DIAL 343-4667 FOB RESERVATIONS TRAVEL Inc a 4 GOP Chief Cites Need For Taxes WASHINGTON (AP) Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen of Illinois said Friday he doubts that a $6 billion increase in Social Security taxes would be sufficient to ward off inflation without an income tax boost Dirksen a member of the Senate Finance Committee said that action Thursday in voting to raise the maximum Social Security payroll tax to $440 a year was geared to maintaining a pay as you go basis for the increased benefits it approved Sees Trouble doubt that enough to gear it to the inflation he said He conceded however that if Congress approves the boost it would make it more difficult for President Johnson to get his 10 per cent surtax program through Dirksen said in response to news conference questions that he understands the administration regards a $20 billion deficit the current fiscal year as But he said that unless spending is reduced and taxes increased the deficit could top $30 billion because of increased Vietnam War spending He said he looks for a supplemental request for an additional $4 billion in Vietnam funds Chairman Weeps know that the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board (William McChesney Martin) is very concerned about the fiscal he said fact he fairly weeps about Rep Gerald Ford of Michigan House minority leader said he expects House conferees to resist

343-7779 Pentagon Discounts (Continued from Page One) could provide only limited coverage An orbital threat could come from over either the North or South Pole McNamara said He said it is that Russia has been testing space vehicles for some reentry but that suspect that the Russians are pursuing the research and development of a Fractional Orbital Bombardment He acknowledged that such a weapon could orbit the earth two or three times before ejecting its warhead Actually a satellite which whirred through several orbits before firing would be easier to intercept than would a weapon fired after only a partial orbital flight McNamara said US intelligence has detected evidence of this kind of a development over the past month or two Briefings Finished Asked why the announcement was made now the secretary said briefings on the situation had been completed only within the last few days However there was some feeling that McNamara could have been attempting to get in ahead of possible disclosure of the orbital bomb at Senate hearings opening next week on the recent US decision to build a light antimissile defense Some senators who favor a much heavier antimissile defense-directed at a sophisticated Russian threat as well as the anticipated less sophisticated Chinese missile threat reportedly knew about the orbital bomb To Beat Russians Also McNamara could have been trying to forestall a dramatic disclosure by the Russians in connection with their 50th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution McNamara disputed a newsman's description of the orbital bomb as a He said it is less accurate and less efficient than the intercontinental ballistic missile There would be no particular reason he said to use the orbital bomb against cities However he said the Russians apparently would intend the orbital bomb to knock out US bombers before they get off the ground With 40 Strategic Air Command bomber bases McNamara said the Russians would need a of orbital bombs to destroy such bases No Defense He said as he has said before that believe there is a defense today in their hands or able to prevent large scale missile attack on population centers As in the case of the orbital bomb the United States is relying on deterrents to stave off such a disastrous missile attack from Russia This he said is roughly three minutes and 500 miles from target and the flight path time can be as much as 10 minutes shorter than an ICBM But he said use of over-the-horizon which could detect a launching of an enemy would negate the time advantage of such a launch system In effect he said the over-the-horizon radar would restore the 15-minute maximum warning time now possible against an over-the-pole missile attack The over-the-horizon radar was announced as under development three years ago McNamara declared that the far outweigh the that would accrue to the Russians from any such orbital bomb system Boise's public library serves as our community's main source of factual information research material and books for pleasurable reading But our library building has long outgrown its means to provide you with adequate library services Since the last building addition was completed back in 1914 the library has had to increase its numbers of books and reference materials 15-fold to meet community needs for information and reading entertainment And people use this material 1 0 times as much You can help provide the library services we need in Boise for the price of one good book each year That's a small price to pay for knowledge Brown Yorty Show Accord Backing

Brown said of Yorty Dirksen Defies To OK Import WASHINGTON (AP) Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen of Illinois voiced defiance Friday of President threat to veto import restriction legislation Congress may pass While Dirksen said he believes some import-quota bills can be passed over a veto Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana said in a separate interview that if Congress overboard on quotas it could be economically Dirksen was asked at a news conference about statement in a Thursday speech that protectionist bills just must not become law and not going to as long as President of this The Republican leader made it clear that efforts will be made to marshal the two-thirds vote of both houses necessary to override a veto at least on some of the import bills GOP Back Dirksen Dirksen who has supported basic Vietnam War policies while some other influential Republicans have been attacking them probably would get strong GOP support in efforts to nullify presidential vetoes The Illinois senator said a textile import-quota bill yet to be acted upon already has the public support of 68 senators more than the necessary two-thirds Objecting to designation of this and other measures as protectionist Dirksen said that a steel import bill looks at the future realities of world trade US Market Eyed are importing 11 million tons of steel a year and we probably could live
