“Cost Is Frightful”
The house committee, hardened to appropriating fabulously large sums of money, choked a bit on this one and said: “The cost is frightful! . . . the figures are almost unbelievable. » Gen. George 'C. Marshall, army chief of staff, described it as an enormous sum “necessary to carry on aggressive warfare around the globe.” “Your action un. approving it),” he told the committee, “will hasten the destruction §f the enemy, which is our great purpose.” Chairman J. Buell Snyder (D.
sidered the bill, said he expected this to be the peak army appropriation of the war. - “I think next year it will drop to $50,000,000,000 —even if the war is still on,”. he said. More May Be Needed
Snyder said that if experiments indicate the axis, can be subdued by air, “undoubtedly much more money will be required than the $23,000,000,000 set aside for the air corps. ” “But if we can bomb them into

‘Generals Win Tribute
The committee compiimented the war department on the difficult job it is doing and only in minor instances did it cut budget estimates or criticize. One instance was in
year. The measure included a $4,969,967,688 item for army lend-lease. While the committee expressed the hope that “none of the axis powers will resort: to chemical warfare,” the bill approved $1,154,734,000 for chemical war service and voiced determination that the allied forces elect to engage in this diabolical form of attack.” The committee recommended an investment of $158,000 to safeguard the eyesight of America’s future generals. It approved the sum for installation of a new lighting system at the U. S. Military Academy at West Point. x The use of war department funds for the payment of subsidies on agricultural products grown in the continental United States was banned. : The committee amended the supply bill to prohibit the use of any of its funds for the army's art

the department’s request for $800,000,000 for “travel of fhe army.”

1, The army. as of now plans a net increase of only 1,020,473 per-j sons in uniformed personnel during the 12 months starting July 1, and more than a quarter of that increase will be women.
Weapons Are Praised
2. The weapons of the U. S. army have been proven “generally superior and always equal” to similar axis materiel, ‘The chief of army ordnance - was especially enthusiastic about American artillery. 3. Preparations are being made for 200,000 prisoners of war in this country by Dec. 31. The care of them will cost an estimated $271,000,000 of which more than $55,000,000 will be for pay to those who work. 4. The army has cut the time lost! to venereal disease in half’ since 1941 and the general health of the army is better than it has ever been. The ratio of deaths in battle to total casualties is the same as in other wars—battle deaths are about 20 to 25 per cent. of total casualties.
Radar Helped at Attu
5. Five army ordnance plants have been closed to meet “the fluid condition of the war.” It is not “overproduction,”” the army says, but “readjustment. o 6. The attack on Attu never could have been accomplished without radar, the new radio detection device. The weather was so bad at Attu that the water couldn't be seen from the decks of boats and ships were berthed and men landed by the use of radar. Some idea of what it costs to run an army in this war was. disclosed in the breakdown of the total bill— $11,505,686,000 for pay, $2,464,451,240 for: subsistence, $1,890,988,133 for clothing and equipage, $620,003,000 for medical department, $15,042,522,000 for ordnance supplies and services.
