At his news conference yester day afternoon. President Kennedy announced that the budget deficit for the government i fiscal) year just closed was $2.6 billion less than his estimate in January. The lower figure, he said, is attribu table to spending cuts throughout the executive branch and higher tax revenues generated by the strong business recovery. He added: "The most urgent business be fore the nation continues to be a prompt and substantial tax re duction to reduce unemployment and bring the nation's industrial plant up to capacity production. Pardon, sir, but a lot of us out in the sticks, basing our opinion on our own experience, can't help believing that SPENDING LESS THAN IS TAKEN IN, so that each year there may be a sur plus to be applied to the reduc tion of our national debt, which is reaching staggering propor tions, is the most urgent business confronting our nation. We are so unsophisticated as to believe that when a nation goes on spending more each year than it lakes in and adding the differ ence to what is already on the cuff it is courting bankruptcy. We are glad to learn, sir, that last year we went only $6.2 bil lion into the red. instead of the $8.8 billion you had anticipated. But, out here in the sticks, it seems to us that going $6.2 billion into the hole when we already owe more than 300 BILLION dol lars is RECKLESS FINANCE. More from Washington: A crowd of 2,560 foreign ex change students ran w ild on the White House lawn this morning in an over-enthusiastic attempt to get close to President Kennedy. One girl grabbed the handkerchief out of the President's breast pock et and a boy snatched his tie clasp in the melee. "That's two from our bus that got something" the girl who had snatched the President's hand kerchief shouted ecstatically as others in the party (which is making a tour of the country by bus I surged forward toward the President who headed to ward the safety of his office from the spot on the White House lawn where he had greeted the party. These foreign students, from 56 countries, have been in the United States for the past year on ex change scholarships under the auspices of the American Field Service. They lived with Ameri can families in 2,500 communities around the nation. The bus tour is a wind-up of their year. Most of them carried cameras and wanted close-up shots to show when they get back home. They also w anted handshakes and autographs. How did the President take it? The answer is VERY WELL INDEED. When he reached the sanctuary of his office, a little wilted, -but still able to smile, he grinned a bit ruefully and remarked to the White House correspondents: "Well, they're not the quietest (Continued on Page 4-A) $2 Million State Treasury SALEM UPI - The State of Oregon ended the l!)fil-63 bien nium with a surplus of nearly $2 million, State Finance Director Freeman Holmer announced to day. the figure is well over $1 mil-; Board Approves WCA Extension WASHINGTON (UPP-A Civil Aeronautics Board examiner rec ommended Wednesday that West Coast Airlines be gien permanent authority to serve Tacoma, Wash.

Members of the International Woodworkers of America UWAi set up picket lines before 8 a.m. Harvey Nelson, Western region al president of the IWA. predicted all (j-p operations in Oregon Washington and California will be closed down by the end of the week. Some Plants Hit Earlier The IWA and the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union iLSW'i closed plants at Toledo, Coos Bav Springfield and Coquille, Ore., and iamoa, Calif., earlier this week Stiil operating today were some woods crews at Toledo and in the Coos Bay area, a pine mill at Pilot Rock, Ore., and wood crews and mills at Feather Falls and Woodleaf, Calif. The strike against Georgia-Pa- cific is part of an industry-wide dispute over a new contract in the Douglas Fir belt. Nearly 25,000 workers now are idle. Simpson Strike Ends An unauthorized strike bv 550 members of the LSW at a Simp son Timber Co. door and plywood plant at McLeary, Wash., Wednes day ended later in the dav after a meeting between workers and Earl Hartley, executive-secretary of the union. Hartley said the men returned to work at the start of the eve ning shift. Negotiations between Simpson and the two unions are scheduled to be resumed Friday in Portland They w ere recessed Tuesday amid statements that enough progress had been made to merit more sessions. Hatfield Urged To Intercede In Big Dispute COOS BAY (UPH The Coos Bay World newspaper today sent a telegram to Gov Mark Hatfield urging him to work toward a set tlement of the Northwest lumber dispute. In a telegram signed by Pub lisher Sheldon Sackctt, Hatfield was asked to take the lead in end ing what the wire called the great economic loss not only to the Coosl Bay area but to the entire North west. More than 1,000 men w ere idled in the Coos Bay area Wednesday when the International Woodwork ers of America and the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union struck Georgia - Pacific plants at Coos Bay and Coquille. Surplus lion more than expected when the 1063 legislature closed up shop early last month. Holmer also estimated that un der the new tax program passed by the 1963 legislature the stale would end the 1963-65 biennium with a $4.9 million surplus. Holmer said today that unex pected increases in corporation excise tax collections and state liquor revenues last month were responsible for the additional $1 million in the 1961-63 surplus. The state ended the biennium with $1,943,779. Holmer said corporation tax col- lections in June were $608,000 more than was anticipated and that the liquor commission raised $437,000 more than was expected Personal and corporation tax collections for the biennium amounted to $233,775,532. which was $22 million less than the 11 legislature had estimated in pre paring the 1961-63 budget. However, slate spending was cut from $365 million to $358 mil lion. In order to balance the last bi enmum s budget the state also transferred $3.5 million from the veterans loan sinking fund to the general fund. Liquor sales during the hien nium brought in $3 million more than was anticipated in 1961 while gift and inheritance taxes pro duced an added $4 8 million and interest earnings were $14 million over estimates.

