that there were no mitigating

Senate Unit Reports
Military Fund Saving
BY the Associosed Press

~ HS HSSoCiOteo PfoSS
A three-man Senate group has
reported it was able to cut 1858
million from the cost of building
air bases and other military in
stallationS while approving a
$489 million program for which
Congress did not have to grant
new funds.
The report came yesterday
from the Senate Armed Services
Military Construction subcom-
mittee composed of Senators
Case, Republican, of South Da-
kota, chairman; Duff, Repuh-
lican, of Pennsylvania and STEM
mis-, Democrat, of Mississippi.
The group said it eliminated
or cut back more than $757 mil
lion worth of defense construc-
tion previously authorized by
Congress and then Slashed new
projects this year from 1929 to
$489 million.
&Ao 81 ANoAAVS SOAAS4 was I1OG
required to provide new funds
for the military construction
program this session and 1858
million previously voted will not
be spent.
"The subcommittee is conf
dent that the effectiveness of
our armed forces has not been
diminished by the subcommittee
reductions" Chairman Case said
in report printed in a post
session issue of the Congress
sional Record.
The report indicated some of
the savings resulted from deci-
SionS by the Army, Navy and

sary" and other savings resulted

a special fund for the agency.
This agency has power, under
the law. to build parking facili-

Congress has given it authority
to condemn property for parking
purposes. But it's policy has been
to encourage private enterprise
to construct parking facilities
here.
