Ives In The Baltimore Sun The Del Limit Sounds A Red Sea JJROOKINGS Institution, a private, non-profit re-search organization, proposes an end to the national debt celling not only because it has failed to limit federal spending, but also because, in Brookings' view, it is downright harmful.

A statutory limit on spending has "Jeopardized long-run national defense policy; interfered with compensatory (spending measures during recession; hampered proper debt management, policy; fostered budgetary subterfuge; increased the cost of financing the government." So concludes Brookings in recommending, Instead of a fixed ceiling, a floating ceiling that would rise automatically whenever deficit spending compels an Increase. The institution's charges, while in part accurate particularly the one about "budgetary subterfuge" are broadly drawn. To say that the ceiling has interfered with "national defense policy" Ls arbitrary. The limitation has always been pliable in an emergency: During World War II it was raised to $300 billion to free the government from money worries. If it has substantially hampered spending, the debt celling has accomplished more than its own history reveals.

The budget climbs every year, as does the national debt. If spending has been inhibited by the statutory ceiling, consider what the, debt would be today if, as Brookings and others propose, there were no ceiling. The proposed "floating" ceiling has been in virtual effect, anyway. Three times since 1946 the debt limit has been increased twice last year. A $3 billion increase (from $275 billion) expired in 1957.

In February of last year, a temporary increase of $5 billion was authorized. When, within months, this was shown to be inadequate, Congress raised the permanent ceiling to $283 billion and authorized an additional $5 billion temporary increase to cover this fiscal year. A $13 billion deficit this year will all but wipe out the increases that have been made from the original $275 billion limit: the President has proposed another set of boosts all around a new permanent celling of $288 billion, a new temporary ceiling of $295 billion. It can hardly be said, therefore, that debt ceilings have seriously hampered necessary spending. It has served possibly to restrain capricious outlays which, In the absence of a ceiling, might have been authorized.

There is little doubt that Congress will again authorize at least temporary increases in the debt limit, but the ease with which it is altered doesn't support a demand for the end to ceilings. Aside from the psychological effect they have on congressmen and presidents contemplating large spending programs, the debt ceilings serve at least a slight educational purpose. For the few who care, the limit and alterations of It are a dolorous reminder that the Treasury ls awash in red ink that gets deeper by the year. The Shark From Oregon Clare Booth Luce, who got somewhat worse treatment than she deserved from Wayne Morse, is now one-up on the Oregon assassin. In a personal letter to the editor of the newspaper Globo in Rio, Mrs.

Luce allowed that she looked forward to getting in some skin-diving time (a hobby of hers which has been exhibited ad nauseum in her husband's Sports Illustrated), "After what happened in the Senate sessions," she wrote, "I am anxious to look an honest shark in the face." The description of Morse is apt, even though it was coined by a pretty cold fish. He resembles nothing so much as a leering sand shark with comic, fake eyebrows. How Hiph The Mohiles Opinion Research Corp. has isolated a new strain of Americans the High Mobiles, they are called by the consumer research boys. While High Mobiles usually do travel around more than other this is not the primary reason for the designation.

It ls their willingness to try new things." For instance, the HMs were the first to use electric blankets, automatic clothes dryers, credit cards, rented cars, frozen soups, stereophonic phonographs and magnetic tape, wall-to-wall carpeting, wild rice, Irish whisky, outdoor grills, food freezers, quinine water, colored sheets, food blenders, etc. Naturally, this "leadership elite for change," ls the target of advertising HE confusions of the time being what they are, there may be some few further lapses. But there is no doubt that last Monday's decisions in the two communism cases represent the large outline of the Supreme Court's permanent jurisprudence in this area. In these opinions the court majority recovers the thread of interpretation first formed in anxious and angry dissent by the late Chief Justice Stone, then refined and fortified in the magisterial judgments of Learned Hand, and finally prevailing in the Vinson court with ultimate statement by the late Justice Robert H. Jackson.

The difference between Stone-Hand Jackson and Black-Douglas-Warren was always simple at base. Both schools agreed that communists could be conspiratorial and that they read the sacred Marxoid books. But Stone, Hand and Jackson put the conspiracy first. Black, Douglas and Warren saw the communists more as a mere reading circle whose activities were thus defended by the Bill of Rights even when pursued in secret. Some such reasoning led the Chief Justice to the "veto message" in the Watkins case, whose warmth restrictions greater than in fact it imposed on the people's effort through their legislatures to examine the workings of the communist conspiracy.

