Kennedy, in the first fed- eral budget of his own making, called today for record peacetime spending of $92.5 billion and a wobbly surplus of $463 million - a margin possible only if revenues rocket and the price of mailing a letter is increased. The 1,500-page spending blueprint, which covers the 1963 fiscal year starting July 1, foresees a spending rise of nearly $3.5 billion over the current level, More than 75 per cent of the increase would involve military and space programs. Kennedy told Congress he expects outlays JOHN F. IENNEDY . . presents budget Set Program In Fisheries Included in the federal budget that President John F. Kennedy submitted to Congress today is a request for $1.5 million to build and equip a new United States Bureau of Commercial Fisheries laboratories in Ann Arbor. Leo E. Von Wald, administration officer for the bureau's regional headquarters here, said the agen- cy is negotiating with the Uni- versitynfor land on the North Campus as the site for the new building. The $140,000 regional headquar- ters building, dedicated just last week, is located in the Huron View Research Park on the city's north side. The new laboratory would re- place about 6,000 square feet of space now leased at 1220 E. Wash- ington St., plus an additiona small amount of space in the Uni- versity's Museums Annex. Also included the President's budget is a request for a $167,000 increase in funds for laboratory work, which would permit adding 10 to 15 persons to the present staff of about 30. May Approve *to total slightly more than $92.5 billion-an amount exceeded only twice before, during World War II. Revenues were estimated at $93 billion, an unprecedented level $11 billion higher than this year's in- come. Recommendations Highlighting the 7,400 - word budget message which Kennedy sent to Capitol Hill were these recommendations: 1) A defense program of $52.7 billion, up nearly $1.5 billion. 2) Allocation of $2.4 billion for space research, an increase of $1.3 billion. 3) A foreign aid program boosted by $200 million to $3.9 billion.' 4) Repeal of the 10 per cent tax on rail, bus and boat fares, with later adjustments in aviation taxes. 5) Enactment of a new farm bill designed to cut farm program spending from $6.3 billion to $5.8 billion~. 6) Increase the "temporary" $298 billion national debt limit to a new high of $308 billion. 7) Increase postal rates by about $600 million a year. Crisis To Cool The new budget assumes that the Berlin crisis will cool off enough to permit the return home by June 30 of military Reservists mobilized last fall. Any heighten- ing of cold-war tensions could prompt new hikes in defense spending, and wipe out the indi- cated surplus. Kennedy also based his projec- tions on an assumption that the economy will continue to expand briskly into 1963, though perhaps at a lesser rate as time passes. The President said major economic ree- ords will be broken month after month while the unemployment rate will drop from 6.1 per cent sto 4 per cent by mid-1963. The fate of the postal rate re- quest, which has been shelved three years running, also will have a major impact on the budget. Without higher rates (including a 5-cent letter charge) to add to the anticipated big increase in tax collections, Kennedy's envi- sioned surplus would evaporate- barring major economy moves in other areas. D Many congressional Republicans - and some Democrats were ready to demand greater economy and a bigger surplus in, order to whittle down the record national debt, now nudging the $298 billion ceiling. Anticipating this, Kennedy said a $463 million surplus would reflect "the best national policy." He said deficit spending might promote inflation while- a larger surplus o "would risk choking off economic - recovery and contributing to a premature downturn."

