...Precedent is Harry Truman's election-night telegram to Ike in 1952: "Congratulations on your overwhelming victory . . . You should have a representative meet with the Director of the Budget immediately." (Ike did.) ¶Be prepared to offer a revised budget soon after inauguration. Candidate Nixon estimated that his program would cost nearly $5 billion more than President Eisenhower's, and Candidate Kennedy's avowed plans would presumably cost considerably more than Nixon's. ¶Appoint Cabinet members-not forgetting the gravely important presidential science adviser-by mid-December so they can be "informed and ready...
...have rendered obsolete all manned aircraft by the time combat-ready B-70's go on the line in 1965. In rebuttal, airmen argue that planes always will be more accurate, reliable and flexible than missiles and that the U.S. always will need both. To keep the B70 program aloft, airmen require something like $400 million in the budget for fiscal 1962. How far and how fast to go with the controversial B-70-perhaps the last piloted bomber-will be one of the first military decisions to face the incoming Administration...
...report argues that in the age of intercontinental ballistic missiles a civil-defense warning system should be capable of warning 90% of the population within 30 seconds after the national civil-defense center in Colorado Springs gives the signal.

Many people in U.S. cities do not even hear civil-defense sirens, and very few pay any attention to them.

...effective warning system, says the O.R.O. report, is an indispensable first step toward an adequate civil defense. It is "impractical" to expect a nuclear-attack shelter program to get under way "as long as it is uncertain or unlikely that the shelters could be reached in time...
...ambitious of Labor's younger generation. Though he opposes unilateral disarmament as vigorously as Gaitskell himself does (in fact, he helped write Gaitskell's pro-NATO defense plank). Little Harold saw a chance for political advancement in the unilateralist rebellion, offered himself as leader on a vague program of compromise. But when the moment came, the usually glib Wilson stumbled. "A bad case badly put," sighed one disapproving Laborite. When the votes were counted last week, Gaitskell had defeated Wilson 166 to 81. Relaxing, the M.P.s greeted the results with a full minute of applause...
