Close Ranks. Since he is staying on in Washington as Radford's NATO assistant, Collins (who is not called "Lightning Joe" for nothing) reacted fast.

Qualified Answers. From the scars left by the revolt of the admirals, the committee turned to the open wounds left by Defense Secretary Wilson's proposed cuts in Air Force appropriations.* Disturbed by outgoing Air Force Chief Hoyt Vandenberg's statement that he had not protested the cuts before the National Security Council, Maine's Margaret Chase Smith asked each of the four nominees whether he would "speak up" if he thought that the defense budget had been cut so much as to endanger the U.S. security.
