Humphrey to answer charges that
th ovemmit u "fiscal
mm" and seriously vulnerable te
a business slump
Humphrey, testifying il Senate
Finance Committee hearings oa
the Eisenhower administrations
money policies, retorted that the
Treasury is "in much better
shape" than he found it la four
yean ago
But Chairman Byrd iD-Va de
manded particular! He read into
the record a four-barreled. 509
word question, te be answered at
Humphrey's leisure in writing
It was actually a series of
charges and assertions, pa in ting
what Byrd called "a picture of the
most dangerous impbcatwos ." It
closed with a single hue "What
do rou think jhoukl be done'"
The Byrd statements were
1 Congress will not renew the
three-btUiooHdoIUr increase ta the
rVbtlhoa-dollar ceiling est the na
tional debt, due to expire Jury 1
The debt ts within a billion of the
ceiling but officials say they may
get by without aa increase.
"ValweraMe to Hum"
1. High taxes and mounting
spending have left the country
'dangerously" vulnerable la any
business slump. A decline ta the
1 level of national income.
Byrd said, would cost the Trees
ory U btUioa dollars af revenue
nd would shake the financial
foundation af thn country "
1. A continued "debasement ' of
the dollar Is lorsssiable and. if
srolonged. will bring "meat sen
us cooseojuencea The dollar is
worta eg I reoU compared with
Ota 1MI value, Byrd said.
4. Higher taxes provide ae nota
tion Aa increase would cause
"great hardship and injury ta the
competitive enterprise system "
Apses to Answer
Humphrey, occupying the wit
aesa chair for the third straight
day and running iate suffer gril
ling dairy, agreed to submit aa an
swer Then Byrd yielded te Sen
Kerr ' D-CLa l. known as aa
"easy-money man "
Kerr sailed nght in Was the
Wan Street Journal justified m it
recent editorial declaring that the
government is "in a fiscal mess
that the Treasury is "short of
money." and that a recent bond
offering was s "flop"'
Humph rwy protested that there
is aa emergency "I've neon ia
one crisis after another every day
for four years." he told the Ok la
bom an
"We're not in any more crisis
aow than at any time since I have
been here I think It the Troas
sury is in much better shape
than It wae four years ago.
Highest interest Offered
Kerr's questions centered on the
Treasury's recent failure ta dia-
pose of an of four billioa debars
of new Treasury notea to the bold
ert of a maturing issue Although
the new notes carry IS per cent
buereet, the highest offered since
mid-depretaioa days, holders of
shout 11 X4etje of the eld is
sue demand rash instead of taking
the new securities
Byrd had quiuod Humphrey
earlier en whether this indicated
the government was being
squeesed by its owa policy of
keeping credit tight end letting
interest rates climb.
fievemsneal Mast Compete
The Treasury secretary instated
there wss no financial jam The
government he explained must
compete in the free money market
with all other borrowers and psj
the going rate of interest.
The outcome of the financing
he added, was about what we
had expected " He said he par
tonally was reaponeshle for the
terms of the offering The issue
was priced "deliberately aa what
was a very narrow margin " he
said, la taat the market
The fsll -short ia sales was ae
surprise, he said because investors
aowadays are interested in shorter-term
securities to keep their
assets liquid
Byrd wants ts know If lnve
ton wanted ta avttd tying up their
money hi long-term bonds because
they feared inflation
"Well they doe t know which
way the market is going " Hum
phrey replied I think there s
fear of inflation ia the minds of
great many investors sad why
shouldn't there he'"

Supreme
Court Gets
Girard Case
By WILMOT RERCtfEft
WASHINGTON. Jim -Th
government rubbed to the Su
preme Court today with aa appeal
for permission to turn Army Spe
cialist S C. William S. Girard aver
te the Japanese for trial oa man
slaughter charges.
It asked thjt a V S. District
Court decision barring a Japa
nese trial be overturned.
Public interest ia an early dia- "
position of the case, the Justice
Department said, is so great that
the high court should act si soon
as possible.
Atty. Gen. Browne 11 and his le
gal aide were pressing for a de
cision before the Supreme Court
adjourns for the summer next
Monday.
Japaa Awaits Trial
Without an early ruling, the gov
ernment said in its petition, "the
overwhelming likelihood is that
the I'mted States will be unable
to fulfill its commitment to Japan
(or several trying months, even
though the Japanese government
is very desirous of holding re
spondent's trial without delay and
expects him te be turned aver
I promptly."
Girard. 11. is sccused of killing
a Japanese woman on a U. 5.
Army fying range in Japan,
where he was on guard duty, last
Jan. JO
la a decision approved by Pres
ident Eisenhower, the govern
ment decided ta let the Japanese
try Girard But V S Dist. Judge
Joseph C. McGsrrsghy ruled
against it on Tuesday
WeaM Vletate Rights
McGsrrsghy enjoined the gov
ernment against surrendering the
Ottawa. In. soldier to Japanese
justice, holding that to de so
would violate Guard's constitu
tional rights
McGsrrsghy i decision was
"clearly wrong. " the Justice De
parlment contended in its Su
preme Court petition
.An appeal had been filed in the
V. S Court of Appeals here but
it ss decided today to go di
ractly to the Suxeme Court in
the interests of speed Officials ta
both the J istire and Defense de
partment partiripaied ia the de
cision Repeating lor arguments made
before .lud(f McGarraghy. the
petition contended the decision hy
the execute e branch of the gov
ernment to wane 1 S jurisdic
tion tn the Girard rase and let
Japan try the soldier is not sub
ject tn judinsl review
la Periorwtsaee wf Daly
MrGarraghv held thst Girsrd is
entitled to trial by a V. 8 court
martial because the death of the
woman. Nsks Sskai, ' arose, out of
sn set or omission done in the
performance of official duty."
Naka Saksi. scavenging for
scrap metal on the firing range,
u killed when struck in the back
by an empty cartridge casing
fired from a grenade launcher.
Girard said he merely meant te
warn the woman and did not la
tend to hit her The Japanese
contend he was engaging ia a
prank
Preparstions for s Japanese
trial in Vfaeoashi District Court
are going ahead, although Japa
nese legsl authorities have coo-
ceded that they will be unable to
get custody of Girard if the Su
preme Court upholds the District
Court injunction Girsrd is re
stricted tn his trmv post Csmp
