Printed Pattern VVH 9379 Hope Viewed For Cutting U.S. Debt WASHINGTON (AP) - The Treasury hopes to cut the national aebt by 5'i or 6 billion dollars in the next six months, but apparent ly not enough to avoid another temporary boost in the debt ceiling. A drop in the debt total is not unusual in the first half of the year the period of greatest tax receipts. The debt is now 2J1 billion dol lars. The Treasury said Wednesday it expects by the end of June to reduce the total to 285 or 2851. billions. The current temporary debt limit drops automatically on June 30 to 285 billions. So tho Treasury's estimates indicate Congress will have to be asked again for another temporary increase in the ceiling Even if reductions bring the limit to less than 285 billions by June 30, provisions have to be made for the last half of the year when tax receipts drop and ex penditures usually surpass receipts. ' The Treasury expects to pay off 10 billion dollars of maturing debt by June 30. But in the same per iod, it will borrow 4 to 4'i billions in new cash. Plans were announced WedncS' day to borrow 3'j billion dollars next month on a short-term basis through two auctions of bills. Due. to the continuing boom in the marriage rate, and the in creased interest in home buying refurnishing and modernization,' manufacturers of household fix tures saw fit to up' their national advertising expenditures in news- pipers 117 per cent last year over 1957. Scientists Asked To Help In Space Information Probe By FRANK CAREY WASHINGTON (AP) Scien tists of the Soviet Union and all oi her nations have been asked to help tab and study space informa tion being sent back by the newest American satellite, Explorer VII.

The codes would enable deci phering of radio signals from Ex plorer VII at observation points around the world before the radio Ruling Given By Legal Chief SALEM (AP)-Atty. Gen. Rob ert Y. Thornton said Wednesday that in order to qualify for a grant-in-aid, Lane County should estab lish a county library system as outlined by state law.

POSTPONE CONFERENCE WASHINGTON (UPI) - The council of the Organization of American Stales (OAS) Wednes day postponed Indefinitely the ll'h Inter-American Conference The conference had been sched uled to open in Quito, Ecuador, Feb. 1. transmission is turned off in an other 10 months. NASA said the 92-pound Explorer VII, launched Oct. 13 from Cape Canaveral, Fla.. is already yield ing data that might help answer some questions about space radia tion hazards, the world's weather and atmospheric gremlins that sometimes bedevil radio and other communications systems on earth. Explorer VII is whirling around the earth at altitudes of between 345 and 670 miles and speeds vary ing from 16,000 to 17,000 miles an hour. Here are some of its new space findings: 1. On several occasions it has recorded strange "sporadic" bursts of radiation between the two, separate doughnut shaped zones of the Van Allen radiation belts that surround the earth. Scientists say they don't know whether these bursts would con stitute further potential hazards for future space travelers. 2. Results from two different types of experiments involving cosmic ray studies may help man to cope better with geomagnetic storms and other atmospheric phenomena that sometimes raise hob with radio and other com munications systems on the earth 3. Explorer VII also has shown abilities to record the distribution of heat radiated back into space from the earth that is, the heat the earth originally gets from the sun. This "heat balance" phenom enon plays a big role in brewing the world's weather because there are geographic variations in the amount of heat radiated back into space. 4. The satellite has picked up indirect evidence of cloud and storm areas as great as 1,000 miles across in the atmosphere above the earth's sunlit side. Maine Names New Leader AUGUSTA.
