UP1 Telephoto) GOP Legislative Leaders Attack Defense Budget Washington - (UPD - Repub lican legislative leaders charg ed today that the Kennedy administration is embarking on a "deficit decade" and "will not be bothered by mak ing the books balance." The GOP budget salvo was fired as both parties in Con gress made it clear President Kennedy might not be able to carry out his deep cutback in the 870 super-bomber pro gram, one "saving" in his $43.8 billion defense budget. In a joint budget statement, Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen and House Leader Charles A. Haileck said the administration began by claim ing that underestimates by the E i s e n hower administration turned a small surplus into an $800 million deficit for fiscal 1861. In addition, the Republicans said, the administration set up "two sets of books" - one for general spending, the other for defense and proposed to hike defense spending by "an other two-thirds of a billion for the year ending June 30, 1962, with a hint that it might be more. "The net of all this is pret ty plain," they concluded. "The new fiscal frontier bal ance sheet will be in the red on June 30; it will be a deep er red on June 30, 1962. The debt ceiling will have to be lifted. And the deficit decade will have a pretty good start." On the B70 issue, one key Democrat predicted Congress would balk at the proposal. - The prediction by a law- Two Vehicles Are Involved in Mishap Vehicles driven by Maxwell J. Hawks, Shady Cove, and Melvin Howard Franklin, 613 Franquette st., Medford, were involved in a collision on Hlrnway 62 yesterday, one- fourth of a miie south of the Desert Service station, state police said. No injuries were reported. Franklin was northbound and attempting to pass three or four other cars when he met the Hawks pickup truck, and forced it off onto the shoulder. The left front end of Hawks' truck hit the left rear of the Franklin car, and spun it around on the high way, state police explained.

In creases in missile and ground force strength proposed in his $2 billion request generally were applauded. Rep. Edgar W. Heistand R- Caiif.), whose state would feel the economic impact of the B70 cutback, called it a "trag ic blow to the national secur ity of the United States." North American Aaviation company, which is located in California, is the B70 devel oper. Kennedy advised Congress that the missile build-up con templated in his budget revi sion makes the B70 manned bomber program "unnecessary and economically unjustifia ble ... at this time." But to "preserve the op tion" of developing the plane as a weapons system later, the President recommended that the B70 program be car ried forward as a research project.
