an international controversy
will be started.

the increase 1t is getting, be-
lieves 1t is in fact being hurt
more than the Air Force. II
wanted an extra division, but is
forced to settle for its current
strength. Even to do this 1t had
to drop new plans for moderni-
cation.
But the Army feels it is more
important for ground fighters
to have numbers than to have
the best possible equipment :
as long as they cannot have
both.
Effect on Navy
The Navy is taking a cut in
personnel of 10000 to 10000
men but at last reading was
permitted to continue spending
on a nuclear-powered aircraft
carrier and was given at least
a tentative okay on five more
Polaris missile submarines.
But the Navy is squeezed
badly on anti-submarine war;
fare funds and fleet moderni-
cation plans.
The Air Force decided it had
to break up the 17-squadron
Air Rescue Service, cut total
personnel by as much as $4,000
men, abandon plans for large
scale practice with airborne
alerts for SAC and reduce B-47
wings (but build up B-52
lwings).
The Army so far has been
refused money to contract for
production of some Nike-zeus
system parts. This will slow
down the development of the
Pentagon's only anti-missile
missile.
And the Army will get no
relief for what it believes is a
desperate shortage of planes for
troop airlift.
All these arguments will be
Ireopened when Congress gets
the budget in January. And
Congress can decide for itself
whether economic or military
strength is the best buy for
fiscal 1861.

The services feel they are

spokesman say there will be no

circumstances. And the Air

The veteran Pentagon comp

that the defense budget should
go up about a billion dollars a
year just to keep up with inf1a-
ton. The highly regarded
Rockefeller report on the de-
tense budget said it should go
up So billion a year to allow
for imitation and the increased
cost of modern technology.
So even SAL billion-the same

so are not hurting seriously for
new money. They need permits
sion to spend what they have
and what they reasonably can
expect from Congress next year.
The new budget contains
spending limits as well as new
money. and these also are
changing during the discus
sions.
The tentative decision by Mr.
McElroy last week was to limit
the Army to $9.5 billion in
spending, up quarter billion
dollars from this year; the Navy
to $11.2 billion, down $400 mil
lion and the Air Force about
$18 billion, down almost $7OC
million.
But again late negotiations
pushed the figures higher. The
Air Force, for instance. which
had thought Mr.. McElroy would
be good for little more than $1t
billion, late yesterday was hope
full for a last minute increase
of several hundred Million
though not enough to reach its
$19-billion-plus minimum goal
So the spending total, includ-
ing funds for the Office of the
Secretary of Defense, inchec
toward SAL billion.

Czech Youth
Cling To Religion
Reds Admit

VIENNA, Austria - NC)-
A communist paper in Czecho
slovakia has voiced concern
over the failure of atheistic
propaganda to win over that
nations youth, most of whom,
it confessed, still "cling stub
bornly" to their religious con-
victions.
According to Information re-
ceived here the admission of
failure was contained in an
article on the third congress
of the Czechoslovak Youth I'm
ion published by "Mlada From
ta," the official organ Of the
Czechoslovak communist youth
organizations.
Quoting one Of the speakers
at the congress the article
said that very little has been
achieved" in the field Of athe.
issie propaganda because both
. Bourgeois mentality" and
political indifference" still
prevail among fhs nations
youth.
To illustrate what it called
theological discrepancies"
the article referred to case of a
girl who passed an. examina-
ton on the subject of Marx
ism and religion" with high
honors.
After The examination, the
paper said, the girl in qvss-
tion told her friends that she
had done 50 well only because
she had attended Mass and
gone to confession thar same
morning.

paper declared, ito what ex-
tent the theology of our stu
dents is at loggerheads. with
their actions. This discrepancy
should be carefully taken in
to account by our Communist

with people who normally

to see and be with him.
The day started with Mass

citys's s~treetsweepers and their
families. The Mass in the Hall
of Benedictions began at sew

the crowds had begun to col

people poured through the

On entering the hall, the
Pope descended from his port
