Defenses to Push Debt

of the $2.7 billion will be spent
during the debt peak period.
They said the bulk Of the ad-
ditional expenditures will be
made later in the fiscal year,
when tax payments will be
flowing into the Treasury.
Because of this. timing the
Treasury expects to squeak
through the rest Of the fiscal
year with the debt below the
1898 billion ceiling. Unless
spending shoots up unexpect-
edly, the administration will be
spared the embarrassment of
asking Congress for a new in
crease in the ceiling.
Revised estimates Of the debt
have not yet been completed,
but preliminary calculations in
dicate the Treasury will have
substantially less leeway than
SO billion.
Pending congressional deci-
sions on postal-rate increases,
aid to education and other is
sues will be vital factors in the
size of the debt.
Counting the new defense
outlays, the budget deficit is
calculated officially at $5.3 bill

Chance of Soviet Coup in Berlin?

many misguided people you
have in the Omitted States.
They might advise your Pres
ident that the fear Of a nu-
clear war among Americans
is so strong that after a coup
and a showing of Red mus
cles, he might be forced by
the peace at any price ele-
ments to negotiate under the
wing Of the United Nations.
We are hearing rumbles to
that effect, even these days.
There may be no, logic in ,
this concept, but for a man
who has had his way for so
long and who has been able
to insult the United States
and its President as he did
Eisenhower, encouragement
from certain Americans still
Intellectually influential

necessary encouragement to
risk such a mad COUP" -
The Allied military COM
manderS have such a posi-
bility in mind and every,
conceivable measure is being
taken to prevent any un-s
toward action by the Rus
slams. But the intelligence
reports - particularly from
reliable German n refugees

military activity in the So

The East German Peo-
pies Army has become sur

was an elite corps which was
well taken care of in the
past. Now, because Of the
difficulties which the totally
inadequate Communist re-
gime has run into, even this
elite corps is lacking food
for the families of service
men.
But the Surliness of the
German military does not
explain or justify the recent
concentration of Russian
forces. If the Red dictator
and his generals were de-
termined to wage actual war
against the NATO over Ber-
lin the concentration of
forces, according to Ger

have to occur in different

Doubts on Soviet Space Flight

happening in both instances.
Why, then, did the Soviets
prefer to do it all in secrecy?
A United Press International
dispatch from Moscow says:
Western observers were not
permitted to witness Titov's
takeoff or landing"
The claim was made in one
Of the Moscow dispatches
that television cameras, pre-
sumably aboard the satellite,
were sending back pictures
Of Titov In flight. But these
pictures could, Of course,
have been made before the
ship left the ground.
Many similarities between
the alleged flights of Gagarin
and Titov were noted in Mos
COW press dispatches. The
first thought of both astro-
nauts was to send greetings
to the Central Committee Of
the Communist Party and to
Premier Khrushchev. The
messages were obviously pre-
pared ahead of time for prop-
aganda purposes.
Plans are being made al
ready to send Titov as a
goodwill ambassador" on
trips to other countries. The
flight itself was timed to COIN
eide with the meeting of the
Western Foreign Ministers at
Paris and has all the aspects
OF a propaganda stunt, clev-
erly conceived and executed.
There is no reason to ac-
cept as a scientific fact that
Titov made the flight -
though the space ship, with
recordings aboard for inter-
mittent radio transmission,
may well have been function
ing as it circled the earth.
The Russians do not hesi-
tate to lie or forge official
documents or to fake stories
Of episodes for propaganda
purposes. Despite the skep-
ticism that resulted from the
contradictions in the Ca
garin story. the Communists
have dared again to ignore
the press Of the free world
on the Titov demonstration.
Scientists would gladly have
come from Western coun-
tries to witness the ascent of
an astronaut in or descent
from an earth-girdling satel-
lite-if such an event really
took place In Russia.

New defense spending will
boost the public debt close to-
but not through-the $298 bill
lion legal ceiling, officials said
today.
When the Kennedy admin
istration obtained legislation
raising the Temporary" debt
ceiling from 1898 billion to 1898
billion, the Treasury figured
the debt would go no higher
than $295 billion this fiscal
year. The So billion excess was
a margin for errors and con-
tingencies.
Since Congress raised the
ceiling, President Kennedy has
annonced plans to increase de-
fense spending to $2.7 billion
during the fiscal year ending
next June 80. The Treasury is
revising its calculations.
Outstanding debt fluctuates
seasonally with the ups and
downs Of Government spend
ing and tax receipts. The debt
was expected to reach its sea-
sonal peak of $295 billion be-
tween mid-December and mid
January.
II much of the additional de-
Tense spending had been sched-
uled for that period, there
would have been a risk OF
preaching the ceiling.
