Action Taken 0vcr ‘Cbiecticns By Truman

(By Jack Rutledge)

WASHINGTON. April iii-(APJ _Advocates of a vast air armada scored a thumping victory over President Truman today when the House of Representatives passed u 33.198.000.000 bill to start building up a Til-group air force. The vote was 343 to 8.

Defence Secretary Iorrestal. backed by the President, ha: been supporting a 56-group force, tak- ing tiie position that the bigger expansion would destroy the bal- ance of the armed services.

The action threw into sharp re- lief a wide open split ivithiii ‘mic administration. Air Secretary Stuart Syminglon, who has been plugging for a TO-grnup air force, drew an implied rebuke today from Truman. ‘

The President said he doesn't know why Symington is diffeung with the administration plan. Ask- ed whether he will "spank" Sym- ington, the President said he wiii have to answer that later.

Symington had no direct com- ment. but his office said he "has no plans to resign.”

Those who advocate a big, long- range air force as a deterrent to Russia were in demand in slic- House today. Representative Fran- cis Case lRep-S. D.) called the biii a warning to Stalin to "stop, luck and listen."

By an unusual unanimous vote- ll5 to 0—ti1e House added $822,- 000000 t0 n 52.376.100.000 biii dc- sigiied originally to finance a 5.":- group air force.

_Then it passed the entire meas-

ure," and‘ sent ic..to....the.. .Seuatc..

The program would be a five-year plan. Add tlonal billions would have to be voted later to complete it. The $3.l98,100.000 is broken down by the House to provide:

Air forces: $600.l00.000 cash and $i.tl8'7.000.000 contract authority ifor which funds must. be voted later.)

Naval aeronautics: $315,000,000 cash and $588,000,000 contract authority. _

The rift between President Tru- man and_ Symington was made public at a press conference.

The President said he is support- ing to the limit Defence Secretary ForrestaYs “balanced" defence pro- gram with its lid-group air force.
