Quite a race developed Saturday

soared to the top position. many
1 other babies gave her a .nighty
I close race. Several babies were tied
I for one poaltion. And Just the mtlea

The new budget, presented to
Congress a short time ago. Is thtt
eleventh straight edition of the kOd
oral government's version of "Gone
with the Wind."
It tells the same gloomy story as
its ten predecessors of millions and
billions oC dollars blotwtng away
down tho gae. And 4* has the samo
old vidians: a skyrocketing national
debt, a huge deficit, and the prospect
of heavier taxes hung like an
anchor around the neck of Mr. Average
Cltlren.
The annual budget is a big book
snd it's a dell book, but It's all writ
ten about YOUR money. On that ac
cdunt, It's worthwhile spending
some time digging around among
the millions and billion to get at
I least some Idea of what all the
