Here are highlights from LBJ's
proposed budget for fiscal '65
WASHINGTON (UPI)-High-lights
of President Johnson's
budget for the 1965 fiscal year
beginning next July 1:
Spending: $97.9 billion, a re
duction of $500 million from
this year's expected outlay.
Economies in defense, foreign
aid, farm and veterans pro
grams partly offset by in
creased funds for space explor
ation and an attack on poverty.
Taxes: "Earliest possible en
actment" of the tax cut bill
now before Congress is impera
tive to "carry our economy to
new high ground." The tax cut
would stimulate business so
that, despite lower rates, gov
ernment would take in more
revenue. Assuming the tax cut
takes effect, the government's
income for fiscal 1985 Is esti
mated at $93 billion, uo 4.6 bil
lion over the current fiscal
year.
Deficit: If all goes as budget-
Feminine
balloonist
loses life
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.
(UPI) An adventurous Con
necticut grandmother apparent
ly fought an eight-hour battle to
stay afloat in her downed 40
foot balloon before drowning in
choppy ocean waters, a coro
ner's report indicated today.
Mrs. Barbara Keith, 42-year-old
Hartford, Conn., widow and
grandmother of 10, was found
dead Monday in the wreckage
of her brightly colored hot-air
balloon.
She had started out Saturday
from Santa Catallna Island as
the only woman entry in a bal
loon race to the Southern Cali
fornia mainland.
Only one of the entries in the
competition made it to the
mainland. Five others had to
be rescued from the sea and
another crashed before leaving
the island.
A widespread air and sea
search for Mrs. Keith began
after she disappeared In the ill
fated race.
Investigators theorized she
had used flares and dye mark
ers In attempts to attract the
attention of rescuers, but the
giant search parly failed to
find her until it was too late.
Drowning was listed as the
apparent cause of death, pend
ing further examination.
High winds were blamed for
blowing Mrs. Keith's balloon off
course nnd into the ocean. It
was found eight miles north of
Dana Point on the mainland,
about 28 miles south of Santa
Catallna Island.
Portland seeks
home loan bank
PORTLAND (UPn-Thc ores-
Idcnt of the Oregon Savings and 1
Ixwn League said Monday the!
luaguo may get an opportunity
to present to the Federal Home
Loan Board its contention that
a new home loan bank should
be located here Instead of at
Spokane.
Ralph H. Cake, also president
of the Equitable Savings and
Loan Association, said members
of the Oregon congressional del
egation were putting pressure
on the board to give Oregonians
a hearing. Ho added that prob
ably no hearing would come un
til Joseph P. McMurray, chair
man of the board, returns from
a South American trip late this
month or early next month,
ed, the government would run
$4.9 billion in the red. This
would be only half as big a
deficit as it is incurring this
year "a giant step toward a
balanced budget.
Federal Payroll: Government
agencies will trim their civilian
work force from 2,512,400 to
2,511,200. Though the reduction
is only 1,200 persons, Johnson
emphasized that this is the first
federal budget in 10 years to
provide for any decrease in
federal employment.
Defense: Thanks to uetense
Secretary Robert S. McNa-
mara s "vigorous efforts to pro
mote economies in the man
agement of our armed forces,"
defense spending will decline
by $1.3 billion from $55.3 to
$54 billion. The reduced budget
"win provide tor all essential
military purposes. Including
substantial improvements" of
u.s. strength in missiles, air
lift capacity and ready-to-fight
tactical forces.
Space: The U.S. goal is still
"to place a man on the moon
in this decade." To speed up
the lunar landing program,
which fell behind schedule be
cause of budget cuts last year,
Johnson would boost space
spending by $600 million to a
level of $5 billion annually in
fiscal 1965.
