Is Th Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Kmn Washington: The United States ended the 1960 fiscal (money) year with a BIGGER BUDGET SURPLUS than It had expected. The treas ury department says in a report this morning: "The surplus reached $1,224, 000,000 (in round figures) or 156 million dollars MORE than the department had predicted in its preliminary calculation a few weeks ago." It worked out like this: Revenue 178,457,432,872.73 Expenditure 77,233,385,451.09 Surplus 1,224,047,421.64 What to do with the surplus? PAY IT ON THE DEBT! The first law of sound business Is that debts must be paid. The way to get the money to pay our debts is to spend less than we take in. In 'that direction lies the road to happiness. You may ask: Who's your authority for the statement that spending less than is taken In leads to happiness? The answer Is Mister Micawber -the charmingly inconsistent old windbag who enlivened the pages of Charles Dickens' immortal Da vid Copperfield. He was fond of lecturing on the values of THRIFT, and he liked to put the case to his hearers like this: "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nine teen six, result HAPPINESS. An nual income twenty pounds, an' nual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result MISERY." At this point, a thought occurs. Two or three generations ago, EVERYBODY was familiar with Charles Dickens, who is one of the immortals of English litera ture. Maybe he isn't as widely read NOW. Perhaps we'd better provide a profile of Mister Mi cawber. He was an old SPENDTHRIFT, He spent every farthing he could lay his hands on as fast as it came into his possession. He was always in debt. But he loved to ORATE about thrift. Let's put it this way: He was a perfect example of the modern "liberal ' politician Sober thought in conclusion: For lo these many years our "liberal" politicians have spent it as freely as Mr. Micawber spent it. The result is a national debt of nearly three hundred billion dollars, And- A situation in which it is be ginning to look like we may not have gold enough to meet our commitments under the interna tional system of balance of inter national payments. The result of that is misery! No Relief In Sight By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Oregon shivered under a third straight day of chilling cold today with no immediate relief in sight, Forecasters had expected a storm front off the coast to move in over the Pacific Northwest, bringing warming rain.

Joseph Mobutu be disarmed. Wadsworth asserted, ;"lt is no torious that the Soviet Union has used all available means to de stroy the U.N. effort in the Congo, has intervened unilaterally to send military supplies, and in its latest declaration it implies a threat to do so again." Professor Gets County Position CORVALLIS (AP)-Dr. W. L. Van Loan, professor of education at Oregon State College, will serve as Benton County school superin tendent on a part-time basis be ginning January 1. Van Loan was appointed by the Rural School Board, which takes over operation of the superintend ent's office under a new state law. The law becomes effective in the county upon the retirement of Mrs. Helen Baker, elected super-j intendent, who retires at the endj of the year. The law makes the position appointive rather than elective upon the changeover. Van Loan will continue his duties at OSC. He will carry out the requirements of the superin tendent's office on a minimum basis for the balance of the school year, or until the rural board de termines how it wants to oper ate the office.

Jack, a West Indies emigrant who fought his way to the top in the city's rough and tumble Dem ocratic politics, is the highest ranking Negro municipal office holder in the nation. The verdict late Tuesday by an all-white jury stunned Jack, 55. His attorney said that he would appeal and that Jack would not resign. The city charter, however, makes it plain that any public of ficeholder convicted of a crime automatically forfeits his job. A spokesman for Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller said it was his under standing that with the conviction, Jack is now out of office and that no action by the Republican gov ernor is necessary. Jack could receive misde meanor jail sentences totaling three years, plus fines of $1,500. He will be sentenced Jan. 16. The Arizona got it worst of all. She took a school of torpedoes.

'Blue Laws' Challenge In WASHINGTON (AP) - State laws which forbid commercial ac tivities on Sunday faced their. most serious legal challenge in many years today. Faced with conflicting rulings hy lower courts, the Supreme Court called for arguments today and Thursday involving the valid ity of Sunday closing laws com monly known as blue laws in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Other appeals pending from Ohio and South Carolina also would be affected by whatever ruling the court eventually hands down. Constitutionality of the' state blue laws had been pretty much taken for granted until recently, when a federal court in Boston struck down a Massachusetts law. The court ruled that the law dis criminates against those -who ob- Crossfield Makes Final X-J5 Hop; Eyes Rockets EDWARDS' AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) - Test pilot Scott Crossfield, who made his final flight in the X15 Tuesday, hopes his next trip in a rocket snip will be aboard a similar craft boosted into space by an Atlas missile. "I'm out of work now," he said after putting the X15 through its toughest test to date a 90-dcgree turn at full throttle which he said made him feel like he had six men sitting on his chest. But there must be airplanes beyond the X15. The unprecedent ed success of the X15 three suc cessful flights' in a row with the big engine proves there's no rea son why we shouldn't continue on with something like this air plane." His company, Norlh American Aviation, Inc., has suggested send ing men into space in advanced versions of the X15, which would be placed like a second stage atop an intercontinental missile. Such planes, the company "feels, could be used as ferries between satel lites and the earth and might even be modified to go into orbit. Asked if he would like to be the first to fly such a craft, the 38-year-old test pilot said: "Of course I d like to fly it. You can make pretty good book that II such a project is ever approved, I'll be involved in It.

This department," Kennedy said in his statement, "is the guardian of that natural wealth which is the foundation of our present greatness and the key to our future progress. "The coming years will witness an enormous increase in our need for natural resources if we are to meet our expanding commit ments to our own people and to the free world." Only a vigorous and imagina tive administration of the Depart ment of the Interior can assure us of the strength to meet those commitments," he said.
