Today was Kennedy day at
the Supreme Court.
Attorney General Robert F
Kennedy was arguing an i'm
portant voting rights case and
his brother, Senator Edward
Kennedy, was admitted to
practice before the court.
The Attorney General, in
Producing his brother, the Sen
ator, identified him as my
brother Edward. United States
Senator from Massachusetts,
and a member of the MasSa- :
chusetts bar" He told the nine
justices he was satisfied" Sem
ator Kennedy possesses the
necessary qualifications"
Chief Justice Warren, with
a broad smile, said, Il welcome
you"
The Senator then stepped
to one end of the high court
bench, where he took the oath
as a member of the Supreme
Court bar.
Attorney General Kennedy
appeared in a morning outfit,
with gray silk tie. Senator
Kennedy wore a dark gray suit
and a dark long tie.
Senator Kennedy, 30, was
graduated from the University
of Virginia Law School in 1859.
Arguing First Case
The attention of the nine
justices is centered mainly on
the voting case, which could
mean the death of the county
unit system in party primar-
les. The attention of the
spectators, however, is on the
Kennedys.

carry a county get its unit
votes. The election winner is
the candidate who gets the
largest number of the overall
unit votes.
The special three judge court
expressly did not outlaw the
county unit system itself. What
the Federal court held was that
the system, as employed in the
Georgia primary, improperly
Disseminated against voters in
the more populous counties.
The Importance of today's
case goes far beyond the coun-
ty unit systems found in Geor-
gia, Maryland and Mississippi.
Under the present system in
Georgia, 80 per cent of the pop
ulation could cast a majority
of the county unit votes and a
single primary vote in the
smallest Georgia county carries
IA times the weight Of a vote
in the largest county.
The Government suggests
that any apportionment or
electoral system fails to meet
Constitutional standards If it
produces utterly capricious di-
vergencies in voting power or
imposes an extreme and in
vidious discrimination against
any class of voters"
Opening the arguments, Dep
uty Assistant Attorney General
B. D. Murphy of Georgia told
the court that the States
county unit system is rooted in
history and has been upheld
in four court cases in the past
l6 years. Justice Goldberg said
that in at least one of the cases

challenging the system had in
volved rejection Of what was

Record Figure
Sets Deficit al
S11.0 Billion
Estimates Shaped
To Spur Economy,
President Says
BY GARNETT d. HORNER
Star Staff Writer


Star Staff Writer
President Kennedy proposed
Federal spending of 1888 bill
lion-an all-time record high
for the 1864 fiscal year in his
annual budget message to Con-
gress today.
He estimated a near-record
$ll.9 billion deficit for the IL
months starting July /. But he
declared his budget was shaped
to put new life into the econ
omy and insure efficient and
frugal" conduct of public bus
ineSs.
Rising defense, space and in
tereSt costs account for the
$4.5 billion increase in pro-
posed spending over the $94.3
billion now estimated for the
1868 fiscal year ending June 80
when the deficit is expected
to be $8.8 billion.
1854 Billion Defense
National defense costs, in
cluding atomic energy and
foreign military aid programs,
were estimated at 1854 billion,
up $2.4 billion. Space expendi-
lures are going up $1.8 billion
Tor rs per cent? to $4.2 billion.
Interest on the public debt
which would shoot to a record
S3l5.6 billion - rises an es-
timated 1920 million to $10.1
billion.
Despite Congress cut of al
most 81 billion in his foreign
aid program last year. the
President requested slightly
more than he asked a year ago,
$4.95 billion.
For several domestic pro-
grams, the President proposed
increases as "a necessary pay
ment on future progress" These
included $165 million more for
education aid programs, $3.50
million more for health, sits
million more for area redevel-
opment, and $205 million more
for job retraining and youth
employment programs.
But these increases were more
than offset by estimated reduc-
tions in net outlays for such
things as farm price supports,
down 81 billion; postal serv-
ices, down $248 million, and
aids to private housing.
The predicted $11.9 billion
deficit would be the second
highest for a peacetime year
half a billion below the $12.4
billion incurred by President
Eisenhower in 1859.
Mr.. Kennedy argued, however,
that the choice lies between ac-
cepting a chronic deficit of
inertia due to inadequate eco
nomic growth" and a tempo
rary deficit cause by programs
designed to generate the econ
omy, boost revenues and even
tually achieve budget surpluses.
Asks Medicare
The President renewed re-
quests for much new legislation,
including medicare, creation Of
a Department of Urban Affairs
and Housing, establishment of
a National Service Corps as a
kind of domestic Peace Corps,
provision of aid for urban mass
transportation problems, and
assessment Of adequate user
charges" for many Federal
services, such as a 2-cent a
gallon tax on fuel used by
boats on inland water ways
and increased taxes for avia-
ton fuel. These taxes would
bring in 500 million.
He said he will send Congress
later a special message outlin-
ing a new education aid pro-
gram carefully designed to
provide a major impetus to the
solution of a selected number
of critical educational prob
lens"
The budget takes into ac-
count predicted effects OF the
Presidents Sl3.5 billion, three
year tax-cutting and tax re-
form plan, which he stressed
as the No, l priority job in

