Mc-Nainara has drawn guideline! for a new military budget that could reach $30 billion which would top thit yeac'a by about $3.5 billion. The current military budget the highest ever passed In peacetimewas increased about $6 billion from last yeai after President Kennedy ordered an increase in conventional military power to meet the Sov'et threat in Berlin and elsewhere in the world.

Pentagon sources stressed, however, that any over-all estima'e at this stage nust be considered extremely tentative. They said the process of listilling and shaping a military budget for the 3 fiscal year is only now getting under way in earnest. More precise figures may not be arrived at until mid-November, if then. Kennedy will present the military budget to Congress in January. It will be for the year starting next July.

INSTALLMENT AN EARTHQUAKE Johnny knew what he'd better do and how he could go about it.

No mob was taking his prisoner from him if he could help He would hurry back to the ja'l, put irons on Jackson, and move him out of Trailside a mile or two along the sta-ge road. He began walking faster down the street. He hurried by the outfitting shop and the Drovers' Rest and saw that the replacement horses were being led to the coach. Not "iueh time left!

Redman stood up and laid in a voire o' thunder, "Flynn! Damn you, I've got something to say to you!" Johnny started toward him, walking List. He had no clear idea what he wuld do when he got to RedmMi.

He would play this out as the 'ards fell. And then his legs quit obeying him, he staggered as though drunk, and his wild thought was that fatigue had overtaken him. The stricken faces of Rodman and Dollar gave him his first inkling the trouble lay not with him but with the earth. Beneath his feet a great rumbling grew, and he heard the creak and groan of frame and log as nearby buildings swayed. The ground rocked and he fell heavily, tried to get up, and fell again.

This was a nightmare, and in the midst of it he remembered Lazarus Kaw's weird concern of yesterday. "Hills tremble," the man hsd sighed. Now he knew what Kaw had meant, but how could anyone foretell an earthquake? Johnny picked- himself up and found he could stand, found the earth firm again. Afterwards he would try to recall the sensations of those thirty rocking, rumbling seconds and remember them only as a dream is remembered, hazy and formless. In his first moment of aftermath, his feeling was one of unbelief.

He had lived in mountain country most of his life and had heard old-timers speak of earthquakes, but they had been beyond his own experience and thus without reality. Now he felt betrayed. The earth was the enduring thing upon which foundations were set and structures reared, but the earth had proved unstable and could never be trusted again. That was his first reaction. His next was to wonder how much havoc had been wrought.

Thank God that not many lamps had yet been lighted! Fire could be a major hazard. He looked about wildly. Pete Dollar was fighting the blackboard team, panicked by the quake, Turk Redman clung to the wagon seat, his face "white. Redman had just met up with something bigger than himself. A moment ago these men had been Johnny's immediate concern.

Now they didn't matter. What mattered was that people were pouring into the street fromi FOUNDED UPON THE BEDROCK OF INTEGRITY KNOWLEDGE OF THE BUSINESS SERVICE cut of 147,720 men from the Army, yards away when be "saw a buck-board come hurtling up the street, Turk Redman, and bulky, on the seat, Pete Dollar handling the lines. Redman spied Johnny and shouted something at Pete Dol- debris. It flashed across hit mind; that a second quake might follow the first, and he angled out Into the middle of the street to be safer from anything else that might come down. He got abreast of the hotel and found the porch crowded with people who had spilled from inside, Some had moved out into the street.

AH were talking excitedly. Inside the hotel, the Rochester brass hanging lamps burned in lobby and dining room, and in nearby establishments, hand lamps instantly extinguished by, their owners at the first tremor, were now being relighted. The re-; placement horses, led out to the coach just a few minutes ago but not yet hitched, were acting migh-j ty spooky. Sandy Leeds" moved among them, trying to quiet Johnny had once heard that horses acted loco at the time of an earthquake. Sam Pentecost came running down the street, the look of deri-sive, amusement gone from his face.

The newspaperman spied Johnny, paused, clutched at Johnny's arm. "Man! Is this Pentecost shouted. "Where's the telegraph office? I've got to get word to my paper. How widespread do you suppose this was? What a story!" Johnny shook free of Pente-; cost's grasp, pointed across the street to where the telegraph office stood. He wanted to ask Pent.e- cost what had happened to those in! the Elks Hall, but the newspaper-1 man was on the run again.

Johnny hurried along. Someone brushed past him and said, "You ought to see the tackle shop! Ev-i ery shelf has been emptied on the) floor!" A second man, at the heels: of the first, said, "Did you hear: the way the ground rumbed? Just like a freight train with square wheels crossing an iron trestle." The stone sporting goods store had a big crack in its front, and mortar dust made a faint mist in the air. Johnny thought of the jail building, also stone, and again worried about Darby. Log and frame seemed to have weathered the quake well, wooden buildings! had some give to them. It was! the stone and brick structures1 that had suffered.

He was close enough to the Elks Hall now to see that a good part of the front wall had indeed fallen. He could see a hole high above, right under the apex of the roof, and bricks i lay scattered below. People milled before the building, a big crowd. Some were, quieting the saddle horses at the hitchrail. He spied Cathy.

She was stand-' ing beside her mother at the edge of the crowd, Lazarus Kaw with Navy and Air Force. The journal is a nonofficial publication close the the services.

MOSCOW (AP) -Mrs. Nikita Khrushchev told a group of Western "peace marchers" today that the Soviet Union was making no effort to build air raid shelters.

"There is no defense in a nuclear war," said Nina Khrushchev, the wife of the premier. "Therefore we are not building any bomb shelters. We are not getting ready." Mrs. Khrushchev made her remarks after spending an hour exchanging pleasantries and debating disarmament with the marchers, who arrived here Tuesday. The debate took place at Moscow's "House of Friendship," where Mrs.

Khrushchev's aides served tea, chocolate and apples. Most of the marchers did their best to convince Mrs. Khrushchev that, if the world refuses to disarm, one country should set a good example by discarding all its armaments. Mrs. Khrushchev declined to agree.

"We do not want ot be the only ones who throw our bombs into the ocean," she said. She added in the past 40 the Soviet Union has had many unfortunate experiences with war and does not want to all the buildings above, shouting to each other, pointing and gesticulating. He remembered Darby and glanced toward the jail. It looked firm as before. Still, he worried about Darby and would have run in that direction, but a shard of shouted speech reached him from the upper street.

"Look at the Elks Hall!" someone was crying. "Half the bricks have tumbled!" Cathy! he thought, and a hand seemed to close on his heart so that he fought for breath. He began running.

Laz got me and Cathy out. He put an arm around each of us and bulled his way through the crowd." Cathy shuddered. "Do you suppose there'll be another quake?" "Hard telling," Johnny "Best not to stand too close to the building, though." Rafe Kilbride, who had lately' spoken for an action more direct than a court might take, passed by. He was plainly scared but! with a grip on himself. He plucked at Johnny's sleeve.

"Anybody hurt down the street?" he asked. John-! ny shook his head. "Not that I've heard, Rafe." Kilbride nodded and moved on. "I'll see if I can lend a hand anywhere," he said. Adam Sykes moved through the i crowd, cool and impassive.
