The only area really to es

day. But it was 27 below in
International Falls, Minn.
A cloud cover held off the
brunt of the arctic cold front
in the Texas Rio Grande Val

peratures in the upper 20s still
spelled damage to tender
plants and trees.
Some farmers said the to

peppers and lettuce extensive

lives and caused millions of
dollars damage across the na
tion during the frigid week
end.

killed in fires.
Fire killed five members of
one family at Bonanza, Utah,
and four children died in a
fire at Hammond, Ind. There
were multi-million dollar fires
at Peoria, 111., and Pine Bluff,
Ark.
Many of the fires broke out
as homemakers and janitors
turned up the heat during a
vast cold spell that reached
into 48 states.
Mr. and Mrs. Marion Mad
sen and three of their children
perished at Bonanza when
their cabin home burned to
the ground early Saturday

From PaejeOn
Kennedy Calls for Establishment of Youth
Organization Patterned After Peace Corps
The President said in this
connection that his new fiscal
1984 budget, which goes to
Congress Thursday, will be
cut below this year's level ex
cept for defense, space and
interest on the national debt.
All of these three categories
will be higher next year.
Kennedy underscored h t s
determination to make tax re
duction the No. 1 legislative
issue this year by dealing only
In very general terms with
such controversial New Fron
tier proposals as medical caro
for the aged, aid to education,
farm policy and youth train
ing. He promised to cover
them in later messages.
He did call for establish
ment of a youth organization
patterned after the overseas
Peace Corps to help com
munity needs at home. He
suggested that members could
be used in mental hospitals,
or Indian reservations, and at
training centers for the aged
and young delinquents.
Cold War Calmed
In discussing world affairs,
the chief executive said the
cold war struggle has calmed
in the wake of the Cuban mis
sile crisis. He also noted the
split between , Moscow and
Peking and the eye-opening
effect on neutral nations of
Red China's "arrogant in
vasion of India."
But' he foresaw "no spec
tacular reversal in Commu
nist methods xr goals." Neith
er did he mention any hope
for settlements in such world
trouble spots as West Berlin
or South Viet Nam.
"A moment of pause is not
a promise of peace," Kennedy
said. "Dangerous problems re
main from Cuba to the South
China Seas. The world's prog
nosis prescribes not a year's
vacation, but a year of obliga
tion and opportunity."
Kennedy said his tax pro
posal was designed to correct
an obsolete revenue system
which is putting too heavy a
drag on private purchasing
power, profits and employ
ment.
Kennedy said the reduc
tions must be accompanied by
lax reforms or "selected struc
tural reforms" beginning in
1964 to broaden the tax base,
"end unfair or unnecessary
preferences, remove or light
en certain hardships."
Reduction of Expenditures
Kennedy recognized that
economy advocates in Cong
ress soon would start shooting
at his fiscal plans. He tried to
counter some of their volleys
in advance. It was in this con
nection that he promised to
cut total spending except for
defense, space and fixed in
terest. To hold down expenditures,
he added, will require "reduc
tion or postponement of many
desirable programs." He said
it would also require absorp
tion of a large part of last
year's federal pay raise
"through personnel and other
economies," plus closing down
certain unspecified govern
ment installations and pro
jects.
Aonther economy require
ment on which he did not elab
orate was "the substitution in
several programs of private
for public credit."
For economy advocates who
would delay tax reduction un
til an end to the cold war
makes possible a comparable
cut in expenditures, Kennedy
said "that end is not in view
and to wish for it would be
cosily and self-defeating."
Paths Toward Peace
In surveying the interna
tional scene, the President
thought conditions from the
non-Communist viewpoint im
proved in 1962. But he cau
tioned repeatedly against
"complacency or self-congratulation"
and listed "special
avenues" for 1963 over which
the world might travel closer
to durable peace:
Atlantic alliance: Conced
ing the existence of "honest
differences among honorable
associates," the President said
"ways must be found without
increasing the hazards of nu
clear diffusion, to Increase the
role of our other partners in
planning, manning and direct
ing a truly multilateral nuc
lear force wilhln an increas
ingly Intimate NATO al
liance." He also called for
greater NATO conventional
weapons strength, saying the
alliance could not afford "to
be in a position of having to
answer every threat with nuc
lear weapons or nothing."
Foreign aid: He said assist
ance, not only from the Unit
ed States, but from prosperous

New Frontier legislation than
he was in his first two State of
the Union messages. This may
reflect Kennedy's feeling that
last November's congressional
elections indicated the nation
was pretty evenly divided.
