Secretary of the Treasury An derson and Budget Director Mau rice 11. Stans made the announce ment in a joint statement based on preliminary reports still sub ject to revision. The deficit was recorded after two fiscal years in which the gov ernment's budget books were in the black. As recently as last January, the budget for the 1958 fiscal year ended June 30 would be in the red by only 400 million dollars. Receipts during the fiscal year totaled $69,100,000,000, down near ly two billion dollars from fiscal 1957. The drop was caused largely by the recession slump in earn ings of businesses and individuals. Budget spending during the 12 months total $71,900,000,000, an in crease of 2"j billion dollars over the mevious fiscal year. Spending was boosted By post- sputnik emphasis on defense, anti recession programs and later outlays under the farm price sup port program. For the new fiscal year which began July 1, officials are esti mating a budget deficit of 10 to 12 billion dollars.

The matter was also brought up at a June 24 meeting and the board at that time requested Supt. M. C. Dcller to submit a cost estimate of the proposed plan for providing the lunches. The plan under consideration calls for completion of kitchen fa cilities at Hucrest School. It has been estimated that additional small equipment would cost S2.- iiz.SHi, additional salaries SB.705 and transporting of food $1,500. Es timates for labor and materials to complete the Hucrest cafeteria are being prepared. Supt. Deller said the proposed plan was prepared by assuming that the percentage of participa tion by the students will be ap proximately the same as it was during the past school year.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (AP) The White House 1 announced Monday that the United States, Britain and J? ranee have started draft ing a reply to the Khrushchev pro posal for an emergency summit conference on the Middle East. The United States it was learned, has proposed to Britain and France a draft which would definitely turn down the Soviet Premier'! call (or an immediate meeting outside the United Na tions and would keep Middle East diplomacy concentrated in the UN security Council.
