...year ago Humphrey warned Congress that the ceiling had to go up. He asked that it be raised to $290 billion. The House promptly voted the increase, but the Senate, under pressure from Virginia's economy-minded Harry Byrd, declined to act. Humphrey managed to stay under the limit last year, but he told the reluctant Senators last week that the problem is worse this year: there is no more slack to be taken...

He named some alternatives: 1) authorize a smaller increase in the debt limit; 2) apply the debt ceiling only at the end of a fiscal year, thus allowing for seasonal peaks; 3) redefine the type of debt subject to the ceiling; 4) take tax-anticipation certificates out from under the ceiling.

Drawing a deep breath, he adds: "I wish I could be as big as they...
...between New Haven and Boston last week, the New Haven's new president, Patrick B. McGinnis, who wooed stockholders with the promise of better passenger service, put on a demonstration of ACF's speedy train. With special ICC permission, the engineer disregarded the 60-m.p.h. speed limit on curves, went into the turns at 87 m.p.h. On the long straightaways, he pushed ACF's Talgo up to 102.8 m.p.h. and pulled into Boston in 150 minutes. Though it was a stop-and-start experimental run, the time was still ten minutes better than the best previous record...
