The testimony released by
Senators investigating the Tx
warplane program revealed to-
day that they have challenged
the major reason advanced by
the Pentagon's civilian bosses
for awarding the SOS billion
contract to General Dynamics
Corp. of Fort Worth, Texas.
This involved "commonality"
in parts and structures for an
aircraft designed for use by
both the Air Force and Navy.
Members Of the Senate Inves-
legations Subcommittee raised
the question in yesterdays
hearing Of whether the Penta-
gon officials used "the same

degree of commonality in the
General Dynamics design as

So Billion Budget Cut
Proposed in Senate
Robertson
OfVirginio
Seeks Slash
BY the Associated Press

Senator Robertson. Democrat
Of Virginia. urged today that
Congress cut Sc billion from
President Kennedy's 1888 bill
lion budget.
Only yesterday, Mr.. Kennedy
called his budget a hard one
and challenged Republican
critics to spell out where they
would cut it-something House
@. o. P. leaders said they would
do in due time.
Senator Robertson, in pre-
pared Senate speech. spelled
out where he thought S6 bill
lion could be cut.
Almost 50 billion could be
saved. he said. by the simple
elimination of new domestic
spending programs that Mr..
Kennedy has proposed.
In addition, Senator Robert.
son suggested a cut Of $l.3
billion in military spending, a
$1.8 billion reduction in foreign
aid and a 5 per cent across
the board" reduction in the
number of Federal employees.
Fears SI2 Billion Deficit
Senator Robertson said that
| If Congress votes all the spend
ing schemes" Mr.. Kennedy has
recommended, there will be q
deficit of $40 billion to S12
billion at the end of the next
fiscal year on June 30. 1854,
even If there is no cut in taxes.
Il could not with a clear
conscience vote to impose a
$40 billion tax cut on the def
icit Of those proportions"
Senator Robertson, chairman
Of the Banking Committee and
a senior member of the Ap-
preparations Committee. de-
clared.
Senator Robertson said that
/ If tax cuts are desirable for
! their impact on business and
consumer incentives. II am
convinced they should be en-
! acted only with corresponding
reductions in spending"
In spelling out where he
would cut almost 50 billion by
elimination Of new programs,
Senator Robertson said S1.2
billion could be saved on the

dent.

 Notes Improvements In Indians Health Status

WASHINGTON R - The Pub lie Health Service reported Sat urday the American Indians pre- sent health status approximates the general US. population 20 years ago.
 The service also claimed some improvements since it took over responsibility for the Indian health program on July l, 1885.
 Since 1854, the service said, tuberculosis death rates are down 60 per cent among Indians and 83 per cent among Alaska natives, while infant mortality among h. dians has declined by 28 per cent.
 Birth rates are steadily rising, the Indian birth rate now being almost twice as high as the all- birth rate, the service said.
 The Indian average age at death, it was added, has increased three years since 1855, partly be- cause of reduced infant death rates, more people living longer, and reduced death rates.
 The latest year for which sta- tistics were available was 1860. The average age at death that year for Indians, excluding Alaska, was Al years. For Alaska natives, it was 30 years. For all races in the United States in 1859, it was 62.3 years.
