claim he had $1,000 In assets.
you could until ! claimed the
$500" Mr.. Humphrey replied.
Senator Byrd said he also
planned to ask Mr.. Humphrey
more about the tax burden, the
Federal debt and contingent
liabilities. The Secretary then
faces critical questioning from
Senator Kerr. Democrat of Okla
homa, on his claims that the adj
ministration's m onetary and
fiscal policies have brought the
country unparalleled prosperity.
Senator Byrd yesterday chal-
lenged Mr.. Humphreys claim
that the Eisenhower administra-
ton has reduced the Federal
debt and cut expenditures.
Instead of a reduction. Senator
Byrd said. the Federal debt has
increased SO billion since the
Eisenhower administration took
Office in 1858. Expenditures, dol
lar-wise, the Senator said, are
at a record peacetime level.
Agree on Possible Deficit
Senator Byrd noted that Sec
rotary Humphrey agreed with
his statement that If the country
dropped to the prosperity level
Of only two years ago there
would be a $12 billion deficit
rather than a Federal surplus.
IF we're on such thin ice"
the Senator added. that's get
ting things pretty close. We can't
afford even little recession"
Meanwhile, Chairman Bridges
of the Senate Republican Policy
Committee called for BIZ
partisan approach to the study
of fiscal problems. The New
Hampshire Republican said he
was disturbed "by the apparent
attempt on the part of some to
try to develop partisan issues"
He made the statement after

She had just arrived at work

"Are they married." was her
first question.
This reporter told Mrs. Will
liams that Huw and Christina
had told police they had been
married in West Virginia.
Good. Fine" said Mrs. Will
liams.
She was told they were being
held for speeding in default of
the SIS collateral. Twill you
send him the money or go to
Pennsylvania" she was asked.
I'll do something" Mrs. Will
liams said firmly as she hung up
the phone.
Mrs. williams and her son
are natives Of Wales; Mrs. Will
liams is a widow. Both were
naturalized last year. which was
as soon as they could be, Mrs.
Williams said.
She said her brother. Jack
Evans, chief of Asiatic Petro-
leum. branch Of the Shell Oil
Co. in New York, arranged for
her son and herself to be en-
ployed at the Capitol.
She referred questions about
their appointments to the Senate
sergeant at arms office. The
Star was told that both Mrs.
Williams and her son were Sen
ate employees but neither was a
civil service employee. Huw's
appointment was terminated two
days ago when he did not return
from his annual leave.
The young couple dropped out

In other testimony Mr.. Hum
Iphrey:
/. Said the rise in interest
rates would continue las long
as we have general prosperity
and people want more money
and credit than are available"
2. Said he expects some in
crease in public debt at the
State and local level but hopes
there will be no further increase
in the Federal debt.
3. Doubted the wisdom of any
arbitrary limitation on consumer
credit and said he would trust
the good judgment of the Amer
lean people"
4. Testified that he took re-
sponsibility for the Treasury's
recent effort to sen a 81 billion
program refunding bond issue
on q five-year basis and was not
surprised that 81 billion worth
of the bonds was not taken up.
He said selling bonds was not
much different from selling
clothes and that you can't sell
fur-lined underwear in July
a reference to what he said was
a lack of demand for long-term
issues.
Senator Byrd, in winding up
his opening round of questioning
of the Secretary. summarized
what he described as "the dan
gers Of our fiscal situation" and
asked Mr.. Humphrey to consider
the four points he made before
giving a reply at a later hear
ing.
Cites Lack Of Reserves
One Of the points Senator
Byrd made was that the Govern
ment had no reserves to meet
even a slight business recession.
He said that if the country re-
turns to the national income of
1855. a loss in tax revenue of
$l3 billion will result, and added:
"A $13 billion loss in revenue
will mean a deficit of So bill
lion, which, should it occur, will
shake the financial foundation
of this country to a dangerous
degree"
The Senator said most serious
consequences will result" If in
fiation continues and the dollar,
now worth 49.8 cents as COM
pared to 1910. is further debased.
Senator Byrd also made the
point that the country has
reached maximum taxation and
further increases in taxes
would not only result in great
hardship and injury to the COM
petitive enterprise system but
would. in some clasSifications, at
least, result in diminishing re-
turns"
Debt Increase "UnsOund"
The Senator also said that any
increase in the Federal debt
limit Of $275 billion would be
dangerous and finally un-
sound" He doubted that Con-
gress would give authority for
any further increase in the debt
limit.
In concluding his questioning.
Senator Byrd said he was turn
ing the Secretary over to the
tender mercy" of Senator Kerr.
Democrat of Oklahoma.
Senator Kerr. an outspoken
critic Of the administrators
fiscal policies. began by refer
ring to Mr.. Humphreys state
ment at the opening Of the hear
ings on Tuesday as your speech
that was prepared by the Re-
publican National Committee.
Secretary Humphrey said he
hoped that Senator Kerr would
give credit to where credit is
due"
Il will give credit and
won't charge you any interest"
Senator Kerr replied. At that
point the hearing recessed be-
cause of the civil rights battle
on the Senate floor.
Secretary Humphrey will re-
turn for further questioning at
10 am. tomorrow.
Senator Byrd gave Mr.. Hum

