PAGE FOUR i—sftfnontifßit I The National Otitlook I s A New Political Isstfe Develops F* By Ralph Robkt * *'w, Deal Democrats have de sided to make a party political !iSue over the Administration’s ISouest for a higher public debt veiling, and for removal of the present limit on the interest te'WSBI tt»e treasury may of-1 • oh obligations of more than fe years maturity. Conserva e Democrats may not go mg With this decision of the beraF’wing of the party, but i issue promises to be one of i great controversies of the i ssent Congress. i j rhe Administration has asked i ; thrfee things: an increase of i billion in debt ceiling; the 1 ht to increase the interest OYI I rings bonds, and removal of > 1 i present 4tVt per cent interest litation on all Treasury ob ations maturing in mere than e years. c freasury Heeds Some Elbow * Room j ■Back of the request for the j ■{her debt ceiling is the hard ft that at the end of this fiscal star. June 30, the will be Bne $2 billion above ''the pres 'ft ceiling. This can be taken ft-e of on a temporary basis, ■t not indefinitely, and the ■easury is of the opinion that ■ must have some elbow room. ■Actually, there is a large sea- ftal variation in Treasury re st pts.- They always are rela ftely - low in the first six ftnths of a fiscal year, and ftch higher in the second six ftnths Even with a balanced ■dget tor the fiscal year end- 1 ft June 30, 1960, which is a Visibility, there will be a sub ftntial deficit between now fti next December. This can ■ met, as it has been in the Ist, by providing for a tem- Srary bulge in the debt ceil :ft. or by making the legal debt' ■lit .apply only at the end of ft fiscal year. Wt is assumed that the increase q£ the debt ceiling will be 1 passed by Congress. It has to be if the nation is not going to get into a Seriolisly embarrassed fi nancial position, and it is un thinkable that anyone would de liberately bring that about. The argument for increasing the interest on savings bonds is simple. At present 3Vt percent, which ,is what these bonds now pay, is below many other in- T|estments of virtually equal safety and greater liquidity. This is one of the reasons for the fairly consistent redemption of savings bonds above new sales. In other words, these obligations „ no longer are a source of new funds to the Treasury but on the contrary have become a drvin on the cash balance of the Gov ernment. It is proposed to raise the interest rate to 3H percent for all such bonds sold after June 1 of this year, and to adjust the yield to the same j figure on those already out standing. > ELLIOTT Cleaners j NU-PRO PROCESS SANEX Pll MOTHPROOFING (3 in 1 Protection) also RAIN COTE Water repellent pro cess . . . protect your garments from Rain, Snow, Stains. f ~ ONE DAY SERVICE -3 DOUBLE BLANKESS _52.00 j 3 SINGLE BLANKETS .^^■sl.4s It is also assumed that these changes will be authorized with out much difficulty. The reasons for requesting elimination of the present 4V4 interest limitation on obligations !of more thaii five years matur ity are two facts: first, many of the issues now outstanding yield more than 4V4 percent, which means that the Treasury today cannot sell a long term bond; second, if Treasury bor- ■ rowing has to be limited to short term issues it has great inflationary potentials, because such issues are taken largely by the banks and paid for by book keeping entries, which means an increase in the money supply. Make The Issues More Attractive The great argument being developed against the elimina tion of this interest rate re striction is that it would involve , higher rates' across the board.

JUNE U, i»5». t both Secretary of the Treasury Anderson, speaking for the Ad i ministration, and William Mar !tin, Jr., speaking as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, denied that this would be the result Both in ! sisted that the general level of interest raites would not advance and that the cost of carrying ! .the public debt might actually decline. Their argument was : that such freeing of the hands of the Treasury would enable issues to be better tailored to the market, would make pos sible better timing of the offer ings, and would tend to allay the fears of inflation, thus cre ating more willingness on the part of investors to buy obli gations which carry a fixed rate of interest. It is too early to be dogmatic on how this particular contro versy will end. The expectation is that the House will pass a bill fairly quickly, probably giv ing the Administration what it has asked. The Senate, then, will be the real battle ground. , I What will happen there is any- 1 one’s guess.

For immediate use: As soon as you take the bread out of the oven, remove it from the baking pan to cool. To cool bread cor rectly, air must circulate around it. A cake rack, which is slightly raised, ‘makes an ideal cooling rack, or you can place bread across the edges of a bread pan. When bread is thoroughly cooled, wrap it tightly in waxed paper, metal foil, or clean clear plastic and store in a covered bread box. Long term storage: All breads I keep well in a freezer. This is an i added boon today’s busy home maker.

After the bread is com pletely cool, wrap H carefully in freezer paper, metal foil, or oth er material suitable for wrapping foods for freezing. Then seal the edges of the wrapper with freezer i tape, label, and store in the freez er (not in the freezing compart ment of the refrigerator). When you use frozen bread Remove bread from the freezer and let it stand, wrapped, at room temperature for two or thref hours before using.
