The administrators request
for an extension of the $30e
billion national debt limit until
November 80 won House Ways
and Means Committee approval
today.
BY a straight party vote of
1910, Democrats defeated a
Republican attempt to confine
the extension from August 81
to october 81, instead Of No
vember 80. as proposed yester-
day by Secretary Of the Treas
ury Dillon.
The Republicans tried to set
the temporary debt limit at
1907 billion for that period.
Committee m e m bers said
they hoped the bill would be
brought up in the House late
this week or early next week.
Ceiling Raised in May
Congress voted in May to in
crease the debt limit from 1905
billion to 1907 billion until
June 80, the end Of the fiscal
year, and then to 5000 billion
until August 81. The House
vote was 213-204.
Unless Congress acts before
August 81 the 5000 billion tenn
porary limit will drop auto
matically to the statutory per-
manent limit of $685. billion.
Mr.. Dillon estimated the
actual debt on that date would
total about 1907 billion.
The Treasury Secretary in
dicated in May that he might
recommend boosting the tenn
porary limit to 1920 billion
after August 81. In recent days
there were reports that the ad-
ministration would be willing
to hold the line at 5000 billion
limit until December and thus
avoid a threatened congress
sional battle until later this
year.
Mr.. Dillon explained that by
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-07-30

the railroads have deliberately
and calculatedly refused to
reach the point Of an agree
ment with us, with the purpose
and objective of creating a
crisis of national proportions
and establishing an environ
ment for consideration of COM
pulsory arbitration as a means
Of disposing of the dispute"
Five on train unions have
said they will strike if new
work rules, which would slice
crews on freight and yard runs,
are imposed by the industry.
The railroad deadline for post
ing Of the new rules is 1901
am. August 20.
Opposes Kennedy Plan
Mr.. Gilbert spoke in opposi-
ton to President Kennedy'S
proposal that the controversy
be turned over to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission
for the next two years.
He said that would be COM
pulsory arbitration, pointing
toward the end of that kind
of bargaining which has be-
come a part of our system
of free enterprise"
Mr.. Gilbert said the only
solution to this case is to be
found in collective bargaining
collective bargaining which
has had a shot in the arm"
He said Congress can pro-
vide that booster shot.
And he added both sides
should bargain with the knowl-
edge that "the heavy hand Of
congressional power is ready
to punish a party failing to
meet his public and private
responsibilities during negotia-
tons.

ment say they are encouraged

No Reply Yet for Carriers
L. ]. Wagner, president Of
the Order of Railway Conduc-
tors and Brakemen, told the
Senate Commerce Committee
the new offer was made Satur-
day in the reopened bargaining
session.
He said no reply had come
as yet from the carriers but
added he didn't believe they
had had time to present one.
However, Daniel P. LOOMS
president Of the Association o.
American Railroads, was at the
hearing and when asked by 9

gaining sessions Friday under
prodding from legislators who
expressed fears that Congress
might set a dangerous pattern
by stepping into the dispute.
Senator Pastore, Democrat of
Rhode Island, the Commerce
Committees acting chairman,
has said he doesn't think the
two sides are so far apart that
they can't reach an agreement
through bargaining.
However, Secretary Of Labor
Wirtz has cautioned he sees no
chance of a settlement except
through legislation.
In Session Till 10
The Senate Commerce Com
mittee stayed in session until
almost 10 pm. to hear brother
hood spokesman. Neil P. Speirs,
president of the Switchmen's
Union, said that "as long as
the carriers know that a strike
will not be tolerated in
the railroad industry there will
never be collective bargain
ing. :"
Charles Luna, president of
the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, testified 81 cannot
find words to emphasize to this
committee strongly enough the
havoc which could result from
the action Of this Congress if
it were to pass this proposed
legislation which is, in reality,
nothing more or less than COM
pulsory arbitration"
Problem SOlvabIe
Another union official told
the House Commerce Commit
tee he thinks railway labor and
management could settle their
work-rules dispute in "a matter
Of weeks" if Congress sent
them back to the bargaining
table.

for the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Engineers, said unions and

