Lovett disclosed today that the fiscal 1953 military sending budge already has been slashed $19,000,000,- 000 below the amount or iginally sought by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He warned an economy-minded Congress that any further cuts ! would not be “prudent.” Flanked by civilian chiefs of all! three armed services, "Lovett testi fied before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee considering Presi dent Truman’s request that the military get $52,000,000,000 In the fiscal year beginning next July 1. Lawmakers of both parties have been demanding substantial cuts in all federal spending items, includ ing the military budget, to reduce the prospective deficit of more than $10,000,000,000. Lovett met the economy drive head-on by testifying that the serv ices originally sought $71,000,000,000 to reach “an acceptable state of readiness” this year. He said his own office trimmed the total to $55,000,000,000 and Pres ident Truman ordered a further cut of $3,000,000,000 before sending the budget to Congress. DATES POSTPONED Lovett explained that the reduc tions were accomplished mainly by “stretching out the period in which readiness is to be achieved’’—that is. by postponing the target dates for reaching the goals of a 143- group Air Force, a 21-division Army. A Navy with 408 ships, and a three-division Marine Corps. _He did not give the new “readi ng mites but said, that the post ponement will mean that the nation is taking “ail the calculated risks IwißuA i J prudent.” .t' f? i It has . been reported previously that the “stretch-out" was based on the assumption that there will be no general war in the next two years. That apparently was the main “calculated risk” which Lov- , - ett had in mind. , I Father Murders Motherless Son With Arm Chair I SEVIERVILLE, Term. (HI A 38.
