...budget deficit for fiscal 1962 will be about $6.9 billion, less than the peacetime record of $12.4 billion in 1959, but far from the hopes Kennedy held before Soviet threats forced the U.S. into an accelerated arms buildup. Kennedy still promised a balanced budget for 1963 "barring extraordinary and unforeseen defense requirements"-and he clearly felt that now is the time to begin working toward it.

Columbia, without the services of quarterback Tom Vasell, showed unforeseen strength in blasting Brown. Last week, however, the Lions lost to Princeton, of whom little had been expected, by 49 to 0, with Vasell (back in action) completing more passes to Princeton men (3) than to his Columbia teammates...
