Garland The two members of the Stale Law Deparlmenl said Iheir examination of tlie petitions indicated names on four of the forms hai en si by the same hand and about half the names on anothei sheet appeared lo have teen signed by the same person Sweeney and Garland said any laboratory evidence confirming their conclusions would be turned over to the State's attorney tor prosecution. The Municipal Court revamping the city's court system and adding judges, was enacted by the 1961 General Assembly Referendum petitions aimed at delaying the bill until voters could pass on it in November 1962 were last month by James 11.

The emergency bills were lo ren clectio the court polilions were invalid for lack of sufficient valid signatures. The legal officials are still studying petitions against Ihe savings and loan bill and a third measure which would crejile Maryland's new Bth Congressional District out of Howard and Prince Georges counties. Finaii's ruling against the court bill was based on the argument lhat a single invalid signature on a petition form meant no names on that form should be counted. Pollack called the ruling "dictatorial," "preposlerous," and "against common sense." He said he would continue his fight against tin bill bul declined to say what his nest step would be.

A court lest of Finan's ruling is almost certain. In other developments Wednesday, an injunction suit was filei, in Baltimore City Circuit Court by Municipal Courl supporters lo pro- hibil the matter on the 1962 ballot.

But to those who see "Treasury can future economic growth as certain if Uncle Sam helps with more spending, the debt limit is just a matter of Ixmkkceping. Kighl now the federal debt is $290.2 billion. Treasury financing iplans call for it lo rise lo around $2U5 billion before 1961 is over. The previous record was $291.3 billion in October 1959, The (rouble is that Congress has fixed the legal limit of the U.S.

debt at $285 billion. The aim: lo encourage economy. To relieve Uncle Sam's difficulty this time last year, a temporary limit ot $293 billion was granted. This automatically expires June 30. So the Treasury is asking a new stop-gap limit of 5298 billion for the coming fiscal year.

This would cover, the scheduled rise to $295 billion and give the Treasury a $3 billion leeway in which to do its financial maneuvering. Why doesn't it just ask for a $300 billion limit? Cynics might point out lhat $29a billion sounds better than $300 bil- lion would--just as a $2.08 shirt used lo sell better in a bargain basement than a $3 one. But Ihe Treasury says it's real reason is that a $3 billion leeway is all it needs--and Congress might even boggle al giving that much. The real point isn't the raising of the legal debt limit. That is largely a formality.

The increased spending has already been scl. And revenues aren't going lo cover il. So the Treasury must bor- w.
