Testifying before the Joint Defense Procurement Subcommittee, the Defense Secretary said that it is "extremely difficult to change the traditional way of doing things in the defense establishment," but that he is trying to save money. All those uniformed officers who disagree with his economy moves, he said bluntly, do so out of "ignorance." He cited his TFX decision as "perhaps the most important single action we have taken thus far to reduce the number of different weapons systems in our inventory," since its goal is to produce one airplane suitable for both Navy and Air Force...
...several days, Washington had been wondering how President Kennedy would react to the report (TIME, March 29) of a ten-man presidential committee, headed by retired General Lucius Clay, recommending cuts that could save some $500 million in the Administration's foreign aid program for next year, originally set at $4.9 billion. As it turned out, the President was willing to go part way with Clay. Dropping in at a meeting of the Magazine Publishers Association, he confided that his foreign aid message this week would request $4.7 billion, and that he would be content if he ended...

Every Quebec newspaper save one has vehemently editorialized against him for this apparent "capitulation" to the Americans. In addition, in contradiction to Mr. Cohen's assertion, Premier Lesage of Quebec has not been "rallying provincial support" behind Mr. Pearson. Mr. Lesage has retained the classic stance of Quebec Premiers--that of studious aloofness, if not indifference, to the federal election campaign. There is not evidence that Mr. Lesage has put his political machine at Mr. Pearson...
...conclusions are premature. Quebec has yet to give John Diefenbaker a hearing. After it does, it may be that French Canada will give him many more seats than are dreamt of in Mr. Cohen's analysis. The rest of Canada is obviously bored and tired with Mr. Diefenbaker (save the fervently pro-Diefenbaker prairie provinces). But Mr. Pearson has failed to ignite a spark either. And it must be remembered that Canada's most tiring and dullest Prime Minister was MacKenzie King--and he held office for 27 years! Thomas A. Hockin Graduate School of Public Administration...
