That budget, in turn, will set the tone for President Nixons military economic policy for the remainder of his term. THE STAKES At stake is nothing less than whether runaway military spending can be put in check once the Vietnam war ends, thereby freeing some money for domestic spending and tax reduction. Thus, perhaps the most important of the military budget struggles waged in periodically Washington since the end of Wot Id War II is now in the skirmishing phase inside the Nixon administration. Here are the com- tion of really upsetting tht military budgets status quo, and nothing he has done since has changed any minds.

The Treasury Budget Bureau economizeri have been wholly unimpressed by Lairds efforts to save money through more efficient conof tracting and stretch-out- s milltaiy hardware and ridi- cule his reduction of B52 bombing runs In Vietnam. They are now making the point inside the administration that Nixon must authorize radical surgery at the Pentagon if the expected peace dividend following the Vietnam war is not to be lost entirely. But Laird is by no means a simplistic crusader for the military Industrial complex. ed. Ke is considerably tougher than Robert S. McNamara in demanding more fastidious defense contracting (a tightening privately urged on Laird by McNamara himself). In fact, some of McNamaras departing lieutenants feel the only hope for restraint at the Pentagon ia Lajrd and Deputy Secretary David Packard arrayed against the generals. Thus, the generals are now gearing up a lobbying effort in Congress of the kind that has always been successful in the past For instance, Gen. William Westmoreland,' , the Army chief of staff, in present congressional testimony, calls for expensive changes needed to bring the Army to perfection. Despite a cunning in Washingtons jungles that is unsurpassed in the Nixon administration, Laird is iu a most exposed crossfire between the economizers and the generals. m WASHINGTON (AP)-La- bor Secretary George P.
