VP) Wireptwt Living Costs Hit New 5 Babies Die; Indio Hospital Ward Closed By a Times Correspondent RIVERSIDE, Dec. 20 High Level in November Four drunk drivers were arrested and 273 traf fic citations were issued yesterday as the California Highway Patrol began its county wide traffic safety campaign for the holidays.

In the city, police made 16 drunk-driving arrests, in cluding one involving a felony, in a holiday traffic safety campaign of their own yesterday. I Late last night, the CHP said 6329 cars had been in spected at seven traffic check points. Citations were issued for 235 hazardous vio lations, 34 routine violations and to four motorist3 driving with expired or suspended licenses. First Check Point The first check point was at a roadblock on Whittier Blvd. and Saybrook Ave.

in East Los Angeles shortly alter the morning rush hour, Inspector Russell E. Fu- son, commander of the CHP's southern zone, said the roadblocks were a warning to potential celebrants who might try to drive after drinking. "We're declaring our hand," he said. "We don't want to have to arrest them. We would rather they would take a taxi home than try td drive 'themselves." Spots Kept Secret 0)ther roadblocks will be set up at unannounced I)oints throughout the South-and throughout the holiday period, he said.

Meanwhile, both Sheriff Biscailuz and Police Chief Parker announced all avail able traffic officers in their departments would be mobilized to watch for drunk drivers. Holidays and regular days off for these officers have been canceled. "We have no sympathy for the man who drinks and drives," Chief Parker de clared, "His. safest place is behind bars and that's where we're going to put him." Humane Actions Asked of Hungary UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 20 The U.N.

Special Committee on Hungary tonight asked the Communist government in Budapest to apply highest humanitarian standards in trying participants in the 1956 uprising. The five-nation committee created by the General Assembly early this year also expressed concern over reports that freedom fight ers were being tried despite Budapest's assertion that no trials are on.

McElroy was tackled on the subject as soon as he re turned today from the NATO meetings in Paris. amount is not quite set," he hedged.

Asked then whether it might be about 1 billion dol lars, McElroy replied "that wouldn't be iar wrong." The money is needed for "missiles fand other things," the Dcfehse chief said, but missiles will represent a large part of the total. Operational production of two intermediate range bal listic missiles, the -Army Jupiter and the Air Force's; Thor, was ordered recently, and this will run into a lot of money. Higher Budget Expensive missile testing also has been stepped up, and "the Army has been di rected to use a modified Jupiter-C in U.S. efforts to launch an earth satellite. A supplemental appropriation would push the current defense budget to approximately $39,500,000,000 and take a big bite out of the surplus the administration hoped to have at the end of the fiscal year.

Last Oct. 1 Treasury offi cials estimated they would have a surplus of around $1,500,000,000 to apply against the national debt on June 30. Billion Dollars A billion dollars more for defense this year would cut the anticipated surplus down to about $300,000,000. A continued recession trend "in business, reducing tax revenues, might bring income and outgo even closer together. On the other hand, increased government spending for defense would help to bolster the business economy.

Measure Passes Comrnons by Only Small Majority LONDON, Dec. 20 (TV- Prime Minister Macmillan won approval irom tne House of Commons tonight for NATO's summit policies and the planting of U.S. nuclear missile bases in Britain. But the smallness of the government's majority 38 votes fell 20 short of nor mal Conservative strength and brought shouts of re sign from Labor benches. The test of strength came after a five-hour debate in which the opposition again assailed the American mis sile bases project and the flights of American bomber patrols over Britain with H- bomb load3.

Some Conserva tive as well as Labor speak ers demanded mat Britain adopt a more independent policy to seek agreement with Russia. Four Bases Sought The United States and Britain are reported to have virtually agreed upon build ing four bases in Britain perhaps in Scotland for medium missiles whose 1500- mile range could reach Mos cow. Macmillan wound up to day's debate by quieting any doubt that Britain would hold the veto on any trigger ing of a missile attack from bases in Britain. "We have complete nega tive control," he emphasized. At the same time, he said, Britain could not shoot them off on her own without Washington's approval.

Well Satisfied Declaring himself well sat isfied with the NATO deci sions in Paris, he said: "I believe what we have done to gether has been well done and will strengthen our po sition, both for. the defense of freedom which we believe in, and for seeking peace." He said the NATO deci sions left the door -open for any type of talks with the Soviet Union a hint that Turn to Page 4, Column 1 Near-Perfect Skies Marred by Late Smog Smog yesterday afternoon marred what otherwise would have been perfect weather in the Los Angeles Basin.

It could reach 73 billion dollars or more as the United States tries to meet the challenge of Russian military-scientific advances.
