billion for defence

Washington, July 24.

President Truman late today asked Congress for a supplc- mentary appropriation of US$10,486,976,000 to meet the Korean situation and build up United States defence. This is the ap- propriation which he announced last week he would request. It is in addition to the ponding $13,500,000,000 regular funds for the armed forcos.

KOREAN

The supplementary request was divided as follows: Army, $3,063,000,000. Navy and Marine Corps, $2,618,000,000. Air Force, $4,535,000,000. Other Defence Department activities, $210,000,000. Estimates called for an increase in the plan- ned strength of military personnel by about major offensive $600,000.

Washington, July 21.

Senator Robert Taft (Republican) today fore- cast a Federal budget of US$50,000,000,000 to $55,000,000,000 per year for perhaps 10 years. He called for an immediate tax incrense to cover the new costs.

His appeal for an early tax increase came in a Semate speech in which he warned that the nation must plan for a "different type of economy" and offered his blueprint for the plan,

If his plan should bel war nor a state of peace."

He warned: "It is a change adopted, he said, he believed |