About 30 policemen entered the offices and bodily carried nine persons down a freight elevator and into waiting paddy wagons. They were charged with unlawful assembly and criminal trespass.

In another racial hotspot, Cam bridge, Md., Negro leaders agreed early today to let the Gloom Surrounds Railway Dispute WASHINGTON (L'PH Little hope was expressed today for a oluntary llth-hour settlement ot tlie deadlocked rail work rules dispute despite a new appeal by President Kennedy. The special presidential fact finding board sent copies of a draft report on the dispute to union and management represen tatives today. Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz planned to present the final report to the President Friday. At his news conference Wednes day the President urged both sides to reach a settlement be tween themselves to avoid a crip pling railroad strike that would hit the "national economy and in terest." But Kennedy conceded he had no reports from Wirtz that would lead him to expect such a nego tiated settlement before Monday, when he tosses the whole affair to Congress. Despite reported private ef forts of members of the fact-find ing board to mediate the dispute. there appeared to be no move today by the unions or manage ment to get together. The railroad companies have said that legislation is "the only remaining means we can see of heading off a calamitous nation wide rail strike." Barring a last - minute agree ment, the President plans to sub mit legislative recommendations to Congress Monday on the basis of his board's report of the facts of the four-year-old controversy The board completed its draft paper late Wednesday.

The last attack of major pro portions came from Russia. In a 25.000-word statement published in Sunday's Pravda, it accused Peking of being a racist power intent on war and determined to split the Communist camp.

The President said the new clampdown was needed to help make further "inroads into the hard core of our continuing pay ments deficit."

Gen. Robert F. Kennedy told Congress today the administra tion's civil rights bill "can and will do more toward righting the wrongs of racial oppression than any other measure possible at; this time. Kennedy told the Senate Judici ary Committee, headed by hostile Sen. James O. Eastland, D-Miss., that "no issues are more urgent" than those the administration's civil rights program seeks to re solve. He said the program was no cure-all but that it would "bring to law what we have always known in our hearts lo be jus tice." The attorney general appeared before a standing room only audi ence in the big, theater-like audi torium of the new Senate Office Building. He backed up the pleas of his brother, the President, while his oilier brother. Sen. Ed ward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., lis tened as a member of the com mittee. Under questioning by Sen. Ks- tes Kcfauvcr, D-Tenn., the attor ney general agreed to work with Congress toward a more viable form of tlie controversial equal public accommodations section of the bill. He said no part of tlie rights package was more important. But lie admitted the difficulty in de fining just what establishments have "substantial" relation with interstate commerce. Kennedy also agreed, as he had in earlier testimony before the Senate Commerce Committee, to accept an amendment providing jury trials for persons cited for contempt in violations of tlie pub lic accommodations section.

He urged renewed emphasis on previous drives to increase ex ports, promote U.S. tourism, and reduce overseas dollar expendi tures by military and foreign aid programs. Kennedy said the long-range payments outlook was hopeful, but that action must be taken quickly to replenish "our stock pile of arrangements. . .during our return to equilibrium.

The President asked Congress to enact a graduate tax, ranging trom z.7o per cent to 15 per cent, with the rate tied to the length ot (lie loan. The tax would start at the min imum 2.75 per cent on a tliree- ycar loan, and rise to tlie full 15 per cent for loans maturing in 28'4 years or longer. It would be in cflect through 1905. Kennedy said the levy "would stem the flood of foreign security sales in our markets and still be fully consistent with both econom ic growth and free capital move ments." Tlie increase earlier this week in short-term interest rates from 3 per cent to 3'i per cent was intended to discourage the flight of U.S. capital to foreign banks offering higher rates. Tho President said these two strategics bolstered by additional savings in overseas government expenditures would add $2 billion to tlie "plus" side of the pay ments ledger during the next 18 months.

East German sources said Boltz was in Moscow to discuss the Berlin problem in connection with the three-power talks. The consultations between So viet and East German leaders during the nuclear conference led to speculation that another move might be in the works to try. to solve the Berlin problem.