This was the notion which sparked the incessant Black-Douglas keening about an inquisition of the mind terrorizing the quiet communist contemplatives, thus lmperilng every college, church, laboratory, library and sewing circle in the land and so abhorrent to the whole idea of Anglo-American liberty. YT the plain historical fact was that the anti-communist program could be duplicated in everything but its mildness in our central libertarian tradition. The fact was that James II was toppled in the revolution inaugurating modern liberty precisely because he flouted the security laws of the Parliament. The fact was that the great 1689 Act of Toleration denied its privileges to all thought of as agents of a foreign power. The story starts with the bill issued by Pope Pius in 1570 which purported to release Englishmen from their allegiance to Queen Elizabeth.

She and her Parliament responded with the first of the great English security laws against the "papists." Elizabeth's enemies hit back with the Spanish Armada in 1588. Elizabeth tightened the security laws still further. In the next reign Guy Fawkes was discovered in an attempt to blow up the Parliament houses with gunpowder. More security legislation PRESIDENT EISENHOWER is hav-ing a difficult time in recovering from two major rebukes administered to him by his own House favorites, including one whom he ls reported to have characterized as a "political genius" House Minority Leader Charles A. Halleck of Indiana.

By the overwhelming and veto proof Eisenhower Suffers Two Big Rebukes vote of 380-20, the House has passed a $1.1 billion public works bill bitterly opposed by the administration. Although President Elsenhower has ruled out any "new starts" lest their cost in succeeding years will unbalance budgets, the "pork barrel" bill of 1959 provides for 51 unplanned projects for flood control, Irrigation, navigation and water power. The full GOP leadership Halleck, former Speaker Joe Martin, Reps. Leo E. Allen and Leslie C.

Arends of Illinois voted to recommit the anti-Eisenhower legislation. But their pro-White House stand was merely nominal, since the 205-192 vote against sending the measure back to a committee pigeonhole was a Democratic certainty. EFFECTIVE LOG ROLLING On final passage, Halleck and his top-level associates voted for the bill. Should it get through the Senate, it may invite a veto. But President Elsenhower will offend powerful Interests and millions of voters in a dozen western states, If he withholds approval.

His embarrassment is increased by the fact that rarely has a measure been log rolled so effectively. Several cooperative blocs farm, reclamation, water power, rivers and harbors, the Army Engineers, labor-used this legislation as, the basis (for future swaps of support on several other costly and anti-administration measures. In short, it was a field day for almost every "gimme" lobby on Capitol Hill. STRANGE GOP HOUSE POLICY COMMITTEE MOVE On the same day as this White House defeat, the House Republican Policy Committee endorsed by 28-5 a measure stripping the Supreme Court of its assumed power to outlaw state legislation because of federal pre-emption. State legislation affected include anti-communist and civil rights laws.

The bill bears the name of Rep. Howard W. Smith of Virginia, champion of states' rights and a last-ditch foe of educational integration. Atty. Gen.

William P. Rogers has described it as "hazardous," and has asked for, its defeat in testimony before congressional committees. The chairman of the Republican Policy Committee Is Rep. John W. Burns of He was a principal promoter of the movement to replace Rep.

Martin with Halleck as minority leader. The Bvrnes-Hal-lerk winning argument was that the Bay State veteran was not sufficiently aggressive on behalf of Eisenhower's legislative program. SUPREME COURT NOW FIVE EISENHOWER APPOINTEES Naturally, endorsement of the Smith bill is regarded as a direct slap at the White House and at the Supreme Court, which now has a majority of five Eisenhower appointees. Finally, the resolution favoring the anti-court measure was proposed by Rep. William C.

Cramer, Florida Republican from St. Petersburg, who undoubtedly shares the Virginian's views on racial and anti-communist difficulties. But it was seconded by the President's "political genius" House Minority Leader Halleck. When Chairman Byrnes was asked how he reconciled the Policy Committee's action with administration policy, he replied: "We do not have a policy committee simply for the purpose of rubber-stamping administration proposals." Byrnes said further that he did not regard Atty. Gen.

Rogers' official testimony as indicative of the President's position. Although he attends the weekly sessions of Republican legislative leaders at the White House, Byrnes added that he did not know how Eisenhower stood on the plan to curb the Supreme Court.

