FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1953 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINE Opposition to Ike's Wanting To Raise Debt Limit Melts By CHARLES F. BARRETT WASHINGTON iM President Elsenhower appeared today to be making headway against hot con gressional opposition to his late hour plea to boost the federal debt celling -by 16 billion dollars. Republican leaders confidently predicted and Democrats general ' ly agreed that the House would Rent Control Ends Tonight WASHINGTON Ov-Federal rent control, last of the economic curbs born of worm war , aies at mid night tonight in some 1,100 com munities across the nation. Office of Rent Stabilization offi cials said they do not expect any wave of drastic rent increases to follow, one official estimated rents generally will go up about 10 per cent. Some states are prepared to step in with their own laws. New York has had such legislation for some time. Massachusetts, New Jersey and Kansas have adopted lawe which permit imposition of state control. Connecticut has a law that becomes effective automatically when federal curbs end. Of the big cities outside these states, only Philadelphia and Balti more have passed controls ordi nances. And there, federal officials said,, is a real question of corati ; tutlonality, since neither Maryland ' nor Pennsylvania has passed en abling legislation. Federal rent control first went : Into effect In April 1942. At the ' heieht of World War II, some 16 M million units were covered. r After tonight, only about 120.000 ! units in scattered critical defense areas will remain subject to fetter- al rent supervision. i These are areas that include mil' 5 Itarv or atomic energy in'stalla i Hons where there' has been a sub- stantlal influx of personnel, and e where housing shortages are found J to threaten to result in excessive i rent boosts. ,i Twenty-four such areas have f been certified. As many as three X' inure may oe ceiiuicu ueiuic uic J midnight deadline, i These areas are to remain under i rent control until next April ?0, un - less government surveys show be- fore then that housing problems in ;r the Individual localities have been :'" met. . The federal rent agency that at one time had 5.000 employes will '( go out of existence tonight. A rem- nant of 75 will then handle what i Is left of the government's rent . program under the wing of the of fice of Defense Mobilization i (ODM). overwhelmingly pass the' -storm- provoking proposal by thi, afternoon. In the Senate. whr th lum threw a seemingly insurmountable uniitcr across me last track cleared for adjournment this week end, at least some of the powerful opposition to the President's plea snowea signs oj wavering. Administration forces geared for an intense, rapid-fire drive to push the plan across in the closing days of this session. Chairman Daniel A. Reed (R NY) called the House Ways and Means Committee into an early closed door session (1:30 a. ni. EST) to act on the Issue. Secretary of the Treasury Hunv phrey arranged to present the ad' ministration's case lor raising the debt celling from the present 275 billion dollars to 290 billions. Humphrey said yesterday "near panic" might result if the lid is not lifted and the government as a result couldn't pay its bills. The debt now stands at 212 !i billions. The Senate Finance Committee planned a similar session this aft ernoon (1:30 a m. .Esr. House leaders obviously hoped to. send the bill to the Senate in time for that committee to act on it today. i As the' Senate recessed last night, acting Republican Leader Know land of California told his col leagues he still "will want to re serve Judgment on the hour and day of adjournment" in view of the' president's debt limit request. He said he advised Secretary of State Dulles he does not expect to be free to leave either Saturday or Sunday on their scheduled trip to Korea to confer with Korean President Svngman Rhec Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, the Democratic leader, called the debt limit request "startling it it has been sent to the Congress at the 11th hour." . ,. Eisenhower formally asked for the Increase in a terse, ' 250-word message to Congress last night. The President said It will be necessary to borrow more money and exceed the present limit "to meet necessary expenditures and to maintain a safe workmg bal ance of funds ... to conduct the government's fiscal affairs effec tively." House Speaker Joseph Martin (R-Mass) told reporters there may be a wall of protests over tne Issue but when the chips are down con gressmen "will be falling all over themselves to vote lor uie m- crease." "None of these fellows Is going to want to vote against this thing when they realize the veterans might not get their checks in De cember, or government workers might go unpaid, or we might not be able to pay for the airplanes and tanks delivered for national defense." Sen. Sparkman of Alabama, the Democrats' 1912 vice presidential nominee, said he would prefer to have the administration try to get along without the higher ceiling and call Congress back to special session In the fall if it finds .this impossible. Sen. Maybank (D-SC) declared: "I think at this particular time It is Impossible for the President to have the debt limit raised. If the administration will economize and cut, they won't need It." Most said they wanted to hear the administration's justification of the appeal before declaring their intentions. House Democrats planned an at' tack on last-minute timing of the proposal and on what one called a "cowardly lack of guts" to ask for enough taxes to balance the budget and avoid the debt Increase, But House Democratic leaders conceded a majority of their mem bers would vote for the increase in a showdown. With the main ha ill. t the Senate. Know land (aid Senate riucs permiuuif unlimited debate were the chief obstacles to fart evion. But Bens.

Paul L. Patter-'-' son to develop a statewide policy '; orr the use of water. ! "For too long, " the governor said- "attention to water problemb in Oregon has been given on an " area basis, without considering the - effects on the rest of the state." The governor said much water Is :'h being wasted, and that water from i Veils is being used without any v control. The committee, which will report " In the 1955 Legislature, also will ' try to find a way to settle disputes l, over tire use oi water.