Pair Wished to Wed
Huw. who worked in the SEN
ate Document Folding Room and
attended classes at the Page
School, had been the inseparable
companion of the pretty Swedish
girl. They had often spoken of
their love and their wish to
marry.
But their disappearance came
as a complete surprise to the
Wennerstroms. Mrs. Wenner-
strom said she had discussed
their wish to marry with the
two young people but had I'M
derstood that they were willing
to wait until Christina had COM
pleted her education.
The Wennerstroms were asleep
when Christina slipped out of
the house to meet Huw early
June 2 and they vanished in Mrs.
Williams 1851 black converti-
BILE. They were driving this car
when the troopers picked them
up for doing IS miles an hour
in a so mile zone.
Christina left a note in Eng
lish for her parents in which she
said she wanted to stay in the
United States and marry Huw.
She said she would write to her
family after they arrived in
Sweden. Col. Wennerstrom went
on to his homeland but Mrs.
Wennerstrom remained here.
Mrs. Williams told reporters
after the disappearance that, Il
knew those kids were in love
with one another. The few times
I've seen them together recently
breaks my heart. They knew
they were meant for each other. :"
Status at Issue
Christmas status now becomes
a legal question. Her father
said before he left that without
her passport. his daughter was
in the United States illegally.
He predicted then that immigra-
ton authorities would force her
to leave the country.
Immigration officials said then
that If the marriage was deter
mined to be illegal because Of
the girls age she probably could
oe forced to return to Sweden.
1t would depend on the jurisdic-
ton and the courts involved. If
the marriage is legal, the Justice
Department probably could not
force her to return.
Charles Spruks, assistant chief
of Protocol at the State Depart
ment. said the girl drew her Dip
lomatic immunity from her ia
ther.
THE father is in Sweden" Mr..
Spruks commented. therefore, I
would say there was no more Inn
munity for the daughter. Nor
mally. We would give such a per-
son time to depart but I don't
know what is going to happen.
1t may depend on whether the
marriage was a legal one"
The immigration and Natural
ization Service said it would look
into the facts of the case before
deciding on action.
The mere fact Of a marriage
does not alter Christmas status
In this country" the spokesman
said. 1T merely entities her to
non-quota status. She would
still have to apply for citizenship
and permission to remain here /"
At Montoursville, Sergt. Foulk-
rdo said the young couple
readily admitted who they were
but were not fully questioned
by police pending results of the
phone calls to Washington.

At this season Of the year our
thinking turns toward one Of the
greatest facts of history the resur-
rection Of Jesus Of Nazareth In the
resurrection Of Jesus a power was
released or exerted which is beyond
human understanding
However. as We think Of the
resurrection. we often miss a most
significant meaning Of it. Our think
ing is either concerned with the his
torical fact of the resurrection or
its future significance in our own
resurrection. Both of these aspects
of the resurrection are true and are
very important But it overlooks
a most important meaning of the
resurrection: the resurrection has
present significance.
It is a present reality and is an
important factor in life for today
For in this great event in history.
there was released a power that is
available to every believer in Jesus
Christ This power is a power that
