His requests were made in an extraordinary message -- a second report on the State of the Union, for delivery in person before a joint Senate - House session, almost on the eve of the departure for conferences abroad. Kennedy asked for $1,500,000,- 000 in new appropriations now to get on with his programs plus a recognition from Congress and the country that billions more will be required in the future. Speaking of the objective of "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth," a project some experts believe may require nine or 10 years, the president said HALF WAY NOT ENOUGH "Let it be clear that Iam asking the Congress and the country to accept a firm com- mitment to a new course of action--a course which will last for many Years and carry very Ben-Gurion Tells Diet Of Dangers OTTAWA (CP) Premier David Ben - Gurion of Israel briefed Prime Minister Diefen- baker on current Middle East, dangers in an hourlong confer- ence today.

If we were to go only half way, | or reduce our sights in the face § of difficulty, it would be better not to go at all." The message called for a sweeping reorganization of mili- tary combat power, an increase in the marine corps, and a build-up of the land and air weapons needed for brush fire wars and para-military (guer- rilla) operations. The president committed the U.S. to take '" a clearly leading role in space achievement." "For while we cannot guar-| antee that we shall one day be first, we can guarantee that any future to share this effort will make us last," the president said Kennedy asked $679,000,000 of new funds for space explora- tion, including $531,000,000 for ® ROYAL BRIDAL PROCESSION Sweden's Princess Birgitta | and Bavarian Prince Johann George of Hohenzollern ride through Stockholm street in open carriage after their mar- | | ceremony in the stately throne riage today.

Boat Capsizes Anglers Drown THESSALON (CP) -- Twe Michigan fishermen were drowned Wednesday when a sudden wind capsized their small boat and dumped them and two other men into the icy waters of Clear Lake. The two survivors reached shore after twa hours in the water. Then they had to wait hours for the boat to float to shore so they could go back across the lake for help. Exhausted after the ordeal, they rested in an abandoned cabin before seeking help. Pro- vincial police were finally noti- fied early today.
