Kennedy Will Submit Special Defense Budget Washington -flIPD- President Kennedy told congressional leaders today that a forth coming request for defense spending will throw his new budget out of balance. The President said he would send to Congress Friday a balanced budget. But he said he would submit a special defense budget next week call ing for greater funds which would put the government in the red for the fiscal year beginning July 1. Kennedy discussed spend ing at his regular weekly meeljng with the Democratic legislative chiefs. He also ad vised them that he will pro pose a tighter concentration of the foreign aid program which one leader said would reduce waste and duplication Speaker Sam Rayburn told reporters after the meeting that the House is "going to pass something" to increase the federal minimum wage Rayburn was asked if it WHICH WOULD HELP YOUR FAMILY MORE? Dividends from common stock or growth in its value? Good question. If what you'd like most Is income now so that dividends can take care of some of those current bills then you'll put emphasis on the dividends a stock has been paying. But if you're looking mostly to the future, with those growing family expenses in mind, then you'll probably be more interested in stock that seems most likely to grow in value. Or you may find bonds and preferred stock, with their more stable interest or dividends, better suited to your needs., Here's how it works When you buy common stock, you become part owner of a business. If the company makes a profit, you could share in that profit through dividends. If it grows, the value of your stock could grow, too. Of course, if the company didn't prosper, it wouldn't pay dividends, and the value of your stock would most likely decline. Which companies will do best? American business has grown and over the long pull should continue to grow. In the next ten to twenty years there will be more families and more children. They'll need more food, clothes and housing. Our large businesses will have to provide more goods, more transportation, more power. And America will have to produce more raw material to make these things. That means that many businesses will grow. Who will own those growing businesses? Today, there are more than lVi million shareowners. More than half have family incomes of less than $10,000 a year. Why not consider joining them? If you have money over and above your regular living expenses and provision for emer gencies you owe it to your family at least to look into the opportunities investing offers.

Please aend me, free, "dividends over tub years, baalo guldo was correct that the general budget revisions that will be sent to Congress Friday would call for a balance between spending and revenues but that a separate defense budget, to be proposed next week would call for deficit spend ing. "That, I think, might be a correct statement,' Rayburn said. Asked if the deficit would be in the area of $1 billion Rayburn said he did not know. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield told reporters the President had briefed the leaders on his new foreign aid proposals, which he will send to the House and Senate in a special message Wednesday. Manstieid sa d the fore en aid message would be limited to economic assistance and that military aid would be contained in the defense budg et. He said he did not know whether this was a contribut ing factor to the proposed de- licit in defense spending. 'Making Good Progress' "l Mink he should be." Rav- burn replied. "I think we are making pretty good progress ine speaker said the House was having a "pretty big day' today taking up the House- Senate conference report on feed grain, and then planning 10 cieni with sugar legislation and a military construction bill before considering the minimum wage measure. Rayburn said the minimum wage bill probably would come up Wednesday and be considered for the remainder of the week. He said he ex pected "at least two days of general debate." Next week, he said, he hopes the House will com plete, action on a depressed areas bill and a Post Office- Treasury appropriation be fore beginning its Easter re cess Thursday.

Walter Pearson and an AFL-CIO wit ness Monday over whether a tax reform package wrapped around a sales tax should be referred to the voters. AFL - CIO spokesman Tom Scafllon told the Senate Tax Committee its job was to cull out bad bills right at the start. This, he said, was a bad pro posal. Pearson, a onetime sales tax foe but sponsor of the current package, said the voters should have a new chance to express their views. A sales tax measure was defeated sev eral years ago. You re afraid they re going to approve a sales tax this time," the Portland Democrat told Scanlon. Schools Would Benefit The sales tax would be ear marked for schools, thus serv' ing to reduce local property taxes. A 20 mill ceiling would be placed on property tax levies, based on true cash value. In addition, state in come tax exemptions would be increased. The whole thing would de pend on voter approval of a constitutional amendment in 1962. People cannot pay their property taxes . . . the sooner you get that through your heod and the AFL-CIO, the better you're going to stand with the public, Pearson told Scanlon. "It costs us a great deal of money to fight on the ballot a proposition we are opposed to," Scanlon said. "Oregon has been In a fa vorable fiscal position over the years," Scanlon said, "and we consistently support the tax we have now."

