It gets chuckles. WASHINGTON. Jn 17 Thr House Wy and Meam Committee today approved legulation for a $5,000,000,000 increase in the national debt limit.

The meaure would raise the debt ceiling from to $280,000,000,000. The committee voted down a proposal to hold the increase to $3,000,000,000. The House expected to act on the bill next Tuesday. Secretary of the Treasury Anderson told the committee that "distressingly low" cash balances in the Treasury necessitated the increase. BANK BALANCES DROP He said the cash position now is so tight that next month treasury balances in commercial banks may get down to 250 million dollars" or less than an average day's disbursements." Appearing before the House Ways and Means Committee, Anderson said the request for a hike in the debt limit from 275 to 280 billion dollars until June 30, 1959, was based also on the need for more flexibility in managing debt obligations.

In recent years, much of the debt financing has been through short-term notes and certificates rather than long-term bonds. rescue workers recovered one body some 11 hours later. A mine official said the body recovered was that of Cecelio Garcia, 36, of Helper, a nearby town. It still was nbt known whether the other three men were dead or alive. Rescue teams were still digging through the rubble of coal and rock left when a "bounce" an earth-tremer collapsed the roof of the company's mine near this community, 14 miles northwest of Price in Central Utah.

The Secretary noted the Treasury must meet more than 25 billion dollars of Treasury bills coming due within the next 90 days, and more than 50 billion in all forms of Treasury obligations maturing in the calendar year 1958. The higher debt limit, he said, will help the Treasury "take advantage of opportunities irT the period ahead of us" The other day it got results. Harry was interrogating a man suspected of acquiring goods in unorthodox transactions after hours, but fired question after question without result.

The chilly blanket of fog extended over an area of thousands of miles almost without breaX.

VAST AREA COVERED From Bakersfield in the south to Red Bluff in the north, the fog clung to the ground. Along the Coast, the area from Monterey north through Sonoma County was "socked in." In the Oakland area, motorists making a normal 20-minute commute trip from the Orinda-Walnut Creek region into Oakland proper at 5 a.m. reported the trip took more than an hour today. It was the airlines which suffered the most severe disruptions as hundreds of passengers found themselves stranded hundreds of miles from where they wanted to be.

Dr. Galioni, clinical director of Stockton State Mental Hospital, was called to the stand yesterday as first rebuttal witness for Sorenson after the defense rested its case on a plea of innocence by reason of insanity. His testimony was in sharp contrast to the defense's last witness, Dr. Walter Rapaport, superintendent of Agnew State Hospital, and signalled the opening round in the coming battle of psychiatrists over interpretations of Elaine's mind. In Dr.

Rapaport's diagnosis, Elaine was suffering from schizophrenia, a splitting of the emotions from the intellect, and therefore was not capable of premeditation. His testimony was a big setback for Sorenson who angrily protested It was not ad-missable at this portion of the trial where the defendant by law is conclusively presumed to be sane. The question of Elaine's sanity is to be probed at a later hearing after the seven-man, five-woman jury returns a verdict on the first degree murder charge which could send Miss Soule to the gas chamber. But Judge Blum, after continual consultations with both attorneys and the law books, allowed Dr. Rapaport's testimony on grounds it was being used only to show if Elaine was capable of premeditating tne killing of Kit in their Burhngame apartment.

RULING CLEARS WAY The judge's ruling opened the way for Dr. Galioni to take the stand, but he testified over the protests of Cost and his co-counsel Brook. Ice. Both attorneys objected that Dr. Galioni was appointed by the court to testify on her transport aircraft had taken off from Oakland and conditions had continued to be "zero-zero" at San Francisco.

Flying was almost at a complete standstill at Alameda Naval Air Station at the noon hour because of the fog. Shortly before 1 p.m., however, Oakland began receiving traffic and planes were taking off from San Francisco but not landing.

With Judge Blum overruling the motion to strike his testimony.

Dr. Galioni took the stand to advance his theory of Elaine's state of mind. "In my studies," he stated, "I found a girl who has placed a strong premium against unpleasant emotions, emotions which she controlled jpracti-cally at all costs." Elaine, he said, could never come out and admit to arguments and altercations in her life, but only refer -to them as quiet disagreements. TENSIONS BUILD UP "This was as far as she could go, and when you go through life, 'sitting on a so to speak," he said, "the tensions build up with no way of dissipating them. "Elaine," he said, "found it 'extremely unpleasant to admit having emotions of She was a quiet girl, self controlled.

"Yet she did experience them." In his opinion the psychiatrist spoke slowly and thoughtfullythe killing of Miss Elvins was "an outbreak of anger, a violent act of purposeful destruction, not only of Kit, but of herself." Elaine, then had to find some way of denying the anger she felt, Dr. Galioni said, and to do this the element of the check came into it "Money," he said, "was better reason to explain her actions than an admission of anger." The killing of Kit, he concluded was the "intent expression of anger with the purposeful goal of destruction directed toward Catherine Elvins." "However," he said, "Elaine had the mental ability to interpret the situation around her and did have the intent to kiU." for long-term financing. Anderson had asked the increase by letter three days ago, saying he needs "sufficient flexibility that will allow us the capacity to do as good a job as we can in the management of the debt." In advance of Anderson's appearance, committee approval was regarded as certain. House leaders, anticipating no concerted opposition, already have scheduled debt increase legislation for a vote on passage next Tuesday.

17 A psychiatrist for the proscu-t today startled the court-n in the Elaine Soule mur-trial by advancing the that her victim, Catherine (Kit) Elvins may first have attacked Miss Soule In their Burhngame apartment Dr. Otto G. Freyermuth, 81-year-ofd San Francisco psychiatrist, said in his testimony that Miss Soule was capable of forming intent and that the slaying was; deliberate and premediated. GIRLS FIGHTING? However, he said it was possible the were fighting hand to hnd the early morning of J4ly 24 when Miss Elvins was slain. He said it was possible that Miss Elvins awakened, saw Miss Soule with the $160 check sent her by her parents from Seattle, and attacked Miss Soule.

Under this theory Elaine then picked up the electric iron and beat Miss Elvins, he added. He based this theory on the fact that he noted scratches on Miss Soule's arm and neck and bruises which she said she hadn't noticed until he examined her. Dr. Freyermuth's testimony was admitted over the objections of the girl's defense counsel who declared it was a violation of her rights under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

However, Superior Judge Frank Blum ordered stricken Dr. Freyermuth's statement that the girl was sane. TESTIMONY This contrasted to the prosecution's first rebuttal witness, Dr. William Galioni who testified that Elaine killed out of anger and in his opinion was mentally ill. Defense Atty.

John Cost protested admitting Dr. Freyermuth's testimony, holding that it would have the effect of compelling the 20-year-old defendant to testify against herself. He held that the psychiatrist examined the girl at court order to test her sanity only and that any testimony other than on this point would be regarding information she gave him for a different purpose. GOOD MEMORY Dr. Freyermuth testified that his examination showed Elaine had good memory afterwards, was quick with answers, able to understand what he said and generally made no effort to conceal.

Dr. Galioni said that Elaine did not kill for money, as maintained yesterday by Dist Atty. Kieth Sorenson. And with rapid-fire cross examination, defense counsel Cost won from him -the admission that Miss Soule in his opinion was mentally ill that morning. The state has contended Elaine murdered her roommate because of her need for Kit's money, specifically in the form of a $160 check sent to Miss Elvins by her parents in Seattle.
