minute hitches astronauts Walter
Schirra and Thomas Stafford would

Later the city went down in
riuns and in 1521 Cortez founded
a new, moat noble and most loyal
city of Mexico at the site ot
these ruins, and it became the
capital of the Viceroyship of New
Spain.
During the three Centuries of
Spanish rule splendid buildings

’* It has been during the revolu

experienced radical transforma

and the Introduction of modern
arehltectual styles, which has de.
veloped the city so +hat today it
covers twice es much land as it
occupied during the preceedlng
century.
In the 19th Century Mexico was
ruled by two short lived emper
ors: They were Iturbide (1821-23)
and Maximilian (1864-87). But
since its independence In 1810 the
Nation has had a democratic
structure until the present with
the exception of the wo brief
periods of these men.
About the turn of the Century,
a boom of building activity gave
rise to several famous monuments
in Mexico City, The Independence
Column, located on Pasee- de-ba
Reforma as well as public Edifi
ces like the fine arts Palace and
Litina tower (from where above

Arms Buildup
MOSCOW (UPI) - The Soviet
Union announced today it was
boosting military spending in
by $666 million, a rise of 5 per
cent. The Russians made it clear
the boost was to counter the United1
States’ increased war effort in Viet '
Nam.
Finance Minister Vasily Garbuzov
announced a record peacetime bud
get of $116.99 billion and said 12.6
per cent of this was earmarekd for
military spending — $14.87 bil
lion. Last year military spending
was reduced $555 million to $13.2
billion.
The dollar figures are based on'
the Soviets’ arbitrary exchange rate"
of $1,111 to the ruble. Actually
the ruble is not hard currency
which can be exchanged on the
world markets and the figure is
an artificial rate of exchange.
Some fund* Disguised
Western military experts said the
Soviet defense budget does not rep
resent actual expenditures for mil
ita»-v cmilpment - that more than
half of it is disguised under alloca
tions for education, scientific re
search and other categories. The U.
S. defense budget for the current
fiscal year is 152.5 billion, phis
an additional $1.7 billion President
Johnson asked later for Viet Nam.
In presenting the budget to the
Soviet parliament for rubber stamp
approval Garbuzov did not men
tion the United States nor Viet Nam
by name. But his references to “im
perialism’’ and a “war of national
liberation” are Communist equiva
lents.
Western diplomatic observers said
