State Spending To Require Dip Into Reserves By HUGH VAN SWEARINGEN Associated Press Writer North Dakota will spend about $6.2 million more than earns during the next two years for governmental operations, the final budget status report issued by the Legislative Council shows. The deficit will be made up taking reserves out of the general fund with the result that the general fund balance predicted at $23.5 million at the end of the current biennium will about $17.3 million at the the 1971-73 biennium. The 1971 Legislature appropriated a total of about $226 million from the general fund against estimated revenues of $220 million. Included in the appropriations, the council's report says, is $2,843,000 for the college building fund. The $17.4 million general fund balance at the end of the next biennium computed with the $2.8 million deducted for the college building fund.

The budget proposals presentto the legislature by Gov. William L. Guy contained a deficit of $8.3 million with revenues estimated at $218.3 million against spending proposais totaling $226.6 million. Reductions and increases made by the legislature in appropriations for the various state agencies resulted in a total spending reduction of $384,651 from the governor's bud. get recommendations, the status report Legislative smaction also increased expected revenue during the 1971-73 biennium by more than $1.7 million, which includes, the million controversial from the State Mill and Elevator to the state's general fund.

The governor had opposed the transfer. The transfer was made to finance construction of a $1 million service center at Grafton State School. Legislative action increased expected revenue from sales and use taxes by $408,000 and increased fees charged by various state agencies by $461,000. The gains were partially offset by action in reducing revenues from estate taxes by an estimated $100,000. The legislature ended its session with the general fund prediction for the 1971-73 biennium at $15.3 million.

The governor subsequently vetoed the portion of the Vietnam veterans bonus bill which provided for taking $2 million out of the general fund to provide initial financing for the bonus program. The $2,843,000 for the college building program includes $2 million appropriated by the 1971 Legislature along with $843,000 appropriated by the 1969 assembly. The Legislative Council's final budget report said passage of the college building fund bill "expressed the legislative assembly's intent" to support the transfer of $843,000 from the general fund to the college biilding fund "and also provided for an additional transfer during the 1971-73 biennium of $2 million to the college building fund." The all-funds spending by the state during the 1971-73 biennium will be about $494 million, the total amount appropriated by the legislature. The sum includes $268 million from special collections, much of it federal money, which does not go into the state's general fund. Also included in the special collections are fees charged by various professional licensing agencies and the various fuel and highway use taxes which finance the highway department's $110 million budget.

West led the queen of hearts which was won by dummy's king. A club lost to West's ace, whereupon a heart lead gave East two heart tricks and a spade lead back ended all hope for the declarer. At different stages in the play, South could have made one, two or three no-trump. See if you can find these lost opportunities. The first was when East played the king of diamonds.

South could have ducked. If East led back a spade they would have collected four spades and the ace of clubs and South would have made his contract on the nose.

Privately-Assembled Report Corn Prospect May Be Less Than Estimated WASHINGTON (AP) A privately-assembled report on 1971 corn prospects indicates that production of the nation's leading feed grain may be less than Agriculture Department planting estimates might indicate, The report, released Thursday by the Corn Refiners Association, was based on interviews and information gathered in 50 counties of Illinois, Indi ana, Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota. Based on those studies, the report said the five states -which accounted last year for 68 per cent of U.S. corn output--will increase their acreage this year only 3.2 per cent. The Agriculture Department's port said five-state corn March plantings, reacreage will increase 7.4 per cent this year from 1970. Association officials said the interviews were conducted "in all cases" with Extension Service employees and officials of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service in the counties.

There were no national acreage projections in the report, nor any production estimates. The Agriculture Department has made no 1971 corn production estimate, but a recent outlook report on feed said that if li- blight, the biggest unknown facor this year, is held to 1970 damage levels total output could rise one-tenth, FCC Approves Power 'Hike for KBMR Radio Judge Concurs In Calley Release From Stockade MIAMI, (AP) Col Reid W. Kennedy, the military judge who presided over the four-month trial of Lt. William L. Calley said Friday he would have released the My Lai lieutenant from confinement had President Nixon not done so.

The President, as commander in chief, has the right to review any case, Kennedy said in an interview. The judge was at Homestead Air Force Base trying another case. Calley, 27, was convicted last week of the premeditated murders of at least 22 Vietnamese civilians in his infantry platoon's sweep through the South Vietnamese hamlet of My Lai three years ago. He was sentenced to life in prison, but released from the stockade after a day's confinement by Nixon's order. Nixon also said he personally would review the case.

"I see nothing wrong with that," Kennedy said. "After all, he's the commander in chief of the military and he is part of the review system." Patrick J. Sloyan of the Washington bureau of the Baltimore News American interviewed Kennedy. Kennedy also commented on the much publicized letter written to the President by Capt. Aubrey Daniel, the 29-year-old prosecutor in the Calley case.

Daniel said through the President's actions, Nixon enhanced Calley's image as "a national hero." He added, "In view of your previous statements concerning this matter I have been particularly shocked and dismayed at your decision to intervene in these proceedings in the midst of the public clamor. Kennedy called Daniel "a purist," and added: "'He's a very intelligent young man, but he only sees good and evil, As you get a little older you realize that most are between the two The young prosecutor is due for release from the Army in a few weeks, the end of his normal duty tour.

At Drayton and Pembina crests 1-2 feet above flood stage are forecast April 18 and 19 respectively. Tributaries where flooding is forecast include the Buffalo River at Hawley and Dilworth, Minn.

The commission okayed an increase. in broadcasting power from 500 Anderson watts to 10,000 watts for KBMR. A. L. (Andy) Anderson, president and general manager of KBMR, noted however that although more power will be generated by KBMR than existing station in the state, it will not necessarily broadcast the longest distance, due the difference in frequency radiation characteristics.

Also approved by the FCC was a change in operating frequency from the present 1350 kilocycles to 1130 kilocycles. The station will continue to broadcast only during daylight hours, according to Anderson. Construction will begin on a 96 by 36-foot building as a new location for KBMR in about 30 days, according to Anderson. The site of the new structure is a half mile east of Bismarck on the proposed extension of Avenue A. Anderson said contracts for the construction of building have not yet been awarded.

The FCC also approved an agreement between KBMR and Henry G.
