To
Discuss Cuts
For Defense

WASHINGTON (UPD-Presi-
dent Johnson called in his top
military planners today to press
his campaign to trim defense
spending in next years budget.
A major aspect Of this effort
was a survey, disclosed Satur-
day by the President, to deter
mine which installations in this
country can be consolidated.
Another was an attempt to
decide whether there are mill
tary aid installations abroad
which can be closed.
Defense Secretary Robert S.
Mcnamara and Gen. Maxwell
D. Taylor, chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, had a
1890 am. EST appointment
with the President to discuss
the fiscal 1865 budget johnson
must send to Congress by next
Jan. 10.
Mcnamara was praised high
ly Sunday by Herbert Hoover
when johnson paid a 10-minute
call on the 89-year-old former
President, a Republican, in
New York.
Following the Mcnamara
Taylor meeting, Budget Direc-
tor Kermit Gordon and Deputy
Elmer Stats were on the call
ing list at IL am. EST. They
were expected to discuss with
Johnson possible spending cuts
in the budgets of the State and
Justice departments Veterans
Administration and Federal
Aviation Agency.
Johnson's busy agenda also
included a 10 am. meeting
with Interior Secretary Stewart
L. Udall; a 1915 am. intelli-
gence briefing from GA Direc-
tor John A. McCone and nation
al security assistant McGeorge
Bundy; a 3 pm. meeting with
a delegation from the National
Council Of Churches, and a 4:30
pm. appointment with William
S. Crockett, deputy undersecre-
tary of state for administration.
The President saw Hoover in
New York Sunday after attend
ing the funeral of New Deal
architect Herbert H. Lehman.
Johnson's two hour and Is min
ute visit to Manhattan, his first
trip away from Washington
since entering the White House,
was marked by the heaviest
presidential security precau-
tons in that city's history.
johnson began his day Sum-
day with a walk to church, via
a roundabout route Of more
than a mile. He flew to New
York and back, and then he
pitched into a Sunday afternoon

Nash said the sum was a $14. 4

You can see there is a wide
range of opinion, and it is obvious
the President budget and pro-
posed tax cuts and reform are not
going to have smooth sailing in
Congress. Much work remains to

precise legislation will be drafted,
and then | predict it will face

Your Congressman
Senner Vie1uS

OF and action on the Federal budget
This is tremendous task, and
vitality affects every citizen poe
ketbook. My purpose is to explain
briefly how the budget is handled
by Congress, and further give you
some different ideas concerning
the budget.
The proposed budget is pre-
pared by the President, and pre-
sented to Congress. Congress will
then consider it, authorize expen-
diture ograms, appropriate
funds, and enact necessary laws.
This year the budget was pre-
sented by the President as a pac-
kage, tied up with proposed tax
recommendations. According to
the President, the budget is de-
signed to help sluggish economy
by providing more jobs and indus
trial growth.
Breaking the budget dollar ex-
penditure down, it allots 62c to
defense, space and international
affairs: &C to veterans; 1Oc for
interest on the national debt; &C for
agriculture, and 16c for all other
functions. (This excludes trust
funds.)
There is little doubt that gov
ernment taxation and spending af-
fects our country's economic
system.
The budget. as presented by the
Pre- Sident, would result in a $1O3
billion deficit if his tax cuts and
reforms are enacted into law.
This is a planned deficit which.
with the tax reform he has pro-
posed. the President believes. will,
"provide for our national security,
boost the economy. increase tax
revenue, and achieve future budget
surpluses." He has characterized
it as, can inve stment in the
future"
Everyone doesn't agree withthe
President, but the idea that we will
have a deficit with the 1864 budget
which is finally adopted, and that
the deficit because of tax reduc-
tions) is urgently needed to i'm
prove the economy, is pretty we'll
accepted in most quarters: in
cluding the US. Chamber of Com
merce. which recognizes this need.
Proponents of the deficit theory
reason that in the modern onomy
the first objective is not to balance
the budget, but to balance the
economy. Whenthe economy is bal
anced at full capacity. we will have
full employment, and the budget
will then tend to come int o balance
of its own accord.
Those advancing this theory
point out that the budget exerts its
influence on the economy because it
controls about one-fifth of the
peoples income. This multiplies
its effect (some say 10 timesl
as the money is spent by the people
in providing their ordinary daily
needs.
Some of those who goalong with
the deficit budget idea do SO grud-
gingly, and only so far in that the
budget will eventually be balanced.
The Secretary of the Treasury
says that under the President
proposed program this should be
possible by fiscal 1867, or three
years away.
Opponents of deficit financing
say it involves the risk of reacti-
waiting initiation, damaging the COM
petitivenesS of US. products in

Ch oirm q MS Position

The official tally on the nomi-

the position of Chairman of the
Navajo Tribal Council as released
by the Election Supervisor gave
present Chairman Paul Jones,
Councilman Samuel Billison, and
F lag staff radio announcer,
Raymond Nahkai, the nomination
of various provinces.
The four geographical pro-
vinces from which a candidate
is nominated by delegates selected
by the Chapter Communities are
Ganado province, Tohatchi pro-
vince, Tuba City province and
Shiprock province.
In Ganado, the nomination vote
gave Jones 10, Nahkai 8 and
Billison z. In Tohatchi, Billison
received 9. Jones 8 and Nahkai
4. In Tuba City, Nahkai received
II, Jones 6, Billison none and
1 abstained. In Shiprock, Billison
received 7. Nahkai S, Jones none,
and 2 abStained.
Therefore the nominations
showed Billison winning in
Toh ate hi and Shiprock. Jones
winning in Ganado and Nahkai
winning in the Tuba City province.
The vote count indie ates some
hard fought campaigns prior to the

State law requires that rural es-
adjustments must be at least 10
miles apart.
Gov. Campbell referred to
controversy in Gallup about wheth-
er or not the county commission
approved the appica cation
Il would like to make it clear
that the laws of New Mexico do not
require approval Of the board of
county commissioners for the
issuance of licenses and that the
discretion for issuance of licenses
lies with the liquor director unless
the county commission votes its
disapproval," he said.
1t has seemed to me that an
attempt was made to place the
blame for the situation on local
officials rather than on the dis
cretionary action of the liquor di-
rector" he said.
The license was issued on Dec.
18 a few hours before then Gov.
Tom Bolack ordered a freeze on
issuance of any additional licenses
during his admin Stration.
Campbell said license issued
to Dorothy Thompson, niece of
Sheriff D. F. Mollica. was invalid.
The license, which was issued
by the previous Republican ad-
ministration's liquor director, so
angered the Navajo Tribe that it
broke off negoti ations for water
from the Tohatchi we'll field.
Executive Secretary of the Nav
ajo Tribe Maurice McCabe indi-
Gated that the matter would be con-
sidered by the Advisory Council,
probably favorably. He did state
that the nine-man ommittee,
headed by Vice Chairman Scott
Preston, would like to see if "other
legal action will be taken on the
part of those given the license. )"
