many cases it will be necessary
to retain them for the full "a
months" the announcement
stated.
Must Serve 20 Months.
I'm some cases, in order to
avoid the sudden impact Of toe
many losses at the same time, the
release of officers in a particular
unit may be commenced somewhat
earlier. but in no event will they
be released prior to their 10th
month of active service"
In determining the sequeDce
for releasing personnel, the gov
erning factors will be the main
tenance of unit effectiveness and
availability Of trained replace
!.
Return of the anti-aircraft units
will begin in April with several
being released each month until
all have been returned to home
stations by May Of 1858.
AS each unit is returned to State
control, a new unit will be acti-
waited in its place.
The first National Guard divi-
sions to be affected by the pro-
gram will be the 10th and 45th,
now in the Far East, and the 28th
and 43d divisions now stationed
in Europe.
