Rise in Limit
0nDebt Asked
President Requests
$40 Billion Increase
BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star stan Writer

President Eisenhower today
asked Congress for a perma-
nent increase in the debt limit
of $40 billion and a temporary
increase Of SO billion to run
through June 80, 1860.
The request, if granted, would
establish the debt limit at 1888
billion for the next two years.
The request was made in
lindentical letters to Vice Presi-
dent Nixon and Speaker Ray
burn.
1.-THE Secretary of the Treas
ury and the Director of the
Bureau of the Budget have ad-
vised me that contemplated
revenues and expenditures for
fiscal 1859 make it necessary
to request an increase in the
debt limit" Mr.. Eisenhower
wrote.
The permanent debt limit at
present is $275 billion and this
was increased by an additional
IS billion, making a total of
$3.50 billion until June 80. 1859.
The administration antici-
pates a deficit running between
$40 and $l2 billion for the cur
rent fiscal year. The deficit for
the fiscal year that ended June
80 totaled $2.8 billion.
"Advices from the Secretary
of the Treasury and the Direc-
tor of the Bureau of the
Budget indicate clearly that
the increase of the regular limit
is needed because Of the deficit
outlook for the current year,
winch makes II evident that
the debt cannot be reduced to
the present S275 billion limita-
ton by June 30. 1852" Mr.. Ell
senhower said.
an addition, it is clear that
the requested temporary in
crease would provide needed
flexibility to allow more ef-
flcient management of the debt
as we'll as to provide for con-
tingencies which may cause
unforseeable demands upon the
Treasury"
Because of increased defense
expenditures it has been evident
for some time that the temp
orary IS billion increase in the
debt limit. voted earlier in the
year, would not be sufficient.

Cotton Prices Dip

NEW YORK, July % R.-
Cotton futures prices broke

ton.
Prices at noon were down
as much as $4.85 a bale from
the previous close on Friday
Trading was fast and furious
with the distant months under
heavy selling pressure.
For some time traders had
been confident that no new
farm bill would be passed this
year. The Senate action late
Friday upset these calculations
One effect of the bill would
be to encourage farmers to
plant more cotton in 1859 and
1860.

Bill Draft Ordered
When Mr.. Mcleod put the
idea to Representative Harris,
orders went out. The law
maker told MFR. Mcleod to
draft a bill. Mr.. Harris prime
concern was settling on a To-
cation. He was encouraged by
Mr.. McLeod'ss report that
business leaders had promised
to work for a public subscrip-
ton of bonds to finance the
arena.
Federal appropriations for
the stadium were blocked re-
'peatedly in past Congresses as
"giveaways."
Hundreds Of conferences be-

days and nights Of Mr.. Nc

course of which he set forth
the significance of the Ameri-

The significance of those

went far beyond the immediate
situation inside Lebanon.
Cites Other Events
The Secretary said the United
States indeed might not have
acted if Lebanon in isolation
appeared threatened. But. he
explained, events in that coun-
try had to be related with de-
velopments inside Iraq and a
conspiracy inside Jordan

Khrushchev Sees President
Scutt|ing New York Talks
Suggests
Moscow
As Site

MOSCOW. July 20 (Pl.-So-
Wet Premier Khrushchev ac-
.cused President Eisenhower to-
day Of trying TO scuttle an
East-West summit conference
proposed tor New York. He
offered as an alternative to
convene the talks in Moscow or
any other place in Europe suit
able to the four other powers.
By the four other powers he
meant the United States, Brit
ain, France and India.
He said the Soviet govern
ment would guarantee the
safety and security of the par
Elephants if they met in Mos
COW.
He was making this offer, he
said. because American diplo-
mats and the American press
had expressed concern about
the difficulty Of guaranteeing
security of the participants II
the meeting were held in New
York.
Cites De Gaulle Plan
Mr.. Khrushchev also said a
meeting in Europe-''in Gen.
eva, Vienna. Paris or any other
place"-would support pro-
posals of French Premier de
Gaulle.
Mr.. Khrushchev's proposal
and shortly worded charges
were contained in letters ad-
dressed to President Eisen-
hover. Gen. de Gaulle and
British Prime Minister Mac
milan.
The tone Of the replies
seemed to indicate MIR. Khru-
shchev was pulling sharply
away from the idea of a high
level U. N. Security Council
meeting.
Mr.. Khrushchev said it was
up to the five powers to settle
the Middle East problem. be-
cause the Security Council had
been discussing it and done
nothing.
Accusing President Eisen-
hover directly, he said, You
do not work for peace"
Additional Charges
He declared the Middle East
was becoming more like a
powder key" that the United
States troop buildup in Leb-
anon was still going on. that
Robert Murphy, President Eli
senhower's envoy, was inter-
fering in the domestic affairs
OF Lebanon, and that King
Hussein of Jordan "dares to
brandish arms and threaten a
crusade on Baghdad."
We continue to insist on a
withdrawal of the interven-
tionists troops from Lebanon
and Jordan" Mr.. Khrushchey
said.
AS for his proposal for a
five-power summit meeting, he
declared:
1T seems that an effort is
made to bury the previous idea
OF the conference. We cannot
accept this"
Mr.. Khrushchev went on:
Apparently you do not want
to take steps to stop aggression
in Jordan and Lebanon. This
cannot but evoke alarm among
the people. The public of the
world are anxious lest the states
responsible for peace in the
Middle East try to lull public
opinion and prepare quietly for
further aggression"