Multiplicity of Boards But the appointment of the boards seems to be preferred, on the whole, Bonisteel says, because it avoids a multiplicity of names on the ballot and can ensure a greater geographical distribution of the members, preventing "provincialism." Bonisteel also makes a third prediction: community colleges. wil be put under the State Board of Education. Not Final But these solutions are by no gesting compromises to the se- means final. Three plans, sug- lection of board members and coordination, are in dispute within the subcommittee. The much reviled "super- board" plan has been modified into a voluntary commission, to be appointed by the governor, which would unify future plan- ning and prepare budgets for presentation to the state Legis- lature. "This commission's jur- isdiction would be carefully de- fined and restricted to those two duties. It would have no control over administration or present poli- cies of existing state universi- ties," Bonisteel reports. This plan will leave intact the ma- jority of present boards. and members will most likely be ap- pointed. Romney Plan George Romney (R-Bloom- field Hills), potential guber- natorial candidate and chair- man of the elementary and sec- ondary sub-committee is push- ing a plan that would give the governor the right to appoint all educational governing bodies. This would take the schools out of the direct hands of the people and make educational policy just another issue in a gubernatorial campaign. In ad- dition to this, Romney wants a state appointed coordinating board. He has not delineated the powers of this board. According to education com- mittee chairman, Alvin Bentley (R-Owosso), Romney has some tentative support for his plan. Opposed Romney's plan is opposed by higher education sub-committee members Bonisteel and MSU President John Hannah, both outspoken advocates of a third plan for continued total au- tonomy for higher education. As there are no set party lines on education dilemmas, the out- come of an education proposal is a politician's guess. The battle lines have been drawn around these three pro- posals and their variations. Education Re ests $529,000 Hike in IST Budget Governor Raps Legislature for Cut In Last Year's Appropriation Plea By MICHAEL HARRAH Special To The Daily LANSING-Gov. John B. Swainson yesterday told the Legislature that "it is up to you" to find a $10.4 million in- crease in the nigher education budget. Quoting Edward Everett Hale, the governor said the legis- lators must "look up and not down; look forward and not back; look out and not in-and lend a hand."

Walz of the education school said yesterday. The Institute, which begins next September, will enroll 30 students at the graduate level who are preparing for guidance and ^counseling work in the secondary of $100,000 for the establish- ment of an Institute for Water Research at Michigan State University,. expenditure of $100,000 to reactivate the Traffic Safety Center at MSU, and appropriation Of approxi- mately $125,000 for special re- search at the Michigan College of Mining and Technology at Houghton. He also recommended a $1.5 million increase in operating funds for community colleges, plus $281,- 000 for capital outlay, amendment of the school code to require a teachers' minimum salaries, start- ing at $4,800, increase in teach- ers' retirement allowances to $1,- 800 a year, and $2.2 million for distressed school districts. In his message, which called for some $70 million more for all state education needs, the governor told the lawmakers "an. inventory of Michigan's educational needs of the 1960's makes it obvious there are vast areas in our total educa- tion scene that can merit nothing but shame. Effect Action "It is your business, now, to ef- fect action that will push open-- not pull closed-the doors of op- portunity for Michigan's children to receive the finest education to be obtained in this country. "To do otherwise is to repudi- ate the capabilities and capacities of Michigan, its people and rich- ness of resources. "Procrastination is the thief of time . . and Michigan has al- ready lost infinitely more time than it can afford to lose, No Losses "It is up to you to make sure that further losses do not com- pound these- delays." Swainson took the Legislature to task for trimming his request of almost $110,000 for higher edu- cation last year. The lawmakers cut off $417,000, and from the bal- ance the University received $35.4 million. "I intend once more to present suitable recommendations toward meeting these needs. Accomplish- ment of Michigan's educational goals requires your acceptance of this responsibility," the governor concluded. FPA Views' Rush, AKL By H. NEIL BERKSON In a two hour session last night the Fraternity Presidents Assembly voted to give Alpha Kappa Lambda permanent status on campus .and decided to hold off- action on its controversial new rush plan until February. Richard Young, '63BAd., of the Interfraternity Council Executive Committee introduced the pro- posed rush changes on to the floor of FIA. IFC President Robert Peterson, '62, then departed from normal procedures to speak for the plan. He recalled the history of the Rush Study Committee, which drew up the plan