The Senate Preparedness Investigat
ing Subcommittee made the following
summary in its 40th report on the
Armed Services: “We cannot consider
an organization efficient when it re
quires 1600 men to put 75 single-seated
aircraft into the air; we cannot con
sider a training base efficient when it
requires one man to feed, house, and
train two and one-half men; we cannot
consider a ship efficently run when it
is manned by three and one-half times
the number of seamen required to con
duct a similar operation in private
commerce.”—Tax Outlook, August 1952.
