The Senate Finance Committee reported that a minority of the statesthose with heaviest unemploymentwould obtain more in benefits than they would pay in tax. Among these states named were Michigan. New York. Pennsylvania. Kentucky. New Jersey. Alaska, Ohio and West Virginia.

In a special budget message', Kennedy discarded as over-optimistic the January estimates of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who forecast a slim $80 million surplus this year and a $1.5 .urplus in fiscal 1962, starting July 1.

There Is no surplus in the inherited Eisenhower budget for 1961, Kennedy advised Congress. It is over $2 billion out of balance, he said. The" actual estimate is $2.2 billion. It means the debt limit must be raised again, the President said.

The surplus heralded for fiscal

deficit on the civilian side alone,

Kennedy announced. He said the Eisenhower administration, which never admitted there was a recession, based its revenue estimate on a much rosier economy,

Officials said Kennedys military program, plus revised estimates, of the cost of defense programs, wUl send the total 1962 deficit beyond $3 billion and swell the public debt by mid-1962 to a record of about $290 billion.

Nowhere in this message was there the slightest indication of a ix)ssible temporary tax cut to combat the business slump.

As Eisenhower had done. Kennedy asked a $843 million postal rate increase to eliminate the Post Office deficit.

The Presidents defense program is due to reach Congress next week. Todays fi.OOO-word

matters. Many paragraphs were devoted to documenting Kennedys pledgemade in his State of the Union messagethat his program would not unbalance the budget of and by themselves.

It is my determined purpose to be a prudent steward of the public fundsto obtain a dollars worth of results for every dollar we .spend. the President said.

His 1962 budget is precisely balanced at $83.2 billion of income and outgo, Kennedy said, if the Eisenhower estimate of defense spending and tax collections is accepted. But a more realistic judgment of the impact of the business slump reduces receipts to $81.4 billion, he added.

The 1962 fLscal figures^in brief; outgo, $83.2 billion; income, $81.4 billion. The totals compared with Eisenhowers proposed $80.9 billion of outlays and proposed $82.3

1962 has become a $1.8 billion i message dealt only with civilian 1 billion of revenues.

But the totals didnt mean much with the military proposals still to be heard.

Administration men explained the two-part budget message in iis way: Kennedy v^anted to

show Congress and the country that his civilian programs were not budget-busters, that he has rel respect for prudent budgeting, But defense needs get overriding priority, and national security programs wont be cut to fit budget ceilingsas many Democrats claimed was done in the Eisenhower administration.

The biggest increases from Elsenhowers budget asked by Kennedy were these: Agricultuie Department. $478 million more: Commerce Department, $48 million. mostly for aid to depressed areas: aid to education $.500 million; aid to children of the jobless, $215 million: temporary Job-less pay, $440 million, space proj

ects, $85 million.

Todays message was so skimpy on details that newsmen had to draw on other sourcesadministration aides and Democratic leaders in Congressto discover many of the fiscal facts which the message itself merely implied.

Congress therefore got no explicit statement from the White House on the actual estimated 1962 deficit, on the new "estimates of 1961 income and outgo, on the actual appropriation requests (as distinguished from planned spending), or on the outlook for the federal debt. However, the figures were clearly implied and provided on a non-attribution basis by responsible officials.

Kennedy announced the the federal debt will exceed $285 billion on June 30. That is the

$285 billion.

As Elsenhower did annually, Kennedy asked for another debt ceiling increase before June 30. The specific request, he said, will be delayed until May.

From administration officials who met newsmen at a not-for-quotation White House briefing it was learned that the debt will reach about $287 billion by June 30, the fiscal year-end.

That exceeds the record midyear debt level reached in 1960, $286 billion. In mid-1962 still another record wiH be set: the debt by then wUl stand at about $290 billion.

Two-Thirds Of Major Industrial Areas Feel Unemployment

WASHINGTON (AP)-The gov ernment reported today that a record two-thirds of all the major Industrial areas in the nation are now experiencing substantial unemployment.

Shortly before the breakdown was released Pre.sideni Kennedy signed into law the first of hi.s antirecession measures to get through Congress a program that will begin channeling $1 bil-
