National Debt
Boost Expected
To Win Approval
. Washington-iUPD-An increase
in the ceiling on the growing
national debt was expected to
win easy approval today from
the House Ways and Means
Committee.
Chairman Wilbur D. Mills
(D-Ark.) said he would ask
the panel to divorce the debt
limit plan from the Eisen
hower administration's con
troversial proposal to permit
higher interest on government
bonds.
Barrage of Criticism
There was little doubt that
'. higher debt ceiling would
coast through the committee,
and Congress, in time for a
June 30 deadline, although
perhaps not precisely ' in the
same form President Isen
hower requested.
The President's proposal to
wipe out the 4V4 per cent
limit on interest on govern
ment bonds of over five years'
maturity has run into a bar
rage of criticism from con
gressional Democrats, how
ever.
Senate Bows to Threats
Meanwhile," the Democratic-
controlled Congress was on
the retreat from legislation
that would increase federal
aid to airports far above
amounts recommended by
President Eisenhower. The
Senate Monday bowed to veto
threats and approved 7 tell a
pared-down bill to continue
the airport aid for two years
at the present $63 million-a-
year level. Earlier in the ses
sion the Senate approved a
massive four-year $465 mil
lion program. The House was
expected to go along with
the Senate's new version.
Kenai Peninsula
Forests Ablaze
Anchorage, Alaska-(CPfl-For-
est Service and Army person
nel battled two forest fires
Monday on the Kenai Peninsula.
More than 600 men fought
a 5,000-acre fire near Kenai
lake, about 125 miles south
of here.
The fire, which started last
Wednesday, was reported un
der control by the Forest
Service, but high tempera-
tures and continuing winds
were hampering final mop-up
. efforts. : J
Meanwhile, another blaze'
erupted at Chickaloon bay on
the peninsula, about 25 miles
south of here. Firemen were
attempting to halt the fire
line, advancing up the side
of a mountain above the bay.
There was no loss of life
in the big fire, although for
a time it appeared authorities
would be forced to order the
evacuation of the little com
munity of Coopers Landing as
the fire roared to within two
miles of it.
Sixteen fires have been
recorded by the Forest Serv
ice here since last Wednesday.

Farmers Urged To
Take Labor's Stand
Vancouver, Wash. - (UPD - A.
Lars Nelson, state Grange
master, today called on farm
ers to take a leaf from labor's
book and develop collective
bargaining procedures, to im
prove prices of their products.
In an address to the 70th
annual session of the State
Grange at Clark College here,
Nelson said these procedures
could be used on a state, re
gional or national basis.
"Our tools will be an en
lightened public opinion, ex
panded cooperatives, market
ing agreements and marketing
orders, either state or fed
eral," he said. "We need to or
ganize more effectively than
we have ever done before. Our
objective can be no less than
controlled production involv
ing supply, quality and price."

Another Week in

Mental Hospital
Galveston, Tex.-fUPD-Louisi-
ana uov. tan lxmg toaay
faced at least another week
in the Galveston mental hos
pital where he contends he is
being held prisoner. A hos
pital spokesman indicated the
covernor is becoming a bit
more reconciled to his en
forced stay.
Announcement by District
Judge L. D. Godard Monday
that he would need a week
to decide whether "Ole Earl"
should be released from John
Sealy hospital capped a day
long habeas corpus hearing
marked by shouted interrup
tions from the fiery brother
of the late Huey Long.
Called 'Horse Doctor'
Long referred to his physi
cian cousin as a "horse doc
tor" and at another point re
ferred to hospital , attendants
as '"bone crushers."
Although it was not notice
able, Long was under tran
quilizer drugs during the
hearing, the hospital spokes
man said.
Long shouted to reporters
"still in jail, boys" when he
was led away at the end of
the hearing Monday.
A hospital authority who
declined to be quoted by name
said that "naturally, Gover
nor Long was disappointed"
about not winning his imme
diate release.
"He thought that he would
be on his way home in Louisi
ana last night. But he had
accepted the court's action
very well."
Spirits Improved
, The spokesman said that
the governor's spirits seemed
to have been improved by see
ing a number of his friends
in court. He also said that
Long is much better physical
ly than he had been in a
week.
The hospital noted that the
mild sedation the governor
was under Monday in-no way
hampered his thinking or re
stricted his activities.
He asked for the hearing
by filing a writ of habeas
corpus in which he charged
that he was drugged, tied
hand and foot and spirited
away from Louisiana against
his will May 30.
Wall Street Chatter
New York-OJPD-Standard &
Poor's in its current "outlook"
suggests a more cautious pol
icy on the stock market, but
still finds ample basis for opti
mism for the longer-term. It
aticipates nothing more seri-
out than an interim period of
market irregularity likely to
be followed in time by a re
newed advance to new record
highs.
Trendex holds that minor
cycles call for another softish
period to start quite late this
month or early in July. It
looks for slightly more
strength than weakness dur
ing the coming weeks.
Edmund W. Tabell, analyst
for Walston & Co. says a con
tinuation of a consolidating
phase for some weeks would
be a constructive development
from a technical viewpoint
and would correct some of
the speculative excesses that
have occurred over the past
few months. When the ad
vance is resumed, he says,
probably new groups will be
among the leaders.
The outlook for business ac
tivity is too favorable to jus
tify fears of a long, downward
spiral in stock prices, accord
