Secretary of Defense Wilson
told Congress today he has or

study of the military setup in
view of changes in the weapons
field and in the international

He wants the picture of what
may be needed in the next three
years.
In testimony prepared for the
Senate Armed Services Commit

that military manpower will in
crease to about 2,840, 900 by the
end of the next fiscal year from
the 2,814,000 estimated for June

He also said that to provide
a measure of f1exibility" Presi-
dent Eisenhower has authorized
a manpower ceiling of 1905, 900
for the next fiscal year. But
Mr.. Wilson said use of that au-

complete justification for need

He said that I'VE do not fore
see at this time any major
changes in the overall level of
our military forces during the

There will, however, be con-

and composition of our forces, in

Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son proposed today to give farm
ers a premium rate for taking
land out Of production instead OF
using it for crops.
Testifying before the Senate
Agriculture Committee on the
administrators projected farm

thought crop-reduction incentive
payments under an acreage cut
back plan should be at least
slightly higher" than the return
the farmer ordinarily would net
by using the same acreage for
cropland.
He said he thought this would
be necessary to encourage par

Secretary Benson told the COM
mittee he thought the payments

that If the Democratic controlled
Congress acted quickly on the
farm legislation, the farmers
would benefit in the new crop
year.
1t has been estimated that the

be about 81 billion.

able amounts for which all the
States, as well as the District,
will be eligible.
Spur to Construction
The exact amounts will be
governed py a complicated for
mula, including a requirement
that the Federal grants be
matched on sliding scale. Mr.
Lowe said he did not think the
matching requirement would be
any obstacle for the District.
Mr.. Folsom stressed that the
Federal grants would not be in
tended to substitute for local
funds. but rather would be given
for extra construction beyond
that already financed locally.
The grants-if legislated by
Congressional give a major
spur to tagging District school
construction. School officials
have been complaining that the
city has been sidetracking urgent
building needs.
District schools are getting
less than $475,000 in Federal
funds this year and none for
construction. This compares
with some $22.5 million in Fed
eral grants going to Virginia ano
SO million to Maryland. All
told the Federal Government is
doing out some $214 million tc

Gen. Sturgis that they will

sional committees to obtain
additional funds for legislation
which may be required"

renee of catastrophe floods in
California and New England
during the past year serves as a
grim reminder to us that the
District of Columbia is subject
to serious food damage from the

District are deeply concerned
about this potential threat to
the Nations Capital, and want
to make sure that every reason

taken to prevent disaster.
"In addition to flood control.
we are concerned about the

more urgent in recent years;
about the security and adequacy
of our water supply resources;
and about the potential recrea-
tional use of the Potomac for
our rapidly expanding metro

"All of these problems relate
to the best use Of the Potomac
in the public interest and they
should apparently be covered in

izing a review of this survey re-

man (now SENATOR Beall in

to a paucity of funds. In view
of the importance of arriving al

solution of the problems referred

you make funds available for this

Commissioners of the District of
Columbia will support action be-
fore congressional committees to
obtain additional funds for leg
islation which may be required

that a sound basis for early &C

lished as soon as practicable. We
shall welcome your suggestion of
measures which we may take in