HOW TO TELL A DODGE FROM A DODGE Identifying a Dodge has become a problem. Because now there are two, Compact Dodge Lancor. Full-size Dodge Dart. There is an obvious difference. Size, inside and out. Dart, the lower picture, is the larger. But otherwise they are very much alike. Both have a unitized, rust-proofed body. A superb ride called Torsion-Aire. A battery-saving alternator. And both have optional three-speed push button automatic transmissions. Another difference is STANDARD OR COMPACT YOU GET A GREAT DEAL WITH DODGE price. Dart, the full-size Dodge, is priced model for model wilh Ford and Chevrolet. The compact Dodge Lancer costs about the same as Comet, Falcon and Corvair. Get to know them better.

The man who offers this opinion, based on 32 years of taking pictures, is freelance writer and photographer Nor man Rothschild of New York, whose sometimes beautiful, sometimes bizarre and always unusual color photographs ap pear in national photographic and other magazines. Not that Rothschild dislikes gadgets - on the contrary, some of his best pictures are made with the aid of things like light meter grids, dif fraction gratings, polarizing filters, and special lens dia phragms cut to odd shapes. But the money he spends on these things is almost nothing - 60 cents for a war-surplus lens, for example - compared with the amount of film he expends while experimenting Multiple Images One of his favorite tricks is to produce multiple images of a subject by shooting through more than one lens nt a time. He glues two to seven former box camera lens over quarter inch holes in a lens board, for example, and produces in triguing pattern shots on 4x5 film In an old speed graphic camera, the former standard equipment of newspaper pho tographers. Or he uses an exposure meter grid instead ot a lens and obtains dozens of dupli cate images on a single frame of 35 mm film. He doesn't worry about whether the results are "art, and he ignores critics who ob ject to the use of gadgets and "tricks." "I'm curious about all the different ways it is possible to make a photographic image," Rothschild says. "No photo is a literal reproduction of the subject photographed. Even a straight photo of a flowerpot on a window sill is not actual ly the flowerpot - the image varies in size and perspective, for example, when taken from different distances. "Of course, there are cer tain rules to the game, set by each photographer, and he must either stick to them or spoil the game. For example. I don't go in for doctoring prints, no swabbing with bleaches or that sort of thing. Why waste time with hand retouching? There are so many paths to explore willr regular methods that we can never cover them all." Acquired Several Cameras Rothschild has been explor ing the world of photography for 32 years. He began taking pictures with an old 4x5 Ko dak plate camera, shooting glass plates and sheet film. Over the year he has acquired several other cameras some big, some smalt, but each one obtained for some special type of use. Hp experiments with ex posure, lighting, angles, de liberate camera movement, and even zooms a zoom lens with the shutter open during a handheld lime exposure.

The testimony came on a pro posed constitutional amend ment to increase the House and Senate by one member, to 61 and 31. The Senate would be appor tioned strictly on a population basis, but the House would take land area into account, raising representation east of the Cascades from 12 to 18. Rep. George Annala (D Hood River) chairman of the committee, sponsored the plan. An orchardist, he cited his own income and expenses as a contribution to Oregon. Hearing Set The committee set a 'hear ing, meanwhile, for this eve ning at 7:30 to hash out its current problem-reapportion-ment under the existing con stitution, since, Annala's plan could not go into effect until voters okayed an increase in the size of the legislature. The committee heard strong bipartisan support from Dem ocratic Chairman. Robert Straub and former GOP Dr. Chance Moves Office To CP Central Point Dr. Edward V.
