"I am pleased indeed that this can be done without imposing ad ditional taxes," he added. The budget provides for expend itures of 110 million dollars more than the state is expected to re ceive in revenue. It will be balanced by draining the general fund the account from which the state pays day to day expenses plus drawing 102 million dollars from the rainy day fund and the state investment fund. Legislative Analyst A. Alan Post estimated that this would leave the stale with only $7,335 in the general fund, 20 million dollars in the rainy day fund and 103 million dollars in the invest ment fund. Of this latter, the leg islature lent B0 million dollars temporarily to the state highway Hind and the school construction fund.

Sedov said the rockets now used by the Russians could reach Mars as well as the Moon. But he said it would be another 20 years before man could be sent to the nearest planets. First, he said, ?Mhe problem of return to earth inents must be made with animal-carrying sputniks.

WASHINGTON (fl Two war ships carrying the bodies of three unknowns of World War II and the Korean War were steaming Satur day toward a rendezvous off the Virginia capes. There two of the dead will be nicked on Monday for burial at Arlington National Cemetery here1 on Memorial Day beside the un known soldier of World War I. The destroyer Blandy, west bound from a Mediterranean port with- the body of an unknown of World War II from the European area, was in the Western Atlantic Saturday. , The guided missile cruiser Bos ton cleared the U. S. naval base at Guantanamo, Cuba, Friday with the bodies of an unidentified man from the Pacific theatre in World War II and of a Korean War unknown. The two bodies were flown to Guantanamo from Hawaii. The Boston was at a point approximately east of Key West, Fla Saturday morning. The Bos ton and the Blandy will meet Mon day about 25 miles east of Nor folk, Va. In the ceremony Monday, a selection will be made from the identical caskets containing the bodies of the European and Pari fic area unknowns. The man not chosen will be buried at sea. The ceremony will be held aboard the missile cruiser Can berra. Then the Blandy. carrying the bodies of the remaining two unknowns, will start for Washing ton. The ship is due here Tuesday. Nationalist's Plan Banned TAIPEI, Formosa. (UPI) American officials showed little concern Friday over Nationalist China's threat to fight Communist China it Pciping sends troops to the Indonesian Civil War. The Nationalist Defense Minis try warned Friday that it will "interdict the movement',' of any Communist Chinese troops into the Indonesian area. Informed sources said the Na tionalist statement apparently was issued without prior consultation with the United States, which is helping support President Chiang Kai-Shek's military forces. "It looks like an exercise in sovereignty on the part of the Na tionalist government." a compet ent American source told United Press. "We are not taking it too serious ly. The issue raised is academic no one has moved yet." But Nationalist China's Central News Agency reported in a dis patch from Hong Kong that the Communist Chinese are organiz ing three divisions, largely from Korean War veterans, to be sent to Indonesia to fight for President Sukarno's government. Nationalist Chinese Foreign Min istry and military spokesman de clined to elaborate on the war threat communique.

Riffe taath tb Sunday Scnrictl 11 .m. but 104 millions more than the House voted. Separate legislation will provide actual funds. When the Senate takes up the authorization bill next week, the Kennedy amendment is expected to encounter opposition from group led by Sens. Styles Bridges 1 NH , chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Commit tee. and William F. Knowland Calif1, the Senate Republican leader. However, Kennedy said his pro posal would strengthen Eisenhow er's efforts to drive a wedge be tween the Soviet Union and its satellites and would hit the So viet Union "in its most vulnera ble spot." If adopted by both houses of Congress, it would pave the way for stepped up economic assist ance to such nations as Poland. Yugoslavia, Hungary, East Ger many or other satellites when there is evidence they are trying to break away from Soviet con trol. Sen. Homer E. Capehart (R - Ind) told reporters: "I think our own people are pretty well sold on the idea we ought to take their (the Soviets! nations away from them just as the Communists are trying to take our Latin American friends into the Soviet camp." Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont) assistant Democratic leader, said the Kennedy proposal is "an at tempt to take advantage of disor ders that may occur within the Soviet orbit," and help nations that wish to get away from Com munist denomination. Under the amendment, the Pres ident could provide aid to any country when he determines it would (1) strengthen U.S. secur ity by enabling "freedom loving peoples" to achieve a measure of independence from Soviet or Red Chinese domination or control, (2) strengthen their capacity to main tain independent national govern ment, or (3) reduce their econom ic dependence on the Soviet bloc in their efforts for further free dom. 1 Ihe President would be re quired to report any such determ inations immediately to appropri ate congressional committees. The amendment would confine the Battle Act s prohibitions against American aid to three countries Soviet Russia. Red Chi na and Communist North Korea. The bill provides a total of $3,062,900,000 in new aid authori zations. But authorizations carried over under previous law bring the over-all total to $3,707,100,000. One amendment adopted by the committee would pledge congres sional support for joining other nations in helping neutral India complete its economic develop ment plan. Still another amendment would bar U.S. military assistance to Latin American nations for pre serving "internal security." An outgrowth of mob attacks on Vice President Nixon in Venezue la and elsewhere, it is aimed at preventing a dictator from using such aid to crush internal opposi tion.

