Congress Adds One Billion To Budget For 12 Months
The House Senate Committee on Reduction of Federal Expenditures reports Congress has added about 1 billion dollars to President Nixon's budget for the year starting July 1 and likely will add several billion more. The panel links the increase mainly to miners' black lung benefits while noting other bills could raise overall spending. The White House resists a tax rise, preferring program cuts to curb deficits. The committee projects the current year's deficit may be 9 to 13 billion below January's 38.8 billion forecast, but next year's deficit could rise from refunds and revised revenue estimates.

Draft Call In July Taps Nos 30 50
The Selective Service said lottery numbers 30 through 50 will be called starting in July with a July draft quota of 7,200 rising to 9,000 in August. The yearly pace aims for about 50,000 total, with calls likely below last year’s No 125 cutoff. Officials note uncertainty over the year’s high lottery number and a new option allowing enlistment in the National Guard or Reserves after induction notices. The Guard option aims to boost sagging reserve numbers and may not take effect until late June.
