Continent-Shattering
Asteroid Bomb Is Latest
Weapons Concept
WASHINGTON to — The grim
concept of an asteroid bomb —
a continent - shattering weapon
produced by diverting a tiny
planet from its orbit so it would
strike the earth — was intro
duced yesterday by a space sci
entist.
Dandridge Cole of General
Electric’s Missile and Space Vehi
cle Dept, said such a cataclysmic
weapon might be developed some
time after 1970.
The theory involves using a
Nova-class rocket to carry a crew
of men or remotely controlled de
vices to one of the “close-ap
proach” asteroids whose orbits
sometimes carry them (between the
earth and the planet Mars.
The idea would be to explode
a number of Hydrogen Bombs on
the surface of the asteroid in such
a way that the tiny planet would
be kicked out of its orbit and
pushed toward the earth—striking
with the force of several million
megaton-type H-Bombs.
In a report prepared for the
eighth annual meeting of the
American Astronautical Society,
Cole said:
“This unusual weapons system
shares with the biological weapons
the possibility for masquerading
as a natural catastrophe. The at
tacker could hope to escape blame
and retribution from surviving re
taliation forces.”

Kennedy’s Budget Calls for Record
Peacetime Spending of $92.5 Billion
By Frank Cormier
WASHINGTON M* — President
Kennedy, in the first federal
budget of his own making, called
for record peacetime spending of
$92.5 billion and a wobbly sur
plus of $463 million — a margin
possible only if revenues rocket
and the price of mailing a letter
is increased.
The 1,500-page spending blue
print, which covers the 1963 fis
cal year starting July 1, foresees
a spending rise of nearly $3.5 bil
lion over the current level.
Kennedy told Congress he ex
pects outlays to total slightly more
than $92.5 billion — an amount
exceeded only twice before, dur
ing World War H. Revenues were
estimated at $93 billion, an unpre
cedented level $11 billion higher
than this year’s income.
Highlighting the 7,400 - word
budget message which Kennedy
sent to Capitol Hill were these
recommendations:
A defense program of $52.7 bil
lion, up nearly $1/5 billion.
Allocation of $2.4 billion for
space research, an increase of $1.3
billion.

A foreign aid program boosted
by $200 million to $3.9 billion.
But along with that spending fig
ure, which includes $2.5 billion in
economic aid and $1.4 billion mili
tary aid, Kennedy asked nearly $5
billion of new funds.
Repeal of 10% Travel Tax
Repeal of the 10 per cent tax
on rail, bus and boat fares, with
later adjustments in aviation
taxes.
Enactment of a new farm bill
designed to cut farm program
spending from $6.3 billion to $5.8
billion.
Increase the “temporary” $298
billion national debt limit to e
new high of $308 billion.
Increase postal rates by about
$600 million a pear.
The new budget assumes that
the Berlin crisis will cool off
enough to permit the return home
by June 30 of military reservist?
mobilteed last fall. Any heighten
ing of cold war tensions could
prompt new hikes in defense
spending and wipe out the indi
cated surplus.
Kenndey also based his pro
jections on an assumption that
the economy will continue to ex
pand briskly into 1963. The Presi
dent said major economic records
will be broken month after month
while the unemployment rate will
drop from 61 per cent to 4 per
cent by mid-1963.
5c' Postal Rate
The fate of the postal rate re
quest, which has been shelved
three years running, also will have
a major impact on the budget.
Without higher rates including a
5-cent letter charge to add to the
anticipated big increase in tax
collections, Kennedy’s envisioned
(Many congressional Republicans
— and some DSnbcrats'—were
ready to demand greater economy
and a bigger surplus in order to
whittle down the record national
debt, now nudging the $298 bil
lion ceiling.
A surplus as small as the one
forecast bv Kennedy would re
present a big change from the in
dicated results for the current
fiscal year which ends June 80.
Kennedy said the current-year
outlook is for spending of $89.1
billion, revenues of $82.1 billion
and deficit of $7 billion.
Defending in advance his pro
posed spending increases, Ken
nedy said all new ideas for addi
tional outlays were reviewed in
accord with “strict standards of
urgency.” He said that, in the
name of economy, “many desirable
hew projects and activities are
being deferred.”
