(UP1 — Strong indications of a new federal bud get in excess of 81 billion dollars I and a deficit this year because of the steel strike came out of a meeting between President Eisen hower and Budget Director Mau rice H.

Stans met with the President for two hours, going over non-mil itary item , in the budget lor fis- j leal 1901 which begins next .July I1 The budget for the present fis- j j cal year is estimated at about $78,900,000,000 and the administra tion had been hoping for a reve nue surplus of about 100 million | dollars. Stans told reporters before fly ing back to Washington shortly before noon that because of the ! steel strike and lower steel rom I pany profits, “the odds are swing ing against a balanced budget” this year. 1 “The recoupment of steel prof its probably will come largely in j calendar 1900.” Stans said, add | ing that the resulting increase in j i tax revenue to the government [ would come in the next fiscal year, rather than this year. Stans said that “built-in” in- j creases in federal spending point- i cd to an increase of about two j billion dollars in expenditures dur ing the next fiscal year. Thus, that the government could conic up with an overall budget that did not reflect this increased cost. The military budget for next year is expected to be about 41 billion dollars, and this, consid ! ered together with what Stans ! called “built-in” increases in i other forms of government spend I ing, pointed to an overall budget | of 81 billion dollars and probably I more. ■ in_■ _ Judge Sends lola Allen To Prison Late tl'is afternoon a jury re turned with a verdict of guilty against Ioia Allen, a Harnett col ored woman accused in the abor tion death of a former maid at Campbell College. .lodge Q.
