The United States apparently

The air cover precaution ap-
parently was taken only re-

Threat 10 Limit
DebtCeiIing
Seeks Expense Curb
As Dillon Tries
To B0r Reduction
BY LEE M. COIN
star staff writer

Republicans threatened to-
day to hold down the Federal
debt ceiling in q maneuver to
force the administration to re-
duce Government spending.
Treasury Secretary Dillon
told the House Ways and
Means Committee that q cell
ing Of $500 billion Is the crock
bottom" requirement If the
Government Is to pay its bills.
But the Republican Repre-
sentatives Byrnes of Wiscon-
sin and Curtis Of Missouri said
the administration could get
along with q lower debt limit
by cutting expenditures.
Mr.. Byrnes. the ranking
minority member Of the COM
mittee, indicated that he may
propose to keep the ceiling at
$305 billion through May, then
allow a higher limit to take
care Of seasonal needs in June.
Mr.. Curtis said q ceiling Of
1907 billion might force the
administration to reduce ex-
penditures by 81 billion.
Scared" by Speech
Straying from the testimony
on the debt ceiling, Mr.. Byrnes
said President Kennedy had
scared" him in q speech Mon
day by predicting a recession
in the mot too distant future"
If Congress refuses to cut taxes
promptly.
Mr.. Dillon replied that the
administration does not fore
see any recession in 1858"
He warned, however. that
prospects for q recession In
1864 would be greater If we did
not pass the tax bill"
He said the Presidents re-
marks about o recession were
made in the context Of the
historical record, which shows
that recessions occur periodi-
cally. He noted that the cur
rent economic recovery Is
entering its 25th month. and
that the last recovery expired
after Is months.
Could Cushion slump
Even IL taxes are cut, Mr..
Dillon conceded, there may be
q recession In 1864. But, he
continued, tax cuts would
cushion the downturn.
Calling the economic situa-
ton reasonably good" Mr..
Dillon said: "T don't think
anyone is afraid of a recess
sion right around the corner"
Mfr. Dillon also was ques-
toned about the Presidents re-
marks Monday that he would
be willing to abandon his pro-
posals for revenue raising tax
reforms. II that were neces-
sary to assure enactment of
tax cuts this year.
Mr.. Dillon said the admin
istration still wants "substan-
tial" tax reforms. but said tax
cuts have top priority.
There are indications that
the administration will settle
for token reforms, letting its
most controversial proposals
slide.
Under existing law. the debt
ceiling is scheduled for decline
from $308 billion to sos bill

tor Kermit Gordon testified

Thus he went a step beyond

He seemed to be making an
other overture 10 Peking, with
which Moscow is locked in an
theological dispute over how TO
advance the cause Of commu-
nism in the world.
Tin Washington State De-
partment Press Officer Lin
coin White declined comment
on the Khrushchev speech,
though he made clear that
news accounts Of what the So
Wet Premier was saying had
been put under immediate
study here. He also declined

The Premier also took a firm
stand on the question of nu-
clear disarmament. He declared
the Soviet Union will never 90
beyond its offer of two or three
on-site inspections a year UNI
der q treaty TO ban nuclear
testing.
Mr.. Khrushchev accused the
United States Of dragging out
negotiations at Geneva, then
mentioned the two TO three M
spections annually which the
United States considers far too
few.
/ Nothing else can be ex-
pected from u.s." he said.
The Soviet government Is
ready to sign at any time a
treaty on general and complete
disarmament which would BAN
ish the specter Of rocket-nu-
clear war from our planet" the
Tass news agency quoted him
as saying.
Voices Spy Fear
But he said there are some
who want a test ban agree
ment ito give NATO an oppor-
tunity to spy In our country"
Mr.. Khrushchev added:
THE United States is looking
for a means Of delaying decis-
ion on the ending Of nuclear
weapons tests OF avoid Il al
together. The resumption OF
underground nuclear tests by
the United States on the eve of
the new round of negotiations
Is fresh evidence OF this. The
American Government bears
the entire responsibility for the
consequences of its actions
which are designed 10 stimulate
the nuclear arms race all the

He said a nonaggression pact
between the nations OF the
Warsaw Pact (the Communist
bloc) and the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization countries
would not upset the balance
Of forces. but would be a seri-
Gus moral victory for the peo-

The District Commissioners
today decided to hold up on
submitting a proposed bill to
modify the Supreme Courts
controversial Mallory rule.
They reached this decision at
a special board meeting after
Milton Norman. principal as

said it is his understanding that
both the Justice Department
and the United States at

proposed changes to the NAL

In 1857, the Supreme Court

COURT HEARS ARGUMENTS
Are School Prayers Legal?
BY DANA BULLEN
star staff Writer

The supreme Court today
was urged to rule out use of
the Bible and Lords Prayer in
public school opening exercises
as a breach in the wall between
church and state.
The plea came as the high
court opened hearings on cases
Hugo Block. Nov II. Still Fights for
Rights. Page A
from Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania in which lower courts
have split on the constitu-
tionality Of such practices.
The first lawyer to address
the justices. Leonard j. Kerpel-
man OF Baltimore, was met by
a crossfire Of pointed questions
by Justice Stewart and other
members Of the court.
Justice Stewart indicated
concern that hating public
school religious exercises to suit
a minority might wind UP as
an impairment of the major
ity's right to free exercise Of
religion.
Differ on Interpretation
Mr.. Kerpelman, representing
a Baltimore student who con-
tested the practice there,
launched his argument on the
basis that the Constitution
erects a high and impregnable
wall Of separation" between
church and state.
Justice Stewart Immediately
countered with a statement /
that he. too. had read the First !
Amendment and had failed to
find this type Of language in
cluded in 1t.
The First Amendment bars |
Government establishment Of
religion or impairment of the
exercise Of religion. The stu
dent contesting the Baltimore
practices is an atheist.
Bible Reading Upheld
In the Maryland case. the !
highest State court upheld, AS, !
the constitutionality Of the |
Baltimore practice of starting
the public school day with a
reading from the Bible, the
Lords Prayer or both.
Mrs. Madalyn Murray and
her son william, Is. who
brought the case to the high
court, were onlookers today as
lawyers presented their srgu-
ments to the nine justices.
During the noon recess, Mrs.
Murray said that although she
has met strong opposition to
her views. it is gratifying" to
see the close attention that the |
Nations highest tribunal was
attaching to the prayer case.
Mr.. Kerpelman said the
Murrays' main position was
that they did not want to have ,
ANY dogmas or spiritual mat
tiers thrust upon the children
who attend the Cpublic) I
schools"
Violation Alleged
He said the Bible and Lords !
Prayer we're sectarian materials |
and that their use violated
both the projections against an |
establishment of religion and
against impairment Of religious
freedom.
