Cut Of 1917 Asked
In District Budget
Estimates for 1855
Agency Heads Upset
By Ediet to Trim Figures
Under Current Levels
By John w. Stepp

The Commissioners have asked
District Government department
heads to prepare fiscal 1855
budget estimates based on 10
per cent cut of current appro-
priations, it was learned today.
The request, embodied in a
memorandum circulated la t
Monday, has the agency heads
upset. A Budget Office official
said the worry is needless.
Gall we have asked them to
do," the spokesman declared, "is
to prepare a statement of priori-
ties of items they think they can
best cut out, up to 10 per cent of
the current appropriations"
Seen as Example.
Best guess on the move was
that the city heads want to get
together the rather dreary pic
ture of the limited improve
ments the District could afford
if the budget were whacked
down SAT million less than the
$147 million figure of fiscal 1854.
On this 10 per cent cut basis,
the budget official explained, the
Commissioners can get a better
idea of how Federal payment will
be required for the next fiscal
year.
The Commissioners, assuming
a 1855 budget figure close to that
OF the current year, would also be
able to put the city'S proposed
1882 million eight-year public
works improvement program into
its proper perspective.
Surplus Going Down.
City budget officials have be-
fore them the specter of dimin-
ishing revenues the next fiscal
year, on top of other considera-
tionS.
"Our surplus has been going
down." one spokesman said. "It
appears that next year it will be
severely reduced-about $40 mil
lion less than last years reduc-
tion, he explained. is partly the
result of police, fireman and
teachers pay raises, as well as a
''leveling off" of such revenues
as the sales tax.
But. as for the memo that
went the rounds last Monday,
the budget official declared: "It
looks as if we're going to do
something to the departments
that we're not really going
to do"
One Comment: Brutal"
One agency chief expressed
his reaction to the memo in
these desperate words: ut is
brutal"
This official pointed out that,
aside from the budget cuts that
must be made to meet the Com
missioners' request, cts physi-
cally impossible to get the
figures ready by next week, ="
when the city heads will begin
their closed hearings on 1855
budget estimates.
Until now, the departmental
estimates were believed to total
close to $185 million.

Legion Foctions Set for Floor Fight Over
Air Force Budget Cut. Poge A-3

Mr.. Wilson said the Korean
invasion brought home to the
people the realities of the situa-
ton that exists in the world to-
day.
"Since our military strength
over a period of years is so de-
pendent on the economic strength
of the Nation" he said, "it is
especially important in our mil
itary effort that we develop the
best possible military plans and
that we organize our military
efforts for maximum effective
ness and efficiency over a period
of years."
In this way" Mr.. Wilson said,
I'VE will get more military
strength for the effort we make
and the dollars we spend"
Mr.. Wilson gave the Legion
naireS what he called a six
months progress report" on De-
tense Department activities.
He said there has been con
siderable discussion and some
criticism" of the current Air
Force program, largely because
the money planning, the per-
Sonnel planning and the air.
craft production planning were
not in balance and the facts
were not we'll understood.

Wilson Says u. S. Armed Powe,
Must Never Decline Again
Best Possible Military Plans Must Be
Developed, He Tells Leeionnores

1.-THE current effective COM
bat strength of our Air Force is
building up rapidly and will
continue to do so," he said.
Mr.. Wilson asserted that this
country must continue to have
air power second to none"
The criticism he referred to
has come from the administra-
tion's IS billion cut in the Air
Force budget and a reduction
from 143 to 100 wings in the
Air Force.
Mr.. Wilson, who presented to
the Legion the Defense Depart
ment's meritorious award for
exceptional and outstanding
service, termed the departments s
reorganization plan IAN essential
piece of progress" He said it
has greatly strengthened the
department for efficient and
effective operation"
He said the reduced budget fol
fiscal 1854 anticipated progress
in making intelligent savings
and in improving the effective
ness of the entire defense organ
ization."
AS to plans for budget requests
for fiscal 1855, Mr.. Wilson said
1--WE hope to continue to build
up the Nations military strength
particularly air power and air
defense, while at the same time
making progress in reducing ex-
penditures.
This will be done" he said,
through developing new stra-
tegic plans and objectives, giving
proper weight to new weapons
and equipment and by continu-
ing to make intelligent savings,
especially through the better
organization and utilization of
manpower.
