Barken Mopes for
balanced (Budget
Washington - (LTD - An an
nouncement that the military
services will be seeking in
creased funds from the next
Congress today dimmed hopes
of moving back toward a bal
anced budget.
The Army, Navy and Air
Force are preparing "target"
budgets calling for a total of
"somewhat more" than the
$40,800,000,000 they now are
scheduled to spend during the
current fiscal year.
Chehab Submits
New Cabinet to
Lebanon Factions
Beirut, Lebanon-flJPD-Presi-dent
Fuad Chehab submitted
to Lebanon's warring factions
today an emergency cabinet
dominated by military men
and career officials to halt
the nation's quickening drift
toward civil war.
An announcement of the
new cabinet, coupled with the
resignation of the short-lived
government of rebel leader
Rashid Karami, was expected
momentarily.
To Go Ahead
It appeared that Chehab
was determined to go ahead
with the changeover despite
demonstrations among the
country's old rebels against
Karami's withdrawal.
First the rebellion against
former President Camille
Chamoun, then the violent
and bloody counter-reaction
by the Chamounists against
the new cabinet of former
rebel supporters have kept
Lebanon in a turmoil for near
ly five months.
It now appeared that Che
hab, who as commanding gen
eral of the nation's army had
hesitated to put down the re
bellion by force for fear of
splitting the country, was
ready to take drastic political
action to bring an end to the
civil strife.
Daily Toll
There has been a daily toll
of dead and wounded, beaten
and kidnaped, for the 17 days
Chehab has been in office.
U. S. Ambassador Robert
McClintock saw Chehab again
Thursday to discuss with
drawal of the remainder of
U. S. troops against a back
ground of growing civil strife.
The three U. S. military
policemen whose Jeep was
stopped by rebels Wednesday
night were identified as Sgt.
Paul B.arnes, Norwood, Ohio;
Sgt. Kermit Poe, Charleston,
W. Va., and SP4 Jesse Pres
ton, Modesto, Calif.
The three 45-caliber pistols
taken from them have since
been returned, a spokesman
said.
The announcement was
made late Thursday by Act
ing Defense Secretary JJon
old A. Quarles. At a news con
ference he blamed inflation
and the necessity of pushing
ahead with high priority
missile projects for the rising
budgets.
At the present level of ex
penditures, a federal deficit
of $12,200,000,000 is expected
this fiscal year. The business
upturn, which is resulting in
increased tax receipts, could
reduce this deficit despite ris
ing government costs.
Quarles also revealed that,
because of the Middle East
and Far East crises, the mili
tary services have found it
impossible to "make any of the
manpower reductions which
were contemplated in Presi
dent Eisenhower's budget sub
mitted to the last Congress
The services were scheduled
to reduce from a total of 2,
600,000 men last June 30 to
2,225,000 on June 30, 1959.
Instead, as of Sept. 1 they had
increased slightly, toia total
of 2,604,860 men in uniform.
The spending figure for the
current year is already more
than a half billion dollars
above the amount scheduled
in the President's budget.
In the current year, the Air
Force is to spend just over $19
billion, while the Navy and
Marine Corps get $11,500,
000,000 and the Army's funds
total slightly more than $9
billion. Another $1,250,000,
000 is being spent by the De
fense Department on joint ac
tivities. .
Midwest Gets
Snow Flurries
By United Press International
Wintery winds of up to 45
miles an hour drove across
the nation's midsection Fri
day, dropping temperatures
into the 20s and 30s and scat
tering snow flurries.
The cold Canadian air
slammed into a flow of mild
winds from the Gulf of Mex
ico, erupting into a line of
severe rain and wind storms.
Two tornado funnels swirled
over three south central Wis
consin counties Thursday and
threatening funnel clouds ac
companied by "extremely
high winds" hovered over
much of Indiana.
Earlier twisters raked Iowa
and Missouri, killing a house
wife. Hieh winds in northern
Illinois caused one death
when a tree " toppled ' onto a
car.
Gusty winds whipped the
Dakotas and upper Mississip
pi valley. Early morning
readings in the 20s were re
ported in the Northern Plains
and temperatures in the 30s
produced snow flurries in the
Red River valley region.
