HOPES RUN HIGH: P.ans set for POW release; N.Viets to free10 soon Nixon By AP and UPI President Nixon told congres- sional leaders and a POW-family group yesterday that his fiscal 1974 budget will total $268.7 bil- lion and carry a deficit of about $12 billion. Although the budget won't go to Congress until Monday, the White M.ore flu I foutbreaks Slit U.S. ATLANTA UP) -- The death toll' from London flu and other respira- tory illnesses rose sharply for a third straight week as outbreaks of the virus were reported by four more states, the Center for Dis- ease Control reported yesterday. Added to the list of states re- 1ot° porting flu outbreaks were Missis- sippi, Minnesota, Idaho and Alas- into ka. Twenty - three other states, es in all parts of the country, had al- s ready reported outbreaks. The center said the Pacific states of Oregon, Washington and California remain hardest hit by flu while the situation has eased in the Mountain states, middle At- lantic and south-central regions. A spokesperson said a survey of 122major cities showed deaths for the week ending Jan. 20 to be 908 - 328 more fatalities than would be expected during a non- epidemic period. But thus far, said the center, n the the flu siege appears less severe than the Hong Kong flue outbreak fo last year. The center said that for ifffo the first three weeks of 1972, the on B. death toll from flu and other res- le last spiratory illnesses was running 757 from above the epidemic level. The fig- notice ure for the first three weeks of cars this year was 669. y per- Major outbreaks have been re- ported in Boston, Chicago, New to the York, Pittsburgh, SanuFrancisco their and the District of Columbia.

House confirmed plans to dis- mantle the Office of Economic Op- portunity and a number of other agencies. Nixon let the budget total "slip" as he talked to directors of the National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia. "I'm in the midst of one of our more difficult meetings - the be- ginning of a new battle, the battle of the budget," Nixon told the group. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.) emerged from a budget briefing at the White House and said the budget total would be $268.7 billion with a de- ficit of $12 billion. This would be an increase of approximately $19 billion in spend- ing over the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. The $12 bil-; lion deficit is a sharp reduction from the current financial year's $25 billion projected deficit. The White House announced that Nixon will make a nationwide ra- dio address Sunday at 6 p.m. to discuss the new budget "and its impact on the nation's economy and economic stability.'' The flurry of official leaks overi the budget, plus Nixon's Sunday remarks, heightened anticipation that the main battle between the White House and Congress this year will be over federal spend- ing. A number of federal agencies are due for drastic cutbacks, or even elimination, in Nixon's ef- fort to bring the massive federal budget under rein. The only way to avoid a tax in- crease and a big resurgence of in- flation is to bring the budget un- der control by slashing certain programs Nixon's economic ad- vers have said. vnsfil told newsmen that Congress should take the initiative this year and stay within a budget ceiling drawn by the White House. Mansfield's statement was the first official word that the admin- istrationapparently plans to re- new its request for a legal ceiling on spending, a battle it lost last year. Mansfield added he. was "sorry to note" the Pentagon is due to get about $79 billion, an in- crease from the current fiscal year. He said that spending for wel- fare, medical research and aid to t education will be higher on a per- centage basis than defense. Of the total figure some $202 bil- lion or 74 per cent of spending is uncontrollable, leaving about $66 billion in spending that is con- trollable by Congress and Nixon, he said. Others who conferred on the budget with President Nixon in- cluded House speaker Carl Albert, (D-Okla.), minority leader Gerald Ford, (R-Mich.), Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott, (R-Pa.), and Vice President Spiro Agnew. Both Mansfield and Albert said Congress would set its own bud- getary priorities which would not necessarily coincide with those of the administration. Mansfield and Albert said no mention was made at the White House meeting of the specifics of the domestic budget Nixon will send to Congress on Monday. Although Nixon gave only broad details during his meeting, other administration officials said the new budget would cut deeply into "Great Society" programs the President considers no longer nec- essary.
