Much as it seems to be more urgent to clean up
Front Street and the garbage pit this spring, it is also
necessary to look beyond the needs of today and plan
for tomorrow.

President Kennedy Calls Cpon Nation
To Rally Behind Bold New' Measures
WASHINGTON iff — President
Kennedy called upon the nation
Thursday to rally behind bold
new measures and spend more
money to attack economic prob
lems at home and abroad,
strengthen its armed forces and
rocket a man to the moon.
The cost tag: SI.5 billion now
and billions more later. Work
toward putting a man on the
moon, perhaps not to be achieved
for a decade, may cost $7 billion
to $9 billion over the next five
years.
Kennedy told Congress the
country must support “a great
positive adventure” to advance
the cause of freedom against
mounting pressures of the Com
munist conspiracy.
Kennedy set forth his new de
mands on all Americans under
extraordinary circumstances. He
went before a joint Senate-House
session, televised and broadcast,
:o deliver what amounted to a
lew State of the Union Message.
To meet what he called "the
lost of special opportunities and
iangers which have become in
creasingly clear in recent months,”
Kennedy asked backing of Con
gress and the nation for what he
ermed these necessary measures:
Space
For the year immediately ahead
>697 million additional to work
>n shooting the moon, develop
ng a nuclear rocket, accelerating
lse of communications satellites,
ind speeding up a satellite world
wide weather observation pro
gram.
\rmy
A complete reorganization and
nodernization of the Army’s di
/isional structure, to soup up its
ion-nuclear firepower, improve
:actieal mobility and flexibility
md provide modern mechanized
iivisions in Europe and new air
borne brigades in Europe and the
3acific.
Plans for speedier potential mo
bilization of the Army reserve
ire being worked out so that Army
combat power could be nearly
loubled in less than two months,
f need be.
Marines
A $60 million boost in funds to
raise Marine Corps strength to
190,000 men and thus strengthen
its initial impact and its staying
power.
Brush Fire Forces
Special forces and unconven
tional warfai’e units will be in
creased and so deployed and
equipped that “they can be
quickly moved to meet any out
break of trouble.”
Military Aid
A $225 million boost above the
previously requested $6 billion to
help other nations make their in
dependence secure in a battle
now “reaching its most crucial
stage.”
Kennedy said: “We cannot
merely state our opposition to
totalitarism without paying the
price of helping those now under
the greatest pressure.”
U.S. Intelligence Operations
The whole effort will be re
viewed. Without getting specific,
Kennedy promised whatever “new
organization policies and control
are necessai’y to insure the maxi
mum coordination and use of all
political, economic and psycho
logical resources.”
Unemployment
Measures to aid the unemployed
and employ jobless youths fully
will be submitted to Congress
shortly. Congress will receive
soon a program to provide for
training or retraining several
hundred thousand workers in new
occupational skills which will re
place skills made obsolete by
automation and industrial change.
Economic Growth
Lending capacity of the small
business administration should be
increased. Federal action can help
cut the cost of mortgages on
homes. The government must con
tinue to press for a general easing
of credit. Some further decrease
in interest rates is desirable.
Taxes and Finances
Again Kennedy appealed for
increased postal rates to whip
out a postal deficit runing more
than $800 million a year. He also
asked again for closing of tax
loopholes.

Commissioner of Fish & Wildlife
WASHINGTON UP — President
Kennedy formally nominated

and Wildlife Commissioner, an In

Kennedy’s intention to nominate
the former Alaska and Washing
ton state official, had been an
nounced previously.
fically the current racial violence
in the South. But he urged the
American people to show friend
ship to students and visitors from
other lands, and, “to practice
democracy at home—in all states,
with all races.”
Economic Aid Abroad
A $250 million increase —
raising the total to $2.65 billion
—to go into a Presidential emer
gency fund to aid emerging na
tions. Kennedy called the higher
total “both minimal and crucial”
for “the single most important
program available for building
the Frontiers of Freedom.” He is
asking Congress soon to estab
lish a new act for international
development.
U.S. Information Agency
Radio and television programs
to Latin America and Southeast
Asia will be stepped up. In Latin
America alone Spanish and Portu
guese broadcasts will be raised
from 42 to 154 hours a week.
Civil Defense
Responsibility for civil defense
now is being shifted to the Secre
tary of Defense. The present office
of Civil Defense and Mobilization,
now attached to the White House,
will be trimmed to a small co
ordinating body and renamed the
“Office of Emergency Planning.”
Appropriations for civil defense
should be more than tripled.
