National Debt Likely,
To Top Le'g)aI'Limit
OF S275 Billion in 81
By the Associated Press

Under the pressure of defense
spending, the national debt next
year may reach. If not pass. the
present legal limit of $275 billion.
Congress probably will be asked to
increase the ceiling.
BY the end of this month the
national debt will stand at some
where around $3.50 billion. If Off
lcial estimates on spending and tax
receipts are about right, it will
mount to 1852 billion by next
June.
Six months Of peak deficits are
foreseen after that, bringing the
prospect that the debt may reach
or top $275 billion.
The top ceiling on the debt dur
ing World War II was $500 billion
and the actual debt reached $279
billion. The ceiling was cut back
by $25 billion in 1916.
Big Factor in Initiation.
The size Of the national debt
affects everybody. New Govern
ment borrowing tends to fan in
fiation: it can be a major factor
in imitation. Big Government
spending bids up prices.
Interest payments on loans will
take about 10 cents out of every
tax dollar put up this year-al-
most $6 billion.
An increase of 81 billion in the
past seven months amounts to a
boost of $21 for each man, woman
and child in the Nation. At $275
billion the debt would be $1.773
for each person.
If Secretary Snyder asks for an
increase in the legal limit, he may
suggest figure of $500 billion.
During the fiscal year ending
last June 80, the Government took
in $3.50 billion more than it
spent to ring up the second big
gest surplus in history. There
have been 76 surplus years, IS
deficit years in the Nations his

happy period for the Treasury.

plus in cash to meet booming de-

The picture has changed alb
ruptly and completely. In'the five
months since June, the Govern
ment plunged s6,345 900 900 in the

cast is a SIS billion deficit by
next June.
Spending this fiscal year is ex-
pected to reach about $40 billion
compared with $44, ,633, ,O00, 900 last
year.
The unofficial word is that
spending may total $50 billion
next year, although some say S85
billion would be closer. Next
years deficit is estimated al
roughly SIS billion.

|DiSal|e Asks Repeal
Or Modification Of
; Price Amendments
By Froncis P. DouoIos

Price Stabilizer Michael v. Di-
Sale today asked Congress to re-
peal or modify the three major
amendments which Congress
tackled on to the Economic Con-
trolls Act last summer.
He told the Senate House De-
fense Production Committee it
was very hard to hold the line"
on prices as the result of the
amendments.
The chief one is the so-called
Capehart amendment providing
that manufacturers, professors
and sellers of services must be
given higher ceiling prices to re-
fleet increased costs up to. July 26.
Effects Are Debated.
Senator Capef1art, Republican,
of Indiana and Mrs. Disable en-
gagged in a debate on the effects
of this amendment.
The Senator said it was the in
tention of the law to restrain
price increases over the July 26
level.
Mr.. Disable replied that "you
can't put man out of business
lif his costs increase after July 26''
by denying price increases.
The other two amendments of
which Mr.. Disable asked modifica-
ltiOn or repeal are:
The Herlong amendment which
provides that wholesalers and re-
tailers may not be denied the
mark-ups which were customary
in the month before the start of
| the Korean war. 1t has required
OPS to permit number of price
increases recently to reflect in
creaSeS in excise taxes.
The Butler-Hop amendment
which prohibits any quota restric-
tions on the slaughter of livestock.
Tax Rise Called Inflationary.
The joint committees hearing
today was called by Senator May
bank, Democrat, of South Carolis-
ma, committee chairman, to in
quire into the operations of the
amended defense production act.
Senator Maybank said the COM
mittee wants the information so
it will be prepared to recommend
any necessary changes when Con-
gress meets again in January.
Meanwhile. Senator Aiken, Re
publican. Vermont said the new
tax increase law is working in
reverse by breeding imitation in

