Admiral's Triumph. As far as Wilson could see, the argument was impressive-in part, perhaps, because it was the only proposal he had heard which would permit the Administration to take a sizable cut out of the defense budget. Eventually, Wilson himself began to deride the Air Force goal of 143 wings as "unrealistic" and "unobtainable." Flying out to Omaha to inspect the atom-bomb-carrying Strategic Air Command, he sat through a briefing by SAC Commander Curtis LeMay only to comment at the end of it: "I think 57 wings for SAC is too many."

[But] we will encourage to the utmost extent possible the construction and management of facilities by the states, municipalities, public agencies and private enterprise...
...they are under the same pressures. Example: the Communists are trying to make four U.S. banks pay off their depositors in the same way as the British banks. But in this the Reds will probably fail, since the dollar deposits are in America and the U.S. Treasury refuses to permit delivery of the funds to Chinese mainland branches. The only Western firm in Shanghai that is still making a profit is Britain's China Engineers, which is busily importing textile machinery from Britain, and talking about how easy it is to do business with the Communists.
