Still more may be needed in, later years, Kennedy said, although he hoped to achieve economies in the "full reap praisal" of defense still under way. $650 Million Increase .To finance his proposals in fiscal 1962 and future years, Kennedy asked Congress to appropriate $1,954 billion more than the $41.84 billion Open Monday & Furniture Clearance 2 ONLY - SOFA BED & ROCKER Nylon Cover Reg. 159.95 1 ONLY SOFA BED & ROCKER Nylon Cover Kl... 1 OA88 Reg. 199.95 1 ONLY -3 PIECE Reversible Foam Cushion Modern, , 3 ONLY -3 PIECE 100 Nylon Foam Cushions 2 ONLY -3 PIECE 100 Nylon, Foam Cushions & Back 1 ONLY -3 PIECE Foam Cushion,, B.,fl. 2 ONLY SOFA AND CHAIR Reversible Foam Cushions, Hand Tied Base-Hard- ZVT Now 33988 3 ONLY -HIDE A 100 Nylon Reversible Cushions 53"x74" Bed 2 ONLY -HIDE A BEDS 100 Nylon Reversible Cushions 220 Coll Mattress 4 ONLY-SWIVEL ROCKERS Supported Back-Plastic Ball Bearing 0088 Swivel, Reversible Cushion-Reg. 109.95 999 5 ONLY RECLINER Supported Back, Plastic Choice of Brown, Tan, Red Oxblood - Reg. 109.95 DIAMOND JUBILEE SPECIAL 3 Position Recliner, Reversible Foam Cushion Bull, by9S,r lounger 488 SEARS EARLY AMERICAN FURNITURE REDUCED IN PRICE Sofa Bed, Now 129.88 Rocker 74.88 Arm Chair 69.88 SOLID MAPLE Double Dresser 119.88 Chest, 5 drawers 79.88 Book Case Bed 59.88 5 PC.

Eisenhower proposed just before leaving office. The $650 million increase is for spending in fiscal 1962 oniy. Even with that increase, the President found it necessary to slash $430 million from present programs.. He killed outright the 15-year-old nu clear aircraft project on which $1 billion has been spent. He cut the 2,000 m.p.h. B70 bomber to the bone, leaving it a research project instead of a weapons development. He cancelled plans to put Polaris missiles on the nuclear cruiser Long Beach. He cancelled two of the planned 14 squadrons of liq uid fueled Titan interconti nental missiles on grounds he could buy more of the faster firing solid-fueled Minuteman missiles in the same time period. . .

NOW 18M SAVE, SAVE, SAVE Friday Night DELIVERS Up To $200 his revised military plan on two main concepts: -To develop a missile and bomber retaliatory force that is so well protected, in mobile or hard, underground sites, that even after receiving a surprise nuclear blow the Uni ted States could strike back "with devastating power." -To strengthen limited war forces - with new convention al weapons, a new type of short -takeoff fighter plane, better sea and airlift - to pre vent the free world's security from "being slowly nibbled away at the periphery." He said such non-nuclear wars and guerilla actions have been "the most active and constant threat" since 1943. Kennedy's proposals were more moderate than expected on the basis of longstanding Democratic criticism of the former GOP administration. One New Battle Group In military manpower, he proposed an increase of just 13,000 to a new total of 2,306, 000 - much less than had been widely forecast. Instead of any new divisions, the Army would get 5,000 men for one new battle group and in creased guerilla units. The Marines would increase by 5 Children Out of Fourth Floor Window by Spinster Glasgow, Scotland - (U7D James Haining, 45, had just returned home from work when he heard two sickening thuds outside his first-floor apartment owToryglen st.

Two More Coming Down "I half caught him on my shoulder before he fell to the ground-but before I could do anything else, I looked up and saw two more kiddies on their way down," Haining said. "I felt so helpless. There was nothing I could do." Four - year - old Marjory Hughes-her fair hair matted over her face, her gym slip and coat splattered with blood -was dead. Marjory's four playmates lay motionless nearby-all ser iously Injured. Danny Mc Neill, 7, was rushed to a hos pital unconscious. Doctors may have to operate for brain injuries.

