The legislative bombshell was a GOP plan to convert the legal lim it on the national debt now $305 billion into an effective check on deficit spending. The new definition of the debt limit, if enacted, would postpone for nearly four months any need for raising the actual limit. The proposal, put forth Friday, had such strong appeal for Dem ocrats that they cancelled a plan to push a debt limit hike through the House Ways 4 Means Com mittee immediately. Committee Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark., said he wanted to give Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon time to determine whether the GOP plan is acceptable to the Treasury. Dillon was on hand when Rep. John W. Bryens, R-Wis., advanced the surprise GOP proposal at a closed meeting of the committee. The secretary raised no immediate objections. Under Byrnes' plan the Treas ury when computing the debt sub Li - . t Dick Warren Res. Phone OR 3-4822 hood. He's an expert in planning all your insuronce-aulo, life, home and business.

Eisenhower Friday night defended h i s administration's position against Fidel Castro in the late 1950's. He said the United States would have been "interfering with an other American country" if it sought to check Castro in the late. 1950's when his Communist tics were not clearly defined. "I don't think I can speculate on' that," Eisenhower said at a news conference when asked to comment, in retrospect, on wheth er he thought it was possible to stop Castro then. A reporter re ferred to recent remarks attrib uted to President Kennedy to that effect. "Speculation is fruitless. ' You must remember America was very sick of a dictator named (Fulgcncio) Batista," he said. ject to the legal limit, would de duct from the actual debt the cash balances it has on hand. The debt now totals more than $303 billion, pressing close to the temporary legal limit of $305 bil lion. According to Dillon's projec tions, the debt would rise above that ceiling in the first week of June unless new legislation is en acted. The Treasury now has about $5 billion in cash on hand, however. Under Byrnes' proposed defini tion, the present debt subject to legal limitation would drop to slightly more than $298 billion. The $5 billion in cash would be sub tracted from the current outstand ing debt of slightly more than $303 billion. Byrnes told a newsman that this approach would enable Congress to fix the debt limit at a level that would put a chcck-rcin on spend ing without interfering with the Treasury s borrowing operations. Thus the Treasury could market its bonds whenever the market conditions were attractive with out regard to the debt limit, since the increase in the actual debt would be exactly offset by the increase in the cash on hand.

Winchester Plant Nears Completion An expansion program at Evans Products Co.'s plywood mill at Roseburg is ncaring completion and the company expects improved results from the mill during the second quarter. However, start-up costs at this mill adversely affect ed first quarter results, the com pany states in its report to its shareholders. Net earnings of $718 or 49 cents per share for the first quarter of 1963 were reported by the com pany. This is a substantial increase over the $76,274 or 5 cents per share, earned in the first quarter of 1962, the company said. Total revenues for the first quarter were $29,929,129 compared to $24,971,1)02 i 1962. The company, a major nation wide producer and distributor of plywood, hardboard and related building materials, and of damage-prevention equipment for rail road freight cars, reports earning increases were primarily due to loss operations which now no long er burden its profit potential, plus improved demand for certain of its products and more efficient opera tion. - The plant at Winchester will have more than double its former production when all units are oper ating very shortly. PP&L Inaugurates Power Use Survey In Roseburg Area A door-to-door survey of the num ber and type of electric household appliances used by customers of Pacific Power 4t Light Co. and an analysis of how homes here utilize electricity has been inaug urated in Douglas County, accord ing to Phil Quisenbcrry, PPS.-L dis trict manager. Purpose of the customer inter views is to provide the company information about the number of electric conveniences used by fam ilies in PP&L's service area and their future power requirements, he said. The calls are being made by members of the company's bust ness development staff. The information is expected to be useful in planning Pacific Pow-. cr's construction requirements and business programs, Quisebberry re ported. "Use of electricity in Douglas County households has increased almost one-third in the last five years," he said, "and the average household consumption in the dis trict is over 10,000 kilowatt-hours annually. "The total is above the com pany's system-wide average and almost two and one-half times the national average. "Based on other studies made by the company, the use of electricity here may well be expected to dou ble in the next ten years," the PP&L manager aaid.
