McGovern insisted that the gradual shift to a $54-blllion military budget can be done while maintaining national security against any "If we're ever confronted with a situation where the Soviet Union and China team up against us, we're perfectly capable of destroying both of those nations simultaneously," he said. Car Passenger Killed in Waushara County" (By tht Assoclattd Press) A young Wild Rose man became the state's first weekend fatality earjy today. The death raised the state's annual traffic toll to 448, compared with 387 on this date a year ago. Waushara County authorities said Patrick VanArsdale, 19, of Wild Rose was killed early this morning when the car he was a passenger In rolled on its side and slid int5 a tree on a county road, two miles east of Wild Rose.

ence a "negligible" increase of $50 or so and that persons earning more than $20,000 would experience an "appreciable Increase." McGovern said his plan to trim the military budget to $54 billion by 1975 would enable the federal government to create more jobs. Military spending now accounts for $87.3 billion a year. "Every $1 billion transferred to new priorities would create a net increase of 39,000 jobs the 'first year, 45,000 in the second, 47,000 in the third and 48,000 in the fourth," he said. McGovern also proposed an immediate $10 billion federal investment jobs in housing, transportation, pollution control and public service "to reduce unemployment to 4.3 per cent by the end of the year. "In sum," he said, "if we reduce our dependence on arms spending, if we get out of the bad habit of trying to stimulate the economy by running more funds through corporate treasuries in special tax breaks, and if we begin Investing directly in public priorities, then full employ would be taxed away from those with higher incomes.

"It would not be confiscatory at any level," McGovern said of his proposed taxes to pay for the plan. But it would require a "substantial tax bite" from persons earning $50,000 a year or more, he added. Republican members of the committee disagreed at several points with McGovern's arithmetic and logic. He said he is not wedded to any specific formula at this point and that a team of economists working with him are attempting to sharpen the ideas further. He promised to publicize final price tags for his program and to make them as realistic as possible.

Sen. Jacob Javits, said that, according to his analysts, most of the taxes would come from those earning $15,000 to $20,000 a year. "I think you're going to take a tremendous bite out of the middle class," Javits-sald. "I respectfully disagree," McGovern replied. He said persons earning $14,000 to $20,000 would experi A i 1 i fs.

WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. George McGovern has defended his plan for raising the Income of the poor, but he still can't answer Republican skeptics who want to know the pice tag. McGovern," the leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, says his economic advisers are working on the problem and should produce accurate cost figures soon. Meanwhile, he said, he feels sure the cost will fall far short of the $210 billion critics say his plan would cost. The South Dakota senator appeared before the congressional Joint Economic Committee for three hours of testimony Friday.

In the face of numerous hostile questions, he defended both his economic proposals and his plan to cut defense spending. McGovern endorsed the tax reform bill Introduced by Rep. Wilbur Mills, calling for phasing out 54 specific tax loopholes over a three-year period. Such a plan, McGovern said, would give Congress the opportunity to weigh the' merits of tax exemptions one at a time. Equally important, he continued, it would give the President the chance to veto the restoration of such exemptions one at a time.

At present, changes in tax laws are encased in a massive bill, preventing the President from vetoing single Hems and forcing him either to accept-or reject the entire package. Because it provides financing for the entire federal establishment, he most often has accepted it even if he disagrees with certain of its parts.

Willard Smith of Fort Smith, attorney for William Bremer, objected Friday to the news media covering the extradition proceedings. He said the news media was attempting to make a "big deal out of a man being a brother's brother." Garry Brewer, Bumpers' aide on prison affairs, granted the extradition request.

In doing so, Brewer gave Smith time to test the extradition proceedings in circuit court. Assistant State Attorney Joseph Nazzaro of Miami repre LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) office of Gov.

(AP) Tropical Storm Agnes, already responsible for the loss of the liyes of four Cuban boaters, could soon become the first hurricane of the year, the National Hurricane Center reported today.

The Miami center said the storm, drifting eastward across the Caribbean jSea near Mexico's Cozumel Island, may strengthen to hurricane force winds of 74 miles per hour by late today or Sunday. "We don't expect any rapid increase at all," forecaster John Hope said early today, "but there's been a very slow increase and we expect it to continue." Hope said the center is not "ruling out the possibility" that Agnes might become a full hurricane today. Agnes, which carried sustained winds of 55 m.p.h. and gusts of up to 70 m.p.h. late Friday, hovered over the Yucatan Peninsula for several days as a tropical disturbance before being upgraded to storm status Friday as it moved over open water.
