crease spending greatly and
result in unbalanced budgets. /
Mr.. Kennedy asserted during
the campaign that he favored
balancing the budget except in
periods Of severe unemploy-I
ment or national emergency !.
In today's message, he said it
is his determined purpose to
be a prudent steward of the
public funds"
He told Congress budget sur
pluses in good times should
more than offset deficits dur
ing recessions, but the tone Of
his message was tolerant of
increased Federal spending.
Non-defense spending viii rise
as the Nations needs increase.
he said, although warning
against allowing expenditures
to "riSe of their own momen-
tum."
Says He Has Kept Pledge
The economy can afford to
pay for needed programs, he
said, declaring: I'VE will not
waste our resources on ineffi-
cient or undesirable expendi-
ture simply because the econ
omy Is slack-nor, in order to
run a surplus, will We deny our
people essential services or
security simply because the
economy is prosperous"
Federal spending and taxa
ton should contribute to
economic growth and MAXI
mum employment within a set
ting of reasonable price stabil-
ity." the President saic.
Mr.. Kennedy recalled that
he told Congress in January's
state Of the Union message
that his programs-not count
ing urgent" defense spending
would mot of and by them
selves unbalance the earlier
Eisenhower budget" He said
he has kept that pledge.
If Mr.. EiSenhower'S $82.3 bill
lion revenue estimate for fiscal
1862 had been accurate, he
said, the budget should be ball
anced, exclusive of defense. He
said his economic programs
win produce an extra 5000 mil
lion of Government income,
raising total revenues to $S3,
233,000,000.
That level of revenues, he
said, would exceed expenditures
by $46 million, He estimated
that the new administrators
proposed non-defense programs
would increase spending by S2.3
billion above the Eisenhower
forecast. for total outlayS of
$83.187, 900. 900.
After making this point
about a theoretical balance, the
President said Mr.. Eisenhower
was too optimistic about pros
i poets for an economic upturn.
A more realistic forecast, he
said, would put revenues at
$81.4 billion, producing a deficit
Of $1.8 billion.
Estimate Called Too Low
Officials said the si.8 hillior
deficit estimate really is toC
low. because Mr.. Eisenhower
underestimated spending on his
own programs by $500 million
Therefore. he said, spending

GOVERNOR PAIEWONSKY REPORTS ON
HIS SEVENTY-FIVE DAYS IN OFFICE
In a radio broadcast TO the people Of the Virgin Is
lands on Monday night. June IS. Governor Ralph Pale
GOOD EVENING FELLOW VIRGIN ISLANDERS

I'm talking to you tonight be-
cause / must leave our Islands for
a couple of weeks and travel
about half way around the world
to a conference of governors in
the State of Hawaii. My admins
tration ha sheen in office some
seventy-five days. / made many
pledges and promises to you when
I took office. This is going to be
an informal report on the way
these commitments of mine are
being executed. ! think the people
of the Virgin Islands have a right
to know what's going on up on
Government Hill. I'm going to
give you a frank report with a
lot of facts. I think if you'll give
me your attention, you'll find out
what this government is doing.
I'm not going to waste your time
answering trivial criticism in de-
tail. I'll give you the main facts.
The facts will speak for them
selves.
When I took office back in
April, there were a number Of
fires that had to be put out, and
that was my first order of bust
ness. Now, as you all know, a new
governor arriving in these Islands
from outside has often spent six
months to a year just finding out
how things worked in this terri
tory, and meantime he couldn't
move with any sureness. Here
if you'll forgive mel think the
President did use wisdom in APP
pointing a native Virgin Islander
who could get right at the job.
So far as I was concerned, the
number one fire happened to be
the st. Thomas Airport. This pro-
blem had been hanging over the
islands for years, getting more
and more acute. Hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars were spent IN
surveys, year after year. A scheme
for a new airport on the eastern
end Of the island kept coming up,
an airport that would cost at
least fifteen million dollars and
maybe a lot more, and one that
would have eaten up a lot Of
scarce land. Where were we going
to get this fifteen million dollars
with proper roads, terminal build
ings, etc? This figure would be
closer to $25, OOO,OOO--that's more
than twice our annual budget, you
know. Where we we're going to
get this tremendous sum, nobody
could say. Also, it would take
five years to build. The story was

Fare Rise on
z Bus Lines

Proposed fare increases
scheduled to go into effect
Monday on two Virginia bus
lines serving downtown Wash

by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The ICC ordered the Arnold
Lines and AB&W Transit Co
to defer any increases for in
terstate trips until October 19
to allow more time for investi-
cation and public hearings.
The two firms had filed ap-
plications with the ICC a
month ago seeking higher
fares on bus operations be-
tween the District and points
in nearby Virginia. They
would have gone into effect
automatically on Monday had
the ICC not acted today.
The Arnold Lines had asked
for permission to raise the cost
of bus tokens from four for IS
cents to four for 95 cents. The
basic 25-cent cash fare and
zone fares also would have been
increased in some cases.
AB&W Transit Co. sought
higher fares, ranging from 21a
cents on tokens to S cents per
zone on cash fares. 1t would
have raised the minimum cash
fare from 20 to Is cents while
leaving the maximum at go
cents. Tokens would have sold

Teen-Age Jurors Cut
