FINANCIAL PLAN
 NEXT CONGRESS
Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D ooo,OOo,oOO limit, proposed the in. crease yesterday, saying: We have only just started to rearm." Treas. ury officials indicated their beliei that the $4,000, 900 000 increase in the debt authorized fo rdefense purposes only, would be exhausted before the end of this fiscal year. On October 3l only $567, ,000,0 of the $45 ,000,. 100000 borrowing authority for gen. eral purposes, remained.
 Should Go Over
 Congressional leaders agreed that action on the treasury proposals should go over to the Congress when the House ways and means commit tee probably will start work on a new tax bill. An increase in the debt limit and taxation of exempt securi- ties could be considered at the same time, they said.
 Morgenthau said he intended to ask Congress to withdraw the de- fense restriction on the $4 ,000 000, ,000 increase of the national debt already authorized so that it may be used for general expenditures as well as for defense. This, he said, would per- init a savings through the lower in- terest rates on longer-term securi- ties. Under present restrictions, de- fense bonds must be limited to five years.
 Morgenthau foresaw the possibil- ity of a national debt of $65, ,000,- 100000 by June 30, 1942.
 Reaction to his proposals was fa- vorable among the few congressman here. Republicans and Democrats of the House ways and means commit tee and the Senate finance commit tee agreed on the necessity for in- creasing the debt limit to- meet mounting defense costs.
 But Senator Harry F. Byrd, D.. Va, dissented on procedure. He op- posed a $2o 100000, ,0oo extension at onetime, saying 1t should be in- creased $5 5,000, 100000 at a time "to keep a check on extravaganza"

Several prominent members of ST.
Joseph's parish, this city, last night
attended mass meeting of Lithu-
anian- Americans in New Britain
where a resolution was adopted
asking United States Senator's and
Congressman from Connecticut to
do all in their power to insure them
any new government which may
be set up in Lithuania by Russia
shall not be recognized by this
country.
The resolution will point out that
any new form of government in the
fatherland of thousands of local
Lithuanians, which may now be
established will be set up not by
the will of the people there but as
result of the use of force and
domination by the Soviet leaders.
Appropriately, the Hardware City
meeting, which attracted about soc
persons to st. Andrews Parish hall
was held on the very day on which
parliamentary elections were being
held in Lithuania, Latvia and Es-
tonia, elections which are expectde
to be preliminary step toward abb
sorption of the countries as part OF
the Soviet government. The cleo
tons were so arranged, New Britain
Lithuanians said, that they could
have only one result, that in favor
of the USSR.
1t is hoped that the step taken
there Sunday will start a country
wide wave Of activity in behalf OF
Lithuanian independence.