Borrowing Ceiling
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy today pro-
posed new formula for figur-
ing the Governments annual
payment to the District that
would mean a first-round in
crease of 70 per cent for the
city.
Under the White House plan,
the annual Federal grant would
go from $50 million to $50 mil
lion for the fiscal year begin
ming July /.
The city also would be given
a new, companion formula COW
ering its borrowing authority
under the Presidents recon-
mendations.
President Kennedy touched
on these financing proposals
for the District in the admin
istration's budget, submitted
COudy 10 congress.
The details will be sent to
Congress tomorrow in a special
message from the President on
District problems. The message
will be submitted along with
the administrations budget pro
posals for the city for the new
fiscal period.
The Star last Sunday report
ed that President Kennedy was
expected to propose flexible
ceilings linked to property
values in the city for both the
Federal payment and the loan
authority.

KhrushcheV
Waves Across
Berlin Wall
Premier Pays Visit
To Barrier During
Red Congress

BERLIN, Jan. II (AP).-Pre-
mier Khrushchev today visited
communism's bleak and hated
wall dividing Berlin and gazed
thoughtfully for a moment at
the American flag fluttering
over nearby Checkpoint Charlie.
Standing at the point where
United States and Soviet tanks
confronted each other in the
Berlin crisis of October, 1861,
he waved cheerfully to people
in West Berlin.
The Soviet leader made his
excursion to the wall at mid
day after hearing Wladyslaw
Gomulka, Polish Communist
chief, hail him at the East
German Communist Party con-
ference as the man who saved
the world from nuclear catas-
trophe during the Cuban crisis.
No Move to Cross
East German party chief
Walter Ulbricht was at Mr..
Khrushchev's side during the
visit to the wall. The Russian
Premier showed no inclination
to accept West Berlin Mayor
Willy Rrandt's suggestion that
he look at the wall from West
Berlin.
A few hours after his visit to
the wall Mr.. Khrushchev issued
a surprise invitation to Mayor
Brandt to confer with him in
East Berlin.
Mr.. Khrushchev approached
the border at the United States
sectors Friedrichstrasse cross
ing point, where foreigners are
permitted to enter East Berlin,
and walked to the last barrier
on the Communist side.
Mr.. Khrushchev stopped at
the first red and white striped
pole barring entry into East
Berlin. He stood only two feet
from the white line across the
street marking the border be-
tween East and West Berlin.
Firt 1t. Rudd H. johnson, a
military police officer from
Highland Park, ILL.,, in steel
helmet and combat equipment
stood a few feet from the line
1t. Johnson's expression did
not change.
Tourists Stare Back
United States, British and
French soldiers at Checkpoint
Charlie peered out of their hutS.
A small crowd of civilians on
the West side, including some
American tourists, stared back
at Mr.. Khrushchev. West
Berlin police said some in the
crowd shook their fists at Mr..
Khrushchev.
The sun was shining brightly
but there was snow underfoot. |
Mr.. Khrushchev wore a coat
with a fur collar and a fur hat. |
He grinned and waved to a
group of Western newsmen
standing six feet away from
him. Mr.. Ulbricht, also waved. /

In his budget message, the
President also said he would
soon recommend to Congress

eral classified and postal en-
ployes which would be added
onto the increases scheduled to
take effect January /, 1864.
Mr.. Kennedy recommended a
military pay increase averaging
l44 per cent for active duty
servicemen and reserviSts along
with a plan to put military
retirement pay on a new basis.
This would cost about $1.75
billion.

Pledges Efficiency

Mr.. Kennedy also pledged a
vigorous program to improve
operating efficiency and in

ernment. He gave Congress
numerous examples of where
substantial progress in this area
already has been made.
Mr.. Kennedy told Congress
that salaries of upper-level ca

sation provided outside Govern

Now Under Ceiling

During recent yearsn Congress
has voted the annual payment
under a fixed-dollar ceiling.
The maximum now is S32 mil
lion. For the past several years,
however, the actual appropria-
ton has been $50 million.
AS to borrowing, the District
in the current fiscal year has
earmarked the last portion of
a SIS million Treasury loan.
The funds have been earmarked
for general construction prof.
ects. A bill authorizing the city
to borrow another SIS million
died in the last Congress.

ments sent to Congress today,
President Kennedy said he will

sion to give the Nations Cap
