PentdgOn Asks
Boost in Funds
For Missiles
BY the Associated Press

The Pentagon put Congress
on notice today that it is going
to ask funds for long-range
weapons at a fast-increasine
rate.
Major strides are being made
in the missiles area" said Asst
Secretary of Defense w. j. Nc
Neil, adding: This is an area
of rapidly increasing expendi-
lures"
Mr.. Mcneil gave no details on
types of new weapons in his
testimony before a Senate Ap.
preparations su omm lite G
headed by Senator Chavez
Democrat of New Mexico.
The Pentagon official ap-
Ipeared in support of the Defense
Departments request for au-
thority to obligate $1.776 billion
for missiles in the next fiscal
year.
This compares with 1888 mil
lion in the fiscal year ending
June 30.
Earlier today Senator Chavez
said the Army and Air Force will
stage a dramatic contest against
planes designed to show which
has the superior guided missiles
But he said the showdown test
between the Army's Nike and
the Air Forces Talos probably
won't be possible before Con-
gress vote on the defense money
bill.
Senator Chavez had demanded
such a test after Air Force and

Ivate payments are to equal IS

weeks of unemployment. and go
Iper cent for the next % weeks.
GIN. Ford and Chrysler have
been contributing to the trust
funds at the rate of 5 cents an
hour worked by each employee
for the past year. At their max
imum level, the funds will ag-
gregate about $3.50 million.
Helps Establish Claims
Under the SUB plans, a worker
must qualify for State benefits
to be eligible for the supplement
tary payments. Mr.. Goodwin
said that Identification cards and
written notices of State eligible
ity furnished employees by State
Offices should help establish
claims to private benefits.
He ruled that identifying the
particular payment week on an
unemployment compensation
benefit check is a good practice
even in States not presently do
ing so. 1T allows the claimant
to reconcile benefits payments
with claims fled" he said. Such
data are needed. also, to help
establish entitlement to SUB
payments.
Mr. Goodwin also said States
could issue "as a good business
practice" a cash memo or re-
ceipt where jobless payments
are paid in cash. Workers could
use them in applying for SUB
payments.
"One-Stop" Plan Ruled Out
However. Mr.. Goodwin ruled
out pending further study" a
plan advocated by American
Motors Co. and Norman Mat
thews. JAW vice president, for
a "one-stop" service. in which
the State agencies would do all
the processing Of both unem-
ployment compensation and SUB
payments. He said even if pri-
vate firms paid a fee for the
service it might lead to too
many headaches for the State
agencies and slow up jobless
claims processing.
Conditions imposed on the
SUB plans going into effect ap-
parently have been satisfied.
One of them was that States
in which two-thirds of each of
the big motor company's en-
ployes reside would approve sup
plementing Government pay
ments with SUB.
At least IA States have granted
such approval. They are Con-

gan. New York, New Jersey,

Local Villages Spend
S17O,579.05 In 1855

The six villages in Noble
county, including Caldwell, had
receipts totaling $170,579.05 and
spent $l63, ,049.78 of this amount
according to a report tabulated
today by Auditor of State James
A. Rhodes.
The figures were compiled
from annual financial reports
sent to Rhodes office by village
clerks. They are for village gov
ernment operations only and do
not include revenue or expendi-
tures of village schools during
the past year.
Auditor Rhodes said that the
total bonded debt of the IT'S vii
lagos in the state was $68,875, 5,57G
on Dec. 81, 1855 as compared
with $55, 5,088,345 at the end OF
the previous year.
Village debt was $1.2 million
more than the total revenue OF
the villages during 1855.
The villages created new bond
ed debt in 1855 more than three
times as fast as they paid off old
bonds.
In 20 Of the 88 counties, the
expenditures of village in these
counties exceeded the revenue
but this was not true in Noble
county.
