Humphrey Asks
For Lower Ceiling
On National Debt
WASHINGTON, GP^-The House
Ways and Means Committee yes
terday approved the Eisenhower
Administration’s request for a
one-year increase of $3 billion
in the national debt limit.
This would put the temporary
ceiling on government borrowing
during the new fiscal year start
ing July 1 at $278 billion, $3 bil
lion less than in effect the past
two years.
The statutory limit on the debt
is $275 billion. The Treasury can
not exceed that figure without
congressional approval.
Treasury Secretary Humphrey,
in asking for the lower temporary
ceiling, said the administration
expects to wind up the 1956 fiscal
year on June 30 with the national
debt under $273 billion.
He said this would be accom
plished by applying an expected
budget surplus of $1,800,000,000
to debt reduction.
Mrs. Laura Boucher, mother of
Clem Boucher, and her daughter,
Mrs. Monica Maxson, are visiting
here for several weeks.
This is Mrs. Boucher’s third vis
it to Nome and the first for Mrs.
Maxson. Mrs. Boucher is from
Redwood, Calif.
Mrs. Emily Boucher, accompan
ied by her daughter, Mary Jeanne,
returned from a short vacation
trip to the States in the Seattle
and Portland areas. She reports
seeing many Nomeites; also that
her father, Mr. A. Polet, whom
she took to the States, is getting
along nicely and is remaining in
Seattle for the summer.
Air-Driven Boat Launched
The “Peggy Kay” was officially
launched in Snake River Sunday
with Peggy Schick officiating.
This air driven hunting and fish
ing boat, specially built for Boyd
Harwood, has been named for his
two granddaughters.
