I SERVICE NEWS Navy Seaman Readiness Test FEDERAL OUTLAY TRENDS MgWICATlOMAL) I What One Person Can Do Humanitarian Honored With Moving Tribute When Bob Considine died, many of his fellow journalists considered him the finest newspaperman of his time. But it was to Considine the humanitarian, that H.D. Quigg, UPI Senior editor, paid tribute in a moving appreciation. Said Mr. Quigg: "He was a humanitarian and few knew it. His bearing and demeanor had the quality of majesty, but his spirit bubbled constantly with fun, with a gift for humor that crackled with originality. Stale jokes of the street were not for him; obscenity and profanity never crossed his mouth." Quigg recalls that on news stories around the country or the world, Considine was the man who helped young jour­ nalists who were not as ex­ perienced as he. Always mindful of others, he never gave a party without inviting the copy boys first. Considine's powers of con­ centration were legendary. He used every spare moment, and besides his work as a newspaperman, columnist, newscaster and correspondent, he wrote twenty-five books. He loved his work, and frequently said so. "In what other trade can a man hope to build a bridge between himself and others every day of every week and every year?" he once wrote. "Call it vanity, call it arrogant presumption, call it what you wish, but I would grope for the nearest open grave if I had no newspaper or wire service to work for, no need to search for, and sometimes find, the winged word that just fits, no keen wonder over what each un­ folding day may bring. "God asks no more of each of us than this: 'that we do what we are doing with a will, and that we leave those with whom we have worked and lived the richer for having been with us.'

Fiscal Year 1974 Fiscal Year 1978 (Estimated) NET INTEREST NET INTEREST A DEFENSE OTHER . FEDERAL J OPERATIONS --GRANTS TO STATES AND LOCALITIES DEFENSE OTHER FEDERAL OPERATIONS GRANTS TO STATES AND LOCALITIES This chart graphically portrays a percentage comparison of federal outlays for major programs in Fiscal Years 1974 and 1978. Direct benefit payments to individuals continued to be the domi­ nant element of the federal budget. The Fiscal Year 1978 budget message noted the significant shift in the distribution of federal resources: "Nondefense spending on payments to individuals and grants to state and local governments rose on an average 9.5 percent per year, and a total of more than 500 percent even when ad­ justed for inflation, over the 20-year period ending in 1976. Before adjustment for inflation, the increase was almost 14 percent per year, or over 1,000 percent The largest increases were for direct nondefense payments to individuals, for programs such as social security and medicare. "During the same period, spending for defense with a comparable adjustment for inflation declined a total of 11 percent, although it increased 126 percent before adjustment for inflation."