and at- tempted to explain the rationale behind each of the proposed changes. Urges Discussion Peterson asked that FPA wait until its next meeting before vot- ing on the plan. "Discuss this among yourselves and with your chapters. Give the plan at least as much consideration as the Study Commitee gave it," he said. The individual presidents show- ed a wide range of opinion on the plan. Very few were for it without reservation. Presidents of small houses were worried about the ef- fects on informal rush of the new plan. Small Houses Peterson said later that "much of the concern from small houses surprised me since these are the houses the plan is supposed to help." Nevertheless, he was pleas- ed with the overall attitude of FPA and felt that after minor problems were corrected the plan would have a good chance for passage in February. Alpha Kappa Lambda has been under colony status for five years. It has asked IFC for permanent recognition several times in this period but has failed to fulfill all the requirements for recognition until now. Student Government Council must now approve the ac- tion. Facilities Bill For Colleges WASHINGTON (M)-A bill to provide $1.5 billion to build col- lege academic facilities "will be cleared for House action by th Rules Committee, Rep. Adam C. PowellCD-NY)said yesterday. The bill is an abbreviated ver- sion of one of the three big edu- cation bills blocked by the com- mittee last year in a controversy over including parochial schools in a Federal Aid Program. Drop- ped from the bill was a provision for 40,000 Federal scholarships. Powell said Democrats on the House education and labor com- mittee, of which he is chairman voted yesterday to proceed with the construction bill and leave the scholarships for further consid eration. The bill would provide $300 million a year for five years $180 million in grants and $120 million in loans.

Students Seek Counselors Aid I Handler Notes Consequences Of City Living By KATHRYN VOGT Social needs rising out of ur- ban living and met with in city planning were discussed by A. Benjamin Handler, professor of planning of the Architecture and Design school, in an address to the new members of Phi Kappa Phi, honorary"fraternity, last night. "Cities are the major carriers of civilization. Most of the great de- velopments have come from cities and their dwellers," said Prof. Handler. "Education and demo- cratic processes grew up in urban areas. Modern industrialization, the arts, science, and thought have been closely connected with ci- ties." He cited the high degree of spe- cialization in contemporary socie- ty as a major factor influencing today's city planning, which re- flects a need to provide for a great variety of people and tastes.. City inhabitants are demanding and getting better educational and cultural activities, he said; Prof. Handler emphasized the schools. The grant, which covers all instructional costs and student stipends,h. will be administered through the education school's de- partment of guidance and counsel- ing, Prof. Walz said. He explained that recent con- ferences on education had sighted a shortage in guidance and coun- seling services and the need to identify talented youth and then develop and prepare them for full utilization of their abilities. The University was one of 22 schools asked to join the program, and earlier this week final considera- tions were concluded in Washing- ton. The NDEA was originally creat- ed to meet the increased educa- tional needs of the country to face the challenge of the modern age. By ELLEN SILVERMAN Beginning Monday morning, University students join 3.6 million American college students in a grinding two weeks of finals. This semi-anual ritual produces many adverse effects on all students and many find refuge in the offices of counselors all over the University. Psychological counseling offices find that after freshmen five- week grades, midterms and before finals there is a slight increase in attendance, M. David Galinsky of the Bureau of Psychological Serv- ices reported yesterday. Slight Rise "I don't know if our department is indicative of the whole Uni- versity, but I see a slight rise in the number of students who come to visit at this time," he added. A counselor at the Mental Hygiene Clinic at Health Service said that he could not give substantial figures. "But the fact that I'm too busy to get this information should indicate what the situation is," he DELEGATE SPEAKS: Pollock Criticizes Convention Deadline By ROBERT SELWA Constitutional convention dele- gate Prof. James K. Pollock aimed strong criticism last night at the "artificially imposed deadline" on the convention resulting from an opinion of state attorney general Paul L. Adams. The attorney general "split legal hairs" in coming to his judgment, and as a result the convention faces a distressing deadline, Prof. Pollock told the city officials from five counties attending the meet- ing. "No one could work under more by the deadline resulting from the attorney general's opinion. If we are doing a good job, and I feel we are, we have the mandate to stay at work." Prof. Pollock, chairman of the committee on declaration of rights, suffrage and election, mentioned somssammans
