A surprising lot of it has to do with schemes to raise money enough to pay the bill for rising cost of government. The little state of New Hamp shire started something the other day when it legalized a lottery in the form of a horse race sweepstakes from which it hopes to collect some four million dol larswhich will be allocated to . communities throughout the state for support of schools. The New Hampshire governor called it a "legitimate fiscal ex periment" that has the backing of a majority of the state's citi zens. That brought from the gov ernor of nearby Massachusetts a statement to the effect that his state would have a lottery also if voter sentiment was followed In Sacramento yesterday. As semblyman Allen Pattee. of Salt nas, said he is going to try tu get California to adopt a New Hampshire-type lottery "pram -In Washington, Representative Paul A. Fino, of New York, wasi encouraged by New Hampshire's action to call in the reporters and tell them that in his opinion there is only one way to cut taxes, reduce the national debt and still have money enough for schools, housing, disabled veter ans and health care adopt a NA TIONAL lottery. He added: "There's no question that the' New Hampshire action will have a tremendous impact on mem bers of congress. It will provide impetus for the congress to take a second look at the national ml tcry bill." Maybe. Bul- The Conuress of the United States of America has another way out equally simple and just as ellcctive. The Ways and Means committee of the U.S. House ol Representatives voted yesterday to RAISE THE NA TIONAL DEBT ceiling to a new high of $.109 billion dollars. This latest hike in the debt ceiling would become ellcctive on July I. During the interim the debt ceiling, now $305 billion, would 4e set at $307 billion, and some lime before August 31 Congress would be asked to set a new, and presumably higher, ceiling for the coming year. Simple, isn't it? You spend and spend and spend putting it on the cuff until the lime comes when there is no longer any room lelt and then you put through a bill to BUY A NEW CUKF. It's a wonderful system. I It beats the national lotlerv sclieme all hollow. General Plans Portland Trip TULSA. OUa H'PI' - Kurmer Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker plans to visit Portland.

A constitutional change and a proposed change in statutes are included in the anti-death penalty package. The constitutional change would make the penalty lor first degree murder life in prison. The statute change would re quire confinement for at least 15 years, and lifetime supervision under parole. The Senate conducted extensive public hearings on both measures. The proposed constitutional change was approved 25-3, the staute revision 24-6. Sen. Don W'illner, D - Portland. was tlie principal witness at Thursday's hearing. "Will you let the people vote on this issue?" he pleaded.

I know thai all Americans will join me in salut ing our gallant countrymen." The expedition was the third to climb Everest. Sir Edmund Hil lary, a New Zealand explorer with a British expedition, made it first in 1933 accompanied by Shcrpa guide Tensing Norkay. A Swiss team duplicated the feat in 1956.