Paul Cost Of Love Hits New Top CHICAGO W An attorney's plea that "you may wonder if any woman's love is Worth $490,000" helped win the case Friday for his client, a Chicago physician. A circuit court panel deliber ated less than an hour, and award ed the $490,000 judgment to Dr. Leser Odell, 47. Odell had sued Dr. Emerson McVey, 46, a life long friend and best man at his wedding, for alienation of his wife's affections. Court observers called the award by the panel of seven worn en and five men the highest ever returned by an Illinois jury in such a case. "You may not think a woman's love is worth $490,000, but it genu inely was to the doctor. This other man (McVey) was his best friend . . . and betrayed him. Attorney Sol Friedman said. "I ask you members of the jury to serve notice to the world that the commandment, 'Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife,' is a commandment to be kept." Dr. Alcvey, now an obstetrician residing in Reno. Nev.. entered no defense in the case. He did not appear in court Friday. Odell testified McVey frequent ly visited him and his wife, Elaine, 30, and sometimes took her to plush night spots. Friedman said a daughter was born to Mrs. Odell April 5 and that a blood test showed Odell was not the father. McVey was divorced from his wife in 1956. Odell's wife has filed a divorce suit charging cruelty and desertion. Odell, in a cross bill, charges her with adultery and names McVey as co-respondent. Auto Workers Take New Vow DETROIT (UP) - United Auto Workers President Walter P. Reu ther vowed Saturday the giant un ion will sign no auto contracts with out better unemployment benefits, pensions and job transfer protec tion. If General Motors, Ford and Chrysler continue to stand pat on their two-year contract renewal of fer, Reuther said the union will stall bargaining all summer, or until the companies must start 1959 model production. Next week the big three auto contracts start running out and Reuther's ultimatum to the com panies was plain: Bargain on matters "which can not be deferred," or accept the chaotic" consequences while 500,- 000 employes work through the summer on a day-by-day basis, with or without a contract. A strike after contracts termi nate Friday midnight at General Motors and June 1 at Ford and Chrysler, Reuther said, would be "insane" in the face of a recession and 800.000 unsold new cars. He expressed the union's convic tion that the companies will not lock out the workers because they have a "moral responsibility" to keep the plants open. Fire Destroys Funeral Chapel MOUNT SHASTA '- An early Saturday morning fire completely destroyed Noble's Chapel Funeral Parlor, and the garage and living quarters in the rear of the estab lishment. The alarm was sounded at 7 a.m. and Bill Gutzler. assistant chief, was in command of the fire fighting equipment. The firemen had to use gas masks because of the tremen dous volume of smoke.

Investigation is being made to attempt to determine cause of the blaze. are blooming this compmg trip seriously Claim Junked Mansfield approved dismissal of charges against John C. Breckin ridge Friday. He told Circuit Court: i "It is my policy to consult with the prosecution witnesses before recommending dismissal. I made an effort to consult with them . . . they are not found." He noted a sheriff met a similar problem trying to serve the war rant on Breckinridge in 1862. Breckinridge was a general com manding a Confederate infantry division. The sheriff reported him not found. Breckinridge later served the South as secretary of war. He had been vice president at 35. He ran for president against Abraham Lincoln, then won a U.S. Senate seat in 1860. The Senate expelled him in 1861 for joining the Confederacy. He was indicted after Kentucky made it illegal for this state to enter the war. The indictment stood until dismissal was asked by the Civil War Round Table, a group interested in the war's history. After the war, Breckinridge fled to Cuba, then to Europe. Granted amnesty, he returned here in 1869. He practiced law until his death in 1875. Japanese Dies In Hotel Fall SAN FRANCISCO (UP)-Police decided Saturday that the death of a prominent Japanese scientist whose body was found beneath the open window of his second floor hotel room was "either suicide, ill ness or accident." The scientist, Dr. Masashi En ami, 44, a professor of the Uni versity of Gunma near Hiroshima, died of a fractured skull, presum ably from the fall from his hotel window.

There is NO NEED for Califor nia to fight over water. Enough water falls every year in California to take care of Cali fornia's water needs. The trouble is that the bulk of it falls in the north. So it has to be saved up in the north. What Southern Cali. fornia should do is to build the storage facilities that are needed in the north to save up the excess water that falls in the winter. That would solve the whole prob lem. So far, the Southland has re fused to do that.

Agricultural Tax Disputed PORTLAND un State Rep. George Annala (D-Hood River) said Friday that a 1957. state agricultural tax exemption la unfairly shifts the burden of tax ation from agricultural to non- agricultural land. Testifying before a subcommit tee of the Legislative Interim Committee on Taxation, he argued that the bill was passed because of political pressure from "a high otticial in our state government.!! He mentioned jio names. The law provides exemption from taxation for agricultural trees, shrubs, plants and crops. The measure was defended bjr State Sen. Walter Leth (R-Mon- mouthl, who said it corrected what had been an unfair situation. Another subcommittee met Fri day night to consider a sales tax designed to bring local school property tax relief. The group voted to ask the state Department of Education to workf'. on a formula for distribution o( funds from such a proposed tax. The committee also discussed how much the Legislature might best retain control of sales tax revenue, and how local control ol schools could be best maintained if such a law were effective.