Build a new I inok In Indit Former Montgomery Writer Covers Foreign News On The Run The following was written by Henry Bradsher, of the Acssociated Press' New Delhi bureau, in a letter to an Advertiser friend. Bradsher was formerly with the AP in Montgomery. Ed.

TT SEEMS like I've been traveling almost continuously since the end of January. That was when I went home from New York for a brief vacation before departing that world for a vastly different one. Back through New York briefly, a stop in London to see the bureau there (because of low cable rates in what was the British Empire, we cable to London which relays to New York on a radio circuit), a week of vacation time to ski in the French Alps and stops for a few days in Athens, Beirut and Tehran and into New Delhi at the end of February. The immediate prospect was of little traveling from here because the bureau chief was about to go on home leave and I had to learn the administrative and business ropes in order to take those over along with news responsibility. Which planning went out the window three weeks after I arrived, and when was just learning my way around New Delhi, on the outbreak of fighting in Lhasa.

I was immediately packed off to Kalimpong and other points on the Indian border with Tibet (not really at that point, the little protectorate of Sikkim separates India and Tibet; some of my best stories originated in Gangtok, capital of Sikkim, but-the sources talked only on condition that the dateline be somewhere else, mostly Kalimpong but under New Delhi datelines). This was a most Interesting situation. People trying to plant rumors, people trying to sell information, people who come up quietly on the side to see if you're really a CIA man who can help them, people who're friendly and helpful and people who're hostile. And beautifully wild country I have a great weakness for mountains even if I do come from the flat Mississippi River delta country. CHASING THE DALAI Then when the Dalai Lama reached India, off to Tezpur, Assam.

As some of the sidebars indicated, that was no picnic. For two weeks I sweated out the DL's appearance, trying to cover all possible routes by which he could appear in public. By the time he did show up, about 75 newsmen from all over the world were there and it was one hell of a mob scene. So then back in New Delhi for one day, after a month out, and then on to Mussoorie, the dateline you know, to cover Nehru's visit to the DL, the lead being Nehru's invitation to the Chinese to send the Panchen Lama to visit the DL. The AP log noted that I was more than an hour ahead of the opposition on that invitation (in this business, that's a lot).

As you can see, it's a mad business. Waking up sleepy telegraph operators in one-horse towns so they can punch an old-fashioned key if you can first argue them iato accepting the copy; trying to make connections for yourself or your film on the first plane out of somewhere; being forced to drink the hospitable cup in order to get a story, when the tea or water or whatever is undoubtedly unsafe to drink by normal standards which never apply; wondering for two weeks or so whether that food was safe or those malarial mosquitoes really got to me, in short, a lot of fun. To bring this up to date on the "maybe-next-weck" story, no sooner had the bureau chief left than I had to go down to Kerala, a name you might know by now, the state at the southwest tip of India where communists form the state government. Form it at the moment, that is. LOVED AND UNLOVED The danger here is being too tightly embraced by one side so that the other side stops speaking to you.

And I'found my casual remarks with other reporters, those for the local papers in Malayam, appearing as supposedly indicating approval of both sides. It would have been bad enough if they'd quoted me directly, but they were making up things and putting them in my mouth such as I'd been in Algeria and the insurrection there wasn't anything like as powerful or widely supported as the movement against the Kerala government (I've never even been in Algeria). And. here again, similar to Kalimpong, there were the people who wanted to talk quietly on the side about weapons, You certainly could make money if you could figure out a way to smuggle arms for sale to the various people I meet. Anyway, except for little San Marino, this might be the first case of a legally elected communist government being kicked out of office.

The opposition hopes things will get so bloody that India's central government will step in and take over. And after Kerala, parliament meets in Ceylon June 30 if it doesn't get postponed again for the first time since Prime Minister Banda-naraike lost his parliamentary majority because his coalition began falling apart. So I'll probably go down there. New Delhi is pretty dull most summers when the temperature it was 111.6 yesterday drives officials out of town. Going to Ceylon means paying my income taxes in advance, because they won't let you leave the country unless you're paid up to the day of departure you never saw such tape.

