Show Th LeacUr Trtmonton. Utah Thursday, June 24, 1965 REPORTS FROM THE NATION'S CAPITOL BENNETT OPPOSES DEBT INCREASE Senator Wallace F. Bennett, said today in a Senate Speech during debate on the raising of the National Debt limit by another $4(b billion, "I wish we could tell the government, as our citizens are constantly told, 'you must live within your income.' " He said "the necessity of raising the national debt ceiling has become an annual experience over the last few years and we have no choice but to pass the legislation raising the ceiling." "We cannot put the Secretary of the Treasury in a position in which he cannot pay the bills of the United States. He cannot borrow the additional money that would be needed to cover the annual deficit unless the annual deficit is matched by an additional debt authorization of approximately the same amount," he said. Senator Bennett pointed out that for only six out of the past 35 years has the government had a .balanced budget. "The thing that worries me about this is that we have reached the point at which we take it for granted to raise the national debt ceiling and practically no one is concerned about it. "We look around the Senate Chamber today at a time we are raising the ceiling $4 b billion and there are only a handful of Senators here," he said. "The fact that we can raise the debt ceiling and finance a program to which we have already committed ourselves is too easy a solution," he said. "I wish there were a way by which the Congress could effectively put swne brakes on the process of spend first and finance afterward," he said. "If we were private citizens, handling our own money, someone else would certainly put the brake on us. The banks or credit departments in various retail stores would tell us," 'You have all you can get. You must pay now.' " MOSS FAVORS LABELING CIGARETTES On the Senate floor Wednesday Sen. Frank E. Moss gave strong support to passage of a bill which would place labels warning of health hazards on cigarette packages. Sen. Maurine Neuberger is sponsor of the Senate measure, with Sen. Moss a cosponsor. Sen. Moss emphasized that there are probably many reasons why cigarette smokers have not more closely followed the Surgeon General's report, the most significant being that the federal government has failed to take a single positive step to demonstrate its support of the report on smoking and health. Sen. Moss said inaction by Congress has unfortunately contributed to public confusion encourages cigarette manufacturers to continue their claims that the facts have not been established and that more research is needed." Sen. Moss said: "Because of the steady increase in the number of smokers and in the amount of tobacco consumed during the past few decades, we can expect deaths of lung cancer to continue to rise. The human waste is appalling. I believe it is our duty not only to impose a warning label but to establish one that is clear and unequivocal and as strong as the present facts warrant." Sen. Moss earlier this year testified before the Senate Commerce Committee in support of the Neuberger bill. and a certain amount of incredulity concerning the findings established by the Surgeon General's advisory committee. "Not only have we failed in the 18 months following the report to take any direct action to warn the public of the dangers of smoking through labeling or advertising restrictions," Sen. Moss continued, "by our silence we created a climate BURTON SEES of opinion which BONNEVILLE think we can confidently expect that during this session Congress will appropriate $3.5 million for the Bonneville Unit," the Utah Congressman said. "I believe the appropriation item for the Bonneville Unit will be favorably reported out of the House Appropriations Committee shortly, and full Congressional approval will be obtained sometime this summer. This will mean that we can begin construction this year," Mr. Burton stated. "We in Utah have waited a long time for the first spade of earth to be turned on the Central Utah Project. It was extremely disappointing to all Utahns that the President's budget message did not recommend funds for Central Utah," Mr. Burton said. "However, in spite of this, all members of the Utah delegation have worked together in an effort to obtain funds for the project, and it looks now as if we will be successful in obtaining them." Mr. Burton pointed out that testimony was heard before both the House and Senate Public Works Appropriations Subcommittees last month on the Bonneville Unit. At that time both Utah Senators and the two Congressmen testified in support of an appropriation of $3.5 million for the project. Also giving testimony at the hearings were Gov. Calvin L. Ram-ptoand former Governor I n George D. Clyde. Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Watling-to- n of Blackfoot, Ida., visited Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Burgess in Tremonton.
