Ike Requests More Planes, Other Weapons Stresses Hydrogen And Atomic Threat On United States WASHINGTON (INS) — President Elsenhower asked for 600 more planes, another big aircraft carrier, three more atomic-power-ed submarines and thousands of guided missiles today in submitting money requests to congress. With repeated .gjress on ’the atomic - ;hydrogen-’ threat to the U. S., the President set a peacetime goal of 40,000 planes and said his 34 billion dollar military budget will Increase the number in operation from 35.400 to 36,000 in the year beginning July 1. Partly-hidden sums would boost guided missile buying beyond a billion dollars a year. The President proposed an Increase from $1.191,000,000 to $1,443.000.000 in atomic energy operating expenses, and a hike from $3,225,000,000 to $3,675,000,000 in foreign military aid. Mr. Eisenhower called upon the free world to maintain military forces that will deter attack, said spending for continental defense is "higher than ever before in our history and Is still rising,” and declared: “Our air defense forces, as well as' the strategic air command and naval air power, are being kept on an alert basis. “A surprise enemy attack would find us . with increasing readiness to resist attack and to retaliate with devastating* eff&t.” HeYfaid “about two-thirds of the projected department of defenge expenditures in the fiscal year 1956 will be-devoted to air power and related programs—both offensive and defensive.” The President’s proposals would continue total defense spending at qlinost exactly the same level as this year, despite a planned 350,-000-man reduction in the 3,200.000.men armed forces.

include these: Army: Could spend $1,100.000,000 for “ammunition and guided missiles.’* with unofficial estimates that hot more than $300,000,000 would go for conventional shells, and could continue ali-out building of Nike missile bases to defend cities. Manpower reduction would be from 1,343,000 Nov. 30 to 1,025,000 on June 30, 1956. Navy: Would Increase large aircraft carriers afloat from 15 to 16, presumably adding the 60,000-ton Forreatal. Ships in fleet would decrease from 1,101 to 1,000, but the number of warships would remain at 406. Would get $179,000,000 for a fifth super carrier, and an fncrease from four to seven in the authorised total of atomic subs. Air Force: Would increase combat wings from 108 to 119. and decrease transport units from 13 to 11,. for a net gain from 121 to 130 wings. Active planes would increase from 22,400 to 22.900 (there are 13.000 in the Navy and Marine Corps). Air Force manpower could expand slightly, from 970,000 to 975,000. Marine Corps: Would continue to maintain three divisions and three air wings. The message revealed that, in addition to withdrawing the First Marine Division from Korea to the V. S. as previously announced, 4fr Marine regiment (about 7,000 men) is being withdrawn from the Far East to Hawaii. Atomic Energy: Due to slackening of new construction in the huge expansion launched after Russian got the A-bomb, total Atomic Energy Commission spending would fall off slightly—from $.2050,000,000 to $2,000,000,000. Hut with new plans coming into operation. output of atomic explosive which can also be used as fuel apparently will have nearly doubled in two years. Foreign Aid: The President said much of the increase in foreign aid is due to a change in the method of bookkeeping — that actual deliveries of armaments would continue at about the same level. He said the aid is going to allied forces “determined to be essential" and totaling 180 land divisions. 551 combat vessels and 278 air squadrons. ; Defense Comptroller Wilfred J. -McNeil gave these descriptions of the effects of the military budget: New.aircraft deliveries' — May fall from 7,000 this year to 6,000
