Symington AssaiIs
And Flanders Defends
Wilson on Air Cuts
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

The smoldering congressional
dispute over Air Force cutbacks
flared anew today. with the truth
of some Of Secretary Of Defense
Wilson's statements being at
tackled and defended.
Senator Symington, Democrat,
Of Missouri. former Secretary
Of the Air Force. suggested indi-
rectly last night that Mr.. Wilson
was not telling Congress the
truth about the strength Of the
Soviet Air Force.
Senator Flanders, Republican,
of Vermont. urging Congress to
hear the whole story before
choosing sides, said Mr.. Wilson
is "just being honest with what
we've got"
Says Testimony Conflicts.
Senator Symington told tele-
vision interviewers that Mr.. Will
sons testimony before the Sem
ate Appropriations Committee
conflicted in part with that of
Gen. Bradley, chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. The SEN
ator said he has asked that the
two appear before the Senate
Armed Services Committee, of
which he is member, Ito see
who was telling the truth"
He added Gen. Bradley "as-
Sured me it was his custom to
tell the truth"
Senator Symington has bitter
ly criticized Mr.. Wilson's pro-
posed SIS billion cut in Air Force
funds for the year starting
July /.
Flanders Explains.
Senator Flanders, appearing in
another radio-TV debate, argued
that in lowering the Air Force
goal for 1855 from 143 wings to
4zU wings:
THE point Wilson is making
is that the rate at which we can
build a 143-wing Air Force with
out going on a war basis. is
limited. If we have larger de-
tense appropriations, we will
have to have higher taxes or in
flation"
Chairman saltonstan of the
Senate Armed Services Commit
tee backed up Senator Flanders
in the debate. while Senator Hill.
Democrat. of Alabama, and
Representative Mahon, DEM
ocrat, of Texas criticized the Air
Force cutbacks.
