In a statement issued from Defense Cost Stops Rising By EDWIN L.

DALR The New York Times News Service WASHINGTON United States defense spending has stopped going up. Figures published yesterday covering the first five months of the current fiscal year leave little doubt that the two-year period of steeply rising defense outlays, reflecting the war in Vietnam, is over. The cost of the war itself has probably leveled off as well, although new decisions to increase American forces could bring additional expenditures. There has, however, not been the slightest hint of any such decisions and President Johnson said last month that Gen. William C.

Westmoreland, U.S. Commander in Vietnam, "anticipates 110 in the force level of 525.000 men already ap- THE FIGURES issued yesterday were in the routine monthly Treasury statement of budget receipts and expenditures. They showed the following: Average monthly outlays in the first five months of the fiscal year, converted to an annual basis, were at a rate slightly above the total officially estimated just last month for the fiscal year. This indicated that spending in the future months will average slightly lower, if anything. In the fiscal year 1965, which ended just before the heavy 'commitment to Vietnam began, defense expenditures averaged about $3,850,000,000 a month.

THEY ROSE steadily, month by month, until they crossed the billion a month mark in March of this year. In each month of the current fiscal year, which began last July, expenditures have been above $6 billion a month. For the fiscal year as a whole, defense expenditures were estimated last January at $72.3 billion. Charles L. Schultze, the director of the budget, told the House Ways and Means Committee Nov.

29 that this estimate was Uichanged, with an increase of billion of Vietnam war costs above the original estimate being offset by a reduction of $2 billion in other defense outlays.

Tho' you've gone first and re. main, One thing I'd have you do, Walk slowly down that long lone path, For soon I'll follow you. I'll want to know each step you take, That I may walk the same, For some day down that lonely road, You'll hear me call your name. Sadly missed by wife. Mrs.