The IScst Back in 1951, Venezuelan Dictator Jimenez began socking away money for a rainy day. On a salary of $60,000 a year he could afford a modest saving program. But when his regime was booted out last year, The Miami Ilcr aid reveals In a copyrighted story, Jiminez had proven again what thrift can do. In banks ail over the world, from New Orleans to Switzerland, he had deposited from $6,000,000 to He now lives In a $350,000 Miami Beach mansion and pays more than $1,000 a month for guards alone. Venezuela is South America's second richest country.

But Venezuelans are complaining Jiminez and his little saving program left their government dead broke. Jiminez gave the Herald what must be the Latin version of a no comment In answer to the newspaper's documented findings: "I do not judge It necessary to make any statements of clarification regarding this matter. I consider that my position is very strong, both ethically and legally." If true, he can claim to have set a modern record for frugality. The Decline Of The Crook Hardly a day passes but some doom-sayer cites an example of decadence Intended to prove that the decline of Western civilization Is already well advanced. Usually such evidence Is concerned with softness and complacency.

America's fondness for tailfins, for instance, Is the current Exhibit A of our decadence. Most of which can be dismissed as pure poppycock. But from Scotland Yard comes an observation which Is truly unsettling the deterioration of crime as an art. One nostalgic old Yard man recently commented that before the war pickpocketing was one of the more troublesome crimes; now It has all but disappeared; "The reasons are obvious. It takes years to develop the technique of picking a pocket and staying out of Jail." Today's thief, lazy and untalented, doesn't bother to learn his trade.

Instead he simply conks his victim on the head. A similar decline has been noticed among confidence men. Before the war, practitioners of this art would spend months preparing for a job: They were intelligent, glib, agreeable chaps of considerable general knowledge. When they crammed for a specific job they got to know it inside out. They would even bring confederates over from Australia or the United States if the sucker a maharajah or American millionaire perhaps needed additional persuasion they could provide.

The old con man would consider it an affront to his professional pride if he had to descend to this level I that of today's crook, who simply holds a gun on the rich man and that's that. All in all, the inspector painted a grim picture, the demoralization of the underworld. Somehow this strikes us as more portentous than gadget-buying and destroyer size automobiles. After all, if the crook loses his principles and ambition, where are we? Constantly on the alert for cracks in the foundation of the Republic, we are alarmed to rrport one of the most serious fissures to date: In Chicago a $2,500,000 bowling alley is so plush it has hired a full-time staff sociologist. But the political setting of all these penal laws emphasizes what was always true that their animus was not primarily theological but political and strategic.

The English kings and parliaments were not pursuing Englishmen for their ideas any more than was Monday's majority of the Supreme Court. The distinction between faith and what he considered sedition was vividly put by John Milton in an appeal to Parliament for religious liberty from which he expressly excluded the Catholics: Their religion the more considered, the less can be acknowledged a religion, but a Roman princlpallte rather endeavouring to keep up her old universal dominion under a new name supported mainly by a civil, and, except In Rome, by a foreign power; justly therefore to be suspected, not tolerated, by the magistrate of another country TN SHORT, never until the liberals of our own time did thinking men deny the truism in which Professor K. Jordan summarized the security laws of Elizabeth and her successors: "No government can be expected to tolerate a group which avowedly seeks its overthrow or which threatens its security It ls true that the English security (penali laws were barbarous in the extreme Infinitely more so than our own programs, with their worst abuses conceded. But It Is true, too, as John Stuart Mill suggested, that liberty might have perished had Queen Mary lived or Queen Elizabeth died Certainly it Is implausible to argue that the American Constitu tion-makers would have considered John Milton a traitor to freedom. Of course, the controversies of Mil ton's time are long ago now and far away.

We may assume that in the audience accorded the other day to the Queen Mother and the Princess Margaret by the reigning Pope notn- ing was said of the bull of 1570. One of the truly portentous signs or the times Is the drawing together or enns tians of many sects in revitalized re spect for the majestic church which is the mother or them an. But it will be a wonder and a pity to our grandchildren that there were Americans in mld-20th Century who still resisted measures against the power wielding the H-bomb measures infinitely milder than those directed by the fathers of Anglo-American lib erty against the masters of the Span ish Armada and the man with the bag of gunpowder in Parliament cellar. Here is another symptom of the moral relativism, historical Ignorance and philosophical illiteracy of the time. dum replied: "Honey, you're Just 50 years too late.

That's when I'd give a girl like you not only an oil well but a whole oil field." 'THE story is being told of an Oklahoma Indian who went to Las Vegas and lost his money, car and clothes.
