Senate Group Votes
To Reduce Public Deb1
Limit 10 us Billion
Byrd Says Action Would
Put Treasury Borrowings
On Poy-os-Y You-Go Bosis
BY the Assoeioted Press

The Senate Finance Commit
tee voted unanimously today to
cut the public debt limit from
100000, 100000 to $275,O ,0OO,-
900.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia said such action would put
Treasury borrowings on a pay-as-
you-go basis.
Secretary of the Treasury Vinson
agreed to the proposed reduction
after the committee provided that
the statutory debt should include
only actual obligations and not the
full face value of outstanding notes.
Victory Bonds at Full Value.
Senator Byrd explained to news
men that, under present law, the
Treasury carries at S25 value-as
far as the statutory debt limita-
ton is concerned - Victory Bonds
originally purchased by holders for
$18.75.
Mr.. Vinson said the provision to
list these and other bonds at the
actual amount now due on them
would cut $4,000, 900, 900 off the sta
tutory debt as now calculated by the
Treasury.
Can Borrow Only 500, ,OOO, 900.
He explained that this $10,OO0,-
100000 is not carried in the pub
lished figures of the debt, but only
in the total the Treasury itself
maintains to stay within the legal
limitation.
On the basis of the Treasury s
published debt of ,091 or
April le, Senator Byrd said the Gov
ernment can borrow only s7O0,OO0..
600 under the proposed limitation
without additional congressional au.
thorization
This practically puts us on &
pay-as-you-go basis as far as the
debt is concerned Senator Byrd

Time Of Reported Attack,
Marshall Is Informed
BY the Assoeioied Press

| CHUNGKING, April %
American-made Chinese Air
Force planes were operating over
Szepingkai at the time the Chi
neSe Communists claimed they
had been strafed by American
flyers, Gen. George C. Marshall's
headquarters was informed to-
day.
/ A message from the American
member of the Mukden field team
said one Chinese Psi fighter plane
pilot. 1t. Chen, was missing in the
Szepingkai operation. and was wear
ing an American flying suit.
The Communist dispatch claimed
that one of the planes was shot
down and the pilot found to be
an American.
American military sources pre-
viously declared there were no
American-owned planes in the area
at the time.
Clear Marking Recommended.
The officer making the report
recommended that Chinese aircraft,
operating from Mukden, which were
obtained from the United States,
be plainly and permanently marked
with Chinese national airforce iden-
| tification.
The planes. he said are still bear
ing the old United States Air Forces
marking covered with cold water
paint. which is easily removed.
The Nationalist charged the
Communists have Russians fighting
ION the Communist side), and now
the Communists are making charges
concerning the Americans" the
message said. Il suggest the Chi
nese be asked to mark planes per-
manently. No American plane
should fly north of Mukden without
clearance both from the Commu-
nists and the Nationalists.
The Communist New China Daily
News reported today that three di-
visions of the National 1st Army
and one division of the list Army
had been attacking Szepingkai since
April 18. The dispatch said the
Communists still controlled the city,
however, up to Saturday.
Move Closer to Changchun.
Meanwhile, the Peoples Daily said
the vanguard of the government s
1st Army had reached Kungchu-
ling, 40 miles south of Changchun,
and it predicted bitter fighting
would follow. Eighty thousand
Communist troops are reported con-
centrated in that area.
Meanwhile, the armed thrust of
i Communists elsewhere in rich Man.
churia, and peace parleys in Chung
king moved ahead, with no indica-
ton when either would reach a
climax.
The Communists were reported al
ready moving small groups into
Harbin, North Manchurian indus
trial center.
i In Peiping. the official Central
News Agency reported that Russian
authorities of the Sino-Soviet con-
trolled Chinese Eastern Railway
had consented to the use of that
system to transport Chinese gov
ernment troops into Harbin. The
dispatch, from Harbin said, how
ever, the consent came too late to
prevent the Communists moving in
at will.

trouble is he can't pay enough to
get good men. He has repeatedly
pointed out that Mr.. Roosevelt
manned the ship Of state in de-
preston when jobs were scarce and
then had the war when he could
make people work for the Govern

Not All of the Story.
This is part but not all of the
story. Unfortunately, nowhere is it
more true than in politics that
nothing succeeds Like success and
a vote for Wintergreen is vote for
Wintergreen. Mr.. Truman is not
doing so well. SO fewer and fewer
rally to his banner.
He also suffers from the wall be-
hind which he relaxes with his
kitchen cabinet. All Presidents suf-
fer from the difficulty of making
free contact with the stream OF
daily life. But Mr.. Truman espe-
cially and quickly made it clear
that his dear pals. Mr.. Snyder,
George Allen and Gen. Vaughan,
could do no wrong. Men approached
to join the official family say pri-
vately that they do not trust Mr..
Truman to form judgments inde-
pendent of his cronies, that they
do not want to be in the position
Of having George Allen hold a veto
over them.

acquaintance. because he is rural
and therefore suspicious Missourian
