Congressional
Viewpoint
San. John Marshall Butler

Within the next several days,
the question of increasing the ma
tional debt limit will again be con-
sidered by the Congress. Last
week, the Senate Committee on
Finance approved, in my opinion,
very practical and desirable pro-
posal which would raise the debt
limit by SIS billion for period of
one year.
The national debt now stands at
$274.1 billion, and the present legal
limit is $275 billion. approximate
ly $5.8 billion is available in the
Treasury, but it is expected that
federal expenditures, by next Jan
uary, will exceed the existing limit
by $2,l billion.
Thus, it is obvious that some
action with respect to the debt
limit is warranted. However, in the
interest of sound and effective
fiscal policies and operations, | am
opposed to any move which would
permanently permit unfettered
governmental spending. The fact
that a temporary increase has
been recommended by the Commit
tee is encouraging, and the pro-
priety of the move at this time, is
demonstrated by the bipartisan
concurrence of Senator Millikin
and Senator Byrd-two of the best
informed and most astute MEM
bers of the Congress on financial
and budgetary matters.
In my own Independent studies
of this very important issue, |
have developed several points
which are truly significant. For
example, the cost of World War l,
World War II and the Korean War,
to the American taxpayers eX-
ccedcd $50 billion-approximate-
ly co., Of the present national
debt.
Also, it is amazing to learn that
many World War loans-about
$l7 billion-are still outstanding.
Armenia, Austria, Belgium, Es-
tonia, Czechoslovakia, Great Bri-
tain, France, Hungary, Italy, Lat
via, Lithuania, Poland, Rumana,
Russia and Yugoslavia are among
the delinquent nations. Finland is
the only country which has been
making payments on her debt.
Many factors, of course, ION.
pose our national debt, and as
emphasized in recent newsletter,
foreign aid appropriations should
be fully reviewed as a means of re-
ducing the burden of the taxpayers.
Domestically, the Administration
and the Congress have effected
many economies, while simultane-
ously improving the efficiency of

Unwanted Merchandise
Nv Gpol.rp Peck


One of the petty annoyances that
tends to make life not quite so
pleasant is the flood Of unsolicited,
umwanted merchandise that the
mailman brings. This is one case
where the Post Office cannot be
blamed it simply performs its
duty-thc real culprits are the
charitable organizations genuine
or alleged that ship the unre-
questcd, mwanted lead pencils,
pens, handkerchiefs, good-luck
charms, or what have you.
For the most part these wares
are Of inferior quality. The several
gross of lead pencils | have re-
ccived over the years have been
practically useless; the drawer full
of ball-point pens for most of
which | have paid one buck each,
could have been purchased from
any sclf-rcspccting merchant for
two bits apiece, etc, etc,
One is led to wonder if these
organizations are perhaps render
ing service to humanity in keeping
with the junk they are foisting
upon a generous American public.
1t is difficult for the average re-
cipient of these unsolicited wares
to differeutiate between the worthy
organizations and the racketcers.
There are many otherwise deserv-
ing organizations that use this de-
pIorable method of raising funds.
Because of what little success they
attain racketeers are attracted to

What has led me to write about
this charity racket at this particu-
lar time is an editorial that ap-
peared in the June 18th issue of
the Arlington (TeXas) Record.
Editor George w. Hawkes. has
given the matter some constructive
thought. From here on | quote
editors Hawkes.:
A GROWING RACKET
Housewives, business and pro-
fessional people, and the public
generally are constantly receiving
merchandise in the mails that they
didn't order and don't want.
Just this week we were the re-
cipicnt of one of the most unholy-
looking neckties you ever saw
from national veterans organi-
cation. Not only was it inferior in
quality to the usual 81 ties we
drapc around our nccks, but it
wasn't the color nor the pattern
we would be caught dead in"

 It has a strong knifelike nook that fits through the crack of a door or drawer, fastening into the latch plate. The lock itself slides along notched blade until snug against the door, When the key is turned and removed the door can't be opened. It works on a filing cabinet, too. Retails under $3.

REINDEER OVER-RUN TINY ST. MATTHEW ISLAND

ANCHORAGE - Reindeer are to tiny St. Matthem Island what rabbits are to Australia.
 Pests!
 That's the opinion of Dr. Robert Rausch, who with his wife lived five weeks of a Robinson Crusoe like existence on the uninhabited island last summer.
 According to Dr. Rausch the 30 reindeer originally planted on the island in 1942 by the coast guard as reserve food supply have in- creased to between 500 and 600.
 They're all over the island, the scientist revealed, and they're eating up all the vegetation. In fact, if the reindeer aren't re- moved in a few years, St. Mat thew will be barren, lifeless Arctic island.
 Cause of this unbalance in na- ture on the island is the fact that there exists on St. Matthew no creatures capable of consuming reindeer in quantity.
