Big Profit Seen
In kerr-NcGee
acc Contract

Kerr-Mc0ee Industries. Inc,
should realize q net profit Of
about s35 million before taxes
In the expected seven-year
operating period Of q new con-
tract for processing and de-
livery Of uranium concentrate
to the Atomic Energy Commits
sion.
This was estimated by Dean
A. MCGEE. president of the
loil firm. In an address before
the Washington Society Of In
yestment Analysts at the Oc-
lcidental Restaurant today.
The new Acc contract Is
with Kermac Nuclear Fuels
Corp. In which Kerr-McGee
has an interest OF about Sc per
cent. Sales will run to around
$500 million with a maximum
in excess Of $3.50 million. Mr..
MCGEE said.
The Nations largest uranium
ore processing plant will be
built at Ambrosia Lake, N. Mex,
at q cost Of around SIS million
and another $ie million will
be invested in mines and other
facilities. Mr.. MCGEE said his
firm was the first oil company
to mine and process uranium
in 1852.
More than IS million tons
lof mineable uranium ore have
been outlined by exploratory
drilling on properties controlled
by Kermac and Ambrosia Lake
Uranium Co.. Of which rs per
cent OF the stock is owned by
Kermac holders. Mr.. MCGEE
added.
In its petroleum divisions, he
said Kerr-McGee now Is inte-
grating Triangle Refineries into
Its marketing structure provid-
ed by acquisition Of Deep Rock
Oil Co.. the Cato Oil g. Grease
Co.. johnson Oil and Refining
Co. and other properties.
Kerr-McGee has spent more
than $50 million in building
and acquiring properties in the
last three years.
Gross income Of the company
has risen from nearly S33 mil
lion in 1853 to more than sl09
million In 1857. he reported.

Mr.. Lasher. the new presi-

The headlines say that the
s73.0 billion budget which
President Eisenhower submit
ted TO Congress on Monday is
the biggest peacetime budget
in our Nations history.
But II isn't the biggest. not
by q long shot. The reports
you have been reading simply
do not give you some funda-
mental facts.
For measured In terms OF
what the billions will buy, this
new l958-59 budget is much.
much smaller than the STAB
billion budget Of i953--and the
1858 budget was the largest Of
the post World War II period.
Measured In terms Of our
national income. the new Eli
senhower budget also is much.
much smaller than the 1888
budget. And a sensible way
TO judge how much We can
afford" to spend on national
security and on Government
ilondefense programs is to see
how big a slice the spending
takes OF our national income.
You just cannot view the
dollars-and-cents budget fig-
ures in a theoretical vacuum.
The statistics are meaningless
by themselves.
Background Outlined
You must weigh the dollars
and-cents totals against the
real background Of prices and
incomes today and in previous
years.
Only when you do this will
the budget totals fall into per-
spective. And one significant
point that will emerge is:
This budget hasn't been
swelled by much greater SPEND
ing to buy much greater
amounts Of military and civilian
goods and services.
This budget has been swelled
