2 The Newt-Review, Roioburg, US Spending To Be Upped $10 Billion WASHINGTON (AP) Presi dent Kennedy, in his first six months in office, has advanced con crete proposals for increasing fu ture federal spending by well over $10 billion. Actually, the eventual spending boost would be even greater un der the administration s new and expanded programs. However, $10 407,600,000 represents the amount nf added spending authority which Kennedy wants Congress to provide at this time. Of the total amount, $6,510,000 000 would be spent during the 1962 fiscal year which began July 1 The rest would be spread over sev eral years. In the light of administration programs announced to date, ob servers expect the fiscal 1063 spending budget to approach $90 billion. This would compare with $87,723,000,000 now officially fore cast for the current fiscal year. Although the current-year budg et deficit will total at least $S,- 290,000,000, administration officials are hopeful of balancing the budg et next year. Kennedy has warned be will ask Congress lor a tax in crease, if necessary, to achieve a budget ' strictly In balance." Secretary of the Treasury Doug las Dillon said recently that it the economy moves ahead as he ex pects, "our revenues for fiscal 1963 would be adequate to meet a of our national needs, with some thing left over." That was before Kennedy's $2-,-454,(100,000 proposal for the build tip for Berlin, but the administra tion argues that, while program ming major spending Increases it is pursuing course if fiscal re sponsibility with balanced budgets in sight. Critics contend that def icits are the more likely prospect, The strongest clue to the rising trend in federal spending comes from an analysis of this year re quests to Congress for "new obliga tional authority" appropriations authority to sign contracts, ' and authority for agencies to spend money borrowed from the froai urv. Former President Dwight D. Ei senhower last January asked for $80.9 billion in obligalional author ity. Revisions and additions by Kennedy have boosted the total to $914 billion. Obligalional authority requests normally exceed spending esti mates for any single year because they cover programs coming up in future years. If the Navy is to huild an aircraft carrier, for ex ample, obligalional authority might bo provided In one cinmK out ine money would be spent over sever al years. Kennedy contends that Eisenhow er's request for obligalional author ity fell $88 million shy of the amount needed to finance existing programs. He has now added pro programs of his own calling for n extra $10.4 billion in obligalional authority. ; Konnedy has called for the fol lowing increases in obligational au thority to handle new and expand ed programs: National security, $45.8 billion; commerce, housing and space, $1.9 billion; labor and welfare, $1.5 bil lion; agriculture, $680 million; in ternational affairs, $360 million; na tural resources, $97 million; veter ans affairs, $B5 million, ami gen eral government, $24 million.

Far-Reaching YCC Bill Approved By Committee WASHINGTON (AP)-The Sen-I ate Labor Committee today ap proved far-reaching bills to set up a 150,000-nicmber Youth Conser vation Corps and establish a GI education program for veterans serving since JD55. I ho youth corps bill sent to the Senate floor far exceeds the rec ommendations of President Ken nedy. His administration actively opposed the other measure, dubbed Ihe "cold war veterans Gl bill." Both proposals were cleared by voice voles with strong support from Democrats on the commit tee. Republicans indicated solid opposition to the youth corps measure. Some GOP committee member! also opposed the veter ans bill. The youth corps bill, sponsored by Sen. Hubert II. Humphrey, D-Minn., would create a corps 25 times tne 6,nuomember pilot proj ect proposed by Kennedy. Knrollees would work on proj ects sponsored by government conservation, park, forest and wildlife agencies similar to the tusks of the old Civilian Conser vation Corps of the 1930s.

(AP) A successful 5,000-mile test flight has moved an advanced At las missile nearer operational status and provided valuable in formation for designing atomic power units for space vehicles Ihe improved Atlas "E " model Monday scored its second straight success, hitting a target area off Ascension Island. The new Atlas, which is being developed for greater range and heavier payload than the present operational model is to be ready for deployment late this year. On us previous test firing, an E rocket streaked a record 9,050 miles. The blazing re-entry heat of the Monday shot burned through a special container attached to the side. Brilliant yellow and violet flares erupted. The capsule carrying the flares simulated nuclear fuel cores. Men and cameras on- ships, in planes and on Ascension watched and recorded the flares and the ionizu tion trails created by the disinte grating capsules. A radio transmitter relayed heat information. Additional data was obtained from a 30-inch cyl inder which parachuted from the nose cone and was recovered by the ocean range vessel Coastal Crusader. The packet contained instruments and a tape recorder to register temperatures and nose cone performance. The experiment could reveal much about how an atomic space generator would burn up and its radioactive contents disperse on re-entry into the earth's atmos pliere. The first atomic power device ever flown rode in a transit navi gation satellite launched last month from Cape Canaveral. Of ficials said it was purposely over designed to guarantee safety un der any condition.

They ncluded Judge Eli WUIcox, of the Court of Ordinary (a probate court), who was responsible for general supervision of the elec tion; and Lewis B. Seay, clerk of the Telfair County Superior Court. Fourteen pollholdcrs, or poll workers, also were charged in that count, as well as a second count charging deprivation of rights. Kennedy said the indictment charged that all the defendants conspired to east and count and permit others to cast and count forged, fraudulent and ficticious votes for presidential and vice presidential eloctors.
