US Military Spending To Increase Next Year
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—The Kennedy administration appeared to be preparing today to send military expenditures rocketing toward the $50 billion-a-year mark to insure continued supremacy over Russia.
KENNEDY TOLD his news conference yesterday that "the Soviet Union tested while we were at the table negotiating with them. If they fooled us once, it is their fault; if they fool us twice, it is our fault."
At the same time, the prospect of renewed U.S. nuclear testing in the atmosphere loomed larger as President Kennedy's advisers pressed their studies of the recent series of Soviet tests.
The President, who claimed from 1958 through the 1960 campaign that U.S. might be deteriorating seriously, said yesterday on the basis of latest intelligence estimates that America "would not trade places" with any country.

Then he outlined steps his administration had taken and said, "we are going to ask for additional funds for defense next year."
Harold Orel, associate professor of English, will read the parodies of Dwight McDonald at the Poetry Hour at 4 p.m. today in the Music and Browsing Room of the Kansas Union.
Officer Tells WUS Aims
The primary purpose of the World University Service (WUS) on the KU campus is education, a regional executive of WUS said last night. He said that WUS needed to teach students of the needs of fellow students abroad.
(WUS is an international organization to provide aid to underprivileged or disaster areas in world university communities. It has been a permanent committee of the All Student Council since 1956.)
Peter Leppmann, regional executive of the KU WUS chapter, explained the WUS program at a meeting of the Student Religious Council. Mr. Leppmann is at KU to promote WUS before the Campus Chest Drive.
"WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND what WUS does and what it needs," Mr. Leppmann said. "WUS has a program of mutual assistance rather than just doling out money."
He went on to explain:
"In many countries where there is a textbook shortage, we provide textbooks. We provide mimeograph machines. We hope with this kind of project they can establish cooperative printing processes and bookstores.
"WE DEAL IN INDIGENOUS methods," he said. "We do not send people abroad to show others how we do things. We feel that there are people in their own country who are more qualified in providing this assistance."
He said that WUS sends funds for assistance instead.
