(UPI Telephoto) Increase in Budget For Civilian Space Program Predicted Washington - I1JPD - Chair man Overton Brooks of the House Space committee says he looks for a big boost in the nation's civilian space budget under the new admin istration of President - elect John F. Kennedy. The Louisiana Democrat told United Press Internation al he expects the National Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration will increase its spending by more than 50 per cent - from just over $900 million in fiscal year 1961 to $1.5 billion in fiscal year 1962. Baiie Minimum - Brooks said he considered the $1.5 billion space budget for the year beginning July 1 as "basic minimum" under which the nation's peaceful exploration of outer space could be carried forward. ' Though no official word has leaked out about how much President Eiserthower's advisors will ask Congress for in January, it is believed the out-going administration's re quest will be a good deal be low the minimum set by Brooks. But it is presumed the new civilian space agency boss ap pointed by Kennedy will have the opportunity to ask Con gress for a boost in the last appropriation request put for ward by the Republican ad ministration. Brooks, who said he hoped to confer with Kennedy in late December or early Janu ary, criticized NASA for not pushing its space programs hard enough during the last three years "They just haven't had the proper sense of urgency need ed to meet the tough competi tion from Russia," he said. Projects Lilted Brooks listed three separate projects which he said should receive substantially more fi nancial support. They are: -Project Mercury, eventual ly designed to place a man in orbit around the earth. -Saturn, a 1.5 million pound thrust cluster of rocket engines designed to enable America to catch up and per haps surpass the Soviet Union in lifting heavy payload into space. -Rover, a joint Atomic En ergy commission-NASA proj ect aimed at developing an atomic rocket to carry man ned missions to the moon and planets. In other developments, the Louisiana lawmaker announc ed plans for a thorough com mittee review of America's lagging program to place a man in space. 4-H Club News Teatimeri The Tealimers held their first meeting of the year Dec. 2.

Bach article is a summary of an actual case history. The Council reports on problems that have been deait with by responsible agencies and counselors. Theresa F.-He's wonderful company, but wants me to pay half. Alexander B.-At our age we want companions, not meal tickets. Theresa F.-I'm a widow of 49, with three grown chil dren. Two are married and the third is away at school, so I live alone. For the past three years I ve been dating a widower of 58 who is a li brarian, like myself. We work in different branch libraries, and his salary is much higher than mine since he has work ed longer and more steadily. We go on drives together, swim and relax, and get along famously until we get on the subject of marriage. Then were at loggerheads over money. I overlook his "tightness" on dates where we take turns paying for everything-even the late papers! But Al wants me to agree to a 50-50 mar riage budget, from rent down, and to me that s not one bit romantic. I tell him he might just as well take in a roomer if all he wants is to split his expenses. He feels I have much more money than he has, due to my late husband's estate. The truth is that there isn t much and what there is has been going fast on my children. I certainly won't ask him to spend anything on them. But I'd like to see some solicitude on his part for me, some pro- tectiveness offered toward a wife. His main affection is his bank account. Why should I compete? Alexander B.-While I'm ex tremely fond of Terry and would like to marry her, I can't let myself go out on the limb I shivered on 12 years ago when my wife died. Her long illness took my savings and I had to borrow on my pension to see my son through college. It was a nightmare. Now at last I'm all paid up and feeling more secure, with a good pension due in a few years and a modest bank balance. I feel Terry and I are ma ture and sensible enough for plain talk. Second marriages are more for companionship than love, anyway. If we each want to avoid loneliness, if she wants a lifetime escort and I want a steady pal, can't we work out some fair finan cial arrangement to make this possible? From what I've heard, she's in a more secure position than Major Jobless Areas Classified Washington - IUPD - The La bor Department Tuesday clas sified nine major industrial centers as areas of "substan tial" unemployment, placing more than one-third of the na tion's big factory communities in this category. i The nine major areas newlv classified as substantial un employment centers were Bridgeport and Waterbury, Conn., South Bend, Forty Wayne and Garry-Hammond-East Chicago, Ind., Spokane, Wash., Hamilton - Middleton, Ohio, Steubenville-Weirton, Ohio-W. Va., and San Ber nardino - Riverside- Ontario, Calif. The smaller communities added to the list were Eureka and Ukiah, Calif., Pueblo, Colo., Ashtabula - Conneaut and Kent-Ravenna, Ohio, Bris tol-John City - K i, n g s port Tenn.-Va., Provo, Utah, and New Martinsville, W. Va.-Ohio. I am. If she quit working she'd still have some income from her husband's money. But she even asked me to change the beneficiary of my pension from my son to her, as a con dition to marrying me! Her children were helped by their father, why not my son? How can such a pleasant woman be so mercenary? My idea is that by keeping things 50-50 in our home, we'll never get into money arguments. The Council: If these two ever turn into a bridal cou ple, the first piece of furniture they'll need for their new home will be a tabulating machine. From Alexander's fallacious idea of second marriages and Theresa's muddled dickering comes this impasse. To him we say, the only basis for a solid marriage is love, regard less of age or previous matri monial bliss. And to her, Dutch-treating is all right on lunch dates with the girls or casual friends, but with a suitor, better an ice cream cone he pays for than a steak dinner where you split the check. Better for love, that is. Without love, of course, there is no trust. And without trust, there's suspicion and preoccupation with self-preservation. Love asks, What can I do for you? These two, par ticularly Alexander, ask, What can you do for me? . The only hope for a union between these otherwise com patible people is to decide whether they love each other enough to lay their financial cards on the table and, per haps with the aid of a neutral friend, set up a program to give them each peace of mind without demeaning Theresa as a wife.' Under Al's plan she'd feel like a roommate. They might agree to live within Al's salary so far as regular household expenses go. When he retires, Theresa should have a choice as to whether to continue working Her money can be earmarked for the "cushions" of their life together, such as extra help, clothes, travel treats. But if Al wants her, say, to quit and travel with him, he might make the reassuring gesture of assigning part of his pension to her, as his con tribution to her future security. Part of Theresa's money, of course, will be used on her three children. Al's nest egg must not be threatened by their demands. But in return Biffs on Farm Land Taxation Planned Corvallis - 0IPD - To bills to set new procedures for taxing farm lands in Oregon will be submitted to the 1961 legisla ture by the Interim Commit tee on Agriculture, San. Fran cis Zicgler, chairman, reveal ed Tuesday. The bills, in effect, oppose the recommendations of the Interim Committee on Taxa tion, Zicgler said. RETIRED BROKER DIES North Tarrytov n, N.Y.-IUPII J. W. Moore Richardson, 66, retired stock holder, died Tuesday in Phelps Memorial hospital. for a devoted wife, Al must assume the duties of a hus band, one of which is to cher ish and protect. If Al doesn't see the light, Theresa would do well to drop him and his 50-50 ulti matum. She'd do better with a man with 20-20 vision in this area.
