 He said he expects a surplus of a half billion dollars or so, com pared with the $40O million defi- cit now in sight for this year.
 One surprise in the Presidents proposals for government spend ing and revenue collecting: he called for a scent postage rate on all out-of-town first class let ters. Congress so far has rejected even his previous call for raising stamp prices from 3 to cents for both local and out-of-town letters.

 But he also said the intermedi- ate and intercontinenta1 range ballistic missiles -those designed to strike targets 1,5O0 and $500 miles away-constitute critical area.
 It is because time is so impor- tant, McElroy said that Defense decided to go ahead with produc- ton of two IRBMs-the Army's Jupiter and the Air Force Thor altho neither has been complete ly tested"
 Ideally. McElroy said, it would have been better to wait until one was perfected.

Budget Gives Alaska $24,06,OO0;
 Controversy Seen Over APW Cut

WASHINGTON R-Earmarked specifically for Alaska in Presi- dent Eisenhower's budget mes sage today was $24,696,234. The amount was down only slightly from the $24,714,55O asked for comparable projects in the cur rent fiscal year.
 It does not reflect money for Alaska contemplated under lump sum programs such as defense.
 The detailed breakdown barred one probable source of contro- versy. This is the Alaska Public Works program, for which the President asked $4 million as compared with his request of $6 million for the current year.

WASHINGTON, R-President EiSenhower's renewed endorse ment of statehood for Alaska and Hawaii drew lukewarm reaction today from Delegate Bartlett and the teri.itory's unofficial congress sional delegation.
 The presidential request for action constituted the final rec ommendation of the annual budg- ct message to Congress:
 T also recommend that inc Congress complete action on appropriate legislation admit ting Hawaii and Alaska into the Union as states"
 While Rep" Ralph Rivers Of Fairbanks spoke of the endorse ment as ''very good and very spe- cific" and said he was pleased the President was reconfirming his earlier support, other Alaskans on Capitol Hill reacted different ly.
 My feelings are similar to those of a youngster expecting big birthday cake and receiving a part of stale cookie,' said Del egate Bartlett.

 He thus rejected Bulganin's call last week for a meeting in three months.
 Eisenhower pledged the US would never engage in aggression and pointedly expressed the hope that ''the Soviet Union will feel similar aversion to any kind of aggression.
 Bulganin's reaction to the Pres ident's terms could be decisiveIy negative, but diplomats here be- lieve a very active period of East West diplomacy may be opening up. They hold this view even tho basic issues between Russia and the West continue deadlocked and much now being said on both sides gives the appearance of a gigantic propaganda battle.
