The new fiscal blueprint also would thin slightly the over-all jobholders, sell creased from $311.8 billion to $317 billion, he estimated. Nevertheless it is a "compassionate" budget, Johnson said, providing history's heaviest spending for "our nation's most important resource its people." He asked more than $1 billion for a package attack on the roots of misery. Johnson told the legislators he was guided, in this first major economic task of his presidency, by the principle that "an austere budget need not be and should not be a standstill budget," and explained: "When vigorous pruning of old programs and procedures releases the funds to meet new challenges and opportunities, economy becomes the companion of progress.

Spurred by tax cuts, national output this year will soar by nearly $40 billion to a surprising record total of about $623 billion, the President predicted, generating higher revenues spite the lower tax rates. So federal income' will climb by $4.6 billion hi the coming fiscal year to $93 billion, while government spending is squeezed down by $500 million to $97.9 billion for the second budget cut in nine years. But Johnson added a warning an implied hint of business recession and a bigger deficit if taxes are not cut to jog the congressional champions ot fiscal caution who have delayed action for more than a year on the $11-billion tax reduction bill.

King, principal, announced today. Traffic safety and driver training has been offered for several years in the Del Rio Independent School District and it has cultivated above average traffic safety among the teenagers that have taken Uie course. Among those completing the program last year, only five out of 152 have been involved in accidents. This is 3 per cent record which is eon siderubly below the national average of 12 per cent. These figures arc based on the fact that on the average one out of four people throughout the nation are involved in an accident annually.

Driver-trained arc involved in on average of one out of eight. Locally the ratio is one out of 30. Insurance companies see the instruction so beneficial toward better safety that they grant a 10 per cent discount for male drivers under 25 from their surcharge on auto Insurance premiums.
