Police Chief L. B. McCallum told
a reporter that the incident oc-

The male student, however, told

The girls were identified later
by Lonnie King of Atlanta, head

The three were on Greyhound

When they declined, they were

Police launched an intensive

Miss Trussell was a cousin of

She was dead when police ar

appraised the events which led di-

Kings subsequent release from

Following the wave of sit-in de-

said he was meeting with some

to affect a truce.
The mayor added that Morris
Abram, Atlanta attorney, came to

organization had called him to ex-

The National Red Cross has turned
down a plea to help Negro share
croppers evicted from their homes
in Fayette County, Tenn.
But Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther,
Red Cross president, said local

About 75 Negroes, including
many children are living in tents

They are some of a group of

eviction notices effective Jan. 1.
The Justice Department called the
evictions reprisals for attempting
to register and vote. The farm
owners said they were forced to
evict the Negroes because of in
creased mechanization.

through legislation for tempo

workers who had exhausted

It was not clear what the

The Eisenhower administration

2. Provide more food to the

In addition to his reference
to housing, Mr.. Kennedy indi-
Gated he will propose increased

Aside from merits of these pro-
grams, they would be expected
to stimulate the economy by in

A task force of advisers to

lion to stimulate the economy.
The Eisenhower administration
maintained that increased
spending for public works and
other programs does little to
combat a recession, because the
money gets into circulation toe
slowly.
Furthermore, according to
that view, the spending takes
effect after the economy re-
covers, and thus aggravates in
flationary pressures. But Pres.
ident Kennedy took the stand
that the economy will need
long-term stimulation even
after the recession ends, be-
cause recovery from the 1855

Many officers in all three
services want to restrict the big
nuclear punch to deterrence Of
attacks on this country and
deter other aggressions with
limited-war forces. This shift
would require more and better
small-war forces, which MIR.

Without saying so specifi-

philosophy that would key oul

struction Of the Soviet Union
The invHlnerable. sheer-de-

the advantage of being less ex-

Treasury to Refinonce
With Cash, New Issues

idea pioneered last year by the
Eisenhower administration.
The Treasury said $50 bill
lion Of securities maturing next
month will be paid off in cash
and new issues will be sold to
replace them. This technique
was first used last August and
was successful.
In the past. it was normal
practice to refinance maturing
securities by offering new is
sues in exchange. The Eisen-
hover administration adopted
the practice Of varying this ap-
proach from time to time by
paying off maturing issues and
selling new ones.
One possible reason for the
decision by the Treasury,s new
management may be the drop
in Federal revenues caused by
the business slump.
Earlier this winter, the Eli
SenhoWer administration said
the Treasury did not expect to
borrow any more new cash
until after July l. However,
the revenue drop has prompted
several recent small borrowings
through expansion of the
weekly issues of three-month
and siX-month bills.
1t may be that the Kennedy
administration believes more
new borrowings will be neces-
sary. If so, 1t might even re-
place next months maturing
issues with new securities total
ing a larger amount.
The department said the $50
billion Of AZ per cent certifi-
Gates maturing February Is
will be replaced by one or more
new issues. 1t said an an
nouncement Of the details will
be made later this week.
The public owns approxi-
mately 1925 billion of the
maturing certificates. Most Of
the rest are held by the Fed

next June 80. and fiscal 1862.
the year starting next July 1.
Mr.. Eisenhower estimated a
budget surplus Of $40 million
for fiscal 1861 and SIS billion
for fiscal 1862.
Mr.. Kennedy said the 1861
budget "is almost certain to
show a net deficit"
He said the 1861 budget will
remain in balance only if Con-
gresS enacts all the revenue
measures requested by Mr..
Eisenhower and if the economy
RECEIVERS faster than hts ad-
visers expect. Many observers
share the Presidents skepticism
about congressional action to
raise postal rates and increase,
other Government receipts.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Kennedy
said he must of necessity build
on the spending and revenue
estimates already submitted"
He said the increased ex-
penditureS he proposes will
generate increasing revenues.
Key to Reducing Deficit
The Kennedy administra-
tion's programs, he said, will
not of and by themselves un-
balance the earlier CEisen-
hower) budget" That is, he i'm
piled, If the 1862 budget shows
a deficit, it will be because
the Eisenhower budget was un-
realistic and not because OF
changes by the Kennedy ad-
ministration.
Just as economic growth is
vital domestically, the Presi-
dent said, growth also Is "the
key" to reducing the deficit in
the United States balance of
international payments. The
United States. he noted, has
spent, invested and given away
abroad nearly $1l billion more
than it has received from
abroad since 1858. This imbal-
ance is settled partly through
sale of gold to foreigners, and
the Governments stock Of gold
has declined by nearly IS bill
lion since 1958-resulting in
some loss Of confidence in the
soundness of the dollar.