Foreign Aid: Sought $2.4 bil
lion in economic aid authority
and $1 billion in new military
aid authority. The total is $1.5
billion less than the Kennedy
administration originally sought
for the current fiscal year. Ac
tual outlays during the year
would be $2.1 billion for eco
nomic aid and $1.2 billion for
military aid, a total of $3.3 bil
lion down $200 million from this
year's estimated outlay. The
foreign aid agency will lay off
"several hundred employes"
and pui more stress on "self
help measures" in countries re
ceiving economic aid. Peace
Corps has been highly success
ful ' and will be expanded from
10,500 to 14,000 members in
1965.
Attack on Poverty: Budget
provides $200 million in ready
cash and more than $1 billion
in obligational authority to "be
gin an all-out attack on the
problem of poverty in the Unit
ed States." Program will con
centrate on "raising the educa
tional, skill and health levels"
of young people from poor fam
ilies. Details will be sent to
Congress in a special message
soon.
Farmers: Spending on farm
programs is expected to decline
by $1.2 billion, from $8.1 to $4.9
billion, mainly as a result of
lower outlays on price support
activities. Johnson will send
Congress recommendations for
new cotton and dairy programs.
Veterans: Veterans benefits
will cost $5.1 billion, down
about $300 million from the cur
rent year.
Health: Sought extension of
the Hill-Burton Hospital Con
struction Act, and earmarked
funds to get moving on the
mental health and mental re
tardation programs authorized
by Congress last year.
Education: Renewed, in a
perfunctory way, the Kennedy
request for federal aid to ele
mentary and secondary schools,
but did not go into the touchy
question of whether it should be
restricted to public schools, or
including parochial schools.
Unemployed: Appealed for
prompt passage of the pending
Youth Employment Act to pro
vide work and training In
camps and on hometown nmi
ects for an estimated 60,000
youths. Also sought funds for
expansion of the present pro-
Ki inn ui iwHuung unempioved
workers in new skills.
Johnson urges
further arms
control action
T.ENEVA HTPn ProciAjnt
Johnson appealed to the Soviet!
Union today to agree to morel
arms control measures at the
new disarmament talks opening
here. I
Johnson made the appeal in
a special statement sent to Ge
neva for reading at the 17
nation disarmament conference
resuming this afternoon after a i
five-month recess.
Informed sources said the
message was addressed to the
conference as a whole but was
aimed directly at the Soviet
Union.
They said the President sug
gested specific items on which
he hopes progress will be made
in the new negotiations. Head
ing the list was an agreement
to prevent dissemination of nu
clear weapons to other nations.
Peace Offensive
Johnson's message to the con
ference was part of an Ameri
can peace offensive to stimu
late concrete advances on dis
armament. The offensive began
last week with the President's
pledge to present new proposals
here. This was followed up by
a U.S. delegation statement Sat
urday and Johnson's letter to
Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khru
shchev Monday.
Informed sources said the
U.S. delegation was under or
ders from Johnson to get "ac
tions rather than words" at the
resumed conference.
A high U.S. official said the
President has a "deep personal
interest" in the new arms talks
and is determined to make
progress.
The resumption of the confer
ence represented the first major
East-West confrontation since
Johnson succeeded the late
President Kennedy, who was as
sassinated last November.
Challenging Kremlin
The United States was chal
lenging the Kremlin to continue
with the Johnson administration
the spirit of cooperation which
led to the signing of the limited
nuclear test ban treaty last
summer.
American sources said John
m believes a change in the
U.S.-Soviet relationship makes
possible some agreements to re
duce the risk of accidental war.
The sources said Johnson sent
William C. Foster, director of
the Arms Control and Disarma
ment Agency, to Geneva to get
"actions rather than words."
Foster, the highest-ranking offi
cial at the conference, is head
ing the U.S. delegation for the
time being.
Lady Bird sees
preview of play
NEW YORK (UPI) Mrs.
Lady Bird Johnson capped her
first visit to New York City as
First Lady Monday night by at
tending a preview of Arthur
Miller's new play and an after
theater champagne supper par
ty. Mrs. Johnson is expected to
fly to Washington this afternoon
in time for a White House din
ner honoring Mrs. Lester B.