President Kennedy's battered
area redevelopment legislation
faces a stormy session today in
the House Banking Committee
Republicans are trying to
write q strong civil rights Sec
ton into the bill, which would
authorize funds to continue
the program Of encouraging
new industry in unemployment
plagued areas.
Chairman Patman, Demo
crat Of Texas, said in an in
terview IF the civil rights Sec
ton goes into the bill, that's
the end Of 1t. It will never
come out Of the Rules Com
mittee."
Earlier this year the House
defeated by q five-vote margin
q similar bill, carrying q $455
million authorization for the
program.
Vote Again Sought
Rallying for q new try, adj
ministration forces got a bill
through the Senate and now
are trying for another House
vote.
There have been rumors, de-
MED by the House leadership,
Of an arrangement to pick up

Representative Taft, Repub-
lican Of Ohio, said he will offer
an amendment requiring that
hotels and motels built with

not to discriminate against any

would cut back the spending
authorization.
Quarrel at Hearing
Mr.. Taft and Undersecretary
Of Commerce Franklin D.
Roosevelt, jr., had a sharp ex-
change at yesterdays hearing
Mr.. Taft told Mr.. Roosevelt
he was stunned at the Under
secretary's opposing the civil
rights amendment and Mr..
Roosevelt suggested Mr.. Taft
offered it in order to defeat
the bill.
Mr.. Roosevelt argued that
enactment Of President Ken
nedy's civil rights program
automatically would provide
the necessary guarantees. But
Mr.. Taft said no Federal aid
should be made available for
facilities that did not guarantee
nondiscrimination.
Representative Pepper, Dem
ocrat Of Florida, said Congress
should face the civil rights is
sue head-on by voting on the

have to fight the civil rights
issue separately on every piece
of legislation that comes up,

Flu-Type Illness
Increase Delays
Hospital Surgery

RICHMOND, Feb. 9 (AP).-
Some Richmond hospitals have
had to postpone non-emergency
surgery scheduled last month
and this because of overcrowded
rooms, brought on partially by
an epidemic Of flu-like illness.
An official of the Medical
College Of Virginia said it has
asked doctors to postpone all
elective surgery possible. Extra
beds have been set UP in wait
ing rooms, he said.
The spokesman attributed
some Of the overcrowding to
patients having complications
resulting from influenza.
Three other hospitals also
said they were having to delay
elective surgery because of
overcrowded situations. Other
hospitals said this is the time
of year when they experience
overcrowding.

D. c. Transit
Rail Writeoff
Faces Attack

D. c. Transit Systems justi-
fication for charging customers
nearly $4,000 this year to write
off abandoned rail properties
was certain to be vigorously
attacked when it's fare case
hearings resume February 20.
In testimony before the
Washington Metropolitan Area
Transit Commission yesterday
the company said that it had
not been compensated for the
properties. Harvey M. Spear
company general counsel, said
that the test Of whether the
company had been compen-
sated was whether its rate OF
return had been sufficient in
the past.
Vice President James H
Flanagan introduced an ex-
hibit showing the company
earned lower rates of return
than those deemed fair and
reasonable by the District Pub
lie Utilities Commission. On
cross-examination. however, he
conceded that the exhibit
showed the company's book
figures for investment and not
the investment figures used by
the p. U. c.
In 1860, for instance, it was
brought out. the company ex-
hibit showed Transit earned
a So per cent return on an in
vestment Of approximately
$l9.9 million. The P. U. c. cal
culated the return as III per
cent on the basis Of a SIC mil
lion investment.
The commission will have the
benefit OF some clarification OF
the cloudy transit fare situa-
ton when 1t resumes Its hear
ings. Parties in the appeal
which led TO the United States
Court OF Appeals ruling last
week that the company's 1860
fare hike was unjustified must
file proposed remedies for
carrying out this ruling by

walked in, wearing a belt carry
ing the tools of his trade

drivers.
I'm still shaking inside"
Mrs. Johnson said later. 1T
was the most unnerving expe-
rience in my life. We thought
we were so secure, in a hos

The stranger checked elec-
trical comptometers, typewrit-
ers and tabulators until 2 pm,

said he would wait until the

drawers before checking their
machines.
