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.

The Family Council
Editor's Note: The Family Council consists of a Judee. a psychia
trist, three clergymen, three editors and a women's editor. 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

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.
