The bill Is designed to cut
down abuses brought to light
by the Senate Rackets Investi-

Representative Teller, the
bills author, predicted it would
pass but told a reporter he was
not prepared to say whether
the Bosch amendment would be
adopted.
NAM Shows Interest
It's hard to calculate the
effect Of pressure, Mr.. Teller
said. He added he had received
a tremendous amount of mail
for the Bosch amendment from
the National Association of
Manufacturers, the Unite d
States Chamber of Commerce
and insurance groups,
Some congreSSmen said the
Bosch amendment would ruin
the bill. Representative Udall,
Democrat Of Arizona, said 1t
would make a radical change.
AFL-CIO President George
Meany yesterday sent kilograms
to House members urging uas-
sage Of the bill and rejection
OF efforts to exempt some plans,
Mr.. Bosch also sent letters I'd

his proposal would not exempt

He said the financial report

Approval Indicated

The three-hour consideration
Of the bill yesterday left no
doubt that the new debt CELL
ing bill would be overwhelm-
ingly approved solely as a mat
ter Of current necessity. The
formal vote was put on be-
cause Of a prior agreement that
no roll calls on legislation
would be held until today.
Congress, in the opinion of
several members who spoke
yesterday, must share in the
blame for the huge debt.
Mr.. Mills said that unless the
debt problem is handled more
realistically than by periodic
lifting of the statutory limit
the national economy is in for
still more serious trouble. He
said an inflationary situation
could arise that would send
prices Skyrocketing to heights
never before seen in peacetime.

NO NEED TO WORRY-The
nearly half million employees in
the Governments independent
agencies need have no fear that
they will have to miss any pay
days as a result Of President
Eisenhower's veto Of the 1859
Independent Ofhces bill. Your
agencies, as a result Of a spe-
cial resolution by Congress,
already have funds on hand for
the rest of August ard Congress
is certain to approve another
appropriation bill acceptable to
the President by the end Of
that time.
VETOED-In another veto
action President Eisenhower
has vetoed the bill that would
have given per diem (blue

average pay raises of 80 cents
an hour.
The bill would have permit

blue collar workers to be set
on the basis of the much higher
prevailing industry wage rate
of Boston. The veto dashes
the hopes Of other Navy blue
collar workers in low wage
areas, such as those in Dahl
gren and Quantico. Va, that
similar legislation could be
enacted for their benefit. For
example, employees in these in
stallations have wanted their
pay fixed on the Washington

The administrations request
10 increase the statutory debt

In the House today for ex-
pected unanimous passage. but
also with practically unanimous
reluctance and widesprea d
warnings.
I'VE must pay the piper

Can See No Drop
In a gloomy floor discussion
late yesterday, Mr.. Mills told
his colleagues he could foresee
no drop in the national debt
below a S285 billion ceiling
within the next three or four
years. The debt exceeded S276
billion at the start Of the new
fiscal year on July /. Esti-
mates Of the probable budget

as $l2 billion.

said Representative Reed Of
New York. ranking Republican
on the Ways and Means Com
mittee. He recalled that when
he came to Congress in 1919
the national debt was only $40
billion. He attributed the huge
increases in recent years not
only to cold war defense needs
but also to what he criticized
as excessive domestic spending
and many unnecessary foreign
aid OUTLAWS.

Continuance Of Nuclear Tests
 Termed Helpful

PARIS, RAGen. Lauris Nor stad said Thursday that allied ex- perts consider continuance of nuclear weapon tests helpful in extending "the family of weap- ons" and desirable so these weapons can be cleaned up.
 Commenting on RusSia's an- nouncement it was suspending nuclear tests, NATO's supreme commander told a news con- ference the Western allies con- sider smaller and cleaner weap- ons-those which produce less radioactive fallout-give them more military flexibility.
 The American General pointed out that the Soviet promise to stop tests came immediately fol- lowing a period of concentrated testing. 1t follows, he said, that the Russians were reasonably well caught up with their test ing.
 Norstad remarked that the Russians had said nothing about stopping production of nuclear weapons, nor suggested any es- abolished means for checking whether their declaration was carried out

Tight-Rope Walker Lands In Hospital After Fall Of Only IS Feet

NEW YORK, R - A tight rope walker performing without a safety net spun off a slanting wire and plunged 18 feet to the floor of Madison Square Garden Wednesday night at the opening of the Ringing Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus.
 The accident-during the next to-last act of a gala multi display program-cut deeply into the carnival mood of the 10000 spec tators.
 The performer, Harold Alzana, 39, suffered broken wrist, a broken ankle and a mild con- cussion. He was taken to St. Clare's Hospital, where his con- dition was listed as satisfactory.
 Alzana had completed nerve frazzling performance along a horizontal wire about 45 feet from the carpeted garden floor and was descending another wire slung at a 45-degree angle when he fell. He had teetered up to his high perch along the same wire amid the oohs and aahs of the crowd.
