President Displeased But Signs WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon Saturday signed a 20 per cent boost in Social Security benefits to start in September But he called the measure fiscally irresponsible and said it will cause a $3 7-billion deficit that must be offset by cuts in other programs The Social Security measure the biggest money increase in the history was tied to a bill extending the $450-bilhon debt ceiling through Oct 31 of this year This linkage sponsored by Democrats in Congress but voted for by most Republicans made it impossible for Nixon to veto the Social Security boost without killing the increase in the debt ceiling Had the ceiling not been increased it would have automatically dropped to $400 billion thus crippling the government fiscally AMONG HIS serious objections Nixon said in a White House statement shortly before departing for a two-week stay in California is that this set the stage for what could be frantic election-eve scramble to attach a whole collection of seemingly attractive politically popular but fiscally irresponsible to the next debt ceiling bill He said he is placing Congress on notice now that if this occurs and offsetting cuts in other programs cannot be made I will not hesitate to exercise my right and responsibility to Congress rushed through the measure Friday just before recessing until July 17 and made it possible for the Social Security payments to be reflected in checks received Oct 3 a month before the election THE SOCIAL Security provisions also provide for fu-t automatic increases Turn to Page 2A Col 7 af 6 a By
