District School
Loans Opposed
By Treasury
Officials Object Both
To Using Federal
Funds, Floating Bonds
By JOHN McKELWAY

The Treasury Department
firmly opposes two bills which
would authorize the District
school system to borrow funds
for school construction.
This was revealed today dur
ing a Senate District subcom-
mittee hearing on the two bills.
Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon. chairman of the sub
committee, said he resented the
Treasury Departments stand
and accused the Eisenhower Ad-
ministration of "economizing
with kids"
The Treasury Departments
position was related in a letter
read by Senator Morse and
signed by w. Randall Burgis,
director of the Budget Bureau.
Mr.. Burgis said the Treasury
Department was opposed to both
bills because borrowing money
for school construction would
increase the obligations Of the
United States at time when
every effort must be made to
prevent increasing Federal OBJ
legations beyond those contem-
plated by the Presidents budget"
Home Rule Held Needed
Senator Morse said opposition
to the two plans for borrowing
showed the District is in need
of home rule. He said District
citizens get the run around" in
the field of human needs.
Senator Morse asked Would
aldermen last very long? .
Could they get by with this if, in
another city, they presented a
program designed to improve
school facilities?" He added:
1.-The people in the District are
victims of a coalition Of reac-
tionary forces. Responsibility
for situations existing in the
District, he added. should be
placed where it belongs-"on tbs
desk of the President"
Backing up Senator Morse
was Senator Clark. Democrat
of Pennsylvania. who charged
the executive branch Of the gov
eminent with taking negative
stands on situations in which
"they have no personal knowl-
edge"
Borrowing Program Sought
Both bills represent an at
tempt by scnool officials to get
away from the present method
of pay-as-you-go financing and
into q program of borrowing
used by most school systems
throughout the country. One bill
would authorize the Commits

What the presidential party

Once the Regulus was launched

80. The SO billion boost to 1921
billion which Congress author
lied last year expires June &c
unless the administration asks
FOR a renewal.
Aim for $27O Billion
The people who manage the
unwieldy national debt figure
hope to close out the 1857 fiscal
year at the end of this month
with the debt cut to about $27C
billion. More than $4.5 billion
will be paid off in cash later this
from tax collections
which are additionally high in
June.
That would provide a S. bill
lion leeway between the debt and
the debt ceiling. However, the
July-December period is always
one in which Government spend
ing outruns tax collections. The
question then is whether the
spending can be held to point
that won't wipe out that IS bill
lion and eat too deeply into the
cash reserves.
Congress placed its first limit
on the national debt in 1899. At
that time the ceiling was $45
only about one-sixth of
what it is today. In February.
l941. the threat of war to the
United States pushed the limit
up to SOS billion.
A year later with United States
in a world war, the limit
was lifted to $125 billion. 1t went
to $210 billion in 1913, to $3.50
billion in 1914 and to $500 bill
lion in 1945. In June, 1916. with
World War II ended, the ceiling
was dropped back to SITS billion
and it has stayed there ever
since.

Federal Judge Robert N. Wilkin
today set aside a District Bar
Association voice vote which re-
suited May 8. 1856, in changing
the bylaws to admit Negroes.
The judge ruled that the vote
violated bylaws Of the associa-
ton as well as Roberts Rules Of
Order, parliamentary authority.
He declared that rising vote
should have been taken and that
persons eligible TO vote should
have been separated from in
eligibles at the time.
The suit to invalidate the ac-
ton was brought by a group Of
bar association members against
the association.
Under the bylaws a two-thirds
vote Of the membership is re-
CURED for a change in them.
Judge Wilkin recalled testimony
OF one witness that the yeas"
and mays" seemed TO have the
same volume OF sound. He cited

1916. But in each of the past
three years Congress has ap-
proved temporary increases.
The temporary ceiling now is
$278 billion and the debt itself
is about $274.5 billion.
No one in the Treasury wants
to come right out and say an
other temporary increase won't
be necessary for the fiscal year
that starts July /. But one Off
cial said today:
If Congress can hold Govern
ment spending to within the lin
its of President Eisenhower
budget we should make it. If
Congress spends less than the
President asked, we will be Just
that much better off,"
President Is Hopeful
In his budget message to Con-
gress last January Mr.. Eisen-
hover said he hoped it would be
unnecessary to ask Congress
again for a temporary increase
in the legal limit.
Such hopeful administration
statements haven't always been
borne out. In June 1855, Secre-
tary of the Treasury Humphrey
told the House Ways and Means
Committee. 1T is our firm
intention to have any temporary
increase in the debt back to the
present limit of $275 billion by
the end of the tfiscaD year on
June 30, 1886"
The debt was below that figure
last June 80, but SO billion was
added to the ceiling to cover
spending in this fiscal year.
In 1854 the temporary ceiling
was boosted by Sc billion to 281
billions. That temporary increase
was continued again for the
fiscal year that ended last June

Baker Inquiry Reveals
100000 Dinner Fund
Union Officer
Got Money!,
Witness Says
BY L. EDGAR PRINA

The Senate Rackets Committee
today heard testimony that Max
IKralste elm, international vice
president of the Bakery Workers
Union, got 100000 from union
members and employers at
testimonial dinner given him
at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel last
year.
The story Of the Kralsteln din
ner was told by Joseph Tenczar,
who was removed from his posi-
ton as business agent for Bakers
Local 3 earlier this year. Tenczar
said that the employers supplied
most of the total $85,476 raised
for the testimonial. He explained
lit this way:
II certainly did think that the
employers would run into trouble
If they didn't cooperate"
Tenczar. who objected to the
pressure on employers, said that
he personally did not attempt to
force contributions from either
the bosses or union members. He
said that the bakers were asked
to chip in $l50 or So apiece and
then a drawing would be held to
select one out of every dozen or
so who would be given a ticket
for the dinner.
Kralstein Confirms Payments
Kralstein took the stand and
confirmed that he and las wife
got more than 100000 from the
Waldorf dinner. He then licked
of a long list of testimonial din
nerS for other labor officials who
also received expensive gifts in
Guiding automobiles, jewelry and
cash
He said that William Schnitz-
Ter. secretary-treasurer of the
AFL-CIO and former interna-
tional president of the Bakery
Workers, got a $4,000 Cadillac
and a gold watch and that Mrs.
Schnitzler received a chest of
Silverware and "a little ring"
worth 1896 at two such dinners.
In another development, the
matter of communism was in
jected into the labor corruption
investigation by the committee
for the first time.
Frank Quito, director of or
|ganization for Bakers Local No. 3
in New York, invoked the Fifth
Amendment when asked if he
had ever been a member of the
Communist party.
Quito, who said that he was
the idea man for the KralStein
testimonial dinner. told the COM
mittee that Il am not now a
member of the Communist
party" and added that he had
signed a non-Communist affi-
davit under the Taft Harley Act
in May, 1850, an0 had signed
others since that time.
Payments Broken Down
Committee Counsel Robert F.
Kennedy broke down the pay
ments to Kralstein as follows:
A check for S57 1000. a portrait
of the guest of honor costing
