Protection

Back in the happy days when a
standing Army of l50, 900 was enough
to protect the Nation, the annual
budgets devoted little space to de-
tense. In fiscal year 1856, however,
the largest section carries a pro-
lection" label.
Under that classification lies 81
per cent of the spending, including
$34.7 billion for the three armed
services, plus spending for atomic
energy, Stockpiling of strategic ma
terials and foreign aid.
The budget estimates foreign aid
spending In the coming year at SAT
billion. The figures were not broken
down. There was no way TO tell how
much would 90 to each trouble spot
officials did indicate, however, that
about two-thirds would go to Asia.
Perhaps $3.50 million will be set
aside for economic aid there--au
that is left of the Marshall Plan
for Asia" idea which Secretary of
the Treasury Humphrey slapped
down late last year.
Militory Spending
Most eyes, of course, were on the
military budget. This was the key
to the long haul the President is
planning for. Mr.. Eisenhower said
in his budget message 1t was essen
tial that the Nation build and MAIN
tain military strength sufficient to
retaliate decisively and to defend
itself in case an enemy attacks.
Specifically, he said, we need more
atomic air power and a stronger
continental defense thow the small
"nibbling" Communist wars were to
be handled, he did not specify.
A look at military spending figures
for the three Eisenhower budgets In
dicates that the outgo of the three
services has leveled of. The long
haul has started.
The size Of the armed services still
is being adjusted. however. Total
military personnel viii be reduced
from the present 80 million men to
about 3 million this June and then
to about 2.8 million at the end Of
fiscal 1866. That will mean a sharp
drop for the Army and Navy and
q slight increase for the Air Force.
Emphasis on air power shows up
in comparative expenditures. While
the Army will spend slightly less
than $40 billion and the Navy $9.8
billion, the Air Force will have $15.5
billion.
The President. In his budget
message. assured Congress that those
figures were sufficient. As he Ia
considered the foremost military
expert in the Government, his word
will carry much weight. But an
other expert outside the Govern
nent. former Secretary OF the Air
Force Thomas X. Finletter, feels the
Air Force money is not enough.
Mr.. Finletter maintains that the
country will not have a retalia.ory
air force larger than Russia's unless
at least $18 billion are appropriated
each year for air. The new budget
calls for only $i4.5 billion In new
appropriations tanother billion will
be available in surplus from this
year,.
Unless the $18 billion mark Il
reached and maintained, Mr.. Fin
letter believes. "the presumption il
