The Navy is preparing plans
for a tremendous expansion Of
its Polaris missile-submarine
building program. If the Serv-
ices civilian bosses approve
construction plans would be
tripled for the year beginning
July l and would be quadrupled
for the following year, reliable
Navy sources report.
The proposed expansion
would add upwards of 81 bill
lion to the defense budget next
year and 50 billion to the still
unwritten budget for fiscal
1862. Proponents hope that the
huge costs will be Offset, how
ever, by a narrowing of the
United States-RuSsia missile
gap that would help cool of
critics of the administration
defense programs.
A secondary result of the
expansion plan, if and when ii
reaches formal consideration
by the Nations defense policy
makers, would be to set off an
inter-service dispute over just
what the role of the undersea
missile should be.

are calculated by reference to
silver.
