President Kennedy got the
reception usually accorded to
the bearer of bad tidings-a
kind Of wincing interest. Even
those who came expecting to
be cheered up grudgingly ad-
mired the way he laid it on
the line.
For people who regard the
state-of the Union message as
an occasion for party rejoicing
and reunion, for listening to
the Federal prose version of
"everything's coming up roses.
yesterdays was a somber af-
fair, indeed.
President Kennedy was, as
he said in his opening remarks.

crowded chamber, possibly be-
cause during his time in Con-
gress he had been making his
own way to higher things and
not fully participating in the
life around him.
Besides, yesterday he spoke
to a House divided. The wal
over the Rules Committee was
in the air. The man who could
stand in the way Of the whole
Kennedy program, Rules Com
mittee Chairman Smith oi
Virginia, lurked in the back o1
the chamber. consciously no
raising q hand to cheer on his
new leader.
The President was, to bt
sure, interrupted some 81 time.
during his 44-minute speech
but only twice with fervor. i
was easy to see why. His mes.
sage, breaking with a tradition
that calls for holding out good

money, help, justices-could b.
simply translated to one starl
line: Things are tough all over
The young, new PreSiden

One Killed, Two Hurt
In Indian Head Blast

A young chemical engineer
was killed last night and two of
his assistants we're injured when
an explosion rocked their lab
oratory at the Naval Propellant
Plant, Indian Head, Md.
A spokesman for the Navy
said the dead man was John
Boyd III, "a, of Youngstown,
Ohio.
Mr.. Boyd was working or
research project on propellants
when the explosion occurred at
$3.50 pm, the Navy said.
Injured in the accident
were Dennis c. Hudson, 10, OF
Indian Head, and Charles H
Adams, 18, of Valley Lee, Md
Both men were assisting Mr.
Boyd on the project. They were
treated at the base dispensary
and released last night.
Navy spokesmen said the
cause of the blast was not
yet known. A board of naval
officers has been appointed tC
investigate the explosion.
Mr.. Boyd and his two assist
ants apparently we're working
on the project after the

regular working hours of the
plant. Most of the plant en-
ployes had left for home at
about 4:30 pm, the spokesman
said.
Mr.. Boyd and his assistants
were the only persons in the
laboratory when the explosion
occurred. The Navy said that
details of the type of blast
and the damage could not be
made public for security rea-
sons.
A spokesman said, however,
that damage to the chemical
laboratory building itself was
minor. Base ambulance and
fire equipment rushed to the
scene after the accident.
Mr.. Boyd was dead when the
ambulance arrived. The naval
spokesman said that the exact
cause of Mr.. Boyd's death
would not be made known, but
added that he had probably
died instantly.
In five previous explosions
at the Indian Head installa-
ton in the past three years, a
total of three men have beer
killed and some 80 injured.

only complete disarmament

American negotiators want
some degree of flexibility in

Boom Possible
In Next Year,
Dillon Says
Secretary Sees
Economic Gain
Of 8 Pet. in 1862
BY LEE M. COIN
Star staff Writer

/
Treasury Secretary Dillon to-
day predicted 1862 will see the
economy rolling in high gear"
with total output squirting 8
per cent above this years.
In a speech prepared for a
National Press Club luncheon,
Mr.. Dillon said I'VE may well
be in the midst of an economic
boom" a year from now.
He said gross national prod
uct-total production of goods
and services-probably will rise
by stages from an annual rate
of $3.50 billion in the October
December quarter of this year
to a $50 billion rate at the end
of 1862.
This upturn, he said, would
make GIMP total $555 billion in
1962-up nearly 8 per cent over
the anticipated 1861 level Of
not quite $515 billion.
Federal Surplus Seen
If the economy prospers in
calendar 1862 as expected, he
said, Federal revenues in fiscal
1868, which will start July /,
1862, should rise to about 500
billion from $81.4 billion esti-
mated for fiscal 1862.
Then. he continued, "our
revenues for fiscal 1868 would
be adequate to meet all of our
national needs, with some
thing left over"
Mr.. Dillon implied that he
would favor using much of the
resulting budget surplus to re-
tire part of the national debt
instead of raising Government
spending to match increased
revenues. Debt retirement, he
said, would free funds for in
vestment by business and in
dustry, thus helping to accel-
crate economic growth.
Mr.. Dillon devoted much of
his speech to defending budget
deficits anticipated for the cur
rent fiscal year. 1861, and for
fiscal 1862. He said the deficits
of SO billion for fiscal 1861 and
$3.7 billion for fiscal 1862 are
entirely appropriate"
Deficit Called Necessary
Most responsible observers,
he said, acknowledged that this
years deficit is necessary be-
cause of the recently ended re-
ceSSion. He noted, however,
that many people see no reason
for a deficit next fiscal year,
when the economy will be on
the rise, and fear the deficit
will cause initiation.
Mr.. Dillon said fiscal 1862
revenues will be based largely
on profits and personal income