U.S.. Air|ift Speeds
Reconditioning Of
Cuban Nickel Plant

An airlift is speeding the re-
conditioning of a Government
owned nickel plant in Cuba, and
a Navy helicopter is being used
to make a geological survey of the
mineral deposits OF the area.
This was disclosed today in an
announcement by Chairman Lyn-
don johnson of the Senate Armed
Service Preparedness Committee.
He said the nickel shortage is
lone of the most severe" the sub
committee had encountered in it's
study of raw materials. He ex-
pressed hope the steps to hasten
production by the Nicaro nickel
plant in Cuba would "at least put
a dent in the worldwide monop-
oily" of the International Nickel
Co. of Canada.
Fly Out of Norfolk.
The airlift was described in a
letter to Senator johnson from
Chairman John D. Small of the
Munitions. Board. Mr.. Small
wrote that an airlift between Nor
folk. Va. and a Navy installation
in the immediate vicinity of the
Nicaro plant is operating to trans
port construction materials for
the plant. thus greatly reducing
the time element involved in the
three to five weeks required for
coastwise shipping"
The Nicaro plant was built for
the Government at a cost of S32I
million in 1912 and 1943. but has
been idle since 1916 and allowed
to deteriorate. One of the largest
producing nickel plants in the
world. it has a capacity of about
10000 tons Of nickel a year.
Reluctant to Expand.
The subcommittee said one rea-
son for the nickel shortage was
the conservative approach taken
by International Nickel toward
expansion of its facilities. 1t

lies" it has found

Taft was born encased in vel

an iron collar around the necks
OF millions Of Americans" the let
ter read. He is the relentless
albeit witless. tool of the oppres-
sors of labor.
You should refuse him entry
to mines where Americans toll.
The underground workings are
necessarily confined, and the air
therein is easily contaminated
The eftluvia Of the oppressor is
ever disagreeable and could en-
rage the men to a point of evacu-
alton OF the mine. This we would
both deplore."
Senator Taft drew a laugh wher
at one point he asked Chairman
Gillette whether President Tru-
man is now candidate. "in his
own mind" for reelection next
year.
The question was prompted by
one Senator Gillette had put to
Senator Taft, as to whether he
was candidate for reelection to
the Senate ''in his own mind
when he began making weekly
radio broadcasts through Ohio
stations l8 months before the Ohio
elections.
Senator Taft said there was no
doubt he had decided to run. He
said he began the radio broad
casts early because his opponents
had openly announced their in
tentions that early to purge him.
Conservative Democrats.
In reply to questions by Senator
Hennings, Democrat of Missouri
Senator Taft said he thought "a
lot of conservative Democrats in
Ohio were for me on the issues.
Il think that these Democrats
also resented the fact that the
labor bosses were running the
campaign against me and that
therefore these Democrats gave
most Of their efforts in support Of
their own local candidates"
Senator Hennings said: These
Ohio Democrats resented what
they thought was usurpation?"
II think So" replied Senator
Taft, they had Michigan before
them as an object lesson where
the labor leaders took over the
Democratic Party"
In answer to questions by Sena-
tor Monroney of Oklahoma, an
other Democratic member Of the
committee, Senator Taft said the
labor leaders really made more Of
an issue against him on foreign
policy and his voting record in
Congress than they did on the
Taft-Hartley law on which, he
said. they gave up," as the cam
paign went on.
Senator Monroney asked Sena.
tor Taft if Republicans from othel
States had come into Ohio tt
speak for him.
"A few" said Taft. II didn't
encourage it. Perhaps three OF
four came in.

that Senator Taft had referred to

said that this really was carpet
bagging in the sense of the way
he used the term.
I don't think it is bad. Ger
tainly not as bad as the commit
tee thought it was in Maryland.
There is nothing immoral in it
unless it is pressed to very great
extent as it was done by the labor
unions and Democratic admins
tration leaders in Ohio. It is a
question Of degree. I wouldn't
have resented (AFL) President
Green coming into Ohio and max
ing speech to his followers"
Senator Hennings wanted to
know if money sent into Ohio
from outside was also carpet
bagging.
Yes. that was carpetbag money" I"
said Senator Taft. He mentioned
"a letter he had received from an
employer in another State who
said that since the labor unions
were asking his 100 employees to
contribute 50 each to be used
against Taft, he himself was
sending a check for 5000 to Offset
their contribution.
Il doubt if his employees ever
sent that amount into Ohio, how
ever" commented Senator Taft.
At the outset Senator Taft
pointed out that his election last

431 900 votes is not being con-
