Defense Recheck Is Sought
WASHINGTON dP)-^ Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson called on President Eisenhower yesterday to take a pen-'onal look at the defense program to be sure "we are doing enough, fast enough."
Johnson said that whatever course Ru.ssia follows in tiie near future it will affect the U, S. de¬ fense progjram and that he is ask¬ ing the Defense Department whether that program has enough flexibility to permiit necessary ad¬ justments.
Democrats in (Vtngress haT* been increasingly critical of tha administration's defense budget and have been asking whether it Is big enough.
