IN LAST 24 HOURS at 5 P.M. 75. Trapfnturti Cltlw Btah Urm ote after Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.) had cautioned his colleagues that the pending $1.7 billion defense increase for Viet Nam is "only a small down payment" on the cost of that buildup.

Russell, Senate Armed Services Committee chairman, challenged the Administration's contention that the nation can have both butter and guns while meeting the cost of the Viet Nam conflict. The Senate measure would give an 119c pay increase, across the board, to enlisted men with more than two years of service. Officers would get a 6'e raise. The Senate bill also carries a $10 increase in combat pay for men exposed to shooting in Viet Nam from the present $55 a month to $65. er nim .13 Alhanr 77 t7 Allania H4 8 Bunion 7ft 61 Hullalo 7H B4 t'hii wo 7N 6 CirM'innati ml 60 At 70 affects of us; at 75 half at 80 all.
