SGT Billion
Budget Seen
For Fiscal '63
By the Associated Press

The budget President Ken
nedy will send Congress next
January may be in the neigh
borhood of a record SGT billion.
This early-bird view Of Mr..
Kennedy'S first, on-his-own
budget. stems from estimates
prepared by Budget Bureau ex-
perts.
Revenues would have to
climb considerably to put such
a budget in balance.
An $87 billion budget would
be about Sc billion above cur
rent levels. 1t should be bal
anced, informed sources said
yesterday, if the economy makes
a satisfactory recovery from
the current recession.
Budgets Revised
Mr.. Kennedy already has re-
vised the 1851 and 1862 budgets
submitted by former President
Eisenhower. Mr.. Kennedy's re-
visions included estimates that
Federal spending would rise
from $80.7 billion in the cur
rent fiscal year to $84.3 billion
in the IL months beginning
July /.
The budget due next January
will be the first for which Mr..
Kennedy will have sole respon-
Sibility. It. will cover the 1868
fiscal year. which begins July /.
1862.
In addition to the rise in
spending indicated in Mr.. Ken
neoy's revision of Eisenhower
budgets, budget experts at the
staff level, it was learned, have
prepared a preliminary estimate
that spending in fiscal 1868 will
show a rise of 50 billion to So
billion.
This would be due entirely,
informants said, to "built-in"
spending increases i'll programs
already voted by Congress. The
estimates also take into ac-
count probable decreases in
some of these programs.
"Built-In" Raises
The increases would push
spending to somewhere be-
tween 1858 billion and sS7.3
billion. The budget could
zoom even higher because Of:
/. Tie effect Of new pro-
grams begun by Mr.. Kennedy,
although it was understood the
bureau staff does not look now
for increased spending in fiscal
1868 on this account.
2. The effect of any step
up in defense spending.
Mr.. Kennedy already has
called for a boost in military
outlays. Secretary of Defense
Mcnamara is undertaking a
new review which largely will
determine if a further increase
will be called for in fiscal 1868.
To balance an $87 billion
budget revenues would have to
climb to that figure or more
by fiscal 1868. Budget Bureau
aides were said to be quite con-
fident that this is possible if
the economy makes a steady
recovery and continues to grow
without interruption into 1864.
Tax receipts are estimated
at $78.5 billion for the current
year and $S1.4 billion for fis-
cal 1862. This would .lean
total deficits for the two years
of $5 billion.

GENEVA, April 6 (AP).-
The Soviet delegate to the
three-power nuclear test-ban
talks announced today his
government will insist the sys-
tenn to police an agreement
must be headed by a three
man administrative council.
Western conference sources
say Soviet insistence on this
demand may wreck the 21a-
year-old conference at which
the United States, Britain and
the Soviet Union are trying to
write a treaty to ban nuclear
testing.
Soviet Delegate Semyon K.
Tsarapkin first voiced the So
Wet demand at the resumption
Of the talks on March q after
a long winter recess.
He told United States Dele
gate Arthur H. Dean and Brit
iSh Minister of State David
Ormsby-G Gore the Soviet gov
ernment withdrew its agree
ment in principle that the con-
troll system should be headed
by a single administrator, q
neutral scientist.
Gripping Veto Seen
Mr.. Tsarapkin formally pro-
posed that the administrator
be replaced by a three-man
administrative council, con-
sisting of one Westerner, one
Communist and one neutral.
Such a formula is believed
to be entirely unacceptable to
the Western delegations, who
maintain the control system
would be crippled by introduc-
ing the idea of the veto into
the day-to-day work of the Or
ganization.
Mr.. Dean and Mr.. Ormsby-
Gore have repeatedly appealed
to MIR. Tsarapkin to withdraw
this demand, which rocked the
conference even before the two
Western delegations put their
new compromise proposals on
the table. Today MFR. Tsarap-
kin announced his firm stand
on the three-man Secretariat
similar to what Premier Khru-
shchev says he wants for the
United Nations.
Mr.. Tsarapkin told newsmen
after the 284th session of the
talks today tine Soviet Union
has no intention of withdraw
ing the triumvirate proposal.
And he added the Soviet gov
ernment is determined to op-
pose the Western concept of a
single administrator.
This is out CT the question" ;"
