Congress
Claiming
WASHINGTON '(VPl) The
88th Congress wound up Hs first
session as usual claiming tn
have chopped the bejabbers out
of the Presidwit's budget. Any
way you look at it, the claim
is misleading if not downright
phony. - ;
About all the law makers can
say for a fact is that they have
trimmed the lete President Ken
nedy's year-old . requests . for
new money, and by a consid
erable sum. though even this
must be suallaucd with salt.
As for intimations this reduc
tion means a Cut in the govern
ment budget. President Johnson
already has blon that nut of j
the water.

cently that government spend
ing (or the current 12 months
and that is what is meant by
the budget will run just about
what Kennedy forecast. 5988
billion, or maybe a few dollars
more.
And he said furthermore that
Congress, in approving military
pay boosts, school aid, and
other new programs already
has "built in" spending in
creases for next year totalling
about S3 5 billion.
This is an old story, but one
not generally understood even
by congressmen. Some lawmak
ers who do understand it would
rather pretend that they don't.
It is nicer to be for economy,
to support "budget cuts," and
yet to vote for popular pro
grams that mean added federal
spending.
After Kennedy sent Congress
last January his plans to spend
a record $! 8 billion in the 12
month period that now is half
gone House ftepublicans set up

show how this figure could lie
sharply curtailed.
The task force shortly an
nounced that it knew where to
cut appropriations requests by
SIO billion to $15 billion and ac
tual spending during the new
fiscal year by $4 billion to S6
billion.
Democrats said the Republi
cans were just stealing their
thunder. Anyway, with both
part-pitching in on behalf of us
taxpayers, most appropriations
wound up being cut.
Task force Chairman Frank
T. Bow, R-Ohio, estimated to
day that such reductions dur
ing the year totaled about SB. 4
billion. Bow one who under
stands the difference between
appropriations and spending
and is honest about it con
ceded that the immediate
spending effect would be far
less than that, running maybe
to a fourth of the total.
Bow said most of the rest of
the cuts would show up to the
taxpayers' credit in subsequent
years. Maybe so. But the rec
ord shows this doesn't always
work out.

Burned-Out Liner Lakonia
Sinks In Mile-Deep Water
GIBRALTAR UP1 The
burned-out Greek cruise liner
Lakonia sank Sunday while un
der tow to Gibraltar taking
with it the secret of the Dec. 22
fire at sea that cost 155 lives.
Officials said there would be
no attempt to salvage the 20,-000-ton
liner, which had been re
fitted at a cost of $840,000 just
before the tragic Christmas
cruise from Southampton, Eng
land. The Lakonia lies more than
a mile deep in the Atlantic
about 275 miles west of Moroc
co. Three tugs were trying to
tow it into port when the ship,
described by lugmen as a
"burned - out. stinking hulk,"
rolled over and sank.
The sinking ended hopes for
investigations into the cause of
the blaze.
The controversy over the fire
and the rescue operation con
tinued to boil with the arrival
in Tilbury, England, of 265 sur
vivors 124 passengers and 141
crew members.
Almost all the passengers
were British.
"It was absolute chaos," said
Mrs. Jean Wendt of London, ac
cusing the crew of failing to
carry out its rescue duties.
But one of the Lakonia stew
ards. Georgios Kitamrtzian, 26.

into Oregon and Washington in

the Industrial Forestry Associ

The figure was only slightly
below the record set in 1959.
The announcement said the
forest industry continued as the
Northwest's No. 1 employer,
with its 143.000 jobs last year.
Forest industry employes earn
ed more than $810 million, up
nearly $46 million over 1961, and
equal to the all-time high of
1959.
Oregon's forest products yield
ed more than $1 billion for the
ninth year in the past 10.
Washington's forest products
yielded an all-time high of $948
million.

Another London woman, Mrs.
