LBJ To Budget For Deficit Come Early January

By United Press International Conservatives of all parties will find an issue upon which they can agree when President Johnson in early January submits to Congress his 1966 fiscal

year budget.

LBJ will budget for a deficit, as usual. Deficits have become a way of political life, especially for Democratic politicians.

For example:

The four-year grand total of deficit of the Kennedy-Johnson administration. 1961-64 inclusive, is nn imposing $24.8 billion. President Johnson will add $5.7 billion to the deficit accumulation at the end of the current. 1965, fiscal year. That will lift tile five year deficit grand total to $30.5 billion. That is big time spending of money, especially when you don't have it. The budget has not been in surplus or balance with income equal to outgo since fis-

cal 1960 which ended at midnight June 30 of that year. There was a surplus of $1.2 billion that year, an Eisenhower surplus. The previous year, however, Ike had a nightmare deficit of nearly $12.5 billion. It is not the taxpayers who are falling in the effort—if there is any real effort—to balance the U. S. budget. Ten years ago. 1955, the taxpayers came up with $60.2 billion for federal expenses and government cost $64.3 billion. Treasury income in the current fiscal year is expected to reach $91.5 billion. $31 billion more than 10 years ago. But it will not be enough. The Johnson administration will spend nearly $6 billion more than that, making good on a Parkinson law: T li a t expenditures in government must rise to overtake rev(Continued on Page 2)

Rocket's Course May Be Changed PASADENA, Calif. UPI — Scientists were expected to decide today whether to make a delicate mid-course maneuver Thursday to put Mariner-4 ontarget for Mars. Project manager Jack James began consultations with other scientists Thursday at California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to set a definite time and date for the crucial maneuver. Mariner-4 is due to fly past Mars July 14 to take the first close-up television photographs of the mysterious red planet on which scientists have speculated some life form might exist. If the 575-pound windmillshaped spacecraft continued its present course without any adjustment. it would miss Mars by 151.000 miles. To take the pictures which may give scientists more vtial details of Mars and its intriguing canals, Mariner-4 should come within about 12.000 miles of the Martian surface. Should the mid-course maneuver prove completely successful. Mariner-4 would zoom past Mars at a distance of only 8.000 miles at the end of its 325-mil-hon mile. 7L.-month-long journey through space. James said the mid-course maneuver — to be ordered by radio signal from the JPL control center - depends on precise calculations of the spacecraft's progress. Kremlin Plans New Shakeups MOSCOW UPI — The leaders of the Kremlin are planning a new series of shakeups in their campaign to undo former Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev’s “hare-brained” mistakes. East European sources said today. They said the leaders are seriously considering basic changes in the decentralization of Soviet industry promulgated by Khrushchev in 1957. Other changes could involve the consolidation of some government ministries and possibly a reshuffling of some No. 1

posts.

The sources said that if any changes are decided upon, they will be made at the next session of the Supreme Soviet

Dec. 9.

In another development, the new leaders of the Soviet Union were conferring with visiting Czechoslovakian President Antonin Novotny, who was one of Khrushchev's closest East European allies in the past. The sources said Soviet Communist party chief Leonid I. Brezhnev and Premier Alexi N Kosygin were discussing Sino-Soviet strategy and the question of postponing a meeting of 26 Communist parties scheduled for Dec. 15. It has been reported that Khrushchev called the meeting as a prelude to a showdown with the Chinese Communists over his avowed policy of "peaceful coexistence” with the West. Khrushchevs plan ran into opposition from Red China and also — according to some reports — from some of Russia’s European allies.
