Royburn Eats
Steak, Appears

DALLAS, Tex, Oct. 7 (AP)
House Speaker Rayburn, in
curably stricken with cancer,
sat on the side of his bed today
and ate a steak lunch he had
requested.
A medical bulletin said the
79-year-old Mr.. Rayburn spent
a quiet day, but that his condi-
ton was still serious.
DR.. Ralph Tompsett said the
Speaker seems more alert and
cheerful"
The doctor indicated Mr..
Rayburn will not return to his
Bonham CTex0, home in the
near future.
His return, DR.. Tompsett
said, will depend on whether
he is able to take drugs which
might arrest the cancers
spread.
DR.. Tompsett explained that
all the drugs under considera-
ton have side effects which
have to be considered before
they can be given.
IF he gets the treatment we
are anticipating" the doctor
said, "he will stay here"
Members of Mr.. Rayburn's
family, he said, have agreed
this is the best plan.

Four West Ber|iners

BERLIN, oct. Z (AP) COM
munist police captured four
West Berliners ili two border
incidents today. Three were
released after 10 hours de.
tention. -
The fourth man was shot
and wounded by a Red border
guard before being taken away,

lice said.
The West Berlin officers
said both incidents occurred
on the eastern side Of the Dor
der between the French sector
Of West Berlin and Communist
East German territory.
They said the four were
seized by the Communists be-
cause they went Up. to a barbed
wire fence. along the border.
The fence is not directly on the
border and at some points Is
as much as 40 yards on the
eastern side. West Berlin po-
lice said this fact, apparently
is not known by many West
Berliners.
Forced Through Fence
The three men, later released,
were forced at gunpoint to
crawl through the wire.
About 10 hours later they re-
ported to a precinct station in
Wedding, a borough in the
French sector.
They told the police they had
been taken by Red guards to
the town Of Oranienburg, about
20 miles north of Berlin. There
they were questioned for several
hours.
Eventually they were taken
by car to East Berlin and put
on the elevated train at the
FriedrichstrasSe station. This
is the only route still operating
from East Berlin to the West
ern sectors.
Wounded in Arm
Police gave these accounts
Of the incidents:
A man in his mid-50s went
up to the Communist barrier
at Luebars and exchanged
words with the Communist
guards. He apparently angered
the guards because one OF
them fired a submachine gun,
injuring the West Berliner In
an arm.
Then the man was led away
In handouts. At this point the
wire barrier is about 20 yards
from the actual border, so the
man was on East German ter
ritory at the time.
In the second incident pass
ersby at Fronhau saw three
men being forced at gunpoint
to crawl through the wire into
East Germany. Nobody in the
West saw what led to their ar
rest by the frontier guards:
The incidents came as East

only $6.3 million worth can be

The $26.5 million balance

Last week the budget office
said the Districts spending

cut the actual budget proposal
to $26l.5 million.
The city would have to get

difference in the two figures
is that actual spending on some

Treasury Asks
New Loans Of
SIG Billion.
By the Associated Press

The Treasury is going to
borrow in a big way-$16 billion
to help finance this years
expected budget deficit of at
least 81 billion.
In the most massive borrow
ing since 1859, the Treasury
will dangle bait that it expects
almost all interested sectors of
the money market will find
attractive.
Next week, the department
will refinance $12.5 billion OF
old debts and borrow $3.5 bill
lion in new cash. The new
cash will be raised through an
auction next Thursday of tax
anticipation bills maturing next
March.
Lenders to Fix Rates
Lenders will fix the interest
rate on these by bidding for
them at q discount.
Owners Of $12.5 billion Of old
securities maturing between
August / and October / will
be able to exchange them foI
any Of three new issues:
A SA per cent note maturing
in November, 1862; a 33z per
cent note coming due in Au-
gust, 1864, and a bond matur-
ing in May, 1868. The bond will
be offered at a discount to yield
nearly 4 per cent.
Subscription books for the
exchange will be open next
Monday through Wednesday.
Interest Attractive
In announcing the plan yes
terday, Undersecretary Robert
v. RooSa described the interest
rates as attractive. He said a
survey had indicated the new
issue should appeal to, just
about every category of lenders
interested in Government Sc
curities.
Mr.. Roosa said there was in
sufficient interest to warrant
offering a longer term bond.
He said there will be addi-
tional borrowing probably in
early October, if not sooner,
Mr.. Roosa said the prospective
