THE MONKEYS VIEWPOINT
BE loyaI to the royaI fhat is in YOU"
uennysonl

A recent issue of a popular mag
azine offered a series of illustra-
tions depicting member of the
simian family that had been pro-
jected many miles into space and
then recovered alive and unharmed
in the capsule in which the jour-
ney had been made. II you have
am active imagination you probab-
ly wondered just what the monkey
saw on that fantastic trip away
from mother earth. | did, but more
than that this apes adventure and
its relationship to a possible flu
ture world war recalled to my
mind tale of anonymous author
ship that has such intriguing hu-
NOR that l. wish to share it with
you today. The writer of this tale
imagines the whole world em-
broiled in third world war so
destructive that only two surviv-
ed Both were fiiers, ard being
enemies, took to the air each de-
termined to effect the death of the
other. AS they met in mortal COM
bat above the jungles of Africa,
b2ACAt PAoAC0 0OA1A0E4 anu UOLns
amid the wreckage of their ships,
fell dead at the foot of a giant
palm tree. Pm this tree two mon
keys witnessed what had happen
ed, realized its import, and looking
down a bit wistfully at the ex-
tinction of the human race, the
larger monkey said to the other,
his mate, Well, Ma-and Darwin
would appreciate this--I guess
we've got to begin all over again /"
/ am well aware that this inn
agined comment of an African ape
might open the door for a discus
sion of the Darwinian theory of
evolution. Disbelieyirrg il, I close
the door to such discussion, con-
tenting myself with the comment
that many man makes a monkey
of himself, but / never yet have
found monkey who made man
of himself.
And perhaps the monkey would
! hesitate to do so even if he could.
From his palm tree perspective, as
he views the faults and weakness
es of man, the average respectable
ape might not be flattered at all to
be told that he is the progenitor
OF the human race. This thought
is given telling expression in a
poem of unknown authorship tit
led ''The Monkeys Viewpoint "
Here it is:

with Mr.. Kennedy's new money
request.
The report did not take into
account the newly proposed
military spending, but chal-
.lenged the administration S
previous estimate that the
current 1862 deficit would total
$3.7 billion.
Actually. the staff said the
prospective deficit would have
been $40 billion regardless o.
the further buildup for Berlin.
IAN increase in defense
spending might bring increased
economic activity, higher level;
of income and profits than
those assumed by the staff. and
some increase in revenues in
fiscal 1863" the congressional
report said, adding:
But it seems unlikely that
the increase in revenues would
be as great as the increase in
expenditures"
Postal Increases Excluded
The committees higher def
cit estimate was accounted
mainly for by excluding more
than $700 million in postal rate
increases asked by Mr.. Kennedy
but so far shelved by Congress.
But the committee staff also
estimated present tax revenues

INTERPRETIVE REPORT

especially on South Wet Nam
where the government is
mounting a new campaign, with
American help, to stop infiltra =
tion of Communist North Wet
Namese and to wipe out gIer-
rilla bands inside the country.
Note Reds Latin Power
The Kennedy administration
is also conscious of Mr.. Khru-
shchev's ability to move in any
part of the world, especially
Latin America. Through the
Communist parties in most
countries, Mr.. Khrushchev can
stir demonstrations and riots to
make Red influence felt beyond
its actual strength.
Trouble is expected in Brit
ish Guiana, Venezuela, Bolivia,
and other places in South
America. The Castro beach

! would be $500 million less than
the Treasury has forecast.
On their face, Mr.. Kennedy s
new requests would appear to
create deficit of Sc, ,290 ,000. 900
if receipts do not rise above
the s81.433, 900, 900 officially
estimated by the administration.
But a Budget Bureau spokes-
man said the new spending will
generate substantial extra rev
nues, mostly in the form Of
taxes paid on tiI. b. :.
earnings of defense contractors,
and this would offset to some
extent the rise in Government
costs.
The net result must be an
approximation at this time. the
bureau said, but obviously the
deficit will be more than S.
billion"
The bureau supplied figures
showing that $2.74 billion of
the newly requested appropria-
tions would be spent in this
fiscal year. Added to the previ-
ous estimate of outlays, $84,-
$50 100000, the scheduled out
lays would life the spending
total to the peak peacetime
figure of nearly $S7, ,730 ,000, 900.

Kennedy Asks
New Start on
Civil Defense

President Kennedy in asking
Congress for funds for a new
start" on civilian defense and
the beginning of a fallout shell
ter program to protect the
people in the event of a nuclear
war.
In his radio and television
address to the Nation last night,
the President said he would
request $207 million more for
civilian defense. This would
virtually treble the $1O5 mil
lion previously sought from
Congress.
I'm the event Of an attack" "
the President said, "the lives OF
those families which are not
hit in q nuclear blast and fire
can be saved-if they are
warned to take shelter and if
that shelter is available. We
owe that kind Of insurance
to our families-and to our
country"
Such protection. the Presi-
dent pointed out, is new to this
country in contrast to coun-
tries of our friends in Europe" "
He said the time to start is
now and added: I'm the COM
ing months I hope to let every
citizen know what steps he can
take without delay to protect
his family in case of attack.
I know you would not want to
do less"
Last week the President
shifted major responsibilities
for the shelter program and an
adequate warning system from
the office of Civil and Defense
Mobilization to the Defense
Department.
The new funds requested by
the President will be used, he
said, for these immediate
detectives:
To identify and mark space
in existing structures-public
and private-that could be
used as fall-out shelters and
increase their capacity.
To stock those shelters with
food, water, first-aid kits, tools
sanitation facilities and other
minimum essentials for sur
vival.
To improve the air-raid
warning system and fall-out
detection system. including a
new household warning system
now under development"
He said the program would
include other measures that
would be effective at an early
date to save millions of lives
if needed. Provisions will be
made in new Federal buildings
the President said, for space
suitable for fall-out shelters.
