In The-
Day's km
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington yesterday:
President Kennedy to d a y
signed into law Die second larg
est peace time defense spend
ing bill in U.S. history. The
measure appropriates $47.2 bil
lion (47 billion, 200 million dol
lars! to keep America's milita
ry muscles flexed.
The dispatch added:
The sum is so huge that it
would take one person almost
90 years to spend it at the rate
of $1,000 a minute.
What to do about it?
Thcre"s only one thing to do:
kShrug our shoulders and say
vMh the French: "C'est la
guerre." (It's the war.)
Wars cold or hot cost mon
ey. IMMENSE AMOUNTS of
money.
But it would cost MUCH
MOKE not to be ready for war
if war should come. That would
mean the loss of everything we
value most.
So let's not complain too much
about the military part of the
federal budget.
Speaking of budgets
The Oregon legislature's TWO
YEAR general fund budget that
was turned down at Tuesday's
election was $404 million or
$202 million per year.
Here's an interesting compari
son: Oregon's share of the 1964
ONE YEAR federal budget is
estimated by Tax Foundation
Inc. to be $899 million or a lit
tle more than TWICE the Ore
gon TWO YEAR budget that we
turned down so decisively at the
election on Tuesday of this
week.
Bul-
In comparing these two budg
ets, let's keep the facts straight.
The federal budget includes
DEFENSE. Oregon people are
as much interested in national
defense as the people of any
other state.
The defense item of the fed
eral budget for the federal fis
cal year of 1964 is S47.2 B I L
LION, or 47.8 per cent of the
1964 federal budget.
SO-
Of Oregon's $899 million share
of the federal budget. 47.8 per
cent, or $429.7 million, will go
for national defense.
Oregon's share of the 1904 fed
eral budget, for purposes other
than defense, will be $469.3 mil
lion. That is for ONE year. The
Oregon legislative budget of $404
million (which we turned down
decisively at Tuesday's election
was for two years or only $202
million for one year.
Which is to say:
Oregon's share of that part of
the federal budget not concerned
with national defense will be
$469.3 million for one year, or
two and one-third times the Ore
gon general fund budget that
we turned down so flatly.
Interesting questions:
Who is the BIG spender:
Who lakes the bulk of the tax
money that comes out of your
pocket?
These figures make it rather
plain.
It's UNCLE w ho is the spend
thrift. City Accepts

Tlie cuts were selective.

day that it is sending top diplo

United Nations in a move that
appeared to end hopes of a
quick settlement of the Algerian-Moroccan
border dispute.
A government spokesman
said Yazid would fly to Paris
this evening and then on to
New York Saturday morning.
He gave no hint of whether
Yazid planned to lay the bor
der dispute before the world
body.
(In Casablanca today Moroc

Balajfrcj said Morocco would
defend its claims to the dis

any international body).

spokesman for Algeria at the
United Nations before the na

Algerian President Ahmed Ben

Sen. Harry Boivin today advo
cated a three-way program de:
signed to relieve Oregon's eco
nomic strait-jacket during the
next biennium.
Senator Boivin, a member of
tlie State Emergency Board, is
in Salem today attending regu
lar sessions of tlie board.
Boivin's plan calls for :
1. Cut state expenses in all de
partments. 2. Refer a California type
sales tax to the people at the
primary election next May. In
come from the sales tax bill
would go to cut property and in
come taxes and to the state gen
eral fund. (The California sales
tax law exempts "essential"
items such as food and drugs
and other items).
3. Cut legislative salaries from
$230 to $130 per month. Also,
abolish all legislative interim
committees authorized by the
1963 legislative session that get
their expense money from the
state general fund.
As president of the Senate in
the 1961 session, Boivin, late in
1962, appointed a special lay
committee to study legislative
salaries and bring a recommen
dation to the Senate. The com
mittee recommended a salary of
$150 per month and per diem
of $13 per day, and this is the
program Boivin advocated dur
ing the 1963 session. The legis
lature, however, passed a bill
setting salaries at $230 per
month and per diem of $20 per

The Rogue River Coordination
Board had the distinction of
having the smallest dollar

out of a $730 budget, so it was
a 9 per cent slash.

expected, the cuts in construc

Ailing Macmilian Quits,
Party Wrangling Ends
LONDON (UPI i Prime Min
ister Harold Macmilian re
signed today and Queen Eliza
beth immediately named For
eign Secretary Lord Home to
replace him and try to form a
new government.
Home's selection appeared to
be tlie result of a compromise
because bitterly fighting Con
servative party leaders appar
ently were unable to choose be
tween Deputy Prime Minister
R. A. (Rab Butler and Science
Minister Iird Hailsham.
Tlie quick series of events to
day ended eight days of bat
tling within the party ranks. But
it remained to be seen how
deep the disaffection remained
against Home as he sought to
form a government.
First Macmilian sent his pri
vate secretary to Buckingham
Palace witli his resignation.
Then the Queen paid the ailing
Macmilian a farewell visit at
King Edward VII Hospital
where he is recuperating from
a prostate gland operation.
Queen Summons Home
Next, the Queen summoned
Lord Home to the palace.
Shortly after he left, the palace
issued a brief announcement
saying:
"The Queen lias received the
Earl of Home in audience and
invited him to form an admin
istration." An hour and a half after leav
ing the Queen, Lord Home
reached the official prime min
isterial residence at No. 10
Downing Street following a lei
surely lunch at his home.
"As you know," he told wait
ing newsmen and a crowd out
side, "Her Majesty has asked

colleagues and consulting with
them.
"It Is a great honor to be
asked to do tins and I think I
had better get on with tlie work
of forming a government. I
shall be busy the rest of the
day."
Most Conservative leaders
withheld immediate comment
on Lord Home's selection. But a
few were critical, One, Sir Ger
ald Naarro, a strong supporter
of Lord Hailsham, was bitter.
However. Conservative M. P.
Nigel Birch said Home "is ab
solutely the best man for the
job."
Labor Leader Caustic
George Brown, deputy leader
of the Labor party, was eais
tic. "My first reflection is for our
poor country," he said. "What
have we tlone that such a pen
ance should be demanded ot
us?"
Political experts noted that
elimination from the Queen's
statement of the words "and
has accepted" could be signifi
cant. This could be taken to indi
cate, it was said, that Lord
Home had agreed only to try
to form a government without
guaranteeing that he could.
Therefore, he could not official
ly "accept" designations as
prime minister until he had can
vassed the feelings of tlie men
he would need to run a govern
ment with him at its head.
Home wasted no time in mak
ing those soundings, for shortly
after ho reached No. 10 uown-
: ing street, a flow of political
leaders and present cabinet
members began calling on him,
Butler Pays Call .
One of the first to arrive was
Butler, who has been within
reach of the prime minister's
job three times in recent years
and missed it each time.
Butler, who arrived smiling,
left without expression or com
ment after three-quarters of an
hour. There were reports he w as
interested in the post of for
eign secretary in tlie new gov
ernment. He was followed by Chancel
lor of the Excliequer Reginald
Maudling, another who had been
reported a candidate for tlie top
job, and tlien by Lord Hail
sham. In choosing Home as the next
prime minister, the Queen ob
viously followed Macmlllan's
advice from the sickbed where
lie is recovering from a pros
trate gland operation.
The next step for Home is to
run in a special by-election in
a "safe" district for a seat in
the House of Commons, then re
nounce his ancient title.
