Democrats in (Vtngress haT* been increasingly critical of tha administration's defense budget and have been asking whether it Is big enough.

Chi the other hand, h* said, they are "rattling sabers'* by allowing glimpses of new weapons and demanding Formosa and ths rest of Viet Nam for the Con»- munists.

"Nevertheless, even tiiough We cannot guess Soviet intentions, it Is obvious that any move they make is iMund to have an effect on our preparednes.i pi-ogram."
