President Discusses Spending budget Leaves on First Leg of Western Trip Washington -HT&- President Eisenhower went over a big part of his fiscal 1960 spend ing budget today and then left by air on a business and pleas ure trip that will take him to the West Coast. . He took off at 9:03 a.m. (p.s.t.), for Toledo, Ohio, where he will be overnight guest of former Treasury Sec retary George M. Humphrey t an exclusive duck-hunting club on Lake Erie. Neighbor Goei Along Accompanying the presi dent were George E. Allen, his (longtime friend and Get tysburg neighbor, and William Alton Jones, board chairman of Cities Service Co. Earlier, the President who promised after this week's election to whack federal pending whet-e possible, spent an hour with budget and vet erans officials. The chief executive called In Budget Director Maurice Stans and Veterans Adminis trator Sumner Whittier to deal with veterans benefits in the federal budget he will send to the new Congress in January. Also sitting in was Robert E. Merriman, deputy assistant to the president for Inter-department affairs. The White House described the meeting as the first of a series of such sessions on the budget. There was a no com ment on its results. Veterans benefits are one of the big spending items, in the federal budget slightly more than $5 billion this year. They also are one of the "sacred cows" of the budget an item that politicians of both parties tremble to pare. Required By Law Most of the present outlay is required by various laws stipulating benefits to be paid to veterans and their depend ents under various conditions. The only way the President could seek a major cut in the total would be to recommend changes in the laws. Some congressional observ ers believe that there is more likelihood of Congress in creasing veterans benefits next year than decreasing them. Major veterans organ izations plan to stage an all out campaign for pensions for veterans of the First World War. Seaside Man Killed In Truck-Auto Crash Seaside -(UPD- Elmer A.'

Unfortunately, he stamped hard on her foot, and the thought "I hope woman, m pain, angrily to herself, he breaks his neck!" Coming back to his seat later, the man encountered more trouble with the lady in the end seat, and kept his balance with difficulty. As he passed Starrett's friend, he grinned and whispered, "You almost got your wish, didn't you?" The man was Dunninger, the famous mind reader.

During this sale OWAR D Phone NO 4-1226 Duff told Medford's city coun cil last night that the Public Utilities commission has con ducted a new traffic survey on the Clark st. railroad cros ing. He said "a few days" would be required for the PUC to evaluate the results. The city planning commis sion has recommended the crossing remain open. Another matter, . that of granting a one-year variance for erection of an illuminated sign advertising the Mont Crest subdivision on Murphy rd., was referred to a joint meeting with the planning commission. Objects io Variance Donald Hansen, Ward II councilman, objected to the variance. He based his objec tion on section 16 (b) of the city's zoning ordinance, which states, he said, that such variances can be granted only if their denial would re sult in practical confiscation of the property. Hansen's motion, unani mously approved, that the issue go before a joint meet ing is in line with a policy establshed by Mayor Snider last summer. Under this policy, when the council dis agrees ' with a recommenda tion from the planners a joint meeting is in order rather than a council vote In con tradiction Zoning of a piece of prop erty in the Valley Center sub division in Berrydale was re- Troops 'Destroy' Camp Roberts San Simeon, Calif .-(UPD-As-sault troops of the Army's 4th Division advanced through the "rubble" of Camp Rob erts, theoretically destroyed in a simulated atomic attack on "aggressor" forces.

Exercise Rocky Shoals, is the largest Army-Navy amphibious oper ation since 1950. The exercise is scheduled to continue - until Monday, when the troops will re-embark. A deer was the first major casualty of the operation. The two-point buck became ex cited during the troop landt ing Wednesday night and leaped into the surf. Navy frogmen fished the animal out and took it ashore, but it dropped dead of excite ment on the beach. Quake Rocks Northern Japan Sapporo, Japan - (UPD - A "very strong" ocean -bottom earthquake rocked northern Japan early today, causing considerable panic and some damage but no reported cas ualties. The, quake was clocked at force 8 on the Richter. scale, meaning it was. nearly as pow erful as the one that wrecked San Francisco in 1906. How ever, it was centered under the Pacific about 150 miles from land, so that its force was considerably dissipated by the time it hit Japan. In the other direction the wave caused waters to rise about a foot in the Hawaiian Islands, but no damage was reported. 21. Apparently ho action has been taken as yet. Public Hearing St The council called for a public hearing Nov. 20 on whether a sign by Ed Ander son's Super Thrift market, 711 South Central ave., is dangerous to the" public.