Besides the missile build-up, Kennedy proposed two meas ures for protecting the na tion's retaliatory strength. Half the Strategic Air Com mand's estimated 1,600 bomb ers will be kept on ground alert ready for lS-mlnute take-off. An additional $60 million will be spent to hasten development of the Midas satellite, designed to give 30 minutes warning of a missile attack. Should Increase Goal The star of the piece, how ever, was the Polaris missile and its nuclear-powered sub marine. Kennedy earmarked $1.34 billion of the total re-, quest for $1,094 In new ap propriations for the Polaris program alone. It would be spent over the next four years. , ' . He said the present goal of 19 Polaris subs should be in creased to 29 and they should all be at sea by . 1965, two years earlier than possible at present building rates. '.. "The -"sooner they are on station, the safer we will be," he said. Two are on station .now, with 16 missiles each. Thrown not at the building where the tragedy occurred. Spinster Arrested Jean Barclay Waddell, a 37-year-old spinster, was arrested Monday night and was charg ed before a magistrate today with murder and attempted murder. . She offered no explanation and did not speak at the brief court appearance except to say "yes" when her name was called. Police gave no details on why the woman did it. Shortly before 6 p.m. Mon day the group of youngsters broke off a game of marbles and went into the building "to look at some newborn pups." Moments later the young sters hurtled one by one and in quick succesion 40 feet from a fourth-floor window.

The stale has 600,000 acres of offshore lands extending from the coast three miles out to sea. k . ; The committee labored for three hours Monday afternoon over numerous amendments and voted to have the bill re printed. Chairman Clinton P. Haight Jr. (D-Baker) said he will call a special meeting when the reprinted bill is returned later in the week. Passage Predicted He predicted passage by both the House and Senate. "It's a good bill," he said. "Every possible safeguard is written into it and we feel Oregon's coast and its re sources are fully protected." William H. Hedlund of Portland, attorney for seven companies in the Western Oil and Gas association, said there are items in the bill "we're not keen about, but we think we can live with it." The bill would allow the Oregon Land Board to lease slices of the tidelands for oil exploration. The slices would be six miles along the coast line and three miles seaward, about 13,000 square feet. The committee rejected an industry request to reduce the proposed minimum annual rental fee of 50 cents an acre to 20 cents. Fifty cents is what the federal government and most other states demand. . The state would collect royalties on any oil fund. Oih.r Highlights Dentists - The House Ju diciary committee had a hear ing on a Senate-approved bill which opponents say is design ed to prevent dentists from advertising. The Oregon Den tal association disagrees, say ing that new powers the bill would grant to the State Board of Dental examiners would merely allow dentists to "police" the profession. Health - The Senate State and Federal Affairs commit tee voted out "do pass" a bill giving the governor more leeway in making appoint ments to the State Board of Health. Elections - The House Elec tions committee approved House Speaker Robert Dun can's request to prepare a bill moving the Oregon primary election from May to Sep tember. Duncan says the six month campaign from May to the November general elec tion is too long. Moonlighting - A bill to permit public employees to hold more than one job with their employers' consent fail ed in the Senate 13-13. It would have removed the ban against moonlighting in Mult nomah county. Apportion - The House voted 36-22 in favor of a Re publican - rural backed reap portionment plan that would make little change in the present legislative makeup. Gravel Operators Opposed To Bill Salem-IUPD-Snnd and gravel operators bitterly opposed Monday a bill that one spokesman said discriminates against them because they poke into streams that may be near fish spawning beds. The House Fish and Game Committee had a hearing on HB1637 which would require any public body to check with the State Fish Commis sion before issuing dredging permits. Fish conservationists have complained gravel operators arc tearing out valuable spawning beds. Howard Hinsdale of Reeds port, owner of the Umpqua River Navigation Co., ques tioned the amount of damage that is being done to salmon by gravel operators. BARKER'S EXTENDED CREDIT PUN . . .

Medford, Ore., to build a $6 million earth-fill dam on the Klamath river instead of two stage concrete arch dam. The FPC Monday amended a license issued to permit the change in the Iron Gate Hy droelectric Project on the Klamath river in Siskiyou County, Calif. The firm's original license called for a reinforced con crete arch dam about 65 feet high which would cost $1,835 000. The utility planned to in crease the height of the dam to 170 feet in 1967 and build a powerhouse with a generating capacity of 25,000 kilowatts. The change in the license now calls for a $6,585,330 earth-fill dam 173 feet high creating a reservoir of 58,000 acre feet and with power house capacity of 18,000 kilowatts. i kt ' It was their third trial for surgeon's wife. To Appeal Verdict gas chamber for conspiracy. Conspiracy to murder car ries the same penalty as first degree murder. And Prosecu tor Clifford Crail immediate ly announced he would seek the death penalty for both lovers. "It's unlikely Carole will get the gas chamber after a second-degree conviction," a legal expert said. "The con spiracy was important to tie in with Finche's first-degree conviction to point up the premeditation." The jury, which was sent home, reconvenes on Monday to hear further arguments and evidence before deciding on a sentence. The end came suddenly for the couple, accused of the gunshot killing of Finch's so cialite wife, Barbara Jean, 33 on July 18, 1959. Deliberated 21 Hours ' .

And five days later, he got a prompt reply from tho client, asking him to clear up a point that wasn't quite clear. So he wrote again, and he got another prompt reply from the client which said, "Thanks very much. But while I was waiting for your second letter, your competitor called me Long Distance.