Pearson, wife of the Canadian
prime minister here on an of
ficial visit.
The First Lady's visit to New
York was described by her
aides as a "private" one, made
primarily to attend the Lincoln
Center Company's preview per
formance of Miller's first play in
nine years, "After the Fall."
The First Lady appeared rapt
during the performance of the
play, which is autobiographical
to a large extent and includes a
detailed account of the suicide
of a glamorous blonde similar
to Marilyn Monroe, to whom
Miller was married for a time.
Security arrangements during
the First Lady's visit were de
scribed as unobtrusive.
Earlier in the day, Mrs. John
son toured the Metropolitan Mu
seum of Art and the Whitney
Museum and lunched with a
longtime friend, Mrs. Mary
Lasker.
Accompanied only by two sec
retaries, Mrs. Johnson suc
ceeded in her intention of avoid
ing any notice until the bene
fit. She walked through the mu
seums unrecognized while re
porters awaited her arrival at
her hotel.
John Glenn's partisans claim that his
political bandwagon really rolling now
By Haskell Short
UPI Staff Writer
COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPI) -Former
astronaut John H.
Glenn's partisans claimed today
his political bandwagon "was
really rolling."
And while there was agree
ment his rocket had bruised a
lot of important Democratic
shins in his first blastoff in
politics, even some of his op
ponents called him another Ei
senhower and warned the party
not to attach weights to the
famed spaceman.
The Buckeye State native in
his fourth day in politics
watched his troops kayo the
Ohio Democratic organization.
They battered it into the awk
ward position of denying sup
port to Senator Stephen M.
Young, who had been on the
scene, making it clear he want

uienos upsei 01 me organi
zation saw him winning support
of more than 70 of the state's
88 counties. His aides said this
showed he had widespread pop
ular support, even though some
Democrats joined Republicans
and some newsoaoer writers
who said little was known
about Glenn's political philoso-
pny.

Taft, whose name is as well
known in politics as Glenn's in
space, is favored to beat Sec
retary of State Ted W. Brown,
winner of six statewide elec
tions, for the GOP nomination.
Rep. Wayne Hays of Belmont
County, chief lieutenant in
Glenn's organization, said that
although the convention's deci
sion not to endorse any candi
date was releatively close, a
number of delegations which
stood with Young's camp to get
an endorsement would have
bolted to endorse Glenn.
Hays said the Glenn partisans
did not want anyone endorsed
because "we didn't want to hu
miliate Senator Young. But we
think the mood out there on the
floor showed about five out of
every six active Democratic
workers in Ohio would rather
have John Glenn instead of
Steve carrying the party ban
ner this fall."
Combining small farms into big
farms continuing at fast clip .
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
process of combining many
small farms into not so many
big farms continued at a fast
pace in 1963. Farm numbers
dropped about 100,000, or 3 per
cent, below those of a year ear
lier. The Agriculture Department's
Statistical Reporting Service
(SRS) estimated farms in con
tinental United States on Jan. 1
totaled 3,474,400. This compares
with 3,572,700 a year earlier.
The Jan. 1 total for 1964 is
about 28 per cent under the 4,
798,200 farms operated in 1954
and 38 per cent under the 5,
647,800 operated in 1950.
The department estimated the
number of farms again will de
crease about 3 per cent during
1964, drawing off approximately
another 100.000 farms.
(The figures on numbers oi
farms do not include those
farms in Alaska, about 400, and
Hawaii, about 6,600.)
While the numbers of farrm
have changed greatly, th
amount of land has remained
almost constant, except foi
those acres retired to forests,
airports, recreation centers,
highways, and expanding sub
urbia. At the beginning of 1964, there
were 1.55 billion acres of land
in farms, only 4 per cent less
than the 1.2 billion acres in
farms in 1950.
The department said the av
erage size of farms has in
creased greatly throughout re
cent years, rising from 318
acres per farm in 1962 to 325
acres at the end of 1963, and
an indicated 332 acres in 1961
