U.O? ORE.tlBRARt

By FRANK JENKINS
President Kennedy sent to Con
gress yesterday the biggest budg
et in United States history a
colossal 98 BILLION, 802 million
dollar financial plan, which he
said would permit the efficient
and FRUGAL lyes, he used that
word i conduct of the public busi
ness. This proposed budget for next
year is $499 million MORE than
the previous record budget of
$98,303,000,000 in WARTIME 1945.
Which is to say:
In this year of supposed peace,
we propose to spend half a billion
dollars more than we spent in
the final year of the greatest
war in our history which was
also the greatest war in the his
tory of the world.
And -
At the same time
Our President proposes to CUT
TAXES.
In its net results, President
Kennedy's budget for the fiscal
year 1964 (meaning his estimate
of what we will spend and what
we will take in) will look like
this:
Income $86,900,000,000
Spending 98,802.000,000
DEFICIT 11,902,000,000
.' Chilling thought:
In 1940, less than two and a half
decades ago, the total expendi
tures of the federal government
of the United States were only
$9,062,032,204. In the fiscal year
1964, expenditures will be $98,
802.000.000. The DEFICIT in fiscal 1964 will
be $2.8 BILLION MORE than the
ENTIRE OPERATING COST of
the government of the United
States only 24 years ago. '
Interesting question:
WHITHER ARE WE BOUND?
Another chilling thought:
Back in 1940, only two and a
half decades ago, the total ex
penditures of the federal govern
ment of the United btalcs were a
trifle more than nine billion dol
lars. At the end of fiscal year 1964.
the national debt of the United
States is expected to be $315 bil
lion, 604 million.
And, by that time, INTEREST
on the national debt, it is anti
cipated, will amount to more than
the entire expenditures of the
federal government back in 1940.
In conclusion:
It's quite a world we're living
in. isn't it?
One can't help wondering what
Benjamin Franklin would have
thought of it all if he could have
foreseen the fiscal situation of the
1960s.

ELISABETHVILLE, Katanga.
:The Congo (UPD-U.N. forces

into the Katangese stronghold of
Kolwezi on the basis of an agree

N'Gubu. 60 miles casi of KoUczi.
An agreement between Tshom

day stipulated the U.N. take-over
of Kolwezi would be completed
peacefully by Monday. The agree
ment followed Tshombe s an
nouncement Tuesday of surrender
in the face of U.N. military pres
sure. An estimated 2.0O1 Katangese
gendarmes and 300 white mercen
aries were massed at Kolwezi,

Konrad Adenauer. He previously

Long Budget
Fight Seen
WASHINGTON IUPD -Repub
lican attacks on President Ken
nedy's record budget pointed to
day to a session-long battle that
could figure heavily in hopes for
a substantial tax cut. .
Democratic leaders defended
the President's $08.8 billion spend
ing plan, with its $11.9 billion def
icit, as essential to national se
curity and. economic progress.
But GOP members on both
sides of the Capitol denounced it
as irresponsible, misleading, rad
ical, and calculated to take the
nation closer to fiscal disaster.
From their concentrated attack
it was apparent that the Repub
lican members thought they knew
a good thing when they saw it,
and they were, not about to let
Ihe chance pass.
Some influential Democrats
joined the Republicans in de
nouncing the plan. They said
I here was little chance for a lax
cut unless the budget is trimmed
drastically. Several Democratic
leaders called tlie budget progres
sive and sound, but they were in
the minority.
Chairman Clarence Cannon, D-
Mo., of the House Appropriations
Committee said the budget was
unbalanced because "we are
lending money we do not have
to on things we could get along
without." He scheduled a com
mittee meeting Monday to start
studying the budget.
House Republican leader Char
les A. Halleck, Ind., said the budg
et "makes a mockery of the ad
ministration's brave talk of letting
the taxpayer keep more of his
own money through tax reduction
What the taxpayer thinks he will
save will be taken away Irom him
cilher by so-called 'tax reform'
or by an increase in the cost of
living."

New bills and organizational

the bulk of activity as the first
week of the 52nd legislative
assembly drew to a close. Both
houses adjourned this morning
until Monday.
Layman Affirmed -The
Senate affirmed the ap
pointment of George Layman of

Legislators
Laud Lobby
SALEM (UPI) Registration of

today by both the president of the
Senate and speaker of the House.
Sen. Ben Musa, D-The Dalles,

We have been fortunate with
our lobbyists," Musa said. "We
have a high class third House. I
haven't observed any dirty lobby
policies.
A legislator should be able to
stand on his own two legs or he
shouldn't have run for office. I
can't tee what purpose is to bo
served by registering lobbyists."
Barton commented he'd vote
against registration. "We're a
close knit family up here. I have
seen no abuses.
It's the amateur lobbyists that
bother me. They aren't as well
prepared, and their answers to
questions are not as forthright."
Both Musa and Barton an
nounced they had adopted the
practice of sending fiscal bills to
substantive committees for "poli
cy" decisions before turning them
over to the Ways and Means Com
mittee. Both said they felt the pol
